I was given the book Running on Faith written by Jason Lester as a birthday gift last month. After I started reading, I really couldn’t keep my eyes off it. It is always inspiring to read a story of someone who has gone through obstacles to reach his goals.
Jason Lester is a disabled extreme athlete. When he was twelve years old, a fast car ran a red light and hit him. Then he was sent into the hospital with twenty broken bones and a seriously injured arm. Jason had always wanted to become a famous baseball player, but at that time that dream was gone.
However, Jason loved sports and he still wanted to be a good athlete. He began running and taking part in duathlons(铁人两项比赛) in high school. Years later in 2004, he decided to start training for the Ironman, and has competed in many extreme races since then. In 2008, Jason became the first disabled athlete to complete the Ultraman (320 miles of biking, swimming and running), and it led him to an ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability in 2009.
If you are in a bad situation and don’t know what to do now, Running on Faith is a good book for you. If you love running and want to reach some race goals, this book is good for you, too. Anyway, this book is worth reading for everyone who loves reading and wants to turn dreams into reality.
24. What does the underlined word "obstacles" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Difficulties. B. Worries.
C. Arrangements. D. Experiences.
25. What happened to Jason Lester when he was 12
A. He ran a red light and got injured.
B. He was seriously hurt in the accident.
C. He decided to play baseball after the accident.
D. He lost the courage to be an extreme athlete.
26. Why does the author write the last paragraph
A. To show how dreams can come true.
B. To explore the way to be a good athlete.
C. To recommend reading Running on Faith.
D. To explain why Running on Faith is popular.
27. Which of the following saying can best summarize the text
A. Always prepare for the rainy day.
B. Mental strength is the key to success.
C. A thousand-mile journey begins with the first step.
D. Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.

⑴.Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in California's history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this year. Why is the Golden State so flammable
⑵.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur.
⑶.A second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the "wildland-urban interface", are at higher risk of wildfire.
⑷.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one.
⑸.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company.
28. What may directly cause the big fire in California
A. The warm climate. B. Living too close to nature.
C. Too much fuel. D. Sparks from electric wire
29. What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest
A. The fires in California are all very destructive.
B. The latest big fire in California is very destructive.
C. California suffered from destructive fires most last year.
D. There have been six destructive fires in California in the past 10 years.
30. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The reasons why California suffered a destructive fire recently.
B. The reasons why California suffered fires frequently(频繁地).
C. The facts that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.
D. The opinions that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.
31. What is the structure of the text
A. ⑴//⑵-⑶//⑷-⑸ B. ⑴-⑵//⑶-⑸
C. ⑴//⑵-⑷//⑸ D. ⑴//⑵-⑸
D
Scientists believe they have found help for older people suffering from poor eyesight. The solution is shining a special red light in the eyes for three minutes. Staring at a deep red light for three minutes a day can greatly improve falling eyesight, finds a new University London-led (or UCL-led) study, the first of its kind in humans. They believe the discovery could signal the dawn of new affordable home-based eye therapies (疗法), helping millions of people globally with naturally falling eyesight.
Doctors say a three-minute daily dose of the special red light for two weeks could help improve age-related vision problems. However, they say not any red light will help improve eyesight. The co-author of a study into the effects of red light and vision in older people explained why. Professor Glen Jeffery said: “I strongly suggest that people do not just go and buy a red light off the web. They have to produce the right wavelength (波长) and be reliable. We are looking for a business partner to do this and to price them at under around $20 to $25.”
The study was carried out by a team from University College London. Researchers conducted tests on 24 men and women aged between 28 and 72. They said some cells that help us process light had worsened in the older people.
Doctors say their red light improved the ability of these people to detect different colors, particularly blue. The vision of these older people improved by as much as 22 percent. Doctor Jeffrey said: “Populations are ageing rapidly and this is going to be a major issue in the future. We need to gear up (……做准备) for this.” He added: “If you can’t see clearly, you can’t read or watch TV. You also tend to fall down and break bones. Our lights are a step in this direction.”
32. What could help older people suffering from poor eyesight
A. using flashlight in dark place.
B. a new brochure for shining their eyes.
C. one medicine for curing poor eyesight.
D. shining red light in their eyes for several minutes.
33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A. Where to buy red light. B. The price of red light.
C. Any red light can help older people. D. Older people should carefully choose red light.
34. What details can we get from this passage
A. Researchers conducted tests on age 18-73. B. Aged people tend to be weak in sight.
C. Red light cannot improve detecting colors. D. Population will be a big challenge.
35. What is Jeffrey’s conclusion
A. Buy red light on the web. B. You can read by red light.
C. Red light may help older people. D. Older people will see clearly.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study(书房) at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右
The mother said, "This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
________________________________________________________________________________________
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy's bad attitude disappeared.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Zimbabwe中“When to visit: April and October bring sunny days and clear, cold nights, while July through September is the best time for wildlife viewing and white-water activities.( 游览时间:4月和10月的白天阳光明媚,夜晚清澈寒冷,而7月到9月是观赏野生动物和参加激流活动的最佳时间。)”可知,7月到9月是游览津巴布韦的最佳时间,结合选项可知,8月是去津巴布韦看野生动物的最佳时间。故选C。

Dear David,
I am glad to know that you are interested in Chinese Calligraphy. Chinese Calligraphy is an essential part of Chinese traditional culture. Not only is it a practical technique for writing Chinese characters, but also a unique art which can help purify our souls.
If you want to be a good user of the writing brush, first you have to be patient. Second, you have to keep practising since practice makes perfect. Just be confident and practise hard and you'll be an expert in Chinese calligraphy.
I would appreciate it if my advice can be of great help for you.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写:
The mother said,“This chocolate is a reward for your imagination -- a window-opening cat!” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed, lowered his head and muttered a thank-you. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand.“This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.”She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these hearty remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins, and had to duck his head even lower. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolate for any other merits he had displayed in this event. He did as was told to, confessing that he was calm when facing the accident.
Now with some chocolate in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared.His palm and forehead sweating, nervousness welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment.“I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolate. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling. “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.”
