My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P．E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”．
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon，I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to read－just.Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3，I passed a sign：“GO FOR IT，RUNNERS！”
By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21，I was starving!
As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m.or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished！And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．
24．A month before the marathon，the author ________.
A．was well trained
B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run
D．lost hope
25．Why did the author mention the P．E.class in his 7th year
A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
26．How was the author’s first marathon
A．He made it.
B．He quit half way.
C．He got the first prize.
D．He walked to the end.
27．What does the story mainly tell us
A．A man owes his success to his family support.
B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.
C
“She was lost in her book.”“He couldn’t put the book down.”“I was on the edge of my seat.”These are all common phrases that we may use to describe the experience we have when we read books.In the middle of a good book，we may feel as though we have left the real world behind.
So how do our minds use the letters on the page to let us step into the shoes of our favourite characters and experience the events in a story？Recent studies show that the reason is that our minds really do pretend that we are actually participating in the story.Just like a flight simulator(模拟器) allows training pilots to practice flying a plane，stories seem to be a life simulator，allowing our minds to pretend they are doing all sorts of interesting activities.Let us take a look at some of these studies.
In one set of studies，scientists presented the participants in their study with sentences like “The man saw the bird in the sky”and “The man saw the bird in the nest.”Participants in the study would read the sentences on a computer screen，and would then see an image on the screen that either matched or did not match the sentences.People would click a button faster when the sentence and image matched than when they did not match.Notice that there is nothing in the sentence that tells the participants in the study how the bird should look—both sentences simply say，“the bird”．So，when people are faster to respond to the matching image，we can conclude it is because of perceptual(感觉的) simulation.
In the new research，scientists are also beginning to find that difficulty creating these mental simulations is related to difficulty understanding and following stories that are longer and more detailed.So，for some children，not being able to see the stories in their minds may make it harder for them to keep track of everything that is going on and where，when and why it is going on.This means that this research is important，not only because it tells us something interesting about how our minds work but also because the findings could someday help teachers and parents find new ways to help children who are having difficulty with reading.
28．According to Paragraph 1，readers are likely to ________.
A．get lost in a book
B．forget what they have read
C．have difficulty keeping reading
D．get different feelings from the same book
29．A flight simulator is mentioned to ________.
A．show the advantages of reading
B．explain how to read more efficiently
C．show the differences between reading and flying
D．explain what happens in our minds while reading
30．What can we infer from the studies mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．Readers are good at matching.
B．Readers prefer images to words.
C．Readers are usually very imaginative.
D．Readers create mental images while reading.
31．The research findings mentioned in the text may help ________．
A．people read carefully for details
B．people read short articles quickly
C．those who find it difficult to read
D．those who show no interest in reading
D
Patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often struggle to remember recently learned information，meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys.But it seems that these memories are not lost.They are still filed away in the brain somewhere；they just can’t be easily accessed.
Now，researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimer’s.The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元)．Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects’ brains，but the same principles still apply，the researchers said.
“The important point is that this is evidence of the concept.That is，even if a memory seems to be gone，it is still there.It’s a matter of how to get it back，” said the senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.
The team took two groups of mice，one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s and one healthy.They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock.All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later.When placed in the room a third time several days later，the Alzheimer’s mice acted normally.They had forgotten the shock.
The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored.Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room，they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.
“Short－term memories seem to be normal in order of hours.But for long－term memories，these early－Alzheimer’s mice seem to be damaged，” said the lead researcher Dheeraj Roy.“Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back.This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information，not that they are unable to learn or store this memory.”
32．What can we learn about the researchers at MIT
A．They are the pioneers of brain research.
B．They have used the method in human trials.
C．They can cure Alzheimer’s using the new method.
D．They can get back memories in mice with Alzheimer’s.
33．Why did the Alzheimer’s mice behave normally the third time
A．They failed to remember the electric shock.
B．They were accustomed to the situation.
C．They managed to overcome the fear.
D．They activated the association automatically.
34．For long－term memories，the early－Alzheimer’s mice ________．
A．can transform their brain cells
B．can’t learn new tricks well
C．can easily get back their memories
D．can’t access the information stored
35．The main purpose of the text is to ________．
A．introduce a method of a research
B．report the latest discovery about a disease
C．give advice on how to improve memories
D．explain how a brain stored information
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“You are what you eat，”goes an English saying.But actually，you are what you drink.Why？Because 75% of your body is water！__36__ When we don’t give our bodies enough water，our organs cannot work properly.We are also easier to catch a disease.When we are sick，drinking plenty of water should be one of the first things we do.__37__
Is your body asking for more water
If you experience headaches，sleepiness，allergies (过敏) or dizziness (头昏眼花)，your body might be telling you to drink more water.__38__
Even problems such as nervousness or forgetfulness can be caused by lack of water.In addition，the medicines that treat these illnesses can sometimes dry out your body further.The more water you are lacking in，the worse your health will be—no matter how much medicine you take.__39__
How much water is enough for you
Most experts suggest drinking at least 8－ounce glasses of water every day.However，if you weigh more than 128 pounds，you need even more water.Drink an extra glass of water for every 15 pounds of body weight.
Drink more water in the hot summer months and when you exercise to replenish (补充) the water loss through sweating.Caffeine makes your body lose water very quickly.So drink extra water if you drink beverages such as coffee，tea and soda.
Helpful tips
Try these tips to help yourself drink more water.
·Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink.__40__
·Plan to have enough water.
·Carry a bottle of pure water with you wherever you go.
·Don’t hesitate by frequent trips to the toilet.
Drinking plenty of water can take as much time as you need and prevent serious illness in the future.So pour yourself a glass of water and drink up!
A．Drink water regularly and drink each time.
B．All kinds of drink will contribute to your health.
C．If you’re thirsty，you’re already lack of water.
D．Instead，we usually depend on drugs to make us well.
E．Lack of water may be the real reason for your sickness.
F．Therefore，it is important to listen to your body when it asks for a drink.
G．With this fact in mind，it’s no surprise that drinking enough water is crucial for good health.

Attention，all students.By now，all of you have heard about the event that happened at Coolidge Hall last weekend.On Saturday night at about 11：00，two freshmen reported that their TV，DVD player，and both of their computers were stolen from their dorm room.Their Samsung TV and DVD player together are valued at $600，but their Apple computers are each valued at $1，000.Because the total value of these goods is over $500，it is the most serious type of crime.So far，campus security and the local police have been unable to find the stolen items or the thieves.We need your help.If you were in the area of Coolidge Hall at the time of the robbery，and you think you saw something，please contact campus security at 658－2230.You can also stop by one of the three offices on campus 24 hours a day.Please do not contact the local police department directly.They are very busy with other cases，and they have asked that all information about this case go through campus security.Please keep an eye out for the items.Whoever took them probably wants to sell them before taking anything else.If you are offered some “used” electronics that match the description of the stolen goods，please call us right away.In the meantime，we are adding extra security staff around the dormitories，but please be especially careful with your valuable items.
