On Sunday 23 April, most than 30,000 people participated in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers) around the city center.
The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one, just 6, 225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It is one of the ‘World Marathon Majors’, which is a competition made up of six global marathon events. The overall male and female winners receive $1 million in prize money between them There are eleven people who have run every London Marathon since it began—they call themselves the ‘Ever Presents.’
This year, the winners of the London Marathon were surprisingly both from Kenya—Daniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes.
However, most marathon runners are not professional athletes. They are amateurs who have trained for months to raise money for charity or just as a personal challenge. For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the run’s halfway point, as he is crawling the course on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(大猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for the charity ‘The Gorilla Organization’.
Matthew Rees was another runner to encourage people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help David Wyeth run the last 200m.They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was exhausted and possibly close to collapsing, and wanted to help him finish.
Every year there are lots of touching stories like this from the London Marathon, and it is a huge achievement even to run the 26.2 miles!

It is true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There is also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2012 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that, "The global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity."
You may not believe that humans could change the planet's climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.
Of course, the earth's climate has always been changing due to "natural" factors(因素) such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth's going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere—not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it, "If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren't carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be "
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths—one with human influence and one without That obviously isn't possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
28. In most scientists' opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by _____.
A. solar activities B. volcanic activities C. natural factors D. human factors
29. The passage is developed by_____.
A. giving typical examples B. following the order of space
C. analyzing a theory and arguing it D. comparing and finding differences
30. We can reasonably know from the passage that _____.
A. "natural" factors also contribute to changes of earth's climate
B. greenhouse gases also have some benefits to the earth
C. there is another planet that is exactly the same as the earth
D. increasing temperature can not be proved with 100% certainty
31. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific
B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to
C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming
D. What's Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases
D
There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours—you don’t need that “refreshment break” as much as you may think.
Scientists believed it was not easy for people to continue their work if they felt the need to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better. They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest, food or entertainment.
But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is in your head. They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something that’s limited, you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task,” said Professor Veronika Job. “But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted, you can go on and on.”
The researchers led by Mr. Job designed an experiment to test the students’ beliefs about willpower. After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a limited resource performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over.
Mr. Job said, “Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their powers of concentration are limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”
The findings could help people who are battling with temptation(诱惑): people following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight, people trying to overcome addictions, employees facing a tight deadline. Willpower isn’t driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think.
32. What opinion did scientists have in the past
A. Willpower was a limited resource. B. It was hard to regain willpower.
C. Hardworking people seldom took breaks. D. People could easily feel tired when working.
33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 3
A. Given up. B. Recovered. C. Used up. D. Changed.
34. What can we learn from the findings of the experiment
A. Students benefit most from the research.
B. Frequent breaks are not good for learning.
C. Will power can be regained after people have a good rest.
D. The belief in willpower can change a man’s behavior.
35 Why does the author write the text
A. To explain the power of willpower.
B. To show us how to build willpower.
C. To tell us the ways of gaining willpower.
D. To introduce a new theory on willpower.
