I ran marathons but grew bored of them, so I stepped up the challenge: and competed in triathlons (三项全能) for the next five years. I thought I discovered my passion. I’m a fierce competitor and enjoy racing even more. At 38, I was unable to compete and train at the level I desired. I was fearful of being lost and unhappy again.
As I was leaving the weights area one day, a girl asked if I competed in body building. I told her I didn’t and she said I should. This was the start of my new passion. I approached a bodybuilder at the gym and asked him about the sport and he convinced me to train for my first figure show.
I won every class I entered. I demanded a great deal from my body and aimed to improve before every competition, I maintained 10-11 percent body fat all year round. I have added 10 pounds: of muscle in the past four years.

A fire swallowed a warehouse (仓库) on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, threatening to spread to a historic World War II-era ship before firefighters controlled it. One firefighter got a hand injury while battling the fire.
After the fire, investigators searched the building to determine whether homeless people were inside. “We’re trying to confirm if anybody is in this building,” San Francisco Fire Lt. Jonathan Baxter said. “Nobody is supposed to be in the building and we are hoping that there is no victim.”
However, at least two workers were inside the warehouse when the fire broke out before dawn. Alejandro Arellano was cleaning out a fish storage locker when the fire began shortly after 4 a.m. “I saw a lot of smoke. A few minutes later, fire was everywhere,” he said. “It was very scary. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
More than 130 firefighters fought the fire, some using ladder trucks to drench (浸湿) the warehouse from above. A fireboat was used to protect a ship that stormed Normandy on D-Day in 1944. The ship is among numerous tourist attractions on the wharf. Coast Guard crewmembers and police assisted by keeping other ships away.
Shops and restaurants on the wharf have been shut in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus (冠状病毒) and were expected to reopen on May 31. Fishing companies said the fire worsened an already tough business climate. Kenny Belov, owner of the seafood wholesaler TwoXSea, said his building near the warehouse was not damaged but he worried the fish in his freezer could be ruined. Fire investigators were still assessing the damage and were looking into the cause.
8. Why did investigators search the building after the fire
A. To search for valuable things.
B. To make sure the fire was really out.
C. To make sure nobody was trapped in the fire.
D. To look for the person who caused the fire.

C. They carried ladder trucks. D. They sent the injured to hospital.
10. What can we learn from the text

B. The fire helped slow the spread of the disease.
C. Kenny Belov’s building was damaged in the fire.
D. Shops and restaurants were closed because of the fire.
11. What is the best title of the text
A. A Big Fire Was Put out by Firefighters
B. A Big Fire Broke out Early in the Morning.
C. Firefighters Are Looking for Victims of a Big Fire
D. Investigators Are Looking for the Cause of Big Fire

A foreign language app with more than 300 million users is marking: Columbus Day, which is alternatively recognized as Indigenous (土著的) Peoples’ Day, by 1aunching classes in two native languages.
The Duolingo app, which is free, has started offering classes in olelo Hawaii and Navajo. “Navajo is the most popular indigenous language in North America,” said Duolingo’s lead community. specialist Myra Awodey, who pushed for the, addition of this Native American tongue and expressed concern about the death of languages that, aren’t used. Rosetta Stone, another language-teaching program, also has a Navajo course as part of its endangered language series.
We have lost around 600 languages in the last 100 years and as many as 90 percent of the world’s languages could extinct by the end of the century, according to the United Nations Permanent Forum of Indigenous Issues.
The app developed its course in Hawaiian, after it was approached by networks of schools, organizations and programs focused on education in Hawaii. “So many people in our community cherish olelo Hawaii, but not all of them have the time or resources to take classes,” said Poki’I Seto of the Kanaeokana network that promotes; the teaching of the native Hawaiian language. “The Hawaiian language movement is carrying our olelo to places we never thought it would go. And that’s how it should be.”
Duolingo’s new indigenous curricula (课程) aren’t full. courses like for English or Spanish or German, but are starting as a sort of boot camps to expand later. It’s expensive for apps to develop courses for smaller languages because the classes, must use recordings of real people speaking the language. In contrast, courses for more, common tongues such as English, Spanish or German can use computerized voices.
12. How did the foreign language app mark Columbus Day
A. By holding a ceremony.
B. By asking people to attend classes.
C. By giving classes in native languages.
D. By showing the importance of native languages.
13. What does the underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Disappear. B. Develop. C. Function. D. Change.
14. What is Poki’i Seto’s attitude towards the Hawaiian language movement
A. Regretted. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A newspaper.

Many of the stories that I read on HelpOthers are all about helping other people, doing actsof kindness for someone else. Often times it's easy to forget that no matter who you are, you're not always the giver. Sometimes it's we who receive that random act of kindness. When it happens, it almost feels odd(古怪的) to some extent that you are on the other end-receiving vs giving. In some way, it can be quite a humbling(使谦恭) experience.

I’m a fierce competitor and enjoy racing even more. At 38, I was unable to compete and train at the level I desired. I was fearful of being lost and unhappy again.
As I was leaving the weights area one day, a girl asked if I competed in body building. I told her I didn’t and she said I should. This was the start of my new passion. I approached a bodybuilder at the gym and asked him about the sport and he convinced me to train for my first figure show.
I won every class I entered. I demanded a great deal from my body and aimed to improve before every competition, I maintained 10-11 percent body fat all year round. I have added 10 pounds: of muscle in the past four years.
Women over 40 needs to know that it’s possible to achieve our dreams. It’s about choices. Age isn’t a factor. If you want it, you have to work for it. If it were handed to you, it wouldn’t be sweet or unique.

A fire swallowed a warehouse (仓库) on San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, threatening to spread to a historic World War II-era ship before firefighters controlled it. One firefighter got a hand injury while battling the fire.
After the fire, investigators searched the building to determine whether homeless people were inside. “We’re trying to confirm if anybody is in this building,” San Francisco Fire Lt. Jonathan Baxter said. “Nobody is supposed to be in the building and we are hoping that there is no victim.”
However, at least two workers were inside the warehouse when the fire broke out before dawn. Alejandro Arellano was cleaning out a fish storage locker when the fire began shortly after 4 a.m. “I saw a lot of smoke. A few minutes later, fire was everywhere,” he said. “It was very scary. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
More than 130 firefighters fought the fire, some using ladder trucks to drench (浸湿) the warehouse from above. A fireboat was used to protect a ship that stormed Normandy on D-Day in 1944. The ship is among numerous tourist attractions on the wharf. Coast Guard crewmembers and police assisted by keeping other ships away.
Shops and restaurants on the wharf have been shut in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus (冠状病毒) and were expected to reopen on May 31. Fishing companies said the fire worsened an already tough business climate. Kenny Belov, owner of the seafood wholesaler TwoXSea, said his building near the warehouse was not damaged but he worried the fish in his freezer could be ruined. Fire investigators were still assessing the damage and were looking into the cause.
8. Why did investigators search the building after the fire

B. The fire helped slow the spread of the disease.

D. Shops and restaurants were closed because of the fire.
11. What is the best title of the text

B. A Big Fire Broke out Early in the Morning.
C. Firefighters Are Looking for Victims of a Big Fire
D. Investigators Are Looking for the Cause of Big Fire
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B

A foreign language app with more than 300 million users is marking: Columbus Day, which is alternatively recognized as Indigenous (土著的) Peoples’ Day, by 1aunching classes in two native languages.
The Duolingo app, which is free, has started offering classes in olelo Hawaii and Navajo. “Navajo is the most popular indigenous language in North America,” said Duolingo’s lead community. specialist Myra Awodey, who pushed for the, addition of this Native American tongue and expressed concern about the death of languages that, aren’t used. Rosetta Stone, another language-teaching program, also has a Navajo course as part of its endangered language series.
We have lost around 600 languages in the last 100 years and as many as 90 percent of the world’s languages could extinct by the end of the century, according to the United Nations Permanent Forum of Indigenous Issues.
The app developed its course in Hawaiian, after it was approached by networks of schools, organizations and programs focused on education in Hawaii. “So many people in our community cherish olelo Hawaii, but not all of them have the time or resources to take classes,” said Poki’I Seto of the Kanaeokana network that promotes; the teaching of the native Hawaiian language. “The Hawaiian language movement is carrying our olelo to places we never thought it would go. And that’s how it should be.”
Duolingo’s new indigenous curricula (课程) aren’t full. courses like for English or Spanish or German, but are starting as a sort of boot camps to expand later. It’s expensive for apps to develop courses for smaller languages because the classes, must use recordings of real people speaking the language. In contrast, courses for more, common tongues such as English, Spanish or German can use computerized voices.
12. How did the foreign language app mark Columbus Day
A. By holding a ceremony.
B. By asking people to attend classes.
C. By giving classes in native languages.
D. By showing the importance of native languages.
13. What does the underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Disappear. B. Develop. C. Function. D. Change.
14. What is Poki’i Seto’s attitude towards the Hawaiian language movement
A. Regretted. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Anxious.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A newspaper.

【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“We have lost around 600 languages in the last 100 years(在过去的100年里，我们已经失去了大约600种语言)”可知，此处是在讲述语言的灭绝，所以后文是说“到本世纪末，世界上多达90%的语言可能会灭绝”，推知extinct为“灭绝”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many of the stories that I read on HelpOthers are all about helping other people, doing actsof kindness for someone else. Often times it's easy to forget that no matter who you are, you're not always the giver. Sometimes it's we who receive that random act of kindness. When it happens, it almost feels odd(古怪的) to some extent that you are on the other end-receiving vs giving. In some way, it can be quite a humbling(使谦恭) experience.
My daughter and I had gone into Subway one evening to get sandwiches for the two of us, plus one for my wife. Before going to Subway, I had checked my bank account to make sure that I had money on my debit card. I had moved what I thought to be several hundred dollars to my ing out in a hurry, I never confirmed the transaction and so I actually had no money in my account.
When I stepped up to cash register to pay for our sandwiches, my debit card got rejected. I stood there telling the cashier it had to be a mistake. So they ran it again. REJECTED!!! Well, I was sure most pecple have been in this isort of situation and how embarrassing it could be. Of course, there was a long line of people waiting, hearing this whole thing. Behind me, I noticed there was a young man in his mid-20's. I asked the cashier to hold the sandwiches and that I would come back for them. I went out to my car and called my son, asking him to check my account on line. Well, I learned I never actually moved the money.
I was explaining to my son what he needed to do to put money into my account when all of a sudden there was a knock at my car window. The young man who had been standing behind me in line was standing there holding a bag. I was surprised and wondered what was going on.
