A marathon is a long running race of 42,195 kilometers, Runners must not only be fast, but they must be strong enough to keep their speed up over a very long distance.

When Assefa was younger, she started by running short races, Then she ran the 800-meter race. Her best time in the 800 meters was about 1 minute and 59 seconds. Last March, she ran her first marathon. Then last September, she entered the Berlin Marathon. She won, and set a new women’s record for the course, finishing in 2 hours15 minutes and 37 seconds.

Besides, the shoes Assefa wore are built in such a special way that they collect energy every time the runner lands and give a special spring as the runner’s foot leaves the ground again.

In October, Medflies (地中海果蝇) were discovered in an area of Los Angeles. California is a big farming state, and this was serious news for farmers. The solution to the problem may seem a little unusual; releasing (释放) millions more of the Medflies. Medflies lay their eggs in over 300 kinds of fruits and vegetables. When the eggs hatch (孵化), they can ruin these fruits and vegetables. The problem is that it can be hard to know that the Medflies are there until it’s too late. That’s because the fruits and vegetables still look normal even after the eggs are laid inside. So the damaged fruits and vegetables can be sent to other places allowing the Medflies to spread.
Three Medflies were discovered in a Los Angeles neighborhood called Leimert Park in October. The government set up a large quarantine (隔离) area, which means that no produce can be moved out of that area. That may seen extreme, since only three Medflies were found. but experts believe there are probably more out there.
Luckily, California has developed a program to control Medflies, and it has been working well for 30 years, The plan is to use planes to drop millions of male Medflies over the area. That may sound like a bad idea, but it’s actually a good way to make sure that Medfly numbers go down. Those Medflies are treated so that they can’t help produce new Medflies. This means that even though they can mate with female Medflies, the eggs produced will never grow or hatch.
The government says that the number of infestations (times when Medflies are found) has been cut by over 90%. To deal with the problem in Leimert Park, the government will be dropping two airplane loads of such Medflies every week.
7. What can we learn about Medflies from the second paragraph
A. They are difficult to identify. B. They spread quickly worldwide.
C. They benefit the growth of fruits. D. They lay 300 kinds of eggs each time.
8. Why did the government set up a large quarantine area
A. To make Medflies lay more eggs. B. To stop Medflies from spreading.
C. To provide large space for Medflies. D. To further study the habits of Medflies.
9. What is the government’s attitude toward the program
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Satisfied. D. Indifferent.
10. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Fight Medflies with ... Medflies B. Medflies Threaten Farmers Worldwide
C. The Number of Medflies Is Under Control D. A New Discovery Has Been Made About Medflies
【答案】7. A 8. B 9. C 10. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了了应对地中海果蝇破坏水果蔬菜问题的解决方案：释放出数百万只地中海果蝇。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“The problem is that it can be hard to know that the Medflies are there until it’s too late. That’s because the fruits and vegetables still look normal even after the eggs are laid inside.(问题是，很难知道地中海果蝇在那里，直到为时已晚。这是因为水果和蔬菜即使在里面下蛋后看起来仍然正常。)”可知，地中海果蝇难以被识别。故选A项。

To deal with the problem in Leimert Park, the government will be dropping two airplane loads of such Medflies every week.(政府表示，侵扰的次数（果蝇被发现的次数）已经减少了90%以上。为了处理莱默特公园的问题，政府将每周投放两架这样的飞机。)”可知，该方案运行了30年，且起到了作用，由此可推知，政府对此方案是满意的。故选C项。

In October, Medflies (地中海果蝇) were discovered in an area of Los Angeles. California is a big farming state, and this was serious news for farmers. The solution to the problem may seem a little unusual; releasing (释放) millions more of the Medflies. Medflies lay their eggs in over 300 kinds of fruits and vegetables. When the eggs hatch (孵化), they can ruin these fruits and vegetables. The problem is that it can be hard to know that the Medflies are there until it’s too late. That’s because the fruits and vegetables still look normal even after the eggs are laid inside. So the damaged fruits and vegetables can be sent to other places allowing the Medflies to spread.
Three Medflies were discovered in a Los Angeles neighborhood called Leimert Park in October. The government set up a large quarantine (隔离) area, which means that no produce can be moved out of that area. That may seen extreme, since only three Medflies were found. but experts believe there are probably more out there.
Luckily, California has developed a program to control Medflies, and it has been working well for 30 years, The plan is to use planes to drop millions of male Medflies over the area. That may sound like a bad idea, but it’s actually a good way to make sure that Medfly numbers go down. Those Medflies are treated so that they can’t help produce new Medflies. This means that even though they can mate with female Medflies, the eggs produced will never grow or hatch.
The government says that the number of infestations (times when Medflies are found) has been cut by over 90%. To deal with the problem in Leimert Park, the government will be dropping two airplane loads of such Medflies every week.
7. What can we learn about Medflies from the second paragraph
A They are difficult to identify. B. They spread quickly worldwide.
C. They benefit the growth of fruits. D. They lay 300 kinds of eggs each time.
8. Why did the government set up a large quarantine area
A. To make Medflies lay more eggs. B. To stop Medflies from spreading.
C. To provide large space for Medflies. D. To further study the habits of Medflies.
9. What is the government’s attitude toward the program
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Satisfied. D. Indifferent.
10. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Fight Medflies with ... Medflies B. Medflies Threaten Farmers Worldwide
C. The Number of Medflies Is Under Control D. A New Discovery Has Been Made About Medflies
