The 61-year-old potato farmer Cliff Young won the 1983 Westfield Sydney-Melbourne Ultramarathon, which took runners days to finish, in Australia.
When Cliff showed up in the race, he stuck out like a sore thumb in his everyday clothes different from the other professional runners’, quickly attracting the attention of reporters present.
“I grew up on a farm where we couldn’t afford horses. Whenever the storms would roll in, I’d have to go out and round up the sheep,” Cliff told reporters. “Sometimes I’d have to run those sheep for two or three days, but I’d always catch them. I believe I can run this race.” No one actually believed him. Most competitors were in their 20s and early 30s, with years of training and marathon experience.
On the first day of the race, Cliff was left far behind. But he had one advantage that no one had expected. He didn’t plan on stopping until he reached the finish line while all the others had been training to run for 18 hours a day and then stop and sleep for the other six.
When dawn broke, the other runners were shocked to learn that the old farmer was in the lead and that they would have to catch up with him. Although running slowly, he was the first to cross the finish line and received $10,000 as a prize. But he kept none of the prize and donated it to the homeless.
Cliff continued to run. In 1997, he set out to raise funds for homeless kids by running all 16, 000 kilometers of the Australian coastline. In 2000, Cliff achieved a world age record in a six-day race in Victoria. Cliff Young died at 81, but his legend lives on.

C. He sped up in the last two days. D. He continuously ran without sleep.
7.What keeps Cliff Young’s legend on
A. Imagination and generosity. B. Dream and devotion.
C. Determination and kindness. D. Willingness and wisdom.
Meat, milk, cheese — just some of the things provided by goats. But now we can also add fire safety to this list. As wildfires damage increasingly large areas of the planet each year, goatherds (牧羊人) may offer a way of reducing the risk.
Wildfires are made possible by hot, dry weather conditions as well as a supply of dead plants that serve as fuel. We may have limited control over the former factor, but we can control the latter. Reducing the fuel load lowers the possibility of wildfires occurring, as well as the amount of damage caused. This is where we can turn to goats to search for a solution, which are being used for landscape management in a number of places around the world, including Greece, Spain, Portugal, Chile and a number of parts of the United States.
Goats have an extremely powerful digestive (消化的) system. Many kinds of plants that are dangerous to other animals can be easily eaten by goats. It’s not just fully-grown plants that goats are able to deal with: any seeds that pass through a goat can’t survive and will not grow. Human clearance teams have to worry about getting to the hard-to-reach places where plants grow but goats don’t. They are skilled mountain climbers and when standing on their hind legs, they can reach up to two metres to the plants that humans would struggle to reach. Because of this, using goats can reduce both the possibility of workplace accidents and the amount of money spent on fire protection measures. Goatherds have been found to clear some parts of land for a third of the price of human control teams.
Cost and safety aren’t the only benefits. Goats are quieter than grass-cutting machines and people usually prefer to see goats eating grass rather than litres of herbicide (除草剂). Children are often attracted to see the goats at work and this provides an opportunity to educate people about preventing wildfires.
8.Why can goats help to prevent wildfires
A. They are not afraid of bad weather.
B. They are easily controlled by goatherds.
C. They have the strongest digestive system.
D. They can remove dead plants causing fire.
9.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The fire protection measures that people often take.
B. The reasons why goats are used to prevent wildfires.
C. The difficulty human clearance teams have preventing fire.
D. The effects goats have on the natural balance of mountains.
10.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Herbicide will not be used to remove grass soon.
B. Children like goats because of their quiet character.
C. It’s a green way to prevent wildfires by using goats.
D. Herbicide works better than grass-cutting machines.
11.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Firefighting Goats. B. Clever Goatherds.
C. Damage Caused by Wildfires. D. Ways to Prevent Disasters.
Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement, and there is no cure. Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (结合) slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may be an effective means of reducing the suffering. Recently, the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t. Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson’s.
The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved.
Prof. Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study”—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive — but said there were limitations in its design, and more tests were needed.
“We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients,” he said.
12.Why was the study conducted
A. To find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
B. To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson’s patients.
C. To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies.
D. To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson’s.
13.Which of the following is not the researchers’ finding
A. Concentration problem was lower in the Tai Chi group.
B. The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group.
C. Patients in the non-Tai Chi group continuously fell down.
D. Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the Tai Chi group.
14.What can we learn from Prof. Alastair Noyce’s words
A. Tai Chi should be given more preference.
B. Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance.
C. It is unnecessary to do more related studies.
D. Improve the long-term management of patients is impossible.
15.What is Prof. Alastair Noyce’s attitude towards the study
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Worried.
二、七选五

Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in”.
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me”.

解析:①考查可数名词的单复数。句意:中国最著名的传统酒之一是白酒,它是由大米和小麦等谷物制成的。本题考查“one of+the+形容词的最高级+可数名词的复数”,该结构意为“最……的之一”。故填wines。
②考查非谓语动词。句意:另一种受欢迎的中国酒是黄酒,也被称为黄酒。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语动词作状语。该动词和其逻辑主语之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。故填known。
③考查形容词的比较级。句意:黄酒是一种发酵的米酒,与白酒相比口感柔和。根据空后的“compared to Baijiu”可知,此处指和白酒相比,黄酒口感更柔和。所以空处需要形容词的比较级。故填softer。
④考查副词。句意:它通常用于烹饪,是中国传统菜肴中的一种流行食材。空处需要副词修饰后面的动词used。故填commonly。
⑤考查介词。句意:黄酒也是一种饮料,在中国不同地区有不同的品种和口味。根据语境可知,此处表示黄酒也被作为一种饮品供人们享受。as为介词“作为”,符合语境。故填as。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:在中国文化中,酒通常与敬酒联系在一起,这是中国酒文化中重要的姿态,有助于营造温暖和谐的氛围。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词toasting。先行词指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
⑦考查形容词。句意:在中国文化中,酒通常与敬酒联系在一起,这是中国酒文化中重要的姿态,有助于营造温暖和谐的氛围。分析句子结构可知,空处需要形容词作定语,修饰后面的名词。harmony为名词,其形容词形式为harmonious“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
⑧考查时态语态。句意:某些类型的酒被认为对健康有益,并被用于医疗目的。分析句子结构可知,空处为句子的谓语动词。本句话描述一般事实,用一般现在时态。该动词和主语之间为被动关系。所以用一般现在时态的被动语态。主语为复数。故填are believed。
⑨考查时态。句意:近年来,进口的酒,尤其是红酒在中国人中越来越受欢迎。分析句子结构可知,空处为句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语“In recent years”可知,本句话为现在完成时态,主语为复数。故填have gained。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意:酒的欣赏和品酒活动越来越普遍,为当地人和外国人提供了学习和体验不同葡萄酒文化的机会。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语动词作结果状语。根据语境可知,此处指意料之中的结果,所以用现在分词作状语。故填providing。

34.答案:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be ” “she wondered,” “Was she still angry with me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
