The annual marathon in my town usually occured during a heat wave .My job was to
36 behind the runners in an ambulance 37 any of them ended medical attention. The driver and I were in an air - conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes
38 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.
"We're supposed to stay behind the 39 runner, so take it slowly, "I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to creep forward.
" Let's 40 hope all the runners are fast ! "he laughed.
As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to 41 . It was then that my
42 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T - shirt.
"Koug, look !"
We knew we were already watching our "last runner". Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and 43 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.
Doug and I watched in 44 as she slowly moved forward. We didn't say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to 45 some distance. Then we'd slowly move forward a little bit more.
Finally, she was the 46 runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even reverence（敬意）as she
47 forward with sheer determination through the last miles.
When the 48 line came into sight, trash（垃圾）lay everywhere and the 49 crowds had long gone home. 50 , standing straight and ever so proud waited a man. He was 51 one end of a ribbon of crepe paper tied to a post. 52 slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her.
I do not 53 this woman's name, but that day she became a part of my life - a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about 54 the other runners or winning a trophy（奖品）, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter 55 . When I think things are too difficult or too time - consuming, I get those "I - just - can't - do - it", I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly"qualifies required.
This is true even in politics, "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, " says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
60．The word "liability" most probably means ________.
A. disadvantage B. advantage C. misfortune D. trouble
61．Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness________
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. affects men and women alike
62．It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often________.
A. practical B. supportive C. old - fashioned D. one - sided
63．The author writes this passage to ________.
A. give advice to job - seekers who are attractive
B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C. demand equal rights for women
D. state the importance of appearance
C
Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that ff countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athlets, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.
One country received its second - place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side's victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: "This wasn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished. "The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals , or in non national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.
64．According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.
A. brought about goodwill between the nations
B. made only false national pride
C. hardly showed any international friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
65．What did the manager mean by saying, "... Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished" ________.
A. His team would no longer take part in international games
B. Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decisions
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society
D. The society should be dismissed
66．The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show________.
A. how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international games
B. that sport men have been more troublesome than they used to be
C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship
D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games.
67．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage ________.
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game
D. International contests lead to misunderstanding between nations.

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history! of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to cary lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality （个性）.
Brady was also the first preson to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography... Photographers could buy films readymade in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures" snapshot".
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 10th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
72．The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the invention of cameras
B. a kind of new art - photography
C. the development of photography
D. the important dates in the history of photography

Are you afraid of sharks You shouldn’t be! Below we clear up the main misconceptions about one of the world’s most perfectly formed creatures...
All sharks are the same
This is absolutely not true. There are nearly four hundred species of sharks and they vary widely in habitat, size, features, diet and lifestyle. They range from the cigar shark, which is about 15 centimetres long, to the whale shark, which can be up to about nine metres long. More than 50 percent of sharks are less than a metre long and more than 90 percent are less than two metres long. And their habitat ranges from shallow to deep water and from the Arctic to the Tropics.
There are too many sharks in the sea
This is not true, either. In fact, many shark populations are decreasing. The chief reason for this is that hundreds of thousands of them are caught in fishing nets. Depending on where they are caught, they are either killed for their fins (鱼翅), which are used in shark’s fin soup, or they are tossed (扔) back into the sea because they are unwanted. Almost all sharks which are discarded in this way die. Also, sharks mature late in life and produce very few young. If the current reduction in numbers continues, the ecological balance of the oceans will be severely threatened.
_______________________
This is nonsense. The chances of being attacked by a shark are minimal. You are 250 times more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark, and your chances of being killed by lightning are practically zero.
However, if you are planning to take a swim in shark territory (领域), then follow these simple rules:
Avoid swimming at dawn or dusk when visibility decreases.
Avoid areas where there are breaking waves. Turbulent (凶猛的) water makes it difficult for sharks to see and determine whether you are prey.
Do not wear jewellery in the water. Sharks are attracted to shiny fishes, and jewellery may resemble their scales (鱼鳞).
Do not swim near schools of small fish, which are the favourite food of some sharks.
1. What’s the purpose of the author to write this passage (Please answer within 10 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________
2. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
___________________________________________________________________________
3. Why does the number of sharks decrease (Please answer within 15 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________
4. Give a title for the following part. (Please answer within 10 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________
5. Wear your necklace and rings while taking a swim in shark territory. Decide whether it’s a good way or not and give your reason as well within 15 words.

The annual marathon in my town usually occured during a heat wave .My job was to
36 behind the runners in an ambulance 37 any of them ended medical attention. The driver and I were in an air - conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes
38 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.
"We're supposed to stay behind the 39 runner, so take it slowly, "I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to creep forward.
" Let's 40 hope all the runners are fast ! "he laughed.
As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to 41 . It was then that my
42 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T - shirt.
"Koug, look !"
We knew we were already watching our "last runner". Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and 43 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.
Doug and I watched in 44 as she slowly moved forward. We didn't say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to 45 some distance. Then we'd slowly move forward a little bit more.
Finally, she was the 46 runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even reverence（敬意）as she
47 forward with sheer determination through the last miles.
When the 48 line came into sight, trash（垃圾）lay everywhere and the 49 crowds had long gone home. 50 , standing straight and ever so proud waited a man. He was 51 one end of a ribbon of crepe paper tied to a post. 52 slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her.
I do not 53 this woman's name, but that day she became a part of my life - a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about 54 the other runners or winning a trophy（奖品）, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter 55 . When I think things are too difficult or too time - consuming, I get those "I - just - can't - do - it", I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly"qualifies required.
This is true even in politics, "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, " says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
60．The word "liability" most probably means ________.
A. disadvantage B. advantage C. misfortune D. trouble
61．Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness________
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. affects men and women alike
62．It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often________.
A. practical B. supportive C. old - fashioned D. one - sided
63．The author writes this passage to ________.
A. give advice to job - seekers who are attractive
B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C. demand equal rights for women
D. state the importance of appearance

Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that ff countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athlets, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.
One country received its second - place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side's victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: "This wasn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished. "The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals , or in non national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.
64．According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.
A. brought about goodwill between the nations
B. made only false national pride
C. hardly showed any international friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
65．What did the manager mean by saying, "... Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished" ________.
A. His team would no longer take part in international games
B. Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decisions
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society
D. The society should be dismissed
66．The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show________.
A. how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international games
B. that sport men have been more troublesome than they used to be
C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship
D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games.
67．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage ________.
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game
D. International contests lead to misunderstanding between nations.

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history! of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to cary lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality （个性）.
Brady was also the first preson to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography... Photographers could buy films readymade in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures" snapshot".
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 10th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
72．The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the invention of cameras

Are you afraid of sharks You shouldn’t be! Below we clear up the main misconceptions about one of the world’s most perfectly formed creatures...
All sharks are the same
This is absolutely not true. There are nearly four hundred species of sharks and they vary widely in habitat, size, features, diet and lifestyle. They range from the cigar shark, which is about 15 centimetres long, to the whale shark, which can be up to about nine metres long. More than 50 percent of sharks are less than a metre long and more than 90 percent are less than two metres long. And their habitat ranges from shallow to deep water and from the Arctic to the Tropics.
There are too many sharks in the sea
This is not true, either. In fact, many shark populations are decreasing. The chief reason for this is that hundreds of thousands of them are caught in fishing nets. Depending on where they are caught, they are either killed for their fins (鱼翅), which are used in shark’s fin soup, or they are tossed (扔) back into the sea because they are unwanted. Almost all sharks which are discarded in this way die. Also, sharks mature late in life and produce very few young. If the current reduction in numbers continues, the ecological balance of the oceans will be severely threatened.
_______________________
This is nonsense. The chances of being attacked by a shark are minimal. You are 250 times more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark, and your chances of being killed by lightning are practically zero.
However, if you are planning to take a swim in shark territory (领域), then follow these simple rules:
Avoid swimming at dawn or dusk when visibility decreases.
Avoid areas where there are breaking waves. Turbulent (凶猛的) water makes it difficult for sharks to see and determine whether you are prey.
Do not wear jewellery in the water. Sharks are attracted to shiny fishes, and jewellery may resemble their scales (鱼鳞).
Do not swim near schools of small fish, which are the favourite food of some sharks.
1. What’s the purpose of the author to write this passage (Please answer within 10 words.)

2. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
