The annual marathon (马拉松) in my town occurred as scheduled My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves. the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I 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 bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, not to mention run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we' d slowly move forward a little bit more. As l watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn't.
Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘动) behind her.
I don't know 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 beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or l 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.
4. What words can best describe the woman
A. Strong-willed and honorable.
B. Proud and determined.
C. Sensitive and brave.
D. hard-working and caring.
5. What does the underlined word "crippled" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Perfect.
B. Healthy.
C. Disabled.
D. Strong.
6. What has the author learnt from the woman
A. Don't depend on others when facing difficulties.
B. It's not winning but holding on straight to the end that really matters.
C. Nothing is too hard to accomplish if one is brave enough.
D. The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty.
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. A Humorous Stranger.
B. The Last Runner.
C. An Unforgettable Job.
D. The Annual Marathon.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B

With the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users’ reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you’re buying online, these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them
Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews — only the good ones.”
So, how can you get a useful review Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different user names, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”
Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers (购物礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all online companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that he feels is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down.”
So, next time you see that five-star review for something you want to buy, be aware — it could be the work of a false reviewer!
8. What does “them” in Para.1 refer to
A. Products. B. Users. C. Reviews. D. Buyers.
9. What does Barnaby Bicken’s story imply
A. The food served was awful. B. Not all reviews are believable.
C. Many people are easily cheated. D. He likes to write bad reviews.
10. What reviews of products are useful
A. Those by competitors. B. Those by different users.
C. Those with good comments. D. Those with related information.
11. How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews
A. It helps to finish the reviews. B. It pays attention to the bad reviews.
C It offers gifts for the good reviews. D. It tries to make the reviews objective.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
D
When you think of a typical American, who do you picture A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift or a handsome black American like basketball star Michael Jordan In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people.
Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, the ancestors of these people are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “American Indians” or simply “Indians”.
When the European settlement of North America began, there was intense conflict between settlers from overseas and these native people. In 1830, former US president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians.
While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, their legacy is still felt every day in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, Topeka, Kansas and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are many successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended (是…的后裔) from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US.
Although what happened cannot be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past.
12. Why does the writer mention Taylor Swift and Michael Jordan
A. To challenge readers’ ideas of a typical American.
B. To support the writer’s point on American identity.
C. To provide typical examples of native Americans.
D. To compare their appearances with typical Americans.
13. How were the American Indians treated in the middle of the 19th century
A. They were granted US citizenship.
B. They were regarded as a military “enemy”.
C. They were required to live along the Mississippi River.
D. They were asked to leave the country by the US government.
14. Which of the following aspects shows the American Indian legacy today
A. Origins of names of some places.
B. Popularity of the Indian language.
C. Success of the Academic and other important US leaders.
D. More and more history classes in American public schools.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the history of American Indians
A. It should be ignored to move on. B. It holds little interest for him.
C. It’s hurtful to be reminded of it. D. It’s valuable to reflect on it.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up the first day of school was always exciting — new clothes, supplies, and classes. But at twenty-three, the first day of school had me in a panic. I was the new teacher.
I had just celebrated my birthday, the new year, and my divorce. Unloved and unneeded, the rejection of a failed marriage still hurt. I had graduated in December, and a school more than sixty miles from my apartment had hired me to teach a class of twenty-two fifth graders.
As the principal Mrs. Bright walked me to my classroom, I asked, “What happened to the last teacher ” She answered, “She left just a week after the school year started. There have been thirteen replacement teachers since then. You are the fourteenth one, Sylvia.”
As I entered the classroom, I said with a sweet smile, “I’m your teacher for the rest of the year.” The kids were excited to meet me, but they quickly became restless. Some sat wherever they wanted, while others talked or passed notes. One girl called Tracy crawled under her desk, and a boy named Kyle began crying for no reason. The rest of the day was chaotic-fights broke out, and some kids refused to talk to me. As the final bell rang, I collapsed into my chair, exhausted.
Later, during my conference period, Mrs. Bright told me, “Tracy can’t read and doesn’t pay attention. Just leave her alone, and make up a grade.” I was shocked. “What about Kyle ” I asked. “He’ll be fine. He is just lonely. His mom is a single mother working around the clock.”
Through our exchange, I came to understand that most of these kids had been kicked out of other schools. No one came to their rescue. They were the ones no one else wanted. These kids, like me, were used to rejection. The pain of my own divorce made me realize how much they deserved better.
注意 ：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I decided to do something for these rejected kids.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Gradually, the students realized that I cared for them.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Para 1:
I decided to do something for these rejected kids. I started by learning about each one. For Tracy, I found books that matched her interests, hoping to spark her curiosity. For Kyle, I spoke to him softly after class, offered him a listening ear, and showed him that he mattered. Abandoned too many times already, these children deserved better. “I won’t give up on you. You all matter.” I told them, trying to make everyone in the class feel loved and needed. Slowly, I built routines, clarified my expectations, and became firm in my stance: chaos would not be tolerated, but support would always be given. Instead of a dull space to learn, my classroom could become a place that provided them with safety and a sense of belonging.
Para 2:
Gradually, the students realized that I cared for them. With distrust giving way to trust, they began to open up to me, and with that trust came small yet meaningful changes. Tracy began to show a growing interest in class and Kyle’s tears became less frequent. Fights lessened and the flying notes were now replaced by questions about schoolwork. They weren’t just learning academically but emotionally, understanding how to become part of a community. A wave of relief washed over me as I knew I had made a difference — not just for them, but for myself as well. With the pain of my own failed marriage slowly healing, I felt no longer rejected and I was also needed. We came to each other’s rescue.

The annual marathon (马拉松) in my town occurred as scheduled My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves. the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I 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 bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, not to mention run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we' d slowly move forward a little bit more. As l watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn't.
Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘动) behind her.
I don't know 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 beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or l 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.
4. What words can best describe the woman
A. Strong-willed and honorable.
B. Proud and determined.
C. Sensitive and brave.
D. hard-working and caring.
5. What does the underlined word "crippled" in paragraph 2 mean
A. Perfect.
B. Healthy.
C. Disabled.
D. Strong.
6. What has the author learnt from the woman
A. Don't depend on others when facing difficulties.
B. It's not winning but holding on straight to the end that really matters.
C. Nothing is too hard to accomplish if one is brave enough.
D. The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty.
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. A Humorous Stranger.
B. The Last Runner.

With the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users’ reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you’re buying online, these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them
Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews — only the good ones.”
So, how can you get a useful review Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different user names, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”
Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers (购物礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all online companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that he feels is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down.”
So, next time you see that five-star review for something you want to buy, be aware — it could be the work of a false reviewer!
8. What does “them” in Para.1 refer to
A. Products. B. Users. C. Reviews. D. Buyers.
9. What does Barnaby Bicken’s story imply
A. The food served was awful. B. Not all reviews are believable.
C. Many people are easily cheated. D. He likes to write bad reviews.
10. What reviews of products are useful
A. Those by competitors. B. Those by different users.
C. Those with good comments. D. Those with related information.
11. How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews
A. It helps to finish the reviews. B. It pays attention to the bad reviews.
C It offers gifts for the good reviews. D. It tries to make the reviews objective.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
D
When you think of a typical American, who do you picture A pretty blond white American like Taylor Swift or a handsome black American like basketball star Michael Jordan In fact, there was a time when the average American looked like neither of these people.
Back in the year 1500, the average American was a brown-skinned hunter-gatherer who probably rode a horse and wore clothing made from animal skins. Today, the ancestors of these people are broadly referred to as “Native Americans”, “American Indians” or simply “Indians”.
When the European settlement of North America began, there was intense conflict between settlers from overseas and these native people. In 1830, former US president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act required all Indians to migrate to west of the Mississippi River to allow for the expansion of the US. American Indians were treated as a military “enemy” until 1924, when the few Indians still alive at that point were granted US citizenship. That was the first time that the US government formally recognized the rights of Indians.
While the story of the American Indians has been a sad one, their legacy is still felt every day in the US. Many US geographical names come from Indian languages, such as Ohio, Topeka, Kansas and the Potomac River. At the same time, there are many successful academics and other important US leaders who are descended (是…的后裔) from Indians. And nowadays, more and more history classes in US public schools are educating students about how Indians suffered during the settlement of the US.
Although what happened cannot be undone, we can learn at least one thing from the sad history of the Indians: If we want a better future, we must look carefully and honestly at the past.
12. Why does the writer mention Taylor Swift and Michael Jordan
A. To challenge readers’ ideas of a typical American.
B. To support the writer’s point on American identity.
C. To provide typical examples of native Americans.
D. To compare their appearances with typical Americans.
13. How were the American Indians treated in the middle of the 19th century
A. They were granted US citizenship.
B. They were regarded as a military “enemy”.
C. They were required to live along the Mississippi River.
D. They were asked to leave the country by the US government.
14. Which of the following aspects shows the American Indian legacy today
A. Origins of names of some places.
B. Popularity of the Indian language.
C. Success of the Academic and other important US leaders.
D. More and more history classes in American public schools.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the history of American Indians
A. It should be ignored to move on. B. It holds little interest for him.
C. It’s hurtful to be reminded of it. D. It’s valuable to reflect on it.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up the first day of school was always exciting — new clothes, supplies, and classes. But at twenty-three, the first day of school had me in a panic. I was the new teacher.
I had just celebrated my birthday, the new year, and my divorce. Unloved and unneeded, the rejection of a failed marriage still hurt. I had graduated in December, and a school more than sixty miles from my apartment had hired me to teach a class of twenty-two fifth graders.
As the principal Mrs. Bright walked me to my classroom, I asked, “What happened to the last teacher ” She answered, “She left just a week after the school year started. There have been thirteen replacement teachers since then. You are the fourteenth one, Sylvia.”
As I entered the classroom, I said with a sweet smile, “I’m your teacher for the rest of the year.” The kids were excited to meet me, but they quickly became restless. Some sat wherever they wanted, while others talked or passed notes. One girl called Tracy crawled under her desk, and a boy named Kyle began crying for no reason. The rest of the day was chaotic-fights broke out, and some kids refused to talk to me. As the final bell rang, I collapsed into my chair, exhausted.
Later, during my conference period, Mrs. Bright told me, “Tracy can’t read and doesn’t pay attention. Just leave her alone, and make up a grade.” I was shocked. “What about Kyle ” I asked. “He’ll be fine. He is just lonely. His mom is a single mother working around the clock.”
Through our exchange, I came to understand that most of these kids had been kicked out of other schools. No one came to their rescue. They were the ones no one else wanted. These kids, like me, were used to rejection. The pain of my own divorce made me realize how much they deserved better.
注意 ：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I decided to do something for these rejected kids.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Gradually, the students realized that I cared for them.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Para 1:
I decided to do something for these rejected kids. I started by learning about each one. For Tracy, I found books that matched her interests, hoping to spark her curiosity. For Kyle, I spoke to him softly after class, offered him a listening ear, and showed him that he mattered. Abandoned too many times already, these children deserved better. “I won’t give up on you. You all matter.” I told them, trying to make everyone in the class feel loved and needed. Slowly, I built routines, clarified my expectations, and became firm in my stance: chaos would not be tolerated, but support would always be given. Instead of a dull space to learn, my classroom could become a place that provided them with safety and a sense of belonging.
Para 2:
Gradually, the students realized that I cared for them. With distrust giving way to trust, they began to open up to me, and with that trust came small yet meaningful changes. Tracy began to show a growing interest in class and Kyle’s tears became less frequent. Fights lessened and the flying notes were now replaced by questions about schoolwork. They weren’t just learning academically but emotionally, understanding how to become part of a community. A wave of relief washed over me as I knew I had made a difference — not just for them, but for myself as well. With the pain of my own failed marriage slowly healing, I felt no longer rejected and I was also needed. We came to each other’s rescue.
