【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从马拉松比赛的最后一名参赛者身上获得启发的故事。
1.C 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.”可知,她的腿又跛又弯,似乎连路都走不了。由此可推知,她的腿有“残疾”;cripple意为“使残废;使成为瘸子”,与C项同义。故选C项。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I knew we were already watching our ‘last runner’. Her feet turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.”以及第四段“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 she didn’t give up and crossed the line.”可知,这个女人腿有残疾,甚至赛场上只剩下她一个人,她也没有放弃,而是坚定地走完了最后几英里。由此可推知,她是一个意志坚定且十分可敬的人。故选D项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“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 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.”可知,对于这个女人来说,参加比赛不是为了打败其他选手或赢得奖品,而是要坚持到底,完成已经开始要做的事。作者正是从她身上学到了这种精神。故选D项。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者从马拉松比赛的最后一名参赛者身上获得启发的故事。由此可推知,A项“The last runner”最能概括全文。故选A项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肯尼亚的顶级跑步选手中有50%是卡伦津人,这是肯尼亚的一个少数民族,他们只占肯尼亚人口的不到2%。这一事实一直困扰着体育科学家。于是一组丹麦科学家花了18个月的时间发现,卡伦津人即使在长跑时心率也非常慢。根据丹麦的这项研究,一些科学家得出结论,卡伦津人拥有一种被称为“速度基因”的基因,但卡伦津人不接受这种说法。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast ”可知,科学家们对卡伦津人的奔跑能力很感兴趣。故选B项。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances.”以及“The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have lower body mass indexes—a measure of body fat based on weight and height, and longer ‘birdlike’ legs than Danish people.”可知,卡伦津人在身体上有很多优势。故选A项。
7.C 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They owed their success to hard work and endless hours of training.”可推知,肯尼亚的运动员对这个结论感到不快,由此可推知,他们不接受这个结论。故选C项。
8.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“…Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5,000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners.”可推知,作者提到Farah的故事是要证明努力会得到好结果。故选C项。Period Three Developing ideas

A [2024·江西省宜春市高一期末]
The annual marathon 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 turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone 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 I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself expecting her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped 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 she didn’t give up and crossed the line.
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 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.

A.Don’t depend on others when facing difficulties.
B.Nothing is too hard to accomplish if one is brave enough.
C.Those who have difficulty walking can also run a marathon.
D.It’s not winning but holding on to the end that really matters.
( )4.What could be the best title for the text

B [2024·湖南省长沙市长郡中学高一期末]
Fifty percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast
A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation (高海拔) villages in western Kenya. People living there produce more red blood cells, which support the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at a low elevation. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have lower body mass indexes—a measure of body fat based on weight and height, and longer “birdlike” legs than Danish people.
As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They owed their success to hard work and endless hours of training.
Although the controversy (争议) over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’t meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sports, Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5,000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners.
Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast and never give up.
( )5.What interested the sports scientists
A.The Kenyan sports history.
B.The Kalenjins’ running ability.
C.The Kalenjins’ training methods.
D.The Kenyans’ enthusiasm for sports.
( )6.According to Danish scientists, what leads to Kalenjins’ success
A.The physical condition.
B.The living style.
C.The hard training.
D.The strong will.
( )7.What do we know about the Danish research result
A.Danish people believe that it is the truth.
B.Mo Farah finds the result astonishing.
C.Kenyan runners think it is unacceptable.
D.The world has attached great importance to it.
( )8.Why is Mo Farah’s story mentioned in the text
A.To show running methods count.
B.To encourage British athletes.
C.To prove effort pays off.
D.To support the gene theory.(共55张PPT)

A[2024·江西省宜春市高一期末]
The annual marathon 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
turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so
crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let
alone 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 I watched her struggle to put one foot in front
of the other, I found myself expecting her and urging her forward.
I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped 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 she didn't give up and crossed the line.
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 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.

Fifty percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of
Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than
two percent of Kenya's population. This fact has puzzled sports
scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to
answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so
fast
A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and discovered
the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running

long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation (高海拔) villages
in western Kenya. People living there produce more red blood cells,
which support the transport of oxygen throughout the body.
Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red
blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-
altitude athletes to outperform those who train at a low elevation.
The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and
compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the
Kalenjins have lower body mass indexes—a measure of body fat
based on weight and height, and longer “birdlike” legs than
Danish people.

As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the
conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed
gene”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion.
They owed their success to hard work and endless hours of
training.
Although the controversy (争议) over the “speed gene”
remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah's experience offers an
interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he
wasn't meeting his potential as a runner.

A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he
observed the Kenyans' strict training routines and dedication to
their sports, Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder
than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah's running
career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the
5,000m and regularly beats Kenya's top runners.
Farah's story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Their
“secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast and never give up.
