Two-Man Ironman
On Sept.17, 2022, Jeff and his son, Johnny, set out to begin the first of three legs of the Ironman
competition,where competitors must complete a 140 miles of swimming, bicycling and running in under 17 hours.
Not that long ago, Johnny could barely walk a few steps because he was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). But his
dream of being a runner never stopped.
From the day Johnny was born, Jeff refused to let his son’s disability hold him back. Determined to show
Johnny that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete, Jeff helped him engage in running. They began waking
up at 4 a.m. so Jeff could run while pushing his son in a special wheelchair called a racing chair. Every morning,
they drove themselves to run increasingly longer distances. Soon, they were entering 5K races, then on to Ironman
competition. Jeff would act as Johnny’s arms and legs, carrying the weight of his son throughout the race.
The race began with a 2.4-mile swim. Settling Johnny into a kayak, Jeff eased himself into the water.
Swimming while dragging another person was very tough. But worst of all, Jeff had to struggle with jellyfish. “I
occupied my mind by counting the number of times I got stung (蜇),” he says.
After the two men completed the tough bike section in roughly nine hours, they set their sights on the final leg
of the race — a 26.2-mile marathon. They’d been competing for 10.5 hours, leaving another 6.5 hours to make their
time.But at Mile 19, Johnny saw the clock ticking down and worried they wouldn’t make the cutoff. Despite the
tiredness, Jeff was convinced they were going all right and then picked up the pace.
第3页/共10页
With minutes left and 200 feet to the finish line, Jeff stopped to help Johnny out of his racing chair and handed
him his rolling walker. After years of painstaking work, Johnny was determined to finish his races on his own. After
16 hours, 55 minutes and 35seconds,the father and son crossed the finish line together.
As the crowd cheered on an overwhelmed Johnny, a weary Jeff kept a low profle. “My father didn’t want his
finish line moment,” says Johnny, tears in eyes. “He wanted it to be mine.”
34. Why did Jeff lead Johnny to running
A. To get closer to Johnny. B. To fulfill Johnny’s dream.
C. To discover Johnny’s interest. D. To speed up Johnny’s recovery.
35. What challenged Jeff most in the swimming race
A. Lack of energy. B. Pain from injuries.
C. Mental tiredness. D. Body weight change.
36. Which of the following can best describe Johnny according to the passage
A. Strong-willed and grateful. B. Warm-hearted and sensitive.
C. Patient and generous. D. Tough and humorous.
37. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Fathers are not born; they are made.
C. The value of a loving father has no price. D. Success comes from failures along the journey.
C
Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment,
and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave-and mighty (强大的) force
will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and
failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had
plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on
the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about
the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas-even physical
strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college
classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player.
“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal
line,” said Tim, “ I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子
弹) — and stopped him cold.”
Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be got overnight. But it can be
taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and
disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and
fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities — and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever
dreamed.

Learning to Run
An article published in the scientific journal Nature discusses an important aspect of human evolution (进化).
According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans have a number of features that
make them surprisingly good runners. “We are confident that running was important in the origin of the human
body form,” says Bramble.
Traditional thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However, this
is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as
quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But when it comes to long-distance
running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at
least at the same level with that of horses.
Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal
ligament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side
to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the
backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and
help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run
more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to
assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make.
But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners One theory is that this ability may have
permitted early humans to get food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after
animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another
advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have
been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of
the kill, the better.
“Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial,” says Lieberman.
“At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to
run and why we are built the way we are.”

42. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us that ________.
A. humans are poor runners compared to horses
B. humans are good runners over long distances
C. humans may run at high speed for a short time
D. humans can keep the same speed when running
43. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. tendons are a successful adaptation for running
B. strong muscles and bones keep running effective
C. the shape of shoulders affects the position of heads
D. humans can run faster if they have longer forearms
44. What conclusion is drawn about early humans
A. They followed birds to avoid danger.
B. They were unable to kill large animals.
C. They developed their big brains for running.
D. They evolved running due to the need for hunting.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
In a fast-paced world, where stress and mental tiredness seem commonplace, we’re constantly looking for new
ways to unwind. People may carry out a variety of activities to help them relax. But what about the birdsongs or
other nature sounds Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life
According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the
mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to places rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering
birds singing to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it’s not just birds
that could have a curative effect on our moods. Another study conducted by the National Trust compared the effects
of woodland sounds with voiced meditation (冥想) apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other
woodland sounds like leaves crunching underfoot or the gentle flow of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30%
more than the apps do. Other sounds which may help to cool people down are waves lapping on the shore, gentle
wind, and light rainfall.
However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to
see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you According to
research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a profound effect
on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes of the coast and forests with similar
outcomes to their wellbeing.
So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature during a stroll through a wood
or via some headphones. And maybe listening to the chirps, trills, warbles and whistles of some birds could help
you to relax after a long, hard day.
