(2018·北京卷)
My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon,one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet,I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s,I realised running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3,I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!”
By mile 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21,I was starving!
As I approached mile 23,I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself,move forward,free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

Figure Skating
Skating has been around for centuries,but figure skating wasn’t popularized until the mid-19th century when Jackson Haines shocked European crowds with his nice movements and exciting jumps.He also made another key breakthrough(突破):he set his movements to music.This so-called “international style” of skating spread to Vienna and other European cities and gave rise to the kind of figure skating we’ll be watching in the Olympics.
Snowboarding
Although snowboards may have been around in some form since the 19th century,they didn’t become an actual commercial(商业的) product until the 1960s.In 1965,Sherman Poppen,a Michigan dad,tied two skis together to make a snowboard-like ride for his daughter.The device(装置),which he called “the Snurfer,” sold nearly a million units over the next 10 years.By the end of the 1970s,many others had made some improvements to the design,which helped the sport become popular during the ‘80s and ‘90s.
Short Track Speed Skating
Traditional speed skating involves(涉及) pairs of timed skaters making their way around an oval track.However,in North America,it was common for indoor races with shorter tracks to feature mass starts where all the racers took off at once.The mass starts and the tracks that had been shortened to accommodate indoor arenas(竞技场) led to exciting races,and in 1967 the International Skating Union began to recognise the event.
Ski Jumping
Ski jumping owes a big debt to the Norwegian army.In 1809,Olaf Rye was fooling around on some skis in front of his fellow soldiers and managed to jump 30 feet into the air.The exciting new sport quickly spread throughout Norway.In 1862,the first organised competition took place in Trysil,Norway,and in 1879,the first annual competition of the wildly popular Husebyrennet jumping competition took Oslo by storm.
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了四项体育运动。花样滑冰、滑板滑雪、短道速滑和跳台滑雪。
1.What was one of Jackson’s key contributions to figure skating?
A.Tying two skis together.
B.Jumping 30 feet into the air.
C.Getting the sport into the Olympics.
D.Matching his movements to music.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He also made another key breakthrough:he set his movements to music.”可知,他的一个重大突破是把设计的动作和音乐相配,所以选D项。
2.Which sport brought its inventor huge profit?
A.Figure Skating.
B.Snowboarding.
C.Short Track Speed Skating.
D.Ski Jumping.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The device,which he called ‘the Snurfer,’ sold nearly a million units over the next 10 years.”可知,他称之为“冲雪板”的这款设备,在未来10年里售出了近100万套。由此推测,该运动给发明者带来了巨大的利润。
3.What does the underlined word “accommodate” most probably mean?
A.Be fit for B.Get away from
C.Result in D.Bring about
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据上文可知,在北美,室内赛道较短,比赛通常采用运动员一起起跑的方式,因此缩短赛道是为了适应室内场地。be fit for“适合”与该词意思相符。

Team building games can be fun for teenagers.They can also be tools for strengthening the group.There are many levels of team building exercises.Let’s look at some activities that can help you build a stronger team.
Pass the Clap
Pass the Clap works well as a beginning activity to help your group get to know each other.Have the participants stand in a circle.One person starts the clap and then turns to face the person next to him.As they are about to make eye contact,they clap together.The next person now has the clap and he has to pass it on.Continue to pass the clap around the circle.
Blindfolded Birthday
Blindfolded Birthday works well after people have become a little more familiar with each other.Everyone puts on a blindfold.Then,without talking,they have to line up in order of birthdays.
Two Truths and a Lie
Two Truths and a Lie can be played anytime in the group’s operations.Have the participants sit in a circle.Each person is supposed to tell two truths and a lie about themselves.The group has to guess which is the lie.
Human Knot
Human Knot is an activity best played after your group has gotten quite familiar with each other,because there can be a lot of touching going on.Everyone gathers in a circle.They put their right hands in the middle of the circle.They grab someone else’s hand.Then the left hands go in the middle and they grab someone else’s hand.The group is now knotted up.The object of Human Knot is to untie the group without letting go of any hands.

Sometimes love is more powerful than doctors,and my dad proved that.
Many years ago,my dad,an artist,suffered from heart disease.He was unable to work for a long time.He would be fine for a while,but would then fall suddenly ill and have to be admitted to the hospital.However,he still wanted to do something to keep himself busy,so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids.It was the perfect job for him.He ended up working with the seriously ill children.He would talk,play,and do arts with them.?
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed(瘫痪) her from the neck down.She couldn’t walk.She couldn’t do anything.She was very sad.My dad decided to try to help her.He started visiting her in her room,bringing paints,brushes and paper.He stood the paper up,put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint pictures.He didn’t use his hands at all.All the while he would tell her,“See,with more practice,you can work wonders,too.”?
At the end of the day,she began to paint using her mouth,and she and my dad became friends.Soon after,the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do to save her.My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill.
注意:

Paragraph 1:
Three years later,my dad had completely recovered and decided to do volunteering again.One day he returned to that local children’s hospital and went to the room where the sick girl used to stay.Of course,the girl wasn’t there.He felt sad,thinking he would never see her again.Suddenly,the door opened and in walked a girl.It was the girl he had missed so much!She walked straight over to my dad and hugged him tightly.She gave him a picture she had painted with her hands.?
Paragraph 2:
In the next hour,the girl told my dad how she became healthy again.She said she never thought she could walk one day.It was my dad’s love and encouragement that helped her work wonders.She learned to face her difficulty bravely and kept on practicing walking and painting every day.“Without your love and help,I could never walk again,” said the girl thankfully.Now,you see,love can be really more powerful than doctors at times.

(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)
“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,I’ll do it.”?
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organises the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense,I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?
25.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?
A.She knows little about the club.
B.She isn’t good at sports.
C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.
26.What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Encourage teamwork.
B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds.
D.Provide advice.
27.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A.She gets interested in lacrosse.
B.She is proud of her kids.
C.She’ll work for another season.
D.She becomes a good helper.
28.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A.It gives her a sense of duty.
B.It makes her very happy.
C.It enables her to work hard.
D.It brings her material rewards.

Bob was born in Cambridge.When he was in elementary school,he asked his mother to take him to parks in their community so he could collect empty soda cans to recycle.His mother agreed,as long as he saved part of the money he earned for college.
Bob’s mother remembers Bob as the most determined of her seven kids.Bob’s hard work paid off.On Friday,he will become the first person in his family,originally from El Salvador,to graduate from college.And he’s graduating with university honours.
For his honours thesis(毕业论文) he researched unmanned solar-powered(太阳能) airplanes,which BYU students have been building and testing for about 10 years.Bob’s study helps discover the best way to fly a solar-powered airplane so that it uses the least amount of power.The goal is to design and build an airplane that flies uncertainly.Bob’s thesis helps lay the basis for this work.
“My parents were always hard-working,” Bob said.“They often tell us hard work leads to success.” Bob’s father taught him to read at the age of 3,and his mother is now a student at Utah Valley University on the way to becoming a dentist.
Bob recognised he overcame some obstacles(障碍)to get where he is.For starters,English is his second language.He also faced stereotypes(模式化的形象).Although Bob never doubted that he would be a college graduate,other people believed he wouldn’t because he didn’t come from a family of high income.There were other obstacles as well,but Bob viewed them all as opportunities.
Bob’s mother says she feels very happy and proud that her son is about to graduate with honours,and remembers the effort he’s made to get there.“He has worked very hard.He started something,and now he has finished it,” Cathy says.“I have always told him,‘If this is your dream,then you can get it!Keep working hard and you can get it!’”
29.What do we know about Bob’s honours thesis?
A.It makes his mother feel surprised.
B.It helps to save the power of flying a solar-powered airplane.
C.It is done with BYU students.
D.It doubts the way of flying a solar-powered airplane.
30.What did Bob do according to the passage?
A.He researched unmanned solar-powered airplanes for 10 years.
B.He paid for all his study by collecting empty soda cans.
C.He worked hard and has graduated from college.
D.He was affected by his family and has made some achievements.
31.Why did people think Bob couldn’t graduate from college?
A.His parents had little money to support him.
B.His teacher didn’t think he could graduate.
C.He didn’t work hard on his study.
D.He didn’t dare to face the obstacles for short of confidence.
32.What can be inferred from the text?
A.Bob’s mother is on the way to becoming a dentist.
B.Bob’s mother works in their community.
C.Bon’s father will graduate from Utah Valley University on Friday.
D.Bob’s father learnt to read at the age of 3.

Google’s new camera,called Clips,is a small,smart device.It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子),but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing.Most interestingly,it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera,with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness,is intended for candid moments,like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device,it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes.Those algorithms include face recognition.“Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently,it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne,the device’s product manager.And they also want it to recognise facial expressions,which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”.The Google team also trained it to recognise what not to shoot —like when a child’s hand is over the lens,or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone,as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange?Yes,Payne admitted.But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is.A green light on the front signals that it is on.Besides,unlike a camera meant to monitor your home,it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced.” Payne said,noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device of this size.Going forward,we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
33.What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A.It is equipped with tough glass.
B.It enables the easy Internet access.
C.It allows of hands-free photography.
D.It can be worn on your clothing.
34.What does the underlined word “candid” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Short. B.Touching.
C.Unforgettable. D.Embarrassing.
35.What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A.The popularity of the Internet.
B.The advance in technology.
C.The rise of the smartphone industry.
D.The reduction in the price of lens.
36.What is the best title for the text?
A.A New Digital Camera from Google
B.New Gadgets in the Age of Apps
C.Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life
D.An Alternative Way to Photography

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Playing endless games of hide and seek with your toddler can get tiring very quickly.And sometimes parents need a break from pretending not to know the very obvious spot where their child is hiding.Well,you no longer have to feel guilty about letting your kids sit down in front of the television for an hour or two,because it’s been proven,that in certain circumstances,screen time for your kids can actually be beneficial.
The key thing to remember is that unsupervised and too much screen time isn’t good for your kids,but some situations let you relax and will keep your kids interested.One example is video chatting with family.The American Academy of Pediatrics reported that maintaining strong relationships with your family members that live far away is an important part of development.Being able to visually see their face and chat with them at the same time is good for your kids,even if it’s on a screen.So let your little one sit on the couch,Facetime in grandma and grandpa,and you can go and catch up on other things around the house.
Another way to include screen time in a beneficial way is to watch TV together.Turn on an educational kids’ show and sit next to your toddler to answer any questions that they might have.The AAP says that a few hours of television a week is fine as long as you make it a family activity and encourage your kids to ask questions about the show.One show in particular that can be extremely beneficial to watch together is Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on PBS.Researchers at Texas Tech University reported that kids who watched 10 episodes over a two-week period had higher levels of confidence,and they were able to recognise emotions better.
So don’t feel guilty for letting your kids sit inside for a little;all parents need a break.
