We reached an 18 .‎ ‎ That summer at training camp, Lyle was having a hard time. He had that look in his eyes that both young and old players get when things aren't going 19 . One morning Lyle came into my office. Here was a huge man, with his head about as 20 as it could go. We talked, or rather, I 21 .

The race takes more than five days to complete. It attracts world-class athletes-the kind who become spokespeople for sneakers and sports drinks.‎ ‎ In 1983, however, as the competitors lined up to race, they were joined by a 61-year-old farmer wearing overalls and work boots. His name was Cliff Young. The other runners mistook him for a spectator（观众）. He explained that on his family's sheep farm, he often had to round up 2,000 or so animals by himself. "Sometimes I had to run after those sheep for two or three days. I believe I can run this race." he said.‎ ‎ When the race began, the younger runners flew past Cliff. Instead of running after them, Cliff shuffled (拖着脚走）along in an unusual way. The other runners and the spectators thought he would never finish the race. But something happened. When all the other runners took a break to sleep, Cliff kept running. The other runners caught up to him each morning, but finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed. On the fifth day, he left all of the young, world-class athletes behind. He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record.‎ ‎ Cliff received＄10, 000 for winning the race. He said he did not realize there would be prize money, and he gave the funds to his fellow runners. Doing this made him a hero in Australia. Since then, many runners have used his shuffling stride. No one sleeps during the race anymore, either. The farmer changed long-distance racing and proved that age and style aren't everything.‎ ‎( ) 34. What helped Cliff Young win the race?‎ ‎ A. Staying awake for five days. B. Running faster than the others.‎ ‎ C. Studying new ways of running. D. Wearing unusual running clothes.‎ ‎( ) 35. Why did the other runners think that Young was a spectator?‎ ‎ A. They saw him on the sidelines. B. He was not a spokesperson for sneakers.‎ ‎ C. They knew he was a farmer. D. He was not dressed like a runner.‎ ‎( ) 36. According to the passage, what made Young a hero in Australia?‎ ‎ A. He managed to set a world record.‎ ‎ B. He proved that dressing doesn't matter.‎ C. He gave his prize money to other runners.‎ D. He received an award of＄10,000.‎ ‎( ) 37. How did Young change long-distance running?‎ A. He raised the age limit for runners. B. He introduced a new way of running.‎ C. He raise the award for the race. D. He encouraged other farmers to enter.‎ C ‎ A material is what something is made of. There are 5 basic materials. Most things are made ‎ with these materials. Some things are made of metal. Some things are made of glass. Some things are made of wood. Some things are made of cloth. And some things are made of plastic. There are some other materials. But they are not used as much as these 5 materials.‎ ‎ Let's talk about metal first. Metal is very heavy. And it is very hard and strong. It usually feels cool if you touch it. We use metal to make lots of things. We use it for forks and knives. We use it for keys. We use it for cars. We use it for these things because it is very strong.‎ ‎ Next, let's talk about glass. Glass is very smooth. It feels cool to touch. It is not as heavy as metal. It is hard. But it is not strong. It breaks very easily! Then why do we use it? We use it because it is clear! You can see through glass! That's why we use it for windows. That's also why we use it for glasses.‎ ‎ Now, let's talk about wood. Wood is lighter than metal and glass. It is not as strong as metal. But it is much stronger than glass. We use wood to make lots of things. Things made of wood are usually light and hard and strong. Chairs and tables are made of wood. Pencils are made of wood.‎ ‎ Now let's talk about cloth. Cloth is very light. It is much lighter than wood. And it is very soft. We use cloth to make lots of things. For example, it is used to make clothing. And it is used to make blankets.‎ ‎ Last, let's talk about plastic. Plastic is also very light. But it is different from cloth. Sometimes it is soft. And sometimes it is hard. Plastic can be used to make thin plastic bags. These are light, soft, and strong. But plastic can also be used to make bicycle helmets. These are light, hard, and strong. A helmet and a bag seem different. But they are both made from plastic.‎ ‎( ) 38. Which sentence from the passage best describes the main idea?‎ ‎ A. "We use cloth to make lots of things.”‎ ‎ B. "Metal is very heavy."‎ ‎ C. "There are 5 basic materials."‎ ‎ D. "A helmet and a bag seem different."‎ ‎( ) 39. In Paragraph 4, the passage says, "Wood is lighter than metal and glass." What is the ‎ main purpose of this sentence?‎ A. To explain something. B. To recommend something.‎ C. To compare something. D. To demonstrate something.‎ ‎( ) 40. Which material would you use if you wanted to make something that was strong and ‎ very light?‎ ‎ A. Plastic. B. Wood. C. Metal. D. Glass.‎ ‎( ) 41. In this passage, the author talks about ______________. ‎ A. hard things first, then soft things B. heavy things first, then light things C. strong things first, then weak things D. cool things first, then warm things D ‎ Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we improve our memory?‎ ‎ Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this ‎ undoubtedly helps short-term memory（remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists（心理学家）doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers（祈祷文）that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.‎ ‎ According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.‎ ‎ Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!‎ ‎ However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: "Do people get it from water?", "What parts of the body does it influence?" and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent "passively" reading and re-reading notes.‎ ‎( ) 42. Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage?‎ A. It helps short-term memory for sure.‎ B. It makes remembering things interesting.‎ C. It helps to remember things for long.‎ D. It makes remembering prayers effortless.‎ ‎( ) 43. The underlined word "chunks" in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____________”. ‎ A. details B. turns C. groups D. lines ‎( ) 44. What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Creating a picture is useful in learning Maths.‎ B. Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.‎ C. Remembering long numbers is easy for people.‎ ‎ D. Asking yourself questions activates the memory.‎ ‎( ) 45. What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?‎ ‎ A. To complain that his memory is bad.‎ ‎ B. To recognize some memory problems.‎ ‎ C. To explain some memory experiments.‎ ‎ D. To share some ways of improving memory.‎ 四、词汇运用（共10 'l、题; 每小题1分, 计10分）‎ ‎ 根据句子意思, ‎ 用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上, 写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）‎ ‎46.

Then, they were almost the only way to drive the heat away. The Chinese character for the word "fan" has the same sound as the character for “kindness". Thus, fans are viewed as good luck, charms and expressions of generosity.‎ ‎ The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials. Palm（棕桐）leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner's high position. Sandalwood(檀香）fans could send out a sweet smell.‎ ‎ Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool people down. They developed into works of art, in which tuanshan-round fans and zheshan-folded fans were the most common.‎ ‎ In the shape of a full moon, the round fans symbolize union and happiness. They had beautiful embroidery(M绣）featuring birds and flowers on them, representing wealth and longevity. Women, especially those in the imperial palace（皇宫）, liked to use them. Such fans were very popular in the Han Dynasty(202 BC-AD 204).‎ ‎ Folding fans were first produced in the Song Dynasty (960一1279) and became popular in the Ming Dynasty(1368一1644). They have a history of symbolizing scholarship. Men, especially the literati（文人）, used zheshan because they were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their skills in literature, painting and calligraphy（书法）. Many things were painted on zheshan, but the most popular choice was usually landscapes.‎ ‎ Today, Chinese people still use these fans, though not many people write or. paint on them any more.‎ Art of Chinese Fans ‎____56‎ Chinese people created hand fans over 2,000 years ago.‎ The birth of the round fan was much 57 than that of the folding type.‎ uses First, they were simply used to 58 people down.‎ Over the years, they developed into symbols of 59 works of art.‎ Types Palm leaf fans, feather fans and sandalwood fans are made from 60 materials.‎ Later, the fans came in different shapes, with round fans and folded fans as the most common.‎ Symbolism The 61 of round fans is like a full moon, meaning union and happiness.‎ The patterns of birds and flowers on them 62 wealth and longevity.‎ Such fans were especially popular with women in the Han Dynasty.‎ Folding fans were popular among 63 , especially the 11teratl, as a way to show off their taste in works of art.‎ Zheshan sometimes were decorated on both sides with paintings, poems or calligraphy.‎ ‎__64 were most commonly painted on them Importance The Chinese character for "fan" 65 the same as the character for "kindness" and carries that meaning.‎ ‎ 56. ___________ 57. ____________ 58. ___________ 59. ___________ 60. _________‎ ‎ 61. ___________ 62. ___________ 63. ___________ 64. __________ 65.________‎ 六、缺词填空（共10空; 每空1分, 计10分）‎ 根据短文内容和首字母提示, 在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上, 完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）‎ A magical evening The audience（观众）is seated and waiting.
