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 realized 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＂. 21. A month before the marathon, the author ____________. A. was well trained B. felt scared C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope 22. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year? A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher. B. To amuse the readers with a funny story. C. To show he was not talented in sports. D. To share a precious memory. 23. How was the author’s first marathon? A. He made it. B. He quit halfway. C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end. 24. What does the story mainly tell us? A. A man owes his success to his family support. B. A winner is one with a great effort of will. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. One is never too old to learn. B Emily Temple-Wood was 12 years old the first time she was bullied （欺负）online.They left ugly comments on her Wikipedia and Facebook pages about her looks "that would make my mother's hair curl,"says Temple-Wood,now 22 and in medical school.The reason?“I was a woman on the Internet.”she said. Over the years,she considered how she might take revenge （ 复 仇）.Then,as a freshman in college,it hit her: "What do misogynists (men who hate women) hate most?"she asked herself.“Women who are productive!”Her solution: For every offensive comment she received,Temple-Wood would post a biography of a female scientist,and thus,in 2012,Wiki Project Women Scientists was born.She wrote about her heroes,like Barbara McClintock,who was awarded the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine,and Caroline Still Anderson,one of the first African American women to become a physician in the United States,in the lat 1800s.With help from other women,many of them scientists who have also been victimized online,Temple-Wood has published hundreds of these brief biographies and women of all ages have taken notice. “When I was a kid,I could count the number of women scientists I was aware of on one hand,”wrote Siko Bouterse,formerly of the Wikimedia Foundation.“But our daughters are going to have access to much more knowledge about scientists who are like them,thanks to Emily.” The ugly comments still come,says Temple-Wood.Being a strong woman online is not easy."We all have days where we break down and need to have a glass of wine,"she says.“I tell people who are being bullied that it's OK to be upset.But now you need to find a productive way to take revenge." 25How did Emily feel when she was first bullied online? A.Shocked. B.Disappointed C.Excited. D. Confident. 26.How did Emily react to the ugly comments about her? A.She paid no attention to them. B.She posted about great women. C.She became a talkative woman. D.She learned from women scientists. 27.What does Emily Temple-Wood advise people to do? A.Sit down and have a glass of wine. B.Try hard to be a productive person, C.Never feel upset about ugly comments. D.Fight ugly comments in a positive way. 28.Which of the following best describe Emily? A. Productive B.Hard-working C.Brave D.Narrow-minded. C Many of the habits we keep with us throughout our lives are learned in childhood. For parents, this means it’s important to encourage children to be physically active because physical activities help promote( 促 进 ) healthy growth and build strong bones. Then what should parents do? Even though children often have lots of energy, they are not patient enough. Children get the most benefit ( 益 处 ) from physical activities when adults help them discover the fun of them. Physical activities for children should change frequently enough so that children won’t find them boring. If taking children on a walk or bicycle ride, change the route to give the kids something to look forward to. Children learn many habits from their parents. If they see you enjoying exercise, they’ll learn to regard it as a healthy and fun part of the day. If, however, children see their parents spending their evenings and weekends in front of TV or sitting at a computer, they’ll learn to see this as normal and imitate their habits, even without knowing it. For many adults, spending too much time in a car rather than walking or bicycling leads to poor health. The same is true for children. Walking or cycling to school or friends’ houses is a good way for children to get exercise, have fun and learn independence. If you have concerns about children walking or biking alone, why not join them? As a parent, you don’t have to go it alone in helping kids stay active. Other parents can help to organize active play for children, while schools and community groups organize sports teams, sports clubs, dance classes and other physical activities. Raising healthy kids can be easier and more rewarding when it’s a team effort. 29. What are parents advised to do in Paragraph 2? A. Be patient enough. B. Make activities fun. C. Walk or ride a bicycle. D. Discover the fun of activities. 30. Why are TV and computers mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To show parents should set an example. B. To show parents are busy with their work. C. To show they can teach children many things. D. To show they play an important role in children’s lives. 31. What should parents do according to the last paragraph? A. Help schools organize some activities. B. Organize active play for other children. C. Encourage children to join sports clubs. D. Try to work well with others to raise healthy children. D Responsibility is a term that used to be important，but many people today seem to just pass the blame to someone else instead of standing up and facing the facts and taking responsibility for their actions. But we should remember we will suffer consequences(后果) when we refuse to accept responsibility for our own actions. A baby learns that by throwing his food on the floor repeatedly，he will soon not get to enjoy the rest of his food any longer because it will be put away. Throwing food on the floor may seem like a game at first，but after a while the child will know that it is not a good thing to do. He learns to keep his food or he will stay hungry for a while. Older children， as well ， need to be taught responsibility. If the parents or caregivers demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and communicate to their children its importance，chances are that the children will also be willing to take responsibility. Children imitate what they see and hear. Parents need to listen to their children carefully when they speak in order to know how and what they think or believe about different issues. They will be either praised or they will be corrected. Teaching a child about responsibility takes communication and responsibility. Children can only do what they have been taught. If the child is taught to put his shoes away in a particular place every time he takes them off，he soon knows that it is his responsibility to put them away where they belong. It is also important that the child should be reminded at first，but give him or her time to see if they will do it without being told or reminded. Everyone learns to be responsible ， but it is the actual doing that makes us responsible. Responsibility needs to be taught at a very young age，and a conscious effort is necessary for it to be effective. 32．According to the writer，responsibility ______. A. is a quality now better valued by many people　 B. is now not taken seriously by many people C. is the most important quality people should have D. can make sure of people's happiness　 33. From the second paragraph，we can learn that ______.　 A. parents should punish the children who are not responsible B. it will take children a long time to learn to be responsible C. learning to be responsible should begin at a very early age D. learning to be responsible seems to be a game to children 34. How can parents teach children responsibility? A. By setting strict family rules. B. By reminding them all the time. C. By stopping them making mistakes. D. By setting them a good example. 35. What attitude should parents have towards children's opinions? A. Be supportive all the time.　 B. Give enough respect and attention. C. Ignore them if they are wrong. 第二节　（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选 项中有两项为多余选项。 ___36____Most big name companies have websites offering information on their products and online stores allowing shoppers to purchase them in the comfort of their homes.
