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 Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.‎ ‎  Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.‎ Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.‎ Don’t forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the ‎ time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.‎ Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass. ‎ ‎25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.‎ A. their home comforts B. house buying C. healthy diets  D. their body shape ‎26. A home environment in blue can help people_________.‎ A. digest food better B. burn more calories C. reduce food intake D. regain their appetites ‎27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?‎ A. Use smaller spoons.‎ B. Eat quickly.‎ C. Play fast music.‎ D. Turn down the lights. ‎ ‎28. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Ways of Serving Dinner B. Is Your House Making You Fat?‎ C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?‎ C Grandparents who sometimes help out with childcare or provide support for others in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people, according to a study from Berlin, Germany. ‎ The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70 in the Berlin Aging ‎ Study. The participants(参与者) completed interviews and medical tests every two years between 1990 and 2009. ‎ The researchers did not include any grandparents who were the main caregivers for their grandchildren, only those who cared for grandchildren from time to time. The study team compared this group with seniors who provided support for non-family members, such as friends or neighbors, and seniors who did not provide any care for other people. ‎ Overall, after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, compared with those who did not provide any childcare. Half of the grandparents who cared for grandchildren were still alive ten years after the original interview. The same was true for participants who did not have grandchildren but supported their adult children in some way, such as helping with housework. In contrast, about half of the participants who did not help others died within five years of the start of the study. ‎ ‎“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because caregivers may feel useful for others and for society,” said Bruno Arpino, an associate professor at Pompeu Fabra University in Barelona, Spain who was not involved in the study. ‎ ‎“Caregiving may be thought also as activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active,” Professor Arpino said, adding that previous studies suggest that caregiving may improve cognitive(认知的) functioning, mental and physical health. ‎ Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health, and too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering. ‎ ‎“Children should take into consideration their parents’ needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare,” Arpino suggested.‎ ‎29. What can we know from the text?‎ A. Helping others sometimes is beneficial to seniors. ‎ B. Full-time caregivers were included in the study. ‎ C. All participants in the study were in good health. ‎ D. Caregiving can reduce the risk of death by half. ‎ ‎30. Bruno Arpino believes that caregiving can give seniors _______.‎ A. a sense of duty B. a sense of honor ‎ C. a sense of self-worth D. a sense of belonging ‎ ‎31. What does the underlined phrase “take away from” in para7 probably mean? A. cut down. B. break up C. make up for D. take the place of ‎ ‎32. What advice did Bruno Arpino give?‎ A. The amount of childcare should depend on grandparents’ health. ‎ B. Seniors should take part in all kinds of outdoor activities. ‎ C. Grandparents should do their best to take care of grandchildren. ‎ D. Children should be considerate towards their parents in childcare.‎ D Self-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.‎ While Mcity can be used to simulate many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution, US car manufacturer Ford, with researchers from Virginia Tech, firstly considered using text as a way to communicate the car’s intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean. Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.‎ Then came the big challenge—testing the signals on real road, “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if you’ve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless car.”‎ The team designed a car seat costume that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield, which flashed one of the three ‎ signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.‎ The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ A. Symbols.                      B. Drivers.   ‎ C. Researchers.                   D. Flashes.‎ ‎34. The car seat costume was intended to_______.‎ A. amuse the driver                B. attract the pedestrian C. warn the cyclists                D. confuse the people ‎35. What does a rapidly flashing light mean?‎ A. The car was coming to a stop.‎ B. There was no driver in the car.‎ C. The car was about to speed up.‎ D. The car was about to slow down.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分.请按照题号答题）‎ 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。‎ Four Ways to Ease Back Pain Nearly everyone suffers from some type of back pain at some point in their lives.
