B.Shocked.‎ C.Puzzled. D.Delighted.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Upon hearing the story,Judy’s son,Chris,took off his hat and said,‘That was me!’ He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.”可知,克里斯听到TunDe的故事后感到“震惊”。故选B项。‎ ‎3.How did the Wright family help TunDe after Judy’s death?‎ A.They paid for her education.‎ B.They helped care for her family.‎ C.They bought her a surprise present.‎ D.They helped her realize her dream.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Judy died on July 9,2017.Instead of flowers,her family asked mourners (悼念者)to donate to TunDe’s education,to assist her in paying for her nursing school.In less than a week,they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.”可知,朱迪死后,莱特家族通过教育捐款的方式帮助TunDe实现了梦想。故选D项。‎ ‎4.What does the whole story mainly tell us?‎ A.Kindness comes full circle.‎ B.Constant dropping wears stone.‎ C.The truth never fears investigation.‎ D.Actions speak louder than words.‎ 答案A 解析主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Upon hearing the story,Judy’s son,Chris,took off his hat and said,‘That was me!’ He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.”第四段第一句“During the care of Judy,the Wright family learned about TunDe’s family and her own dream.”和最后一段“Judy died on July 9,2017.Instead of flowers,her family asked mourners (悼念者)to donate to TunDe’s education,to assist her in paying for her nursing school.In less than a week,they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.”可知,整个故事主要告诉我们“善有善报”。故选A项。‎ B Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks,or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song,Lake Baikal.But over the past decade,the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.‎ Each March since 2005,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile (41.84-kilometer)journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore.In ‎ March,the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard.Runners cross this frozen surface,finishing on the western side of the lake.‎ Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”,Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters.This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的).“Seen from above,a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.” The New York Times noted.‎ The landscape might be beautiful,but it’s also harsh.Strong winds blast (侵袭)across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour.Runners say the cold climate is what draws them.They want to test their limits.‎ ‎“When you are in such an environment,you don’t have cars around you,and you don’t have the noise around.I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature.” Alicja Barahona,a 64-year-old runner from the US,told ABC news.‎ The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon.The finishing line is visible from the start,but the endless white offers no progress markers.The race also ends with little fanfare (隆重的欢迎).Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies (自拍)and just ignore the runners.‎ For some runners,the absence of spectators makes the race more challenging,because it’s lonely.They must fight with themselves.“You are alone on Baikal.It is your race.You are alone with yourself.All you need to do is defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina,a French runner,told the Telegraph.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文,世界上最孤独的马拉松是在贝加尔湖上。自2005年以来,每年3月,来自世界各地的约150人报名参加贝加尔湖冰马拉松。他们来这里探索湖泊惊人的美丽,并在不可预知的条件下挑战自己。跑步者说寒冷的气候吸引了他们。他们想测试自己的极限。‎ ‎5.What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article?‎ A.It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.‎ B.It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.‎ C.It attracts more and more participants each year.‎ D.It is about 26 kilometers in length.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知来参加马拉松的人们是来这里探索湖泊惊人的美丽,并在不可预知的条件下挑战自己。故选B项。‎ ‎6.How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?‎ A.Only men are allowed to run in this race.‎ B.The runners are often distracted by tourists.‎ C.There are many progress markers on the ice.‎ D.The runners can see the finishing line from the start.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第六段第二句可知贝加尔湖冰马拉松与其他马拉松的不同之处在于赛跑者从起跑线上就能看到终点。故选D项。‎ ‎7.What is the most challenging part of the race for Messina?‎ A.The cold climate. B.The long distance.‎ C.Noisy surroundings. D.Loneliness.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知Messina认为这是一个人的比赛。要和自己独处,所要做的就是打败自己。即他认为孤独是最具有挑战性的部分,故选D项。‎ ‎8.How many advantages and disadvantages are listed about the loneliness?‎ A.5. B.4.‎ C.3. D.2.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句可知这种极限比赛允许人和自然相处;第六段最后一句可知拥挤在冰上的游客大多沉迷于自拍,对跑步者视而不见;以及最后一段第一句可知对一些跑步者来说,没有观众让比赛更具挑战性,因为它是孤独的。综上可知,孤独的原因有三点。故选C项。‎
