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 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, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.‎ 24. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.‎ A. was well trained B. felt scared C.made up his mind to run D.lost hope ‎25.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.‎ ‎26.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.‎ ‎27.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.‎ C Here’s a simple challenge: name a famous inventor. Perhaps Leonardo da Vinci springs to mind. Or the pioneer of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. But you might be hard-pressed to name many female inventors, even though women are behind some of the most widely used technologies in the modern world.‎ For example, where would we be without the windscreen wiper? Back on a freezing winter’s day in 1902, Mary Anderson was traveling by tram through New York city. Snow was falling, forcing the driver to stop repeatedly and get out to clear it. Each time the door opened, Mary suffered. She had a brainwave: why not make something that could be operated from inside the vehicle? And that’s exactly what she did.‎ Let’s step in from freezing New York for our next invention. The dishwasher dates back even earlier to the 19th Century, and to the dinner parties thrown by a lady called Josephine Cochrane. As a frequent host, she wanted a machine that could wash dishes faster than people. Her response was to develop what was to become the first commercially successful dishwasher.‎ Need something to do while the dishwasher is on? How about a round of Monopoly（强手棋游戏）? One of the most popular board games around, the rules were first drawn up by a lady called Elizabeth Magie, and patented in 1904.‎ To an altogether different kind of innovation: Kevlar is the lightweight fibre used in bulletproof（防弹）vests. The material is used by millions every day and has saved countless lives and its strength-lo-weight ratio is five times higher than steel.‎ Finally, one of the most important inventions of the 20th Century must surely be the computer programme. The world of programming is unbalanced among men and women, with men taking home around 30% more pay than their female partners on average. But back in the 1940s and 50s, women were at the forefront of this new field and Grace Hopper was one of them.‎ ‎28. What do we know about the inventions mentioned in the text?‎ A. They were mostly made in the 20th century.‎ B. They all used high technology.‎ C. Their inventors came from families of good education.‎ D. They were all made by accident.‎ ‎29. Why did Mary Anderson invent windscreen wiper?‎ A. The winter was extremely cold there.‎ B. She was forced to clear the snow by others.‎ C. The car she drove made her suffer a great deal.‎ D. She was sick of the driver getting out to clear the window.‎ ‎30. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the text?‎ A. Josephine Cochrane wanted a machine that operated automatically.‎ B. Kevlar is the super tough fibre and stronger than steel.‎ C. The game invented by Magie was popular merely among teenagers.‎ D. Grace Hopper was good at computer programming.‎ ‎31. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. Women can be Great Inventors B. The Most Useful Inventions by Women C. The Most Widely Used Technologies D. Women Made Greater Contributions than Men D We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. ‎ What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.‎ Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”‎ In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, “says Dunn.” But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”‎ Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners.” he says.‎ ‎32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?‎ A. Addiction to smartphones.‎ B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.‎ C. Absence of communication between strangers.‎ D. Impatience with slow service.‎ ‎33. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?‎ A. Showing good manners. ‎ B. Relating to other people.‎ C. Focusing on a topic. ‎ D. Making business deals.‎ ‎34. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?‎ A. It improves family relationships. ‎ B. It raises people’s confidence.‎ C. It matters as much as a formal talk. ‎ D. It makes people feel good.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Conversation Counts ‎ B. Ways of Making Small Talk C. Benefits of Small Talk ‎ D. Uncomfortable Silence 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。‎ Every relationship has survived on apologies. ___36___However, don’t say sorry for things that have happened if they’re not your fault. In fact, there are a lot of things that you should never apologize for. For example, don’t say sorry for:‎ ‎●Being yourself. Everybody has unique traits in them. Not everybody has the same taste in music or would like to go bungee-jumping. ___37___ You don’t need to apologize for that.‎ ‎●Your past. Your past might contain some mistakes which you aren’t proud of. ___38___Feeling sorry will only stop you from moving on. You gained some experience and won’t make that mistake again. This shouldn’t be one of the things you need to apologize for.‎ ‎●Being honest. ___39___Honesty is important in every relationship. You are or were being honest to somebody because you care about them. Suppose your friend doesn’t look good in a particular dress, feel free to be honest with him. If he calls you a mean person or whatever, that means he was not ready to hear the truth.‎ ‎●Taking your time. Let’s all agree that we need some time alone to figure out our life. Or many people prefer to be alone after a long day just to think of times they are thankful for on that day. ___40___‎ A. Do what you like.‎ B. Don’t feel bad about not lying.‎ C. After all, we are humans and we make mistakes.‎ D. Always don’t say sorry for what makes you happy.‎ E. You have your personal opinions, beliefs, thoughts, hobbies, etc.‎ F. Sometimes, we really need to relax and listen to our own thoughts.‎ G. You need to let them go, because it’s your life and that was your decision.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I walked into a bank in town a couple of days ago and waited in the queue.

As is known to us, air pollution and heavy urban traffic are becoming increasingly severe mainly due to the overuse of cars. Therefore, it's high time we chose another better means of transport, that is, cycling.         There are many good reasons to ride bicycles. First of all, compared to cars, bicycles are much cheaper to buy and maintain, and you don't have all the added costs of fuel, and parking. What's more, bicycles are more environmentally friendly than cars, because they hardly make noises and exhaust. Cycling has become a new trend around the world, a ‎ good way of energy saving and low-carbon life. Last but not least, cycling is an excellent way to keep fit and live longer. By riding bicycles, you can cut down your risk of heart attacks, high blood pressure and other illnesses. So I think, riding bicycles actually has great effects on us. Let's ride bicycles from today on!        Thank you for listening!‎
