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 didnt 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 couldnt 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(鞋帶) 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(世俗標簽), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".1.A month before the marathon, the author _.A.was well trainedB.felt scaredC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope2.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.3.How was the authors first marathon?A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.4.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.10、   On March 17 there will be an explosion of green color across the world in celebration of St Patricks Day. The Irish traditionally wear something colored green on this day as the color is connected withIreland. Another St Patricks Day tradition is for the non-Irish to make jokes about the Irish. Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity or their famous thirst for alcohol, or their reputation(名聲) for telling tall(untrue) stories. These characteristics are all part of the famous Irish stereotype (成見) that Irishmen are hot-tempered drinkers, who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a days work.   The real joke, however, is that this negative Irish stereotype still exists. The stereotype might have had some truth back in the 19th century when Irish was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine(饑荒), but there they had to compete, occasionally with their fists, for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was onAmericas streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting. However, it was far from truth today, with the exception of the drinking perhaps.   Today, the Irish are admired for their story telling gifts and musical talents. It is no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of todays most popular music groups such as singer Enya and rock band U2 are Irish born and growing. Lonely Planet readers even rankedIrelandas the friendliest country in the world.   However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is true, their love for drink. Drinking inIrelandis a job, but its not necessarily something to criticize. It was the Irish after all who created one of the worlds best-loved beers, Guinness.1.What is this reading passage mainly about?A.The Irish festival- St Patrick's Day.B.How the Irish earned their reputation.C.Jokes about the Irish people.D.Famous Irish stereotype and the truth.2.Which of the following statements does NOT belong to the Irish stereotype?A.Irishwomen are not hot-tempered drinkers.B.Most Irish people are always very lazy.C.Irishmen are good at street fighting.D.Irish people are famous for their stupidity.3.Where did the negative Irish stereotype come from?A.From their everyday behavior towards other people.B.From the behavior of Irish immigrants to the America in the 19th century.C.From the historical records of the 19th century Ireland.D.From most people's impression of the Irish people.4.Which of the following was created by the Irish?A.Tall stories.B.Street fighting winnersC.GuinnessD.Love for drink.七選五11、根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。    English is not easy to learnmost common verbs are irregular(不規(guī)則的) and it has a large vocabularyat least 200, 000 words._    However, verbs are less complicated(復(fù)雜的) than other languages and there is only one form to speak to someone directly “you”.    _There are different versions of English in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.    Most airlines and shipping companies use a simple form of English to make communication easier._Eighty per cent of the information on the Internet is in English.

He later informed me that I was "not athletic"可知,作者提到7年級的事情是為了證明自己真的沒有運動天賦。故選C。3. 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第10段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.可知,作者堅持到了最后,而且得到了一塊獎牌,雖然不是第一名,由此可見他成功地跑完了馬拉松。故選A。39. 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,作者在講述自己跑馬拉松的經(jīng)歷,再根據(jù)最后一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗標簽), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".可知,作者成功跑完馬拉松源于自己的意志。故選B。點睛:文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細節(jié)信息的支持,這些細節(jié)對于理解全文內(nèi)容至關(guān)重要,同時也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎(chǔ)。命題人往往會要求考生根據(jù)不同的要求閱讀文章,以獲得某些特定的信息,或準確地尋求所需的細節(jié),并對細節(jié)進行直接或間接辨認和理解。文章細節(jié)的理解可以細化為:(1)一一對應(yīng)型。(2)語言轉(zhuǎn)述型。(3)語意理解型。(4)是非辨別型。(5)事實排序型。此題中的前三題為細節(jié)理解題。細節(jié)理解題首先要根據(jù)題干準確定位信息句,其次要對信息句進行準確的理解和判斷,如第一題為轉(zhuǎn)述型,I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二題為語義理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well.可知,作者沒有運動天賦。而第三題則為轉(zhuǎn)述型,根據(jù)信息句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.可知,作者跑完了馬拉松,正好與made it 意義相同。 10答案及解析：答案：1.D; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C 11答案及解析：答案：A; G; D; B; F解析：1.A上文談及學(xué)習(xí)英語難,指出其困難之處,顯然此處是繼續(xù)說明學(xué)英語的難處。 2.G下文中指出英語在不同國家說法不同,顯然此處指英語很靈活多變。 3.D上一句指英語在航空領(lǐng)域的使用,下一句提到英語在網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息中的使用,顯然填入部分談及英語在技術(shù)和教育領(lǐng)域的使用,因此答案選D。 4.B上一句談及英語在歐洲的普及,填入部分是對此進行說明,因此答案選B。 5.F前一句為問句,后一句是回答,顯然填入句也應(yīng)為問句,由此不難確定答案為F。 12答案及解析：答案：whom/that; a; to avoid; diaries; her; that; on; entirely; rainy; had seen 9
