Long,a tider ail his life,entered the race after being inspired by All the Wild Horses,movie based on the exhausting event. Fearing that he wouldn't be able to complete it,he set about preparing his mind and body for this"hardest,toughest,most demanding thing you can do ona horse".an 1,000-kilometerace that wasdtheworld's longest horse by The Guinness Book of Records in 2011.He confirmed his belief that preparation can surpass(超过；胜过)youth,as some of the other riders were less prepared. Although Long had Been riding horses for many years,the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely on his own will.The race organizers had provided an extensive support network to keep an eye on the participants from afar.Despite that,the physical pressure of riding such a long distance made simple things like squatting (down at the end of the day almost impossible. Along the vast race course there were unpredictable circumstances beyond Long's control,however well prepared he'd been.Weather was one of them,which could switch from heavy rain to buring sun unexpectedly. Above all else,the biggest obstacle was the state of mind.Without a living soul 、 in sight,Long was desperate for interaction guidance,and comfort.This feeling of loneliness accounted for his hope that one of his fellow competitors would catch up. Regardless of the hardship,Long felt a sort of spiritual adventure while traveling through the wilderness.He was provided with some memorable moments while connecting with nature.He also grew to love the country and the communities along the route.

D A typical lion tamer (in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip ()at a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it's mostly for show.In reality, it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man bolding the chair. How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight,starta business,travel more)-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress? This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress, .and stay the same when we could be improving. It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become...take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way. 12.Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A.To trick the lion. B.To show off his skills. C.To get ready for a fight. D.To entertain the audience. 13.In what sese re people similer to a lion facing a chair? A.They have to dothing for show.B.They hold on to the wrong things. C.They find it hard to make changes.D.They feel pzed over choices 14.What is the author'stide owds the exper mentioned in Paragraph 3? A.Tolerant B.Doubtful. C.Respectful. D.Supportive. 15.When the world is"waving a chair in your face",you're advised to A.wait for a better chance B.break your old habits C.make a quick decision D.ask for clear guidance 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分125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。 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented.16 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. 1.Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious.17 Ask kids,"What ingredients (can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?"and then try them out.Did those ingredients make the pancakes better?What could we try next time? 2.Creativity True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it.18 There are a dozen different things you can do with them.
