Unit 2 Strong mind 单元话题阅读理解15篇 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 This year the marathon(马拉松) in my hometown took place in the hottest month. My job was to follow behind the runners to see if any of them needed medical care(医疗服务). “We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly.” I said to the driver, Bob. “Let’s hope that the last runner is fast!” He laughed. Soon the front runners started to disappear(消失), and I saw a woman in a white T-shirt. “Bob, look!?” We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. She was different from the others because of her age. “I think she is over 60, too old for any sports match. How can she finish a marathon?” Bob said. We watched quietly as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little, then stop and wait for her. Then we would move a little bit more. As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other, I found my heart beating for her. I wanted her to stop, but at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t. Soon she was the only runner that we could see. Tears(眼泪) ran down my face. She was so great! For her, it wasn’t about beating(击败) the other runners or winning something: it was about finishing what she had decided(决定) to do. Later in my life, when I think things are too difficult, I will think of the woman—the last runner. By the way, she did make it to the finishing line that day, when the other runners and the cheering crowds(人群) had long gone home. 1．According to the passage(根据文章), the event may happen in __________.

Her grandfather helped her move around on half an orange basketball. So she got a nickname “basketball girl”. Qian’s love for swimming dates back to 2007, when she was invited to watch the 2007 National Paralympic Games in Kunming, capital of Yunnan. Watching the players swimming, she thought to herself, “Could I become one of them?” At the age of 11, she joined the provincial swimming team for people with disabilities. However, without legs, it was difficult for Qian to keep her balance in water. To help her overcome the difficulty, her coach made a specific training plan for her. Every day, she practiced for at least four hours. She made great efforts to improve her arm strength and balance. It took her some time to get used to the water. Soon she found swimming was almost second nature. In 2009, she won three gold medals in the provincial contests in Yunnan, as well as one gold medal and two silvers at national events. In the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games, she placed ninth in the 100m breaststroke. “I like swimming.

Some people might think that the young are too young to know what they want. But people like Lu Kaigang prove them all wrong. Lu, 23, a fashion model from China, grew up walking the roads in Guangxi Province. Now, he walks on some of the largest fashion catwalks (T台) in the world. Lu had a supermodel dream when he was still in primary school. Although Lu didn’t have money or take any professional training, he didn’t stop from achieving his dream. Lu collected pieces of cloth from the factory he worked at and made them into beautiful clothes. In 2018, he started making videos of himself wearing his handmade clothes and posted them online. In the beginning, the videos he posted didn’t get many “likes”. But he believed what he was would be recognized by the world someday. Then, Lu quitted his job (辞职) at the factory and went back to his hometown to spend time learning how to be a supermodel. He also began to use other materials for clothes, like plastic bags and even buckets, and kept posting videos online. About one year later, Lu’s hard work paid off and he became a star online. He’s not just your ordinary (普通的) model. His one-of-a-kind clothes show off his talent and creativity, and his videos are mostly filmed on village dirt roads, adding a special and fresh background. Lu has what money can’t buy: determination (决心) and self-belief. We can be sure that if he hadn’t followed his heart at young age, he wouldn’t be where he is today. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 11．What was Lu’s life like before becoming popular online?

An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger (乘客) seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed. Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪) by the seat of the old man named Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while. “He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, she “talked” about her family and her plans for the future. Cook “told” Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported. “Clara was amazing,” an air hostess said in an interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.” 16．What was the air hostesses’ problem? A．They had a very difficult passenger. B．They couldn’t understand the passenger. C．They didn’t know the passenger’s name.

However, many people cannot get rid of (脱离) smartphones because phones have become part of daily life. As the addiction (瘾) to the smartphone has become a serious problem, it brings many results in life. Most phone users look down at their phones for a long time. When hunching (弯) or bending their neck, they put serious pressure on the neck and backbone. And this will cause a sore back or a neck ache. According to studies, as high as 45% of the young people from age 16 to 24 these days suffer back pain because of the heavy usage of smartphones. Also, trying to focus on and look at the screen of the phone for a long time will discomfort eyes and may cause loss of vision (视力). Besides, if someone brings the phone to sleep with, he or she will spend more time on the phone than sleep without noticing it. It’s true that phones make life more convenient, but that doesn’t mean they can take control of life. To get rid of phones, you can create a phone-free time. For example, turn off your phone or stop it from the Internet after 8:00 p.m. At that time, you can spend time on anything but phone so that you won’t check on your phone. Just like smoking, phone addiction is habitual. You must replace the habit with another if you want to stop it. So find a few things to do whenever you are not using your phone, such as reading a book or exercising. Of course, it’s not easy to get rid of a habit and the beginning is the most challenging. That’s why having a strong mind really makes a big difference. Remember, do not let your phone become your ______. Instead, improve your self-control and put smartphones into good use. 20．Which shows the number of the young people aged 16～24 who have a sore back? (stands for the number) A． B． C． D． 21．How does the writer explain the ways to avoid phone addiction? A．By telling a story. B．By listing some numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By comparing two facts. 22．Which word can be the most suitable in ______? A．friend B．teacher C．master D．waiter 23．Which is the right order of the text? a. The ways to get rid of phone addiction. b. The importance of a strong mind. c. The cause of smartphone addiction. d. The results caused by smartphone addiction. A．abdc B．dcab C．cdba D．cdab 24．What does the writer mainly ask us to do? A．To live our own life. B．To use phones properly. C．To develop good habits. D．To care more about health. Here is the story of a drop in the bucket (九牛一毛). During the Han Dynasty, there was a historian (史官) named Sima Qian. One day, the emperor (皇帝) received a message from northern China. It’s said that the general (将军) Li Ling had given in (投降) to the enemy. The emperor was very angry with Li Ling. But Sima Qian didn’t say a word. The emperor asked Sima Qian what he thought about the matter. He answered, “The enemy has 80,000 soldiers, but Li has only 5,000 men. He has been fighting hard for more than ten days. Li only gave in because they had run out of food. I believe he is waiting for another chance to attack (攻击).” When the emperor heard his words, he got even angrier. He sentenced Sima Qian to castration (宫刑). Sima Qian felt so humiliated (受辱的) that he once wanted to kill himself. But in a letter to his friend, he wrote, “If I were to die now, it would be like one of nine cows losing one hair. I don’t want to die like a nobody. I will first finish the history book that I am writing.” Later, Sima Qian did finish the book, Records of the Grand Historian (《史记》). It became one of the most famous books eyer written in China. 25．Why was the emperor angry with Li Ling? A．Because Li gave in to the enemy. B．Because Li killed Sima Qian. C．Because Li didn’t say a word. D．Because Li received a message from northern China. 26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph? A．Li only gave in because they were afraid of their enemy. B．Li was perhaps waiting for another chance to attack. C．Li has been fighting hard for more than ten weeks. D．Li had more soldiers than the enemy. 27．What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A．Sima Qian killed himself. B．Sima Qian continued his work. C．Sima Qian’s friend stopped him from killing himself. D．Sima Qian’s friend finished the famous books. 28．What do you think of Sima Qian? A．He is strong-minded and hard-working. B．He is humorous and generous (慷慨的). C．He is kind and helpful. D．He is polite and clever. It can be really awkward (尴尬的) if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself is actually good for you. You probably know that thinking is good for the mind. It helps us do things like making plans and controlling our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing what is in your mind. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. When nice words come from oneself, they help to believe in him or her more. In 2009, a study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers played better than those who said nothing. Talking to yourself can also help us control bad feelings. “Imagining yourself in the third person (人称) can lead people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a teacher from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view. It also works well when we’re feeling sad or angry. Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to remember things: reading quietly, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud remembered the information the best, researchers said in their study. It’s because the information may become a long-term memory if said out loud. 29．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”. A．speaking out loud B．controlling your feelings C．showing what you want to do D．thinking before making plans 30．In 2009, a study found that ________. A．talking to friends is a good way to relax B．talking to oneself helps to do better in sports C．talking to your teachers can help to win the match D．talking to others make players do better in matches 31．The writer uses the words of Jason Moser to show that ________. A．self-talkers see things in a different way B．self-talkers think about others differently C．self-talkers usually work better than others D．self-talkers talk to others when they are sad or angry 32．According to the passage, talking to oneself helps to ________. ① improve memory        ② build a strong mind ③ control bad feelings        ④ make us believe in ourselves A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ Liu Hui is a 29-year-old girl. When she was 4, she was badly hurt in a car accident. She lost her right leg. People got to know her recently when they saw her video of doing exercise with her artificial (人造的) leg. Although Liu Hui now looks no difference from other people, she once felt terrible about herself. “When I was in high school, no one knew I had an artificial leg,” She said. “I never stayed close to my classmates. I was the first person to walk into the classroom in the morning and the last one to leave.” But now she lives a happy life. For the past three years, she has kept doing exercise. She went to the gym three times a week to stay healthy. During the three years’ hard work, she overcame many difficulties. For example, she couldn’t use the fitness facilities (健身器材) like other people in the beginning. But she kept trying and finally she succeeded. Liu becomes outgoing. She volunteers for a program for the disabled. In November, 2020, she became the ambassador (大使) for Shenzhen Accessibility Promotion Association (深圳无障碍环境促进会). She believes building a neighborhood for disabled people is really important. “Doing exercise has changed me, and I’ll try my best to make sure people with disabilities can go out without difficulties.” Liu said. 33．What happened to Liu when she was four?

D．Practice makes perfect. You may travel to some countries or you may just travel in your own country. But did you ever wonder if anyone travelled to all the countries in the world? And did you ever wonder why he or she liked travelling? Lexie Alford, from California, America, finished travelling to every country in the world at the age of 21. Lexie Alford comes from a travelling family. Her mother began her own travel business at a young age, and always took Lexie with her on all of her travels. By the time she was 18 years old, Lexis had already visited 70 countries. That made her want to visit the rest of the world. In October 2017, Lexie went on her trip to visit all the 195 countries in the world. Two years later, she finished it. Lexie used planes, boats and trains to get around. But she liked to travel by train. “Travelling on trains is slow travel. I can watch the changing views from the window.” For Lexie, there’s nothing better than travelling. Even in the hard times, she never thought of giving up. “I’m lucky I made it at last. I felt tired but it was still an exciting trip. I experienced nothing but love and kindness from the people I met in each country,” she said. “And I learned a lot about the world. The world would be so boring if everything was the same everywhere. The differences make discovering new cultures such a beautiful experience.” Lexie hopes others, especially women and young people, can go out and see the world.

C．In a student newspaper. D．In a sports magazine. Are you the type of person who sticks to something once you have made your mind up? Do you set your heart and mind on something and then go for it without stopping? Have you ever been described as strong-minded? If so, you are probably a very determined character. Determination is about moving forward to achieve your goals and not giving up when you meet difficulties. It is the willpower that helps you control yourself and achieve what you want. It is an inner strength (内在力量) that helps us to stay on course and reach our goals, no matter what. Being determined is a very good quality to have. So how can we become determined? Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you. Learn to look at the past as training for the future. Use those mistakes as a chance to learn something new. Don’t be scared of failing. Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success. What you should be scared of is not giving your goal 100% effort. Just think about how you will feel if you give up on it. Don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t change. Use your strength and your determination to achieve things that you can control. Be patient. The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way. Sometimes determination is about being prepared to wait for the right chance, and being ready when it comes up. Don’t stand in your own way. This means believing in yourself and not setting limits (限制) on yourself. To do something you’ve never done before, you need to become someone you’ve never been before. You have to be prepared to make changes. 67．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By showing a saying.
