B Years ago, I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise. I listened to it every day. I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win! I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, yet I didn’t do quite well in it. While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury (受伤), he never forgot the promise I made for him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation (动力). It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down. So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day. It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words on the CD — “I enjoy exercise”. Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.” I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life. How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually won the gold medal in my age 5 group. 4. Why did the author take part in the race by herself? A. She would like to win the race. B. She had a good talent for running. C. Her son got injured in a car accident. D. Her son was unwilling to run with her. 5. How did the author get the motivation for training? A. By recalling some inspiring stories. B. By listening to the CD while running. C. By getting timely help from his friend. D. By forcing herself into keeping running. 6. What does the underlined word “dreading” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Fearing. B. Improving. C. Preferring. D. Taking. 7. What message does the author intend to deliver to us? A. It’s important to avoid injury while running. B. The motivating words make a difference to us. C. Parents should get along well with children. D. We can build up our bodies by regular exercise. C Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an 6 outdoor cafe. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的 ) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. 8. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult? A. He did not love his children. B. He expected too much of her. C. He was too proud of himself. D. He was silent most of the time. 9. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel ________. A. nervous B. sorry C. tired D. safe 10. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? A. More critical. B. More talkative. C. Gentle and friendly. D. Strict and hard-working. 11. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to ________. A. the cafe owner B. the author’s son C. the author’s father D. the friend of the author’s father D For much of the past hundred years, classrooms have been designed with the teacher seated in front of desks for students. But many educators now say children can do better in a less structured environment. Bob Pearlman works as an education advisor in the United States. He told The Associate Press that traditional classrooms are a thing of the past. Now students work in ''enlarged learning 7 areas" that include project-planning rooms, workrooms, and laboratories, as well as learning spaces for groups and individuals. Pearlman points to Albemarle County Public Schools, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The school system invited teams from all its schools to develop learning spaces that would help students deal with complex (复杂的) ideas and work on creative building projects. Now, its primary school classes have exchanged traditional desks for things like soft seating and connectable tables. Another change to the design of classrooms is the ability to connect to the Internet. " Classrooms, libraries, and laboratories used to be the only spaces where students spent their school hours. Wireless, laptops and project learning have changed that," Pearlman said. He noted that this has made all school spaces into possible enlarged learning areas. David Thornburg, who wrote the book From the Campfire to the Holodeck, said Pearlman's concept (概念 ) met the students' need. He said schools should provide spaces based on how humans learn. That could mean one room is used in different ways at different times, or in different ways at the same time. Earp is with Teacher magazine, a publication of the nonprofit Australian Council for Educational Research. She noted that in the 1970s, American Robert Sommer, a psychologist, was urging a critical(批判性的 ) look at traditional classroom designs. Earp said that in addition to newer "freeform" classroom designs, some teachers could find good results with designs that combine new and old ideas. They could try lining up desks at the start of the year and then placing them in groups as the classroom relationships become clearer and project work begins. 12. What change happened to Albemarle County Public Schools? A. Studying time. B. Learning materials. C. Teaching Strategy. D. Classroom furniture. 13. What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The new design. B. The existing classroom. C. The application of the Internet. D. The limitation on learning spaces. 14. What' s David' s attitude towards Pearlman' s classroom design? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Disagreeing. 15. What’s the ideal classroom in Earp's eyes? 8 A. It should be designed by teachers. B. It should offer freedom to students. C. It should combine modern and traditional ideas. D. It should offer comfortable learning environment. 第二节 (共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5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。 Time management is an important skill to develop.
