A marathon is a long running race of 42.195 kilometres. The first Olympic Marathon was held in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year.

Among them, the Boston Marathon is the oldest yearly Marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.
Themes (主题) make marathons fun and meaning. Runners run for helping sick kids, memorizing important events, or just enjoying nature. A famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they run along the golden sandy beaches.
Marathon routes (线路) let people know more about this old sport. Some routes are very challenging for runners. Runners of all skill levels can sweat (流汗) freely and push their limits (极限). Some routes are well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. In fact, it’s also a chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local culture.

When you look into the mirror, you may wonder whether it is possible for us to have a twin self who can do lots of challenging things for us, like the difficult project to be finished ahead. Now with the invention of digital twins, it seems possible.
A digital twin is a copy of things like the products or persons in the online forms. Like humans, a digital twin can also develop itself as long as they are fed with enough data (数据).
In 1970, when Apollo 13 was carrying out its task in space, something went wrong with the spaceship, leaving astronauts stranded (困住) 200,000 miles from Earth, NASA engineers used spacecraft data to recreate the conditions of the broken part of the spacecraft. This method allowed them to develop solutions that finally brought the astronauts safely home. This event is widely thought as the birth of digital twins. Since then, this technology has been used in many fields, including business, medicine, and more recently, human modelling.
One of the most fantastic uses of digital twins is in health care. Professor Declan O’Regan, an AI expert, shows the new method can help doctors treat certain illness easily and quickly, and it can even help doctors to find ways to stop some kind of illness before it is too late.
Another successful example is to use the digital twin to change the sports science to some degree. Compared with the past when the coaches needed to set up a program to help train the sportspersons, they now use the data to build the digital twin to help the athletes to improve their skills and avoid accidents in sports.
Not everything about the digital twin is good. It is clear that the new technology will influence us a lot, but what direction it will take in the future remains to be seen. There are some doubts over it, as it will result in problems related to ethical (道德的) consideration.
8. How does the writer lead in the topic?
A. By listing numbers. B. By offering an example.
C. By comparing facts. D. By presenting a situation
9. Which of the following is an example of the digital twin?
A. A twin brother of Tony Smith
B. A human-like robot
C. A number of online copy of things
D. An ongoing online copy of things
10. Which of the following sentence is correct?
A. A digital twin can just offer people a large amount of data.
B. It is computer engineer who found the digital by accident.
C. Everything about the digital twin is good enough for people.
D. People improve performance at work thanks to digital twin.
11 What will be continued to talk about at the end of the passage?
A. The disadvantages of the digital twin.
B. The different opinions of the scientists.
C. The technology to improve digital twin.
D. The future direction of the digital twin.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍数字双胞胎,一种复制真实世界的电脑模型。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据“When you look into the mirror, you may wonder whether it is possible for us to have a twin self who can do lots of challenging things for us, like the difficult project to be finished ahead. ”可知,当你看着镜子时,你可能会想,我们是否有可能拥有一个双胞胎自己,他可以为我们做很多具有挑战性的事情,比如需要完成的困难项目。因此,作者通过呈现了一个情景导入文章的。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据“A digital twin is a copy of things like the products or persons in the online forms. Like humans, a digital twin can also develop itself as long as they are fed with enough data (数据).”可知,数字孪生是在线表格中的产品或人员等事物的副本。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Another successful example is to use the digital twin to change the sports science to some degree. Compared with the past when the coaches needed to set up a program to help train the sportspersons, they now use the data to build the digital twin to help the athletes to improve their skills and avoid accidents in sports.”可知,利用数字孪生在一定程度上改变体育科学。与过去教练需要制定程序来帮助训练运动员相比,现在他们利用数据构建数字孪生来帮助运动员提高技能并避免运动事故的发生。推理可知,多由于数字孪生,人们在某些方面的表现更突出了。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据“There are some doubts over it, as it will result in problems related to ethical(道德的) consideration.”可知,数字孪生也存在一些争议,会导致一些道德问题,因此接下来文章可能会谈论数字孪生的弊端。故选A。
Maybe you’ve experienced it before: You’re nervous, you find it difficult to sleep or eat, everything seems to be so worrying. And if you haven’t experienced it yourself, maybe you’ve heard LeBron James says that even 20 more years into his NBA life he still gets nervous—even before the common season games. Why? Because he loves what he does and he loves that he’s still getting to do it. He welcomes the nerves: the nerves, he says, give him a sense of being present, of feeling alive.
So if you’re looking forward to a point in your work when you don’t get so nervous anymore. maybe it’s time to stop. Because the nerves don’t go away when you’re excited about what it is you get to do. And the nerves can even help you to perform at your best. However, the trickiest things about nerves may be that they help or harm us so much as we believe that they help or harm us. Our understanding of our nervousness—as it usually does—becomes the truth. So how can we deal with it properly?
________ . One thing that we can do is to believe that stress can even be good. In fact, according to the science research, there is a kind of “good stress,” the one that we have to have for learning and growth. Without it, we’re either bored or refusing to get out of our comfort zone, and therefore not getting any better at what it is we’d like to do. The next important step is to notice when they start to fall from proper challenges into tiredness, even become sickness, or pain. When such a moment happens, you need to remind yourself that it is natural and try to calm yourself down, trying to come back to what you can control.
Breathing is the only thing that we can control. This is not to say “just breathe,” because that’s hardly helpful advice. But that is what you can hold on to in that case. Practice breathing, you can become calm again bit by bit. What comes next will also become matter of the course.
Anyway, if you love what you do and you want to keep getting better at doing it, allow yourself to find out what you need to make friends with your nerves, it is such a frightening word as it sounds.
12. The example of LeBron James is used to ________.
A. show that he is such a great basketball player.
B. show NBA can make players very nervous.
C. show he loves to be nervous so as to play well.
D. show being nervous may help him to play better.
13. What does the underlined word “trickiest” mean?
A. saddest B. amazing C. surprising D. worst
14. Which of the following can be placed in the blank?
A. Good stress is always good for us.
B. There are many things we can do.
C. We should be careful of the stress.
D. Bad stress can make us feel painful.
15. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. He wants us not be afraid of the nervousness.
B. He wants us to be able to control the nervousness.
C. He wants us to be calm to deal with the nervousness.
D. He wants us to be able to get out of the comfort zone.

——Jack,12 years old, from No.2 Middle School
“My parents always helped me decide everything. For example, they asked me to focus on my study instead of practicing my hobby——running. But I’m 14 years old! I should be allowed to make my OWN decisions! So last Friday I had a long talk with them. In the end, I won! Now I’m allowed to run and remain in the school team."
——LiuYu, from Shandon
“I have lots of great moments. For one thing, I’ve traveled a lot. I lived in Italy a few years ago. Then after Italy, I went to America and worked with a team of volunteers. We were rebuilding homes after a major earthquake for two months. It was hard work but so worth doing. Life has been interesting so far."

A marathon is a long running race of 42.195 kilometres. The first Olympic Marathon was held in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the well-known marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon. Among them, the Boston Marathon is the oldest yearly Marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.
Themes (主题) make marathons fun and meaning. Runners run for helping sick kids, memorizing important events, or just enjoying nature. A famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they run along the golden sandy beaches.
Marathon routes (线路) let people know more about this old sport. Some routes are very challenging for runners. Runners of all skill levels can sweat (流汗) freely and push their limits (极限). Some routes are well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. In fact, it’s also a chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local culture.
A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.
4. According to paragraph 1, the oldest yearly marathon is ________.
A. the Tokyo Marathon B. the Olympic Marathon
C. the Boston Marathon D. the New York City Marathon
5. What is the theme of the marathon in Gisborne?
A. Lively kids B. Beautiful Nature
C. First Light D. Ancient City
6. The writer uses the example of the Great Wall Marathon to tell that the route ________.
A. shows the city culture B. is difficult to plan
C. makes runners sweat D. is a great challenge
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Marathon: History and Topics B. Marathon: A Race for Runners

When you look into the mirror, you may wonder whether it is possible for us to have a twin self who can do lots of challenging things for us, like the difficult project to be finished ahead. Now with the invention of digital twins, it seems possible.
A digital twin is a copy of things like the products or persons in the online forms. Like humans, a digital twin can also develop itself as long as they are fed with enough data (数据).
In 1970, when Apollo 13 was carrying out its task in space, something went wrong with the spaceship, leaving astronauts stranded (困住) 200,000 miles from Earth, NASA engineers used spacecraft data to recreate the conditions of the broken part of the spacecraft. This method allowed them to develop solutions that finally brought the astronauts safely home. This event is widely thought as the birth of digital twins. Since then, this technology has been used in many fields, including business, medicine, and more recently, human modelling.
One of the most fantastic uses of digital twins is in health care. Professor Declan O’Regan, an AI expert, shows the new method can help doctors treat certain illness easily and quickly, and it can even help doctors to find ways to stop some kind of illness before it is too late.
Another successful example is to use the digital twin to change the sports science to some degree. Compared with the past when the coaches needed to set up a program to help train the sportspersons, they now use the data to build the digital twin to help the athletes to improve their skills and avoid accidents in sports.
Not everything about the digital twin is good. It is clear that the new technology will influence us a lot, but what direction it will take in the future remains to be seen. There are some doubts over it, as it will result in problems related to ethical (道德的) consideration.
8. How does the writer lead in the topic?
A. By listing numbers. B. By offering an example.
C. By comparing facts. D. By presenting a situation
9. Which of the following is an example of the digital twin?
A. A twin brother of Tony Smith
B. A human-like robot
C. A number of online copy of things
D. An ongoing online copy of things
10. Which of the following sentence is correct?
A A digital twin can just offer people a large amount of data.
B. It is computer engineer who found the digital by accident.
C. Everything about the digital twin is good enough for people.
D. People improve performance at work thanks to digital twin.
11. What will be continued to talk about at the end of the passage?
A. The disadvantages of the digital twin.
B. The different opinions of the scientists.
C. The technology to improve digital twin.
D. The future direction of the digital twin.
Maybe you’ve experienced it before: You’re nervous, you find it difficult to sleep or eat, everything seems to be so worrying. And if you haven’t experienced it yourself, maybe you’ve heard LeBron James says that even 20 more years into his NBA life he still gets nervous—even before the common season games. Why? Because he loves what he does and he loves that he’s still getting to do it. He welcomes the nerves: the nerves, he says, give him a sense of being present, of feeling alive.
So if you’re looking forward to a point in your work when you don’t get so nervous anymore. maybe it’s time to stop. Because the nerves don’t go away when you’re excited about what it is you get to do. And the nerves can even help you to perform at your best. However, the trickiest things about nerves may be that they help or harm us so much as we believe that they help or harm us. Our understanding of our nervousness—as it usually does—becomes the truth. So how can we deal with it properly?
________ . One thing that we can do is to believe that stress can even be good. In fact, according to the science research, there is a kind of “good stress,” the one that we have to have for learning and growth. Without it, we’re either bored or refusing to get out of our comfort zone, and therefore not getting any better at what it is we’d like to do. The next important step is to notice when they start to fall from proper challenges into tiredness, even become sickness, or pain. When such a moment happens, you need to remind yourself that it is natural and try to calm yourself down, trying to come back to what you can control.
Breathing is the only thing that we can control. This is not to say “just breathe,” because that’s hardly helpful advice. But that is what you can hold on to in that case. Practice breathing, you can become calm again bit by bit. What comes next will also become matter of the course.
Anyway, if you love what you do and you want to keep getting better at doing it, allow yourself to find out what you need to make friends with your nerves, it is such a frightening word as it sounds.
12. The example of LeBron James is used to ________.
A. show that he is such a great basketball player.
B. show NBA can make players very nervous.
C. show he loves to be nervous so as to play well.
D. show being nervous may help him to play better.
13. What does the underlined word “trickiest” mean?
A. saddest B. amazing C. surprising D. worst
14. Which of the following can be placed in the blank?
A. Good stress is always good for us.
B. There are many things we can do.
C. We should be careful of the stress.
D. Bad stress can make us feel painful.
15. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. He wants us not be afraid of the nervousness.
B. He wants us to be able to control the nervousness.
C. He wants us to be calm to deal with the nervousness.
D. He wants us to be able to get out of the comfort zone.
