C What makes 15,000 men and women take off their jackets on a cold day in April and run for four hours or more through the streets of greater Boston? It certainly sounds silly, but I was one of those runners. In fact, like everybody else, I even paid for the experience. The race is called the Boston Marathon (马拉松), and people have been competing in it since 1897. “I could do that,” I said. “No, you couldn’t,” my friend Ed replied. “We want to bet?” I said. That’s how it happened. There were times when I regretted the dare. I had never run more than eight miles at a stretch before, and here I was training for over three times that distance. To make matters worse, since the race was in April, I had to run throughout the winter, and in Boston, winters are cold. For most people, just putting on their shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats is exercise enough. I found myself out on the dark January streets, jumping over snow banks and skidding (滑) along icy patches of sidewalk. Even in gloves, my fingers got so cold that they felt like they are iced; my nose didn't defrost until lunchtime! Finally, the big day arrived. The weather was cold, with ice and rain. Bang! The gun sounded, and we were off. Well, I didn’t actually go anywhere at first because I was standing behind so many people I had to wait for them to move. It was like being in a traffic jam, so I jumped up and down to stay warm. At first, the running was easy. The other runners just seemed to pull me along. Somewhere around the 20-mile mark I even caught myself thinking, “This is nothing. Why did I train so hard?” That’s when I hit the wall. I didn’t actually run into a brick wall, but it felt as if I had. “The wall” is what marathoners call the point at which your body simply runs out of gas. My legs turned to rubber; my arms turned into pieces of wood. I thought I might pass out. I can’t remember anything about the last five miles of the race. I kept running though. At least, that’s what Ed told me at the finish line. “You looked good,” he said. “How did it feel?” “Great,” I lied. I wasn’t going to let him get the last laugh. 52. Which words best describes the weather on race day? A. Cold and sunny. B. Cold and rainy. C. Cold and snowy. D. Cold and foggy. 53. According to the article, what might someone do to prepare for a marathon? A. One must eat certain foods and get plenty of sleep. B. One must be an experienced runner to train for the marathon. C. One must be willing to train many hours and put in a lot of miles. D. One must be willing to eat, sleep, and train twenty-four hours a day. 54. The writer lie about how he felt while running the race because __________. A. he wasn’t willing to accept the truth. B. he didn’t want his friend to laugh at him. C. he didn’t want his friend to worry about him. D. he didn’t want other marathoners to laugh at him. 55. What does “hit the wall” in the passage mean? A. Your body hits a brick wall and you have pain. B. You lose feeling and you can’t move your arms and legs. C. Your body reaches a point where you think you can’t go on any more. D. Your mind reaches a point where it stops working and you can’t continue. D It just hadn’t been a very good week. On Tuesday, Sam’s father lost his job. Then on Wednesday, Sam’s mother announced that the rent on their apartment was going up. Now it was Friday, and Sam had just opened his e-mail to find an invitation from Rosa to her birthday party. An invitation to a party at Rosa’s would have been good news. Sam knew Rosa from Adventure Club. Members of the club took trips to places such as the Museum of Natural History. Sam knew that he would enjoy Rosa’s party, but he didn’t want to go empty-handed without a gift. What could he possibly buy her with the little bit of money he had left in his pocket? Sam knew he couldn’t ask Mom or Dad for any money—not this week! “Sam thought, “I don’t have time to worry about this right now. I’ve got a report to write for school, and I’d better get to the library before it closes.” Later that afternoon, as Sam was leaving the library, he noticed a sign that said there was a book sale going on downstairs. Sam headed down for a quick look, and two books caught his eye. The first was a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods, and the second was a book about women explorers. “Rosa would like these,” Sam thought, “but would it be tacky to give her used books for her birthday?” Sam decided that a used gift was better than no gift at all. Besides, Rosa supported recycling in a big way, so probably she would not mind. With his last dollar, Sam bought the books and went home feeling a little better. The party on Saturday was a lot of fun. Everyone told stories about the funny things they had done in Adventure Club—like the time they went hiking in a nearby park and fell into the lake. Rosa’s mother and grandmother served them delicious food and creamy coconut milkshakes. Rosa opened all her gifts and thanked everyone for the nice things they had given her. She stopped for a moment when she opened Sam’s gift, which made him wonder if she liked the books, but nothing was said. The moment passed, and soon the party was over. When Sam got home, he opened his e-mail to find this note from Rosa: Dear Sam, Of all the gifts I received today, yours was the nicest. How did you know I would love a book about women explorers and a cookbook of Puerto Rican foods? Now I have something to read that will inspire me to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, and I have a book that I can share with my grandmother. She is getting older and wants to be sure her granddaughter knows how to make the wonderful foods of Puerto Rico. Thank you so much. You are a good friend. Love, Rosa. The week turned out to be a good one after all. 56. What was the main problem in this story? A. Sam’s mother was out of work. B. Rosa’s grandmother was getting older. C. Rosa had not invited Sam to her birthday party. D. Sam didn’t have enough money to buy Rosa a gift. 57. According to the passage, which word best describes Sam? A. Thoughtful. B. Humorous. C. Brave. D. Foolish. 58. Why was Rosa so pleased with the cookbook? A. Her dream was to become a great cook. B. She wanted to be better at cooking than before. C. She had never tasted Puerto Rican foods before. D. She wanted to learn how to cook Puerto Rican foods. 59. After reading the thank-you note from Rosa, Sam will most probably __________. A. join the Adventure Club B. buy Rosa more books C. ask Rosa to lend him the books D. write back to Rosa 60. Which saying best expresses a theme of this story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. It’s the thought that matters. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. If at first you don’t succeed, try again. 非选择题 (共60分) 五、填空（共25小题；每小题1分，满分25分） A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 61.

You dream around four to six times a night, even if you can’t remember them in the morning. Scientists don’t really know for sure why we do it. One theory is that sleep is a chance for the brain to deal with thoughts and feelings - keeping things it thinks are important in memories and getting rid of others. Another theory says dreams can help you see things from different points of view and could even help you solve problems. There are two main phases (阶段) of sleep. These are rapid eye movement (REM), when the eyes move quickly in lots of directions behind closed eyelids (眼睑), and non-rapid eye movement. You can dream in either phase, but it’s most likely to be during the REM phase, which happens about 90 minutes after you fall asleep. This is when brain activity increases until your mind is almost as busy as it is when you’re awake. Many scientists think that animals including cats and dogs can dream because they experience REM sleep. It is a good idea to go to sleep at about the same time each night. It is also important to give yourself time to relax. This could be by reading or listening to relaxing music. Try to stay away from bright lights and screens, such as phones, tablets or TVs. If you find you are worrying about something, have a notepad by the bed. You can write down your worry, close the pad and put the thought out of your mind, then deal with it the next day. You could also write down your dreams when you wake up (if you can remember them). All about Dreams What are dreams? · Dreams are ____86____ or a series of events that take place around four to six times in your mind during sleep every night. · Although scientists are not sure about the ____87____ of dreaming, there are two theories. · Sleep can help people ____88____ important things and throw away others. · Dreams can help people see things ____89____ and can even help solve problems. ____90____ do people dream? · There are two main phases of sleep — rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement. · Dreams ____91____ take place during the REM phase, which begins 90 minutes after you fall asleep. · Eyes move quickly and brain activity keeps ____92____ until your mind is busy as you are awake. How to have a good night’s sleep? · Go to sleep at a ____93____ time. · ____94____ yourself by reading or listening to music. · ____95____ bright lights and screens. · Put the thought out of your mind if something worries you.

Most people use them every day to work and p____97____. Actually, the first personal computer was invented in 1975. Before then, people survived without computers and the Internet.
