M:My history professor says I should think about a job in politics. But I don't think I'd make a good politician.

第二部分
B
The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white Tshirt.
I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.
第二部分
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we'd slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn't.
第二部分
45
Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘动) behind her.
第二部分
46
I don't know this woman's name, but that day she became a part of my life—a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “Ijustcan'tdoit”, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为马拉松比赛的工作人员,目睹了一位腿有残疾的女性坚持跑完马拉松的过程,她的精神一直激励着作者。
第二部分
47
24.What does the underlined word “crippled” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Disabled. B.Healthy.
C.Perfect. D.Strong.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. (她的脚朝里,但左膝朝外。)”以及下文“bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon (腿弯曲,走路对她而言似乎是不可能的,更不用说跑马拉松了)”可知,这个女人腿有残疾,由此可推知,画线词意为“残疾的”。故选A。
第二部分
25.What has the author learnt from the woman?
A.Don't depend on others when facing hardships.
B.Nothing is too tough to accomplish if one is brave enough.
C.The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty.
D.It's not winning but finishing the thing we start that really matters.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,作者并不认识这名女性,但是残疾的她跑马拉松并不是为了在比赛中跑赢其他人,而是身残志坚地坚持跑到终点。由此可推知,作者从这个女人身上学到的,不是胜利而是完成一开始做的事才是最重要的。故选D。
第二部分
26.What words can best describe the woman?
A.Proud and determined.
B.Strongwilled and honorable.
C.Modest and courageous.
D.Diligent and considerate.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles.”以及最后一段的内容可推知,这位有残疾的女性意志坚强,值得尊敬。故选B。
第二部分
27.What could be the best title for the text?
A.A Humorous Stranger B.An Unforgettable Job
C.The Last Runner D.The Annual Marathon
解析:标题判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“When I think things are too difficult ... how easy the task before me really is. (当我认为事情太困难或者那些‘我只是做不到’的时候,我就会想到那位最后一个跑步者。然后我意识到我面前的任务是多么的简单。)”并结合全文可知,本文主要讲述作者作为工作人员参加马拉松比赛,目睹一位腿部残疾的女性作为最后一名选手却坚持跑完马拉松的过程,并且在往后的生活中一直受这位女士的激励。所以C项(最后一位跑步者)为短文最佳标题。故选C。
第二部分

Open water swimming
I had only swum in open water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, so I wasn't prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.
第二部分
52
Most of the people taking part were doing a onemile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of openwater enthusiasts alongside complete beginners—which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the twomile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every onemile race.
I had chosen the third onemile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area, a children's paddling poolsized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone's thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.
第二部分
53
We'd been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400mtogo mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn't work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn't want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.
第二部分
54
Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there—still onelegged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn't matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I'm hooked, and want to give it another go. I've already signed up for my next openwater swim.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加一英里的天然水域游泳的经历,最终成功到达终点线。

第二部分

A.To stress the importance of the race.

第二部分

A.the race would cause breathing problems
B.the race became harder than she had expected
C.it was really necessary to prepare for tough swims

解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第五至七句“I recalled overhearing people ... the entire leg tight and painful.(我想起了那些人提及的克服水中抽筋的技巧,所以我尝试了,但是没有作用,我感觉整条腿开始紧张疼痛。)”可推知,这次比赛比她想象的要艰难。故选B。
第二部分
31.What does the author talk about in the last paragraph?
A.Her confidence in her own ability.
B.Her pride in having swum so quickly.
C.Her eagerness to repeat the experience.

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and icecream than meat and rice. Sweets and icecream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite (食欲). It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.
第二部分
60
A long time ago, in England, some judges (法官) used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not eat the bread, it showed that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章结合一个小故事告诉我们健康饮食的重要性。

SMART Goal Setting
SMART goal setting is one of the most valuable methods used by high achievers today to actualize (实现) their life goals time after time. SMART is an acronym (首字母缩略词) that stands for—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timebound. __36__
第二部分
66
Every goal ought to be specific. Being clear about your goals and expectations is the first step to reaching them. __37__ For example, “I will start planning toward retirement” is vague. Instead, you could say, “I will start planning toward retirement by building up a nest egg.” This is more specific. When you are specific on your goal, it's easier for you to identify all its components and work accordingly toward achieving it.
__38__ If you can't measure something, you can't tell if you're performing well or if you're off track. Setting measurable goals lets you evaluate your performance and stay on track.
第二部分
67
Goals should be achievable and realistic. __39__ It's also important not to get too carried away and use farfetched or unreachable goals as motivators, constantly chasing an impossibly high goal. Allow yourself to feel motivated by the satisfaction of achievement and real progress.
Each goal has to be timebound. __40__ Actually, it's incredibly important to make your goals timebound. The act of having deadlines set to your goals is a motivation that drives you into action. Without a deadline, it is not possible for you to know if you're making headway with your goals.
第二部分
68
A.Your goals must be measurable.
B.That is because your goals are not specific enough.
C.It is the final letter of SMART that is often ignored.
D.When goals are too wide or vague, they are easy to miss.
E.To make your SMART goals work, use the following tips.
F.You may wonder if this is achievable in the given time frame.
G.It's important to plan out goals that are within realistic capabilities.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“SMART”是成功人士用来实现人生目标的最有价值的方法之一,并具体介绍了“SMART”这个缩略词的含义及其实现方法。
第二部分
69
36.答案:E

解析:本段的主题句是“Every goal ought to be specific.(每个目标都应该是具体的。)”,结合下文“For example, ‘I will start planning toward retirement’ is vague.(例如,‘我将开始为退休做计划’是模糊的。)”可知,设空处应表示不应设置太大或者模糊的目标。D项(当目标太宽泛或模糊时,人们很容易迷失目标。)符合语境。故选D。
第二部分
38.答案:A
解析:设空处为段落主题句。结合下文“If you can't measure something, you can't tell if you're performing well or if you're off track.(如果你不能衡量某件事,你就无法判断自己表现得好还是偏离了轨道。)”可知,本段主要讲的是要设置可衡量的目标。A项(你的目标必须是可衡量的。)符合语境。故选A。
第二部分
39.答案:G
解析:本段主题句是“Goals should be achievable and realistic.(目标应该是可实现的和现实的。)”,结合下文“It's also important ... an impossibly high goal.(同样重要的是,不要过于得意忘形,不要用遥不可及或不可达到的目标作为激励因素,不要不停地追求一个不可能达到的高目标。)”可知,设空处主要讲的是设置现实的目标的重要性。G项(在现实能力范围内制定目标是很重要的。)符合语境。故选G。
第二部分
40.答案:C
解析:根据本段的主题句“Each goal has to be timebound.(每个目标都有时间限制。)”可知,这是SMART目标的最后一点。C项(它是SMART的最后一个字母,经常被忽略。)符合语境。故选C。

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. The doctors didn't hold too much hope for their recovery. “What both of them need is a miracle,” they said. One man's bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. The companionship grew stronger as time went by.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those onehour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. These periods gave him something to hold on to while he went through the pain of treatment.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

99
As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the amazing scenes. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window described it with vivid words.

One morning, the nurse found the man by the window lying lifelessly on the bed. He had died peacefully in his sleep. She was sad and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. And the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He supported himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
第四部分
The man was greatly surprised at what he saw when he took his first look out of the window. It faced a blank wall. Later the man asked the nurse why his roommate described such wonderful things. The nurse responded that the man was blind and perhaps he described the beautiful scene outside the window just to encourage him. There is great happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
