I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be an athlete.” “Dave,” Grandpa began kindly, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra (额外的) mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles, 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon (波士顿马拉松赛). I told Grandpa about my decision. “But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re ready?” Grandpa asked. But he was still willing to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day. But I fell at Mile 18 and was driven to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.” “I did?” I asked. “Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I will wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each hard step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried “Grandpa, we did it!” 31. Why did Dave fail to join the school basketball team? A. He couldn’t run fast. B. He didn’t work hard. C. He was not tall enough. D. He wasn’t a quick learner. 32. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Running every day. B. Adding an extra mile. C. Training for the marathon. D. Trying out for the basketball team. 33. Which of the following words best describes Dave? A. Shy. B. Warm-hearted. C. Friendly. D. Strong-minded. 34. After failing to finish the marathon, Dave wanted to ________. A. give up running B. run with Grandpa C. practice playing basketball D. run the Boston Marathon again 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Dream Big B. The Boston Marathon C. Think Twice D. The Story of Grandpa C Do you know what music people like listening to? If you ask them, you may get many different answers. Why do different people have different musical preferences? What do these differences say about us? Researchers from Cambridge University tried to answer these questions. They asked 350,000 people from 50 different countries. Then, they found that musical preferences depend on personality (性格). Outgoing people prefer danceable music with strong beats such as rap. Country music fans are shown to be more serious in their jobs. One of the findings is quite interesting. The researchers thought that people with much stress (压力) should like sad music or rhythmic (有节奏的) music. But it turned out that these people dislike these two kinds. Instead, they like loud music better. Maybe they like to listen to this kind of music to lower their stress. The researchers also found that climates may affect people’s musical preferences and personalities, too. People in hot weather prefer danceable music. They are more outgoing. This may be a result of longer daylight hours. They advised people to go outdoors to dance. Of course, nothing is clear-cut. We may not group people simply by their musical tastes. The study just showed us that people of different cultures are similar than we think. “People are grouped by language and culture,” said Dr. David Greenberg. “But if an outgoing person in one place likes the same music as outgoing people in other places, then we can say that music is really like a bridge.” 36. How does the writer begin this topic? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers. 37. People who are more serious in their jobs like ________ better. A. sad music B. loud music C. country music D. danceable music 38. In which season do people most probably like danceable music? A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. People of different cultures are quite different. B. People can be grouped only by language and culture. C. Listening to loud music helps to deal with people’s stress. D. Music helps people all over the world to communicate (交流). 40. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (P= Paragraph) A. B. C. D. D Many of us learn how to ride a bicycle at a young age. As we grow older, we may stop riding, but whenever we get on a bicycle, it’s like we’ve never stopped biking. In many cases, our memory (记忆) lets us down. We often find it hard to remember the name of a person or a place, but why can we still ride a bicycle after we stopped riding a long time ago? It seems that there are many types of memory. They are in different parts of our brains (大脑). Memories of experiences (eg.our first day at school) and of factual knowledge (e.g. the capital of China) are called declarative memory (陈述性记忆). Skills such as playing an instrument or riding a bike are called procedural memory (程序性记忆). Scientists have done many tests on different memory types. The most famous of them was Henry Molaison, an epileptic (癫痫患者). In the 1950s, part of his brain was taken away. After that, his illness became better. But there’s a new problem—he couldn’t remember things! What’s wrong with his memory? Through many tests, scientists found he could learn new skills slowly. However, he could never remember having been trained to learn a new skill. That means he could develop new procedural, but not declarative memories. Scientists said that even with serious brain injuries, procedural memories last much longer. However, they haven’t found out why. Some say procedural memories are more lasting because they are in the brain’s centre. Now, “just like riding a bicycle” is used in our life. Can you guess its meaning? 41. How does the writer start the article? A. By telling the difference. B. By giving an example. C. By listing the number. D. By asking questions. 42. Which of the following is the example of procedural memory? A Playing the piano. B. Our first day at school. C. One trip to France. D. The first time I rode a bicycle. 43. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Scientists. B. Tests. C. Types. D. Memories. 44. What’s Henry Molaison’s problem after part of his brain was taken away? A. His illness became worse. B. He couldn’t learn new skills. C. He could never remember anything. D. He couldn’t develop declarative memories. 45. What’s the meaning of “just like riding a bicycle”? A. A gift that one is born with. B. A task that takes a long time to finish. C. A skill that will never forget. D. A memory that is always in the brain. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 What can you do when you don’t want to do homework?
