Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track (跑道) in my neighbourhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am faster than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel proud.
One day, a short man came. He didn’t look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the car and warm up before running when I passed by two walkers. He started running a few metres ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap, I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, so I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again without sounding like I had a lung disease and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.
That day, I learnt several lessons. In life, there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don’t judge the capacity of a person by how he or she looks.
The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often end up hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up, but run your race to your best.
4. What did the writer think of the short man at first?
A. He was an amazing runner.
B. He was an experienced driver.
C. He wasn’t good at running.
D. He was very proud of his speed.
5. What happened to the writer when he slowed down?
A His breath became much heavier.
B. His foot didn’t hurt any more.
C. He sounded like having an illness.
D. He started to have a pain in his foot.
6. What does the underlined word “capacity” probably mean?
A. Age. B. Job. C. Hobby. D. Ability.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Slower, the Healthier B. The Faster, the Better C. Keep Healthy through Running D. Enjoy Your Own Speed
C
What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question.
Alphorns(阿尔卑斯长号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen(牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re mostly used as musical instruments.
The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled(口哨的) language called el silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometers, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to learn it.
Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal(信号) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.
8. What are alphorns mostly used for today?
A. Communicating in the mountains B. Calling cows for milking.
C. Sending messages down to villages. D. Playing a kind of music.
9. Why do the people of La Gomera use el silbo to communicate?
A. Because it can send messages to animals.
B. Because it is different from their language.
C. Because it can be heard at a great distance.
D. Because it is a subject for young students.
10. How did soldiers along the Great Wall get warning messages between towers?
A. By listening. B. By whistling. C. By shouting. D. By watching.
11. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?(P=Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
D
Nobody likes making mistakes, but the truth is that everyone makes mistakes. It’s just a part of life. However, how you treat those mistakes makes a difference in how you learn and whether you repeat the same mistakes. Here’s some advice on what you can do, if you are upset about your mistakes.
Think about your mistakes and learn from them. It helps you to learn to think like a scientist and develop scientific thinking habits. _______________________ One of them is to make educated guesses called hypotheses (假说) and test those guesses to see if they’re right or wrong. They look at the results of their tests and learn from their mistakes—since hypotheses are often wrong. Then, they change their hypotheses and run new tests on them again.
Try to keep practicing dealing with your mistakes. Research over the years supports an idea known as the 10,000-hour rule. It says it takes about 10,000 hours to become an expert in something. It means that practice is necessary for people to be good at something. Research also shows that the best improvements come from deliberate (有意) practice. It means fully focusing on your mistakes and fixing those problems before moving on. Even though you might not be trying to become an expert right now, you can still use deliberate practice to get good at dealing with your mistakes and grow as a learner.
Don’t feel bad or worry too much next time you make a mistake. See it as a chance to learn and take the time to find out what went wrong. It will help your brain remember the mistake and what you’ve learned from the mistake. These memories will help you not repeat the same mistakes in the future and also help you learn to think like a scientist and learn from your mistakes!
12 Which of the following words does the writer probably use to describe mistakes?
A. Boring. B. Common. C. Wonderful. D. Dangerous.
13. What’s the best sentence for “________” in Paragraph 2?
A. Scientists as we all know, do many things.
B. Habits, like it or not, come from repeated actions.
C. Mistakes, believe it or not, are necessary for growth.
D. Developments, as you can imagine, are important for progress.
14. Which of the following is the best way to deal with mistakes?
A. Asking experts for help. B. Trying deliberate practice.
C. Doing research over the years. D. Finding support from family and friends.
15. At the end of the passage, the writer wants us to ________.
A. learn from mistakes B. forget mistakes quickly
C. treat mistakes as gifts of life D. make as many mistakes as possible
阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选择正确的选项 (其中一项是多余选项) ,将其序号填入1—4题,并回答5题。
Time travel is fascinating. 1 . You could meet your great-great-grandparents or see what life could be like in a hundred years. It sounds cool, but scientists are still trying to find out if time travel is possible.
One famous scientist, Albert Einstein, came up with an idea. This idea changed how we think about time and space. Einstein explained that time and space are linked and that time doesn’t always pass at the same speed. For example, when you move fast enough, time will slow down for you. 2
If you want to travel to the future, you will need to travel close to the speed of light. Then, while years go by on Earth, you would only feel a bit of time passing. When you stop and come back to Earth, you might find that you’ve arrived in the future!
Now, what about traveling back in time? That seems much more difficult. Some scientists think it might be possible to use something called a wormhole (虫洞). 3 Many believe they could be out there, but we haven ’t seen any evidence (证明) of them.
For now, it looks like time travel is still a dream. While scientists continue to study this fascinating idea, we can only hope that time travel might become possible one day. 4 After all, dreaming about travels in time can be just as fun as living them!
A. Why do we need wormholes?
B. However, no one has found a wormhole yet!
C. Based on (基于) the idea time travel is possible!
D. Have you ever thought about visiting the past or seeing the future?
E. Before it happens, we’ll have to use our imaginations and let our minds fly through time.
16. ________
17. ________
18. ________
19. ________
20. What would you do if you could visit the past or see the future? (Answer with no more than 15 words)

Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal(信号) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.
8. What are alphorns mostly used for today?
A. Communicating in the mountains B. Calling cows for milking.
C. Sending messages down to villages. D. Playing a kind of music.
9. Why do the people of La Gomera use el silbo to communicate?
A. Because it can send messages to animals.
B. Because it is different from their language.
C. Because it can be heard at a great distance.
D. Because it is a subject for young students.
10. How did soldiers along the Great Wall get warning messages between towers?
A. By listening. B. By whistling. C. By shouting. D. By watching.
11. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?(P=Paragraph)

Nobody likes making mistakes, but the truth is that everyone makes mistakes. It’s just a part of life. However, how you treat those mistakes makes a difference in how you learn and whether you repeat the same mistakes. Here’s some advice on what you can do, if you are upset about your mistakes.
Think about your mistakes and learn from them. It helps you to learn to think like a scientist and develop scientific thinking habits. _______________________ One of them is to make educated guesses called hypotheses (假说) and test those guesses to see if they’re right or wrong. They look at the results of their tests and learn from their mistakes—since hypotheses are often wrong. Then, they change their hypotheses and run new tests on them again.
Try to keep practicing dealing with your mistakes. Research over the years supports an idea known as the 10,000-hour rule. It says it takes about 10,000 hours to become an expert in something. It means that practice is necessary for people to be good at something. Research also shows that the best improvements come from deliberate (有意的) practice. It means fully focusing on your mistakes and fixing those problems before moving on. Even though you might not be trying to become an expert right now, you can still use deliberate practice to get good at dealing with your mistakes and grow as a learner.
Don’t feel bad or worry too much next time you make a mistake. See it as a chance to learn and take the time to find out what went wrong. It will help your brain remember the mistake and what you’ve learned from the mistake. These memories will help you not repeat the same mistakes in the future and also help you learn to think like a scientist and learn from your mistakes!
12. Which of the following words does the writer probably use to describe mistakes?
A. Boring. B. Common. C. Wonderful. D. Dangerous.
13. What’s the best sentence for “________” in Paragraph 2?
A. Scientists, as we all know, do many things.
B. Habits, like it or not, come from repeated actions.
C. Mistakes, believe it or not, are necessary for growth.
D. Developments, as you can imagine, are important for progress.
14. Which of the following is the best way to deal with mistakes?
A. Asking experts for help. B. Trying deliberate practice.
C. Doing research over the years. D. Finding support from family and friends.
15. At the end of the passage, the writer wants us to ________.
A. learn from mistakes B. forget mistakes quickly
C. treat mistakes as gifts of life D. make as many mistakes as possible

Time travel is fascinating. 1 . You could meet your great-great-grandparents or see what life could be like in a hundred years. It sounds cool, but scientists are still trying to find out if time travel is possible.
One famous scientist, Albert Einstein, came up with an idea. This idea changed how we think about time and space. Einstein explained that time and space are linked and that time doesn’t always pass at the same speed. For example, when you move fast enough, time will slow down for you. 2
If you want to travel to the future, you will need to travel close to the speed of light. Then, while years go by on Earth, you would only feel a bit of time passing. When you stop and come back to Earth, you might find that you’ve arrived in the future!
Now, what about traveling back in time? That seems much more difficult. Some scientists think it might be possible to use something called a wormhole (虫洞). 3 Many believe they could be out there, but we haven ’t seen any evidence (证明) of them.
For now, it looks like time travel is still a dream. While scientists continue to study this fascinating idea, we can only hope that time travel might become possible one day. 4 After all, dreaming about travels in time can be just as fun as living them!
A. Why do we need wormholes?
B. However, no one has found a wormhole yet!
C. Based on (基于) the idea, time travel is possible!
D. Have you ever thought about visiting the past or seeing the future?
E. Before it happens, we’ll have to use our imaginations and let our minds fly through time.
16. ________
17. ________
18. ________
19. ________
20. What would you do if you could visit the past or see the future? (Answer with no more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. E
20. I would meet famous historical figures to learn history.
【解析】

【18题详解】
根据“Many believe they could be out there, but we haven ’t seen any evidence of them.”可知,下文提到虫洞可能用于时间旅行,但是还没有证据。选项B“然而,还没有人发现虫洞!”符合题意。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据“For now, it looks like time travel is still a dream.”及“After all, dreaming about travels in time can be just as fun as living them!”可知,时间旅行仍是梦想,并提到梦想同样有趣,此处应切合主题。选项E“在它发生之前,我们得用想象力,让思绪穿越时间。”符合题意。故选E。
【20题详解】
开放性试题,言之有理即可。故填I would meet famous historical figures to learn history.

Keeping an English diary is a useful way to improve writing skills. At first, I was worried about making mistakes and often fell behind in my diary entries.

Gradually, my writing became more fluent and accurate.
