But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢). “Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body has held up. everything has held up and I’ve made it to 104.” She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued. All together, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4,385 kilometers. During that time she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing... This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s told me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.” 4. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons? A. She wanted to set a new record. B. She was driven by her interest C. She intended to challenge herself. D. She was inspired by people like her 5. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with? A. She didn’t get professional training. B. She found it hard to keep her balance C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg D. She couldn’t use regular running blades 6. What message does the author express through the story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Time works wonders. C. A good beginning is half the battle. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 7. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Brocrsma? A. Annoyed. B. Admiring. C. Sympathetic. D. Critical. C According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’s languages will have died. Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back with great effort. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world. For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died. Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back (反弹) and survive. 8. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show? A. Many languages are endangered. B. Culture determines language development. C. Human activity has an influence on languages. D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages. 9. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do? A. Promote online courses of local languages. B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages. C. Increase dying language speakers to a million. D. Make certain languages available in digital form. 10. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project? A It is portable but very expensive. B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press. C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity. D. It contains automatically updated information. 11. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph? A. stay alive. B. die out. C. come back. D. pass down. D They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.” 12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 13. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余。 As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.

He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Boby. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help achieve.” The other children also jumped up all attention.
