ATo American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's".There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorizedand passed from generation to generation. They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Ra ther shoeless than bookless," they proudly say.1. American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because .A. no dogs are permitted in the capitalB. the police do not carry handgunsC. the climate is rather mild.D. it is very different from America2. The following statements are true EXCEPT .A. there are no soldiers in IcelandB. the Icelanders don't drink beerC. there is no service fee of any kindD. there are no crimes in Iceland3. There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because .A. Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available powerB. the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energyC. it is located just under the Arctic CircleD. it is a democratic independent country4. "Rather shoeless than bookless" means .A. they prefer not to have shoes or booksB. they would rather have shoes on than write booksC. they prefer traveling to readingD. they regard books more important than shoesBAn old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying(恃强凌弱. Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland. She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying. Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her. Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers.Judy Kuczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA. Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota. She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child. She had a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends. And over a period of time her grades fell completely. She started having health issues. She couldn't sleep. She wasn't eating. She had terrible stomach pains. She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night. Didn't want to go to school."Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person. It can involve physical violence. Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats. Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.And now there is cyber bullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages. It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s. The latest government study in the United States was released last year. Itfound that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network. She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need. She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.5. From the case of Tina, we can know that .A. bullying is rare in schoolB. victims suffered a lotC. schools are to blame for bullyingD. personalities are related with bullying6. Cyber bullying is appealing to the bully because _________.A. it can involve more peopleB. it can create worse effectsC. it is more convenientD. it can avoid cheating7. According to Susan Sweater, .A. bullies are anti-socialB. bullies should give victims helpC. victims are not equally treatedD. bullies themselves also need help8. Which of the following can be the best title of the textA. 15-Year-Old Irish Girl Committed SuicideB. Girl’s S uicide Brings Fresh Attention to BullyingC. Cyber-Bullying Taking Off in SchoolsD. How to Solve the Problem of Bullying Among TeensCMachines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago, few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent his machine, to stop anyone copying it. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. Hedidn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum (旋转桶 of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patente d the original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner with an electric motor to suck the dust.9. Inventors patent the inventions so as to ______.A. produce more new machinesB. avoid being copied by othersC. make the inventions more popularD. make more money10. According to the article, modern inventors ______.A. had to wait for the first spin-drier for a long timeB. only imitated the first washing machineC. powered the first ever-made washing machine by electricityD. followed the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it much11. The underlined word “crude” in paragraph 3 me ans ______.A. quite uselessB. ugly-lookingC. much tougherD. not skillfully made12. The article mainly tells us about ______.A. the great inventors in the worldB. the important inventions in the worldC. the short history of household machinesD. the importance of the machines used in the homeDPeople fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet—the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small toplay the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966 Taylor's fame and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky; she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others —several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.13. The producers didn't let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because theythought she ________.A. was small in sizeB. was too youngC. did not play well enoughD. did not show much interest14. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they wereboth ________.A. popular all their livesB. famous actressesC. successful when very youngD. rich and kind-hearted15. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of ________.A. 12B. 28C. 31D. 3416. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to ________.A. doing business and helping othersB. turning herself into a legendC. collecting money for the poorD. going about research and education workETechnology: Taking the good without the bad Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives. This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlying them. There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding. We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous. The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years arenanotechnology ( 纳米技术 , artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt. But they are going to be very, very dangerous. I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence. I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain. Target date is 2010. The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator( 终结者 is that the people win. If you're fighting against technology which is 50,000 million times smarter than you, you probably will not win. Nanotechnology. We've all heard of the grey glue problem, that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue. And certainly in biotechnology, we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT. Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek(星际迷航. And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much. Eventually these technologies will become routine. That’s a threat to humanity. I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down. So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools. The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger. I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed. 17. From the text, we know that the author’s greatest concern is A. our lack of technological understanding of the process involved B. our lack of technological capability C. creating technology without really understanding the basic science D. Our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create 18. It can be inferred from the text that the author . A. thinks people overestimate (高估 the capabilities of technology . 第 6页共 8页B. is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positivelyC. thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriouslyD. believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically 19. Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win A. Because the power of the technology is exaggerated(夸大. B. Because the strength of the machines is much greater. C. Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans. D.Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle. 20.

2018年 江苏卷 阅读AWe know the famous ones — the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells — but what about the lessfamous inventors? W hat about the people who invented the traffic light What about the people who invented the traffic light and the w indshield windshield wiper (雨刮器雨刮器))？Shouldn’t we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Ran so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learni invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her studen ts to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean McLean’’s statement. “If I h ad not heard the story of the windshield wiperhad not heard the story of the windshield wiper ’s invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I “I“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into s never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into s so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer. So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with t 1918 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the sno the windshield, she found herself wondering why there co couldn’t uldn’t be a bu built-in ilt-indevice for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started draftsolutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆操作杆操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm ) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It’s hard to imagine driving without GarrettA. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett ’s ’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses56. By mentioni mentioning ng “traffic light”light” and “windshield wiper”,wiper”,the author indicates that countless inventions are ______.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inven famous57. Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to ______.A. add color and variety t o students’ campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper’s inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own inventions58. Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was ______.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures59. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invent ed the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Un iversities?60. Which of the following isdiscouraged by the Friends organization?B. To prevent possible damages to the NationaA. To build massive complexes for public amusement.Park.D. To sponsor publications and projectsC. To help protect and improve the Park for all to enjoy.in local schools.61. One of the benefits for members of Friends is to ______.A. have Friends’ goods free of chargeB. visit any place not open to the publicgoods free of chargeC. take part in work parties if they want toD. give talks in their fields on curr62. The purpose of this poster is to invite more people to______.B. join the Friends organization and beA. raise money for the Friends organizationmembers of itD. enjoy the landscape of PembrokeshireC. work as managers for Pembrokeshire National ParkNational ParkCAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gig watts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills (see picture) ) to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put themThe project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large -scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机涡轮发电机涡轮发电机). ). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton 2.3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar (see picture ),), a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is fil stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability in in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for If all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger tu Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, th e whole spar’s centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean ’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turwhose gearbox (变速箱变速箱变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades () sits at sea level rather than behind the blades (see picture ).). Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to best low-carbon power sources available.63. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of _______.A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface64. To balance a bigger turbine high on a flatting spar, a new type of turbine is to be des gearbox sitting ______.A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades65. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can ________.A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by produ turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaD Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,“Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not w like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physicall were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy lo looked around and said, oked around and said,“We’re losing by six r uns runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局). I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accIn the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind b the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and gi chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The fpitch (投) came and Shay missed.

Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Before choices are finalised, parents/careers will be asked to sign to confirm their（1）Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping?....（2）What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs. Wilson?to London.a parade and fireworks.central Paris.the WWI battlefields.（3）How long does Potty about Potter last?days.days.days.week.of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who caresHowever, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.（1）What does the author seem to like about cherries?contain protein.are high in vitamin A.have a pleasant taste.are rich in antioxidants.（2）Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?make them smell better.keep their colour.speed up their ripening.improve their nutrition.（3）What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?dessert.drink.container.machine.（4）From which is the text probably taken?biology textbook.health magazine.research paper.travel brochure.and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?’s reading habits.of children’s books.’s after-class activities.relationships.（2）Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"paragraph 2.paragraph 3.paragraph 4.paragraph 5.（3）Why do many parents limit electronic reading?are of poor quality.could be a waste of time.may ha rm children’s health.are expensive.（4）How should parents encourage their children to read more?as role models for them.then to write book reports.up reading groups for them.with their reading class teachers.’ve all been there: in a lift, in lin e at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problemIt’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an inv aluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’teven exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. ＂Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,＂ he explains. ＂The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.＂In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. ＂It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,＂ says Dunn. ＂But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.＂Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. ＂Small talk is the basis of good manners,＂ he says.（1）What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?to smartphones.behaviours in public places.of communication between strangers.with slow service.（2）What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?good manners.to other people.on a topic.business deals.（3）What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?improves family relationships.raises people’s confid ence.matters as much as a formal talk.makes people feel good.（4）What is the best title for the text?Countsof Making Small Talkof Small TalkSilence5.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字） rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂） of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political andscientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.【江苏卷】【北京卷】AMy First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He laterinformed me that I was“ not athletic”.The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！At mile3, I passed a sign:“ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving！As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.36. A month before the marathon, the author____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. Lost hope37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.38. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.39. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.【天津卷】AFire Prevention InformationThe University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals.
