第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)AIt was a Saturday morning,a day I believed would end in victory.For weeks,I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds,sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club.My horse,Tonka, and I could run faster than any other kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车).Although we never discussed it, my father's struggle with alcoholism had become the silent centre of our family life.My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision.Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn't possibly support four children.No one talked about alcoholism in those days,and it was my family secret.We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed towards the fairgrounds,picking up speed once we hit the main road.It wasn't until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control.The dream of my riding winner disappeared.Tonka lay on the floor, completely still.No words were possible.I knew he was dead.Suddenly a man appeared.“Are you all right?” he asked.“Yes.”I answered,although I knew that nothing was all right.“Sit here on the grass,”he said.He bent down to look into the trailer.Tonka remained still.He touched Tonka and then turned to face me.“He is going to be OK.He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rub bed Tonka's cheeks and gently pulled his ears.Tonka rose to his feet.Our father was talking to a police officer.He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me.I looked back;the man was gone.I never forgot him.He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.1.The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ________.A.take part in a horse racingB.buy Mum a blue ribbonC.join the local riding clubD.train his horse there2.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.A.the family kept silent at homeB.the family lived a secret lifeC.Father was addicted to alcoholD.Mother was physically disabled3.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A.Once formed,bad habits are difficult to break.B.Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.C.However mean your life is,meet it and live it.D.Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbour in the storms.BSince I became a full-time freelancer(自由职业者), I've found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn't been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.I've quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.Writing down all the big and important things you'll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.Don't read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlling breathing exercises or taking yoga exercises to lower your stress level.These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasantexperience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you're already halfway on your journey towards becoming an early riser.4.What do we know about the author?A.He has a full-time job outside. B.He likes lying in bed all day.C.He was once fired by a company. D.He has difficulty getting up early.5.The author gives us some tips to help us________.A.find the key to success B.become an early riserC.fall asleep within 10 minutes D.relax after a day's hard work6.Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?A.It is a good way to reduce stress. B.It can help you sleep.C.It can make you worried. D.It will help you wake up earlier.CWhat an athlete eats before, during and after exercise is important for comfort and performance during exercise. While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for muscles is stored in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is very important to recovery and being ready for the next exercise.Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset. To make sure you have enough energy, yet reduce stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event.If you have an early morning race or exercise, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20~30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.Because glucose(葡萄糖) is the energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as fruit, bread, energy bars and drinks.Planning is necessary if you are competing in an all-day event, such as track meets or other tournaments. You should plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks that you have tried before. Do not experiment with something new on the event day.7.Fully digesting before an event may________.A.cause stomach upset B.give enough energy and stomach discomfort C.give comfort and good performance during exercise D.lead to hunger during exercise 8.From the passage we can learn________.A.you'd better have your pre-exercise meal after an early morning raceB.fruits and bread are high in glucose and easy to digestC.planning is not necessary for track meetsD.you can try something new for your meals on the event day9.What does the underlined word “digest” mean?A.Absorb. B.Interest. C.Disappear. D.Recover.10.What is the best title for the passage?A.Tips for eating before exercise B.What to eat during exerciseC.Fully digesting before exercise D.Planning for your exercise第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。

His mother, Pia, says he r youngest son's positive attitude helped too.“I knew Kevin was going to find a way to be okay.”These days, Pearce is back on the snowboarding circuit(巡回赛).Instead of performing tricks, though, he's commenting on them from the broadcasting room.He still longs for competition.But heunderstands the danger of another fall.1.Kevin Pearce can say nothing about the accident because he ________.A.has no memory of the accidentB.isn't allowed to say anything about itC.lost the power of speech in the accidentD.doesn't want to recall the terrible experience2.The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “________”.A.other playersB.Pearce's friendsC.other players' tricksD.Pearce's thick glasses3.What can be inferred from Pearce's mother's words?A.She is very worried about her son's health.B.She has confidence in her son's recovery.C.She is thankful to her friends and relatives.D.She regrets she can't help her son recover.4.We can learn from the passage that now Pearce ________.A.teaches others to snowboardB.is still involved in snowboardingC.is still lying in bed and watching TVD.is learning new skills from other playersBIn the competition of Olympic weightlifting, the athletes try to lift the maximum weight they can.There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete: body weight, height and strength.The Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength(爆发力).There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple: they are short of explosive strength.The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilogrammes.The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general, but it is set depending on the ually the athletewith the lowest weight begins.If he/she is not successful, he/she can try later.There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men.However, now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting.It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women's competitions entered an organized professional environment.For women, Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure.However, strength training techniques(技术) are widely and successfully used by women, too.Lots of the athletes who've ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power.However, the demarcation line(分界线) is not still very clear between power training and Olympic weightlifting.This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition, even if their purpose was different at the beginning.5.Few lifters can take part in Olympic weightlifting mainly because ________.A.they are tired of the trainingB.they haven't been trained correctlyC.they can't learn the lifting techniquesD.they don't have enough explosive strength6.How many more times can a lifter try if he/she fails for the first time?A.Two.

And don't even get me started on being a published writer.9.Why do most people think “I” to be strange when hearing “I” want to be a writer?A.Because they consider writing difficult.B.Because writing isn't popular with the local.C.Because writers are very crazy and strange.D.Because people can't make money by writing.10.According to the passage, what drives “I” to be a writer?A.Influencing other people by writing.B.Becoming famous by working at writing.C.Improving the power of my brain by writing.D.Creating something out of nothing by writing.11.In which part of a website may the passage appear?A.Entertainment.
