But not Amber Miller, who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day.As she neared the final stage of the race, she began to feel pain in the stomach. But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes.Unbelievably, the Chicago race was not even baby June's first marathon —Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year, four months pregnant. She also ran another marathon when she was about four months pregnant with her son, Caleb.Although there was extra weight, the seasoned runner's time was just 3 hours off her personal best.Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race, but she was not sure if it was labor (分娩), because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant.After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the healthy 7 pounds, 13 ounce(盎司) baby.Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the race. The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic welcome from crowds as she ran along. But the devoted runner, who had completed eight marathons, admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.“I know what I can handle. This is something I've been doing for a long time，”the experienced marathon runner said.June was born at 10：29 p．m. on Sunday night after seven hours' labor. “She's absolutely perfect，” Miller said. “We are extremely happy, but very tired.”After her surprising double achievement, Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a fulltime mom.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Miller failed to finish the race due to her labor.B．Miller's husband was against her running the race.C．It wasn't Miller's first time to run a marathon while pregnant.D．Miller knew she was going to give birth at the end of the race.6. What is the name of Miller's kid born right after the Chicago Marathon? A．June. B．Caleb. C．Amber. D．Wisconsin.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Miller will soon return for her favorite marathons.B．The baby was in danger at birth because of the race.C．People have different attitudes to Miller's action.D．Miller's personal best in marathons was over 6 hours.8．What is the best title of the passage?A．A young American couple loving marathonsB．How to finish the latest Chicago MarathonC．How to train a pregnant woman for marathonsD．A pregnant woman giving birth after a marathonCChristmas Day is for eating, drinking, watching bad TV — and trying to cover up your embarrassment as you realize your husband's aunt Maud has spent her pension on your present while you bought her a set of Christmas cards.Presentbuying can be a minefield: from how much to spend, to whether to risk surprising receivers with a gift they don't want, to knowing if you should buy your neighbor you only say hello to a little something.Here, FEMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select presents to ensure the only thing that's red this Christmas is Santa Claus' nose.“If you've just started seeing someone you don't need to spend a fortune，” says dating advisor James Preece.“It's much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that's a little bit different. ￡20 is about the right amount, with a maximum of ￡50 if you can afford it.”“Or you don't even need to go that far”，says relationship expert and founder of , Helen Rice. “Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out. Feel free to give the person you're dating something thoughtful, just don't s pend a lot of money.”“If you're in a longterm relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation，” adds James. “You don't need to go crazy, but it's a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them.”“It's also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than big ones. Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping, so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy.”9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph in this article?A．To arrest the attention of readers.B．To criticize greed of mean couples.C．To describe traditional customs of Christmas Day.D．To express sympathies for embarrassed senior citizens.10．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A．To surprise their friends with their delicate intention.B．To accumulate red symbols for Christmas atmosphere.C．To avoid unnecessary embarrassment when sending gifts.D．To calculate how much paint they need to decorate the house.11．Which statement does James Preece agree?A．Curiosity to gifts adds to fun.B．Diamonds are girls' best friends.C．True friends need nothing but trust.D．Only rare treasures can move a stone heart.12．Who are the target readers of this article?A．Those who cannot afford expensive eating.B．Those who have trouble in picking proper gifts.C．Those who want to fix their broken friendship.D．Those who have once quarreled with their neighbors.DInstagram is containing so many photos of food—now a popup diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new popup restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. The Picture House is the world's first paybyphoto restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.The popup diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve twocourse meals tha t customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's “Food for Life” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food.“Taking photos offood enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the paybypicture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers paid by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.13.Instagram probably is ________.A．a restaurant free of charge B．a new marketing projectC．a project used to share photos D．a campaign of “Food for Life”14.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to ________. A．create a new social media trend B．attract more customersC．raise the price of frozen food D．reward the regular customers15.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A．Food for Life B．Pay by PictureC．No Need to Pay D．The Popup Diner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。

camera will be recording your every move．Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson，a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay $5，000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week．To Rob's surprise，quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviewed and selected Eric，a 24﹣year﹣old restaurant worker，and Para，a 24﹣year﹣old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide．A camera would record their experiences，which would take place in an art museum．The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads．They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe．Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks，mirrors，or toothbrushes in the cage．Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage．Visitors who came here were warned，"Do not feed the humans．"Finally it was over，and Para and Eric appeared from their cage．They had survived the week，and they each had a $2，500 check in their hands．When RobThompson opened the cage，Eric came out，changed into clean clothes，and ate a chocolate bar right away．"It's great to be able to stand up，"he said．Para just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her，she didn't want to talk to anyone．56．What kind of person is Rob Thompson？A．He is curious about people's personal life．B．He is kind﹣hearted to animals．C．He hates people around．D．He likes to help poor people．57．The

passage？A．Easy Way to Earn $2，500 B．Do Not Feed the HumansC．Living Like a Chicken D．Getting Along Well Anyway．60．（8分）This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents．Can you

they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI）of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny．"But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法）can change the situation．There was no time to waste；so many girls were dieting to death．"However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal．"64．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is．A．to change the working conditions of modelsB．to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD．to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65．In the opinion of the critics，the law won't succeed because．A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．B．it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well．C．it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models．D．the fashion industry is much too influential．66．What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation？A．Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model．B．Establishing his fashion model agent．C．Being interviewed by a reporter．D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders．67．（8分）In face of global warming，much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies．But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives，it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs．In the meantime，the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）．"As long as we're consuming fossil fuels，we're putting out CO2，"says Klaus Lackner，a geophysicist at Columbia University，"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely．"That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2，which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming．"We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral （基本的）role in reducing emissions，"says Kim Corley，Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs．That forward thinking strategy is gaining support．The U．S．Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant．The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants．But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it？One option is to put it to new uses．Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts （转换）coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas．It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada，where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations．In the Netherlands，Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses，increasing their production of fruits and vegetables．However，scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage．Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean，Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline （盐的）formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world．67．What does the author intend to tell readers？A．How to find more oil and natural gases．B．How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．C．How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively．D．How to make good use of solar and wind energy．68．According to the passage，the following statements are true EXCEPT that．A．the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B．it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC．capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D．long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69．By using CO2，Dutch farmers have been able to．A．increase their production of fruits and vegetables B．convert coal into synthetic natural gasC．pump it underground in oil recovery operations D．make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70．How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph？A．It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy．B．It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U．S government sponsors．C．It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful．D．It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．71．（10分）Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life，and we should keep learning something new every day．To become a lifelong learner，first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie．You can try many different things so that you'll find you're not only good at a few things．Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things．This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things．Anyway，be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now．To make learning fun，you need to see learning as an exploration，not a chore （杂事）．Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary．Instead，learn things you need to learn and you love to learn．Follow your heart，as well as your sense of duty．Even when you're learning the things you have to，seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn．Look at the history，case studies，different applications，etc．，to make your learning experience much more colorful．Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful．So make friends with local new and used book sellers．Through reading you'll never stop learning．Wise people read lots of books all the time；it's as simple as that．And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way．So remember that books，newspapers，and magazines are all reading，and as are websites，reviews and other online sources of information．Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers．So be sure to listen closely and understand the response．Sometimes a response is difficult to understand．Feel free to take notes，ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components （成分）to make sense of it．You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have．Questions can teach as much as，or more than，answers．To be a lifelong learner，often evaluate （评估）and apply what you learn．Does it make sense？Is it true？Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning．In addition，applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer．How to become a lifelong learner．ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsKnow what you are good at and（71）By trying many different things，you can be aware of your possible （72）to do many things well．You should overcome your past memories and don't（73）any chance to tryin．something new．View learningas an exploration．Don't force yourself to learn something．Instead，be eager to learn what（74）to you．When learning the things you

AHe lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were r ecognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illnes s that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved worl d fame. Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized a s one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert , the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The van Gogh Year” in his honor. And the van Gogh Museum in , home to the bigge st collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary w ith exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws aroun d 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor(牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions i nto his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His styl e is marked by short, broad brush strokes(笔画).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself m ore forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He r elied heavily on the support from his brother, an art dealer wh o lived in . But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. H is portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for $89.5 million in 1990.
