This day was filled with freezing rain, snow and strong winds. However, for one participant named Kathrine Switzer, the weather conditions were the least of her worries. Kathrine was the first and only registered female runner in the marathon and she had something to prove.The first few miles were a piece of cake for Kathrine. Then around mile four, she realized someone was chasing her. She turned around and was startled to see an angry face just inches away. It was the race director (赛事总监), Jock Semple.“Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!” Jock yelled. As he said this, he grabbed Kathrine and tried ripping her race numbers off her sweatshirt. Kathrine was so shocked and terrified. As Jock clung to her sweatshirt, Kathrine struggled to break free.Kathrine felt awful. She thought about dropping out, but soon she knew that wasn’t an option. “If I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles. If I quit, everybody would say it was a show. If quit, it would set women’s sports back, way back, instead of forward…”While all this thinking was going on, Kathrine continued, until she found herself nearing the finish line. Completely soaked and greeted by only a handful of reporters, none of whom cheered, Kathrine completed the race in a time of 4 hours and 20 minutes. The race was over, but her pursuit of change was just beginning.She was a primary force behind getting women officially accepted into the Boston marathon in 1972. Her leadership also paved the way for the International Olympic Committee to admit the women’s marathon into the 1984 Olympic Games. Her number 261 on that historic day in Boston has also become a symbol of fearlessness for millions of women worldwide.24．What did Kathrine hope to achieve in the 71st Boston Marathon?A．Being a registered runner.B．Proving women’s athletic ability.C．Instructing her friend as a coach.D．Providing service as a volunteer.25．Why did Jock Semple chase Kathrine?A．To follow her pace.B．To defeat her in the race.C．To force her to quit.D．To remind her of the rules.26．What is mainly discussed about Kathrine in the last paragraph?A．Her leadership.B．Her ambition.C．Her popularity.D．Her contribution.27．Which of the following best describe Kathrine according to the passage?A．Caring and sensitive.B．Fearless and responsible.C．Adventurous and kind.D．Courageous and determined.CIs forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged (疏远的) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual application in conflict situations, develops with practice.28．What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A．People should offer mercy to others.B．People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.C．Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D．Aggressive people should learn to forgive.29．What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?A．To forgive is to love.B．To fight is to grow.C．To dominate is to harm.D．To give is to receive.30．What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A．Objective.B．Reserved.C．Favorable.D．Skeptical.31．What is message of the last paragraph?A．Forgiveness is in our nature.B．Forgiveness grows with time.C．Actuality is based on potentiality.D．It takes practice to forgive.DIn the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to frighten away would-be predators.To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes, and after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.videoed the owls. After analysis, theresults When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized. 32．What was Dr. Russo’s findings of the study?A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.33．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?A．By consulting experts in this field.B．By referring to other scholars’ analysis.C．By collecting computer data.D．By conducting series of scientific experiments.34．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean? A．Disappointing.B．Controversial.C．Definite.D．Uncertain.35．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bats get a new trick to scare away owls.B．Bats mimic buzzing to frighten away predators.C．Bats are no longer victim to owls.D．Bats’ auditory mimicry behavior is widespread among animals.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
