Four years ago, I felt lucky after escaping one of those terrible 2-mile runs. I hated running; it was just something that 35 came easily to me. At that time, if you had told me that I would one day run a marathon, I’d have told you honestly that I had a better 36 of winning the lottery(彩票).The turning 37 came when I met Mrs. Green. She was fifty years old, going through chemotherapy(化学疗法)for her cancer, and still managed to run 30 miles a week. I thought that if Mrs. Green could run 6 miles at a time, I could run at least two. In February, in cold weather, I started a 2-mile 38 around my neighborhood. Two months later, I 39 the running for the first time. I felt very tired, but I felt happy.Over the next several years, I continued to push each run for a few 40 minutes, slowly building my endurance(耐力).

As I 47 the finish line, I experienced the strongest sense of 48 and happiness I had ever had in my life. I am now a marathoner.As John Bingham once said, “The miracle(奇迹)isn’t that I finished.

AIn high school, George Lucas didn’t do much work because he spent all his time dreaming about racing cars.Just a few days before graduation, George was driving home from the library in his Fiat; he prepared for a left turn by looking in the minor. But as he started the turn, he heard the sound of another car, a blowing horn(喇叭), and the speeding Chevy hit the driver side of his car. The little Fiat turned over four or five times before it was stopped by a big tree. Luckily, George did not die in the accident, but his recovery was slow and he needed months of physical treatment. He would never be able to race ears now.The accident really changed George’s life. He decided there must be some reason he survived, and made up his mind to get his act together and make something out of his life. He decided to go to university and developed an interest in reading and writing. He got on quite well in his studies. He didn’t quite forget about racing cars. At that time instead of driving race cars, he began filming them.You may have seen one or all of George Lucas’s most famous films from the Star Wars series or the Indiana Jones trilogy. Not only has George produced movies, but also he has helped invent and develop new technologies to modernize the movie industry.Today, Lucas, who earns as much as $3.0 billion, is one of the American film industry’s most successful directors and producers.50.

Knott’s Berry Farm hardly had a very good start. Arriving in Southern California in the 1920s, the Knott Family farmed about 20 acres of land and finally started a restaurant called Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant. Mrs. Knott’s food became well known and her husband Walter built a Ghost Town as a way of entertaining waiting customers. Today Knott’s Berry Farm has 165 rides, shows, attractions and restaurants. For more than 80 years, Knott’s Berry Farm has been entertaining families and visitors from around the world.There are six different themed areas with rides and attractions in Knott’s Berry Farm. Fiesta Village throws attention to California’s Spanish heritage(遗产). Indian Trails is similar to Fiesta Village but with an accent on Native American legends, crafts, music and dancing. The heart and soul of Knott’s, Ghost Town is an 1880s California Boom Town with cowboys, gunfights, and a real steam train. The Boardwalk makes people think of Southern California beach. Wild Water Wilderness is an 1800s-style park with water rapids and a magical journey into Native North America. For Peanuts fans, Camp Snoopy is a six-acre children’s wonderland with 30 rides and attractions. Knott’s Berry Farm is in Buena Vista, Orange County, California. It is about half an hour from downtown Los Angeles and 10 minutes from Disneyland. Knott’s Berry Farm is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the week. The park is open on Saturdays from 10 a. m. to 10 p.m. and from 10 a. m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. During the summer months, the park is open later. The theme park is closed on Christmas Day.53.

But very few of the park’s animals — elephants, buffaloes, monkeys and wild cats — appear to have died. There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and run away to safety.First, it’s possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit. The underwater burst produced sound waves known as infrasound(次声). Humans can’t hear infrasound, but many animals including dogs, elephants, tigers and pigeons can.A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration(震动). The great quake would have produced vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves. These vibrations move through the ground like waves moving on the surface of the ocean but faster. They travel at ten times the speed of sound. The Rayleigh waves would have reached Sri Lanka hours before the water hit. Mammals, birds, insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves. So the animals at Yala might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground.But what about humans? While we can’t hear infrasound, we can feel it, although we don’t necessarily know we’re feeling it. We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints(关节), which exist just for that purpose. Sadly, it seems we don’t pay attention to the information when we get it. Maybe we screen it out because there’s so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.56. Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?A. Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.B. Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.C. Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.D. Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.57. Which of the statements about “Rayleigh waves” is true?A. Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.B. Rayleigh waves, just like infrasonic sound, can only be felt by animals.C. Rayleigh waves are vibrational waves that usually cause quakes or tsunamis.D. Rayleigh waves move on the ocean surface at a speed ten times that of sound waves.58. According to the passage, which of the statement is true?A. We can’t feel the infrasound so we can’t be informed of the danger.B. We ignore the information of tsunami’s coming even though we can also get it.C. We were so busy on our minds that we feel neither infrasound nor Rayleigh waves.D. We can feel Rayleigh waves and infrasound so we can escape the danger like animals.DA staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride.Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective(低成本的). You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really high, and the farther you go, the higher they are. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy(经济)by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home. Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.59. For what purpose is the text written?A. To introduce the general information of staycatons.B. To compare staycatons with other vacations.C. To persuade more people to have staycations.D. To provide different ways of staycations.60. What is one of the advantages of a staycation?A. The economy in other cities is also improved.B. People spend nothing when staying at home.C. You can visit local attractions for free.D. There is no stress from traveling.61. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 5 probably means?A. includedB. removedC. coveredD. raised62. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?A. When to take a staycation.B. What disadvantages a staycation has.C. Why people prefer a staycation.D. How to have a staycation safely.王博士英语给你添分助力!第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共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。
