A
The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I knew we were already watching our \"last runner?\" Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled （跛足的）and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we'd slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn't.
Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proud waited a mam He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering behind her.
I don't know this woman's name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on For her, it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those \"I-just-can't-do-it,\"I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is. 21 . What words can best describe the woman?
A. Proud and determined.
B. Modest and courageous.
C. Diligent and considerate. D. Strong-willed and honorable. 22. What has the author learnt from the woman?
A. Don't depend on others when facing hardships.
B. Nothing is too tough to accomplish if one is brave enough. C. It's not winning but holding on straight to the end that really matters. D. The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty. 23. What could be the best title for the text?
A. The Annual Marathon
B. The Last Runner
C. An Unforgettable Job D. A Crippled Woman
B
A strong network of friends and family has long been seen as a key component of happiness, but a new study suggests friends may be more important than family.
Researchers at Michigan State University also found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older. \"Friendships become even more important as we age,” said William Chopik, assistant professor of psychology at MSU. \"Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being. So it's smart to invest （投资）in the friendships that make you happiest.\"
To reach their conclusions, the researchers looked at just over 271,000 participants in a health and happiness survey as well as nearly 7,500 participants in a survey about \"relationship support\" in older adults suffering chronic （慢性的）illness.
In the first group, both family and friendships were influential in overall health and happiness but in the second group, friendships \"became a stronger predictor of health and happiness at advanced' ages .\" Furthermore, in the second group, researchers said strained friendships led to increased chronic illness but with supportive friends, respondents reported being happier.
One reason, according to Chopik, is that relationships are optional because we can maintain them with people who make us feel good and stay away from those who don't. Family, on the other hand, is not normally optional and while often enjoyable, can also involve negative feelings.
Friendships help shelter us from loneliness, but are often harder to maintain across the life span,\" he added. \"If a friendship has survived the test of time, you know it must be a good one, a person you turn to for help and advice often and a person you want in your life.” 24. What can we learn from the latest study?
A. Family has little influence on people's well-being. B. Family and friendships are equally important to people. C. All kinds of friendships contribute to people's well-being. D. Friendships gain increasing importance as people grow older.
25. What's the probable meaning of the underlined word \"strained\" in paragraph 4?
A. Stressful.
B. Healthy.
C. Meaningless.
D. Lasting.
26. Which of the following statements would Chopik agree with?
A. People should invest in friendships in their own interest. B Friendships should be made the best of to people's own taste. C. People can choose friendships and stay away from unhealthy ones. D. Friendships are easy to keep and can survive the test of the time.
C
The Arctic Circle hit 32 degrees Celsius last week. This was the temperature in Banak, Norway on July 30, though some Norwegian areas even reached a couple degrees warmer, according to the European
meteorology site severe-weather, eu.
The greater Northern Hemisphere and Europe itself have been repeatedly scorched （炙烤）by both record and near-record temperatures this summer, a consequence of overall rising global temperatures. A photo of what appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river while the cold-adapted reindeer （驯 鹿） cooled off m the water beside them is perhaps the best example of just how hot it is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.
The “warm season” in Banak is short, lasting around three months, but the very warmest day of the year, around July 23, is usually around 62 degrees Fahrenheit --- about 30 degrees cooler than temperatures there now. All-time temperature records were set in both Norway and Finland on July 30, including 86 degrees Fahrenheit in Verde, near Banak.
Persistent heat and dryness this summer have transformed normally verdant （青葱的）European countries into brown and yellow lands, and the continent’s extreme heat is expected to continue. It is forecasted that temperatures might break Europe's all-time heat record of 118.4 degrees Fahrenheit, 48 degrees Celsius, by the end of next week. Meanwhile, across the planet, extreme heat has enhanced wildfire activity in the western part of the United States.
According to a 2016 NASA study, if global warming continues, the arctic sea ice could disappear completely by around 2040, leaving polar bears to be seen only in places like aquariums. Andrew Derocher, a Professor at the University of Alberta who studies polar bears, said, “Climate change is shrinking the ice bears usually hunt on, forcing them to spend more time on land closer to humans. It deserves further attention.\"
27. Why is the photo mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To recommend a way to cool off in hot weather. B. To reveal the scorching weather in some places. C. To introduce how Scandinavian folks live in summer D. To show the relationship between humans and animals. 28. How does the author get his idea across in paragraph 3?
A. By giving a definition.
B. By explaining reasons.
C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to a new study. 29. What message is mainly conveyed in paragraph 4?
A. How high the temperature will go in the Arctic Circle. B. What effects the continuous extreme heat has caused. C. Whether the extremely high temperature will continue. D. Why wildfire broke out more often than ever before.
30. What is Andrew Derocher's attitude to the rising temperature in the Arctic Circle?
A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Satisfied. 第二节：（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
D. Ambiguous.
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is personality? How does knowledge about personality help us? 31 In general, when psychologists talked about personality, they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain how a person is not the same as others. Psychologists often use tests to put people in categories and compare them to explain what personality is. For example, people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts （性格内向的人）.Others who enjoy going out and spend time with other people are called extroverts. 32 Are you an introverts or extroverts?
Second, how can knowledge of personality help us? Well, one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave and why they behave in a certain way, we can understand them better. 33 For example if we know that someone is an introvert, we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with a big group of newly met people. 34_
Another way knowledge of personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If We know what personality type we belong to and the reasons why we behave the way we do, we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they can become good. _35_ A. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others. B. Does personality make you different from others? C. First of all, let us take a look at what personality means. D. This will help to make our relationship with them stronger. E. Personality types affect our life in many ways. F. In this way, we can make ourselves a better person. G. Do you know which personality type you are? 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）分）

Feeding birds in winter is one of the nation's most popular wildlife-watching activities, yet many experts say it's often more rewarding for people 56 ______________________ for birds. And it might even put wild birds 57 risk. \"Feeding birds 58 (be) not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions,” said Stephen Kress, vice president for bird conservation at the National Audubon Society. \"Feeders can 59 (definite) help them get through that kind of weather.\"
The most common error people make when 60 (manage) bird feeders is putting them in places where birds can easily 61 (frighten) by foot traffic, cats or other pets. Most birds are insect eaters and aren't attracted to backyard feeders. For those birds, I recommend planting ——62 (nature) habitat and native
plants,\" Kress said. Besides, birds who do eat seed will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby. They'll be able to feed and move back into the 63 (safe) of bushes.
Do not feed wild birds anything salty or food 64 could choke them. You can feed more effectively and efficiently by using black-oil sunflower seeds, as it is a kind of food 65 (prefer) by most birds.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn't consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practiced my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator's part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease , and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and thee rose vine （藤）was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英） appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we'll have roses in this garden?' I immediately protested, \"But like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful- even dandelions.\"
