【题目】 The province of Pescara surrounds the city of the same name and lies in the very centre of the district of Abruzzo. This is a part of Italy of remarkable beauty and with cultural riches, yet it has never been a major destination for international visitors, largely because this area is not very well served by international flight lines.

The city of Pescara

The city of Pescara is the most famous today for being the birthplace of Gabriele D'Annunzio, perhaps the greatest Italian writer of the modern ear.

Citta Sant'Angelo

Lying just a few miles northwest of the city of Pescara in an area famous for the production of Montepulcianod' Abruzzo wine, its main visitor attractions are the churches of San Michele Arcangelo and Santa Chiara.

Loreto Aprutino

Almost directly west of Pescara, and north of Bolognano, it is worth visiting just to see its wall painting of The Judgement, but this small town has many more to offer the visitor including the region's pottery industry and some excellent olive oil.

Castiglione a Casauria

If you enjoy further southwest from Loreto Aprutino, you will come to Casauria and the remains of the 9th-century Abbey(修道院) of San Clemente.

【题目】 Every life-changing decision we make in our life shapes our current reality. Let’s talk about a few ways that you can use for reference when making your own life-changing decisions.

Realize the power of decision making. Before you start making a decision, you have to understand what a decision does. 1 When you decide to pick up a cigarette to smoke it, that decision might result in your picking up one after one later on to get that same high feeling.

Carry your decision out. It’s pointless to make a decision and just keep it in your head 2 If you want to make real changes in life, you have to apply action to your decision until it’s completed.

Tell others about your decisions. Telling other people what we’re going to do can make us follow through. For example, if you decide to become an early riser, you can go to a forum and tell people that you will wake up at 6 a.m. and keep on it. 3

Learn from your past decisions. It’s common that you are going to mess up at times when it comes to making decisions. 4 Ask yourself what is good or bad about your decision and what you will do to make a better decision next time.

5 For example, if you made the decision to lose ten pounds by next month through aerobics (有氧运动). You don’t have to just do aerobics. You can be open to losing weight through different methods of dieting as long as it helps you reach your goal in the end.

A.Maintain a flexible approach.

B.Enjoy the process of making decisions.

C.That’s the same as not making a decision at all.

D.It always takes a lot of time to make a decision.

E.Any decision that you make causes a chain of events to happen.

F.So, instead of beating yourself up over it, learn a lesson from it.

G.You’re able to accomplish this because you feel it an obligation to keep your word.

【题目】 Getting up in a cold winter morning is even a difficult thing to do and doing some exercise outdoors seems a tough task. 1 . People who run outdoors simply need to dress in the appropriate clothing.

Running in the cold actually helps burn more calories compared to the same activity done indoors. Cold weather basically requires the body to work harder to achieve perfect temperature for efficient functioning.

Cold winter weather is a common excuse for people to get lazy and stay indoors. Some people also eat a whole lot when it’s cold outside. 2. With these, the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢) will also slow down and eventually result in weight gain. When running is done, possible weight gain may be prevented.

3 When the temperatures are freezing and low, the body’s metabolism will also slow down and the only way to promote blood circulation is to do some exercise like running.

Having depression or a sad mood is common during the winter months. 4 Doing some running will also help to lift spirits up and make people happier.

Running activities basically help the body become healthy and strong regardless of indoors or outdoors. The additional thing is that the body needs extra work to knock back the freezing temperatures. 5.

A.Good blood circulation promotes metabolism

B.Running outdoors is also good exercise for the heart

C.With this, people will not only become healthier but also happier

D.The changes lead to people feeling down during the cold winter months

E.However, running outdoors in winter may actually provide various benefits

F.Other people meanwhile tend to watch TV all day or sleep for longer periods

G.These feelings are regarded as a common phenomenon with those living in the north

【题目】 Grandma’s Marathon doesn’t have the nationwide recognition. In Minnesota, though, people who’ve never run more than a few steps are familiar with the race.

While Grandma’s Marathon has been on my mind for years, I always found myself committed to a different race. When my sister mentioned she was signing up for the race last fall, I followed suit. It felt so far away at first, especially during those early training runs in the dead of winter. That changed once spring began. Before I knew it, the marathon day had arrived.

I’m no stranger to this, but nothing prepared me for Grandma’s Marathon mentally. Race day would be cold and rainy one day, then hot and sunny the next. Part of this has to do with the fact that Grandma’s Marathon is in June, the middle of Minnesota’s severe weather season, which typically witnesses the most thunderstorms.

Things weren’t looking great the night before the race. There was potential for thunderstorms, meaning race cancellation, and the temperature seemed a little hot. Everything changed when we woke up.

I’m not sure if it was because of the fog present through most of the morning, but the race course was just beautiful. We passed through gently rolling hills in quiet, wooded areas for much of the beginning. And the first time I saw Lake Superior, it nearly took my breath away. Even the finishing area was picturesque. I really had a good race that day.

I come from a family full of runners and many of us compete in the same events. The sad reality is that it’s rare that more than one of us will have a good race during the same competition until Grandma’s Marathon 2018. Finishing in a time of 3:26:18, I ran the second fastest.

1What does the author intend to tell in the first two paragraphs?

A.The training for Grandma’s Marathon is easy.

B.The author ran Grandma’s Marathon for the first time.

C.The place where Grandma’s Marathon take place is far away.

D.Grandma’s Marathon is popular among the people in America.

2Which of the following best explains “picturesque” underlined in paragraph 5?

A.Beautiful.B.Tough.

C.Relaxing.D.Interesting.

3What can we know about the Grandma’s Marathon?

A.The weather on the race day was severe.

B.The author made full preparation for the race.

C.Things were not going smoothly along the race course.

D.The author got a good result in the Grandma’s Marathon.

4How is the author’s attitude to the result of the event?

A.Objective.B.Puzzled.

C.Proud.D.Worried.

【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

Think of Spider-Man, Iron Man and Ant-Man. Think of Black Panther, the Mighty Thor and the X-Men. Think of the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four and all the other superheroes that have stimulated the popular imagination. 1. From a small office in Manhattan in the 1960s, he helped create a lineup of fictional heroes that have crossed from page to screen in a series of TV and movie adaptations and changed the face of popular culture.

For many, he was the face of Marvel, if not comic books in general, witnessing the company's rise to become an international media giant. As a writer, editor, publisher and Hollywood executive, he played a critical role in what comic fans call one of the medium's golden ages.

2. Lee gave the heroes flaws and insecurities, as well as an awareness of trends, social causes and a sense of humor, trying to 'make them real flesh-and-blood characters with personality, ' he told The Washington Post in 1992. 'That's what any story should have, but comics didn't have it until that point. They were all cardboard figures. '

3. Iron Man, for example, could join forces with the Fantastic Four, and Captain America could find himself a wedding guest alongside Doctor Strange. Lee created a fictional universe for readers to explore — one that made readers buy multiple series to get the whole story.

'I used to think what I did was not very important, ' Lee told the Chicago Tribune in 2014. 'People are building bridges and participating in medical research, and here I was working on stories about fictional people who do crazy things and wear costumes. But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed. '

Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created, said Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger. Indeed, Lee worked tirelessly his whole life creating great characters for the world to enjoy. 4. His legacy will outlive us all.

A.He inspired our imagination and hoped we could use it to make the world a better place.

B.If all these entertainment products can be traced to one person, it would be Stan Lee, who died last November at the age of 95.

C.Lee also appeared in a number of Marvel movies, watering his lawn, delivering the mail, and so on.

D.In order to keep multiple stories going at the same time, Lee wove them together into a seamless(无缝的) fictional world.

E.Under Lee, Marvel transformed the comic book world by humanizing its characters.

F.Through the honesty of guys like Spider-Man, we learn about different aspects of human nature.
