【解析】

【文章大意】带着受伤的脚参加3 000米跑步比赛, 这注定没法取胜。可是只要你勇于参赛, 坚持到底, 你也会有所收获。

1.选C。逻辑推理题。又是地区运动会了, 可作者的脚由于上一次的(earlier)受伤仍然还没有痊愈。注意本句中的过去完成时态及still的意义有着明显的提示意义。slighter更轻微的; worse更糟的; earlier更早的, 上一次的; heavier更沉重的, 巨大的。

2.2】选D。逻辑推理题。根据上句可知, 作者不是认为(supposed), 设想(imagined), 希望(expected)参加运动会, 而是怀疑(doubted)自己是否应该参加运动会。

3.3】选C。逻辑推理题。但是我到了比赛场地, 准备(ready)参加3 000米跑步。

4.4】选B。前后照应题。其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from behind), 靠近(close to, next to)作者, 而是冲到了作者的前面(ahead of)。后文as I fell farther and farther behind有所暗示。

5.5】选A。背景常识题。作者越来越落后, 作者不会感到惊讶(astonished), 也激动(excited)不起来, 而是感到惭愧(ashamed), 当然不至于害怕(frightened)。

6.6】选A。词汇复现题。这是作者在运动会上听到的最大的欢呼声(cheer)。前面“Hooray! ”(欢呼的叫声)也有所暗示, 后文I heard a cheer—　　　than the one I’d heard earlier和They must be cheering for the boys. 也都有明显提示。

7.7】选B。逻辑推理题。第一名已经先我两圈到达了终点, 作者心想可能自己不该参加比赛, 应该放弃(drop out)才对。slow down(使)慢下来, (使)减速; drop out不参与, 离去, 放弃; go on继续下去; speed up加速。

8.8】选D。逻辑推理题。然而我还是决定坚持跑下去。注意前后句子之间的转折意义。therefore因此, 所以, 表示因果关系; otherwise另外, 否则, 表示其他情况的出现; besides此外, 还, 表示附加意义; however然而, 可是, 表示转折关系。

9.9】选C。前后照应题。跑最后两圈时, 作者无法轻松(with delight)起来, 也没有害怕恐惧(with fear), 当然也无法提前(in advance)到达, 而是在脚疼(in pain)的状态中跑着。前文My foot still hadn’t healed from a(n)　　　injury. 已经有所提示。

10.0】选C。逻辑推理题。作者在想这一次已经没有办法了, 明年就不参加赛跑了。文中一再谈到race和track。

11.1】选A。逻辑推理题。由上文作者已落后且脚有伤, 可知作者认为这样做不值得, 故用worth, valuable后不能直接加宾语。

12.2】选D。前后照应题。欢呼声不是更弱(weaker), 更低(lower), 而是更大(louder)。longer缺少比较的对象或前提。

13.3】选B。逻辑推理题。作者转身看到男孩子正准备开始比赛, 确信(sure)大家是为男孩子欢呼。

14.4】选B。逻辑推理题。作者正准备离开, 这时几个女孩子走上前来。when在此句中作并列连词, 意思是“正在这时, 就在那个时候, 突然”。while作从属连词, 表示“当……时候”, 通常强调两个动作或情况的同时发生; as作从属连词, 表示“当……时候”, 通常强调一个动作或情况伴随另一动作或情况; since作从属连词, 表示“自……以后, 自……以来”。

15.5】选D。逻辑推理题。作者对女孩的赞扬不解, 因为她刚刚跑过了终点, 结束了比赛, 但跑在最后没有获胜, 输(lose)了比赛。

16.6】选B。逻辑推理题。女孩子们的鼓励使作者又找回了失去的希望(hope), 而不是欢乐(cheer), 兴趣(interest), 经验(experience)。

17.7】选D。词语辨析题。作者决定明年还要参加(stick with)径赛比赛。hold on把持住, 不挂断, 停止, 继续, 常有hold on to的用法。turn to转向, 求助于, 致力于, 开始行动; begin with首先, 用……开头; stick with与……固定在一起, 坚持做(某事)。

18.8】选A。逻辑推理题。作者意识到力量和勇气并非总是可以用奖牌和胜利衡量(measure)的。measure估量, 斟酌, 权衡; praise赞扬, 称赞; test测试, 检验; increase增加, 增大。

19.9】选B。逻辑推理题。但是在我们战胜了的“竞争”中, 力量和勇气总是可以估量出来。sadness悲哀, 悲伤; struggle挣扎, 努力, 奋斗; disease疾病, 弊病; tiredness疲劳, 疲倦。

20.20】选D。逻辑推理题。最坚强的人并非总是赢得胜利的人, 而是(but)那些遇到失败挫折时决不放弃的人。or或者, 还是, 表示选择关系; nor也不, 表示否定关系; and表示并列关系; but表示转折关系。

Last Tuesday, the Students' Union in our school advised that Senior Three students shall do something specially for their parents on their 18th birthdays. All the students are active in responding it and most of them have come up with their ideas.

Has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s, designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button(按钮). And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just￡127, 000.

The plane, which has fold-out wings that span 17. 5 feet, can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(模式).

Fuelling(加燃料)the 19 feet long plane couldn’t be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

A spokeswoman said, “You can keep your ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport, fly up to 460 miles, land and drive directly to your destination(目的地). You will always be ready to drive or fly. ”

The spokeswoman added, “Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert(使转向)and continue on the ground until the weather clears. ”

On Saturday, Feb 12, 2000, two things happened that changed my life.

First of all, my baby sister got married. She was 26 this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister.

I was happy, but also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing(支使) her around. My bossy behavior had once earned me the nickname Lucy. If you’re a fan of Peanuts, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister.

At one point, I left the wedding reception to get some air. I went outside and walked to a nearby playground. I’m not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we were both grown up. As she wiped a tear from my eye, she lovingly said, “You’ll always be Lucy to me.” We hugged.

Then, my cousin Mike walked over to tell us that it was time to cut the cake, and the second thing that changed my life that day came to pass.

“Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schulz died today?” he said casually – as if it were no big deal. Then he took my sister’s arm and they turned to head back to the reception hall. “Coming?” they asked. “In a minute,” I replied, and I sat back down on the bench, dizzy from what Mike had just told me.

How could Charles Schulz be dead? He was my creator! He was almost like a father to me!

I had lost so many things on that day. My innocence had slipped away like a thief in the night. It was gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasures that I had held in my heart. I felt myself grow up in an instant. I saw, for the first time, what I really was – a 30-year-old woman with a husband of my own, and soon, a child of my own.

I took a deep breath and stood up from the bench. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I hadn’t missed the cutting of the cake. It was the day that my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest – the day that Lucy died, and I was born.

1.Why did the author feel sad at her sister’s wedding?

B. Lucy no longer matters to the author.

D. The author is no longer sad and ready to face the fact that she is an adult.
