【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.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己参加祖母马拉松(Grandma’s Marathon)的准备工作及比赛经历。

1推理判断题。根据第二段中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.可知当我姐姐提到她去年秋天报名参加比赛时,我也照做了。刚开始的时候,感觉很遥远,尤其是在冬季的早期训练中。春天一开始,情况就发生了变化。不知不觉,马拉松的日子已经到来了。由此可推知,作者在前两段想说作者第一次参加祖母的马拉松比赛的事情。故选B

2词义猜测题。根据上文And the first time I saw Lake Superior, it nearly took my breath away.可知当我第一次看到苏必利尔湖的时候,我几乎屏住了呼吸。由此可知,当作者第一次看到苏必利尔湖时,它美得让作者惊叹。甚至比赛结束的地方都风景如画。下一句中的 Even 表示意义上的递进,由此可推知,picturesque 意为“美丽的,风景如画的”。A. Beautiful.美丽的;B. Tough.艰苦的;C. Relaxing.放松的;D. Interesting.有趣的。故选A

3细节理解题。根据最后一段中Finishing in a time of 3:26:18, I ran the second fastest.可知最终我以3分26秒18跑完全程,我跑了第二快。由此可知,作者在这次比赛中取得了第二名的好成绩。故选D

4推理判断题。根据最后一段中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.可知可悲的现实是,在2018年祖母的马拉松比赛之前,我们当中很少有人在同一场比赛中取得好成绩。最终我以3分26秒18跑完全程,我跑了第二快。由此可推知,作者为自己感到骄傲。故选C

【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. However, many Italians make their way to the coast here in the summertime. Here are places to visit around the Pescara province.

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. It is a developed coastal tourist attraction with several miles of popular sandy beaches and a range of summertime activities for all the family to enjoy.

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.

1What can we infer about the first paragraph?

A.The Pescara province is larger than Abruzzo.

B.Pescara is both a city name and a province name.

【题目】 Studying makes you tired?1Here is some advice that may add happiness to your life.

Rest at weekends

Weekends are time for a rest. After a week's hard work, weekends are the best time for you to relax yourself. Having a nice lie-in(懒觉)is a good idea.2

Cry out or laugh out

If you feel sad, don't try to hide your feelings. Crying out or laughing out may help to reduce your sadness. If possible, laugh more.3If you are able to smile during your day, you'll soon begin to see the effects of stress slowly disappear.

Join in activities

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

Possible Limitations of Online Learning

If eLearning, however, is not based on solid instructional design theories and models it may lead to the following limitations:

1. It may be a "solo" act.

It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act. It will not be easy for all of your learners to feel comfortable when participating in online discussions and engaging more actively with their online instructors or their virtual classmates. Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. Furthermore, some types of learning problems may be difficult to be addressed online, and some questions can be lost in a sea of requests and inquiries. 1

2. 2

However hard we try to fully transfer human communication to online platforms, however natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens, a virtual environment is just not human. Nothing can replace human contact. Besides, using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems. Consider sending guidelines about right sitting posture, desk height, etc. along with your eLearning course; it might be very useful to your audience.

3. It requires self-discipline.

If your eLearning audience lacks self-discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind. 3

4. Possible lack of control.

However carefully you design your eLearning course, there is no guarantee that your messages will get across. You offer your learners control over their eLearning experience, but are they going to use it effectively? There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. 4 Unless you know exactly what you’re doing with new technologies, it is very likely that you overwhelm or distract your audience.

Creating effective online learning courses requires knowledge, time, experience, commitment, great communication skills, and a true passion for learning. If you’ve got all that, then be sure that the advantages of your online training outweigh its limitations.

A.It may be impersonal.

B.If your eLearning content is not built to make the most of the medium it will easily become disengaging.

C.This sometimes makes learners feel they lack support and reassurance.

D.It may harm your mental health.

E.Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet not every one of your learners has much experience of computers.

F.This works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.
