作者羡慕大孩子戴着勋章和绶带的样子，于是她参加了学校的越野队。虽然很难，但她坚持了下来，并通过努力锻炼取得了很大进步。文章告诉我们这样一个道理：遇到困难和挑战时，要勇敢面对，不放弃。
16．D 作者也想像她见到的大孩子那样戴着勋章和绶带，所以她加入了学校的越野队。第三段中的“Then one of my friends joined the crosscountry team，too.”是线索提示。
17．C 根据上文“I was very slow in the team.”可知，作者在比赛中几乎总是最后一个完成，故选C。
18．A 根据下文“Every time I stopped”可知，作者在长跑比赛中总是不得不停下来，故选A。
19．B 根据上文“作者在长跑比赛中总是不得不停下来”可知，这些比赛是很累人的，再结合下文作者与她朋友的对比“She never got tired and didn't get cramp(抽筋)in her legs.”可知，应选B。
20．A 这些令人疲惫的比赛以及至少一百人参加比赛的确使作者很紧张。故A项正确。下文“Even a whole month before a race，I'd get so nervous that I felt like I might give up.”是线索提示。
21．D 每次作者停下来，就会有10个人超过她。
22．B 虽然作者讨厌看着他们超过自己，但她仍然无法使自己继续下去。
23．C 作者的朋友从不感到累，腿也不抽筋，且由该空下一句可知，作者无法理解为何如此不公平。equal“相等的，平等的”；reasonable“合情理的”；fair“公平的”；tolerable“可容忍的”。故C项正确。
24．B 她跑得很轻松而作者却觉得那是一种折磨。解题时注意while表对比。
25．D 作者从未感到如此没有自信，想放弃。confidence“自信”，符合语境。
26．C 然而，作者没有放弃。though用作副词时，表示“然而”，常用在句末。
27．A 比赛前一个月作者都紧张得想放弃。然而作者拒绝了放弃。
28．D 此处指戴着勋章和绶带的大孩子的那个画面仍然在作者的脑海里。
29．C 最终作者意识到，自己面对大赛紧张的原因是她总是担心自己没有准备好。be ready for“准备好(做某事)”。
30．B take out“取出”；map out“仔细策划，计划”；figure out“理解”；let out“发出，下课，散场”。此处指“制订计划”，故选B。
31．A 作者每天锻炼以帮助自己逐渐形成稳定的步伐。根据下文“I stopped only once and my pace was much better.”可知，应选A。
32．B 根据下文“I stopped only once and my pace was much better.”可知，作者所有的锻炼奏效了。set off“出发”；pay off“奏效，取得成功”；get off“离开”；take off“起飞，脱下”。故B项正确。
33．C 虽然真的很难，作者甚至曾想放弃，但她坚持下来了，她为自己感到自豪。be proud of“为……感到自豪”。
34．A 作者通过坚持不懈的努力取得了很大进步，向自己表明自己足够坚强，能够继续下去。strong“坚强的；强大的”，符合语境。
35．D 下次作者面临艰难的挑战的时候，她将会知道自己能应对它。challenge“挑战”，符合语境。

It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, “I'll send Mum some roses(玫瑰).”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?” he asked. The assistant(店员) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).
“No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite.”
After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved b
y both of them, the assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty－five dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.
As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Cryi
ng, the young man carefully put down the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

My husband is a born shopper. He loves to look at things and to touch them. He likes to compare prices between the same items in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I’m not a shopper. I think shopping is boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our different ways.
Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absent-minded. This was his story.
One day I said to him, ” I hope you won’t forget what I have told you to buy.” “ No,“ said Jimmy. “I won’t forget. You want three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat.”
He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again, “three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat.”
In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.
As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, “I’m sorry, Mum. I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat. I only remembered to buy six eggs, but I’ve dropped three of them.”
【小题1】The husband likes shopping because _______.

| D．he has nothing to do but shopping. |

| A．he is young | B．he is absent-minded |
| C．he often loses his money | D．he doesn’t like shopping |
