【题目】Donald Arthur ticks off the marathons he's done in the last 12 years: New York City ( ten times),Los Angeles, Alaska. . . 27 in all. His goal is to complete the tiring 26. 2-mile road race in each of the 50 states; he has 34 to go.
And yet it wasn't so long ago that Arthur couldn't so much as chew(咀嚼)his food without becoming very tired. “To walk a block(街区)could take me more than an hour,” says the 63-year-old retired bookkeeper, who lives in the Bronx, New York. Facing death from serious heart trouble, an enlarged heart he blames on decades of cigarettes and alcohol, Arthur had only one choice—his doctors told him:a transplant(移植).
He recalls the unforgettable moment—6: 10 pm on August 2,1996—when he got the call that a donor(捐献)heart had become available. A 25-year- old man named Fitzgerald Gittens had died from a bullet intended for someone else. After five hours in surgery, Arthur had a new heart. Soon enough, he could walk up stairs without tiring.
That was just the beginning. A fellow patient told him about the Achilles Track Club, which helps people with disabilities to run marathons. Arthur contacted the club's president, who told him he could complete a marathon if he trained hard enough.
The club, he says,“ gave me a belief in myself. ” He joined its six-mile walks around Central Park, and then moved up to race walking to improve his endurance. Fifteen months after his transplant, he finished his first New York City Marathon.
In 2001,just before the Winter Games, Arthur carried the Olympic torch on part of its journey. But his most memorable run was the 1999 New York City Marathon, when he was accompanied by Mack Andrews, the brother of the man whose heart now beats in his chest.
【1】 In how many states of the USA has Donald Arthur run the tiring 26. 2-mile marathon by
now?

C. People who love marathons.
D. Football fans.
【3】 When and where did Donald Arthur finish his first marathon?
A. August 2,1996,Los Angeles.
B. November,1997,New York City.
C. 1999,New York City.
D. 2001,Alaska.
【4】 Who is “the man” in the last paragraph?

【题目】Pierre de Coubertin was born on January 1,1863,in Paris, France. As a child of a noble family, he received a good education and developed a strong interest in literature and history. He refused the military career planned for him by his family, as well as giving up a political career in order to serve his people better.
Coubertin was a very active sportsman and practiced the sports of boxing, fencing (击剑),horse-riding and rowing. He believed that sport was the tool for moral energy and he defended his idea with rare tenacity (坚初).
His study of history made him wish the Olympics could still be held. He thought it was the ideal that everyone should try to reach. He was sure that bringing athletes together would make friendly relations between the countries. It was this idea that led him to announce at the age of 31 that he wanted to revive the Olympics.
He made this announcement in a meeting at the Union of French Societies of Athletic Sports, for which he was Secretary General (秘书长). No one really believed him and his statement was greeted with little passion. Coubertin, however, was not discouraged and on 23 June, 1894 he founded the International Olympic Committee(IOC)in a ceremony held at the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Demetrius from Greece became the first president of the IOC.
Two years later, in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era was held in Athens. On that occasion Coubertin was elected the second president of the IOC and he remained president until 1925. Due to the 1st World War, Coubertin requested permission to establish the headquarters of the IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, which was a neutral (中立的)country, Coubertin withdrew from the IOC in 1925 to devote himself to his pedagogical (教育学的)work, which he called his "unfinished symphony(交响乐)".
Coubertin suddenly died of a heart attack on September 2,1937, in a park in Geneva, and thus his "symphony" remained unfinished. The city of Lausanne had decided to award him honorary citizenship (荣誉市 民)of the city, but he died just before the ceremony.
In accordance with Coubertin's last wish he was buried in Lausanne, although his heart was buried separately in a monument near the ruins of ancient Olympia.
【1】 Pierre de Coubertin was not interested in ________ .

A. the work Coubertin did for the IOC
B. the pedagogical work
C. the ceremony of awarding Coubertin honorary citizenship
D. the fact that Coubertin's heart attack never got well
【4】 What can we learn from the passage?
