Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about petition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.24.A month before the marathon, the author _.A.was well trained B.made up his mind to runC. felt scared D.lost hope25.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year? A.To show he was not talented in sports. B.To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To thank his teacher for the support . D.To share a precious memory.26.How was the authors first marathon?A.He got the first prize. B.He quit halfway.C. He made it. D.He walked to the end.27.What s the best title of the passage?A.Many heads are better than one. B.Failure is the mother of success.C. Victory belongs to the most persevering(不屈不挠的). D.One is never too old to learn. CAustralians have been warned that they face a life or death decision over their water drink recycled sewage (污水) or die.With the drought (干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified (净化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.Queensland has bee the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier. I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water, said Peter Beattie. These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. Theres no choice. Its liquid gold, its a matter of life and death.Beattie said Australias second largest state would bee the first to use recycled water for drinking.Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.But Australians have never liked the idea.To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queenslands move.I am very strongly for recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him pletely, Howard said.“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.” added Turnbull, All of our big cities have to widen (使变宽) the range of water sources to include sources which do not depend on rainfall.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Premier Beattie is worried about his peoples healthB. Australians face the choice of life and deathC. Continuing drought forces Australians to drink recycled sewageD.

According to the passage, the writer agrees that_.A. no other countries but Australia decide to drink recycled waterB. the drought is the worst one in the droughts recorded in Australian history.C. Australias second largest state has bee the first state to introduce the policy D. nobody disagrees to the idea of drinking recycled purified water31.

It is painful for him to see his people drink recycled sewageD. If the decision is made, people wont survive the droughtDAt one time it was the dream of many little girls to bee a nurse. Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.What has bee of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the workforce, but their options have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as“merely a nurse”. Teachers many be also at fault. Many high school students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are“too bright to be a nurse”.Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal(致命的) diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the ing ten years.32. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. How teachers have influenced their students.B. What has caused nurse shortage.C. How nurses have been looked down upon.D. Why women have chosen many different jobs.33. The passage tells that high school teachers are at fault for .A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the USB. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their studentsC. persuading the students not to be nurses D. not asking the government to raise the nurses payment34. The author writes the passage in order to .A. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problemC. tell us womens free choices of jobs todayB. call on women to choose different kinds of jobsD. describe the unequal treatment of women in the US35. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly neededB. women in the US have greater career choices than those in other countriesC. high school students think themselves too bright to be nursesD. nursing used to be a popular job among women第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据对话内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
