When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not.In my first literature class，Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said，“Mrs. Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses，“You are no different from your classmates，young man.”I tried，but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person，Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education.But Louis didnt give up. Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots (点)，which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasnt I the “blind” in my class，being made to learn like the “sighted” students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed，I was no different from others；I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up?I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next daywith an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”4.The author didnt finish the reading in class because _.A.he was new to the class B.he was tired of literatureC.he had an attention disorder D.he wanted to take the task home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A.He had good sight. B.He made a great invention.C.He gave up reading. D.He learned a lot from school.6.What was Mrs.Smiths attitude to the author at the end of the story?A.Angry. B.Impatient. C.Sympathetic. D.Encouraging.7.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CMy First Marathon（马拉松）A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. 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 competition 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(鞋带) 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(世俗标签), I can now call myself a marathon winner.8.Amonthbeforethemarathon,theauthor _.A.waswelltrained B.feltscaredC.madeuphismindtorun D.losthope9.WhydidtheauthormentiontheP.E.classinhis7thyear?A.Toacknowledgethesupportofhisteacher.B.Toamusethereaderswithafunnystory.C.Toshowhewasnottalentedinsports.D.Toshareapreciousmemory.10.Howwastheauthorsfirstmarathon?A.Hemadeit.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival(存活) is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Mutton town. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2to-3weekold owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate(定位) the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct(建造) a nest in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches(松树枝) into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were nowhere to be found. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded(回应) to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And with it was the greatest sight of all LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12. What is unavoidable(不可避免的) in the authors rescue work according to Paragraph 1?A.Failing to save the creature. B.Getting injured in his work.B.Feeling uncertain about his future. D.Creatures forced out of their homes.13.Why was the author called to Mutton town?A.To rescue a woman. B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl. D.To cure (治愈) a young owl.14. What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest. B.Some food.C.A recording. D.Its parents.15. How would the author feel about the result of the event?A. Its unexpected. B.Its beautiful. C.Its funny. D.Its disappointing.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock . 16 Here is how to make one. 17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why its important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make. Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 Thats a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.

But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 19 Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.
