My target was to raise ￡2,000, a big challenge. But it was brilliant because collecting not only motivates you to train hard, but also means you’re not just running for yourself. You’re running for something much greater.You’d be surprised at how many people donate money around the time of the marathon. People were so crazy that I hardly noticed how quickly things happened and how quickly the following months flew by. It was my first marathon. I did my research, made a plan and put it up on my wall and crossed an item off every time I went for a run. That’s the key. The training plan lasted 16 weeks. I started with five-mile runs and got myself up to 8-10 miles.Your training pays off on the day of the event. Go over Tower Bridge with thousands of people cheering you on, and run down roads that you never get the opportunity to go to – it’s amazing. It’s like a leap of faith. The truth is that if you never take the risk, you’ll never know how much you’ll push yourself and what you can achieve.I haven’t made a decision whether to take part in next year’s London Marathon. But that’s fine. I know I’ve already achieved something rather special that I can’t stop talking about.24. What is the author’s purpose in joining in the marathon?A. To earn a reputation.B. To challenge a 40 km run.C. To raise awareness of physical exercise.D. To collect money for charity.25. What is the most important in the preparation according to the author?A. The proper training plan.B. The craziness about the marathon.C. The donation around the marathon.D. The gradual change in the running distance.26. What did the author think of the marathon?A. It’s troublesome.B. It’s disordered.C. It’s exhausting.D. It’s inspiring.27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author has decided to enter for the 2018 London Marathon.B. The author will take part in other marathons all around the world.C. The author regards the marathon experience as one of his proudest.D. The author thinks one marathon is enough for a person to take pride of.CRecycling programs usually give new life to materials like paper, metal, plastic and glass. But a program in the eastern America is recycling shellfish to help the Chesapeake Bay.Oysters(牡蛎) is known to help clean the water. Besides, generation upon generation of oysters form reefs, which provide homes for fish and crabs.Oysters are a tradition in the Chesapeake. They are good for the bay. But environmental damage and too much harvesting have cut the oyster population there.An organization called the Oyster Recovery Partnership started the recycling program earlier this year. Baby oysters need to attach themselves to a shell or other hard surface as they grow. Scientists are using recycled shells as part of an oyster reproduction(繁殖) program. More than 15 restaurants, seafood dealers and other businesses have joined the Oyster Recovery Partnership. Maryland and Virginia are also taking part in the program.One of the restaurants involved is in Washington. Oysters are a specialty at the Old Ebbitt Grill. Its manager Christian Guidi says they serve about 1,500 to 3,000 oysters a day and that obviously does create a lot of shells.But the restaurant no longer throws away all those shells. The Oyster Recovery Partnership takes them away for recycling.First the shells get washed. Then they go to the Center for Environmental Science at the University of Maryland for further processing.The shells are placed in tanks with hundreds of millions of oyster lavae(幼体). In this way, the baby oysters can be raised until they have grown big enough to be moved to the Chesapeake.This year, the Oyster Recovery Partnership helped produce and plant more than 450 million baby oysters in the bay.Don Meritt heads the oyster recovery program at the University of Maryland. He says the goal is not just to increase the oyster population. Their real goal is to try to restore healthy oysters to the Chesapeake Bay so that they can help restore a healthy Chesapeake Bay.28. What causes the number of oysters to drop in the Chesapeake Bay?A. Too much rain.B. Water pollution.B. Hot weather D. Overfishing.29. What did the Old Ebbitt Grill do with the shells in the past?A. It collected all the shells.B. It threw the shells away.C. It sold the shells as waste.D. It poured the shells into the sea.30. Why are shells placed in tanks with oyster larae?A. To help them to grow.B. To provide more nutrition.C. To make the tank like sea.D. To serve as homes for them.31. What can we learn from the text?A. Recycled shells can improve the environment.B. The number of oysters has increased in the bay.C. The oysters are popular in cities like Washington.D. The oyster recovery program needs more support.DHuman beings enjoyed a double treat in January with the appearance of two supermoons. The first one rose onthe night of New Year’s Day. The second came on the last night of the month, topping off with a lunar eclipse(月食). That is the end of trilogy(三部曲) of big moon treats that began on Dec.3, 2017 with a full cold moon. The January.1 supermoon was the biggest of the year. The moon appeared to be oversized for a few nights after that, though it was no longer a full moon.A supermoon is a full moon that appears at the perigee(近地点), the closest point in the moon’s orbit to the Earth, about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moons that appear at the apogee, the farthest point in the orbit. Supermoons, hanging around all night, are easy to see and are not damaging the eyes, no matter how long you gaze at the moon.For those still talking about a hangover on the night of Jan.1, an even more charming supermoon rose on the night of Jan. 31. That was the second full moon of the month, which is usually called a ―blue moon‖ because a double full--moon month occurs essentially once in a supermoon — about every two and a half years. A blue moon is even rarer when it’s a supermoon. But that wasn’t the only rarity that night. The super blue moon also occurred during a total lunar eclipse. Because skies were clear, the total eclipse was visible from eastern Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western North America.Lunar eclipses make moons appear blood red because of the way the blocked sunlight bends, when the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun’s light from reflecting the moon. So many people witnessed the super blood moon during the night of the lunar eclipse. To get the full effect of the lunar eclipse, watch at moonset.32. What can we learn about the Jan. 31 supermoon from the text?A. It was a super blue moon.B. It began with a lunar eclipse.C. It was observed all over the world.D. It was the biggest moon of the year.33. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?A. The supermoon’s origin.B. The supermoon’s definition.C. The supermoon’s function.D. The supermoon’s identity.34. Why does the moon look red during the lunar eclipse?A. Because of the angle of the sunshine.B. Because the sky is filled with dark clouds.C. Because Pacific Ocean reflects the moonlight.D. Because sunlight can’t reach the moon directly.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Double New Year Supermoons.B. The definition of a Supermoon.C. Supermoons with a Lunar Eclipse.D. The Rarity of the Blue Supermoon.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。

Gone with the Wind：A Huge Success．B. Margaret Mitchell：A Great Female Writer．C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House．D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】B 【小题3】C 【小题4】D【解析】24．C 细节理解题．根据句子tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War．讲述美国内战期间的爱情与生存故事．所以答案选C．25．B 词义猜测题．根据第二段She was only about one and a half meters tall．The young men tower over her，可知，她比较矮，这些男孩都超过她的身高．故答案为26．C推理判断题．根据最后一段可知，她在读了很多书后，开始了写作．所以B项正确．27．D 主旨大意题．本文主要讲述了作者对Margaret Mitchell故居的参观过程中的所见所闻所想．本文通过作者对《飘》作者Margaret Mitchell故居的参观，讲述Margaret Mitchell生前的相关事迹．故事类文章在阅读过程中，我们一直在某个线索的引导下，随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松．命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力．阅读故事类文章时，应注意把握主旨大意，弄清主要情节，立足文章的内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据文章的情节展开合理的想象，从而达到解题的目的．CEvery day，hundreds of thousands of us visit coffee shops．While we drink our coffee，we may connect our smartphone to the shop's Wi-Fi network，and keep in touch with friends via services such as Facebook．As well as socializing，we may use the time and free access to a wireless connection to get ontop of our finances．Transferring money from your account to others'accounts is nothing more than a few taps on your screen．But what coffee drinkers do not realize is that lurking（潜伏）among their fellow coffee-lovers are bank robbers．Unknown to you，this modern form of bank robber is silently collecting all your private data．The only sign of his thievery is perhaps a little smile as your bank log-in details appear on his screen．You'll only realize when you later go to a cash machine to withdrawsome money，and discover that every penny in your account has been cleared out．The common method for thieves is to use your smartphone's Wi-Fi connection．They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the security of networks we connect to．For example，when you are in a coffee shop，your smartphone will present you with a list of available Wi-Fi networks that you can use to connect your phone to the Internet．Most of these networks are run by legitimate（合法的）companies，but sometimes they are actually created by a thief sitting nearby with little more than a laptop．These networks are often given names，such as"Free Public Wi-Fi"，which deceive smartphone users into logging in．On the surface，everything seems normal，and you will be able to connect just as you are with a legitimate Wi-Fi service．However，because you have connected to a network controlled by a thief，he can monitor （监视）everything you do，enabling him to collect passwords and log-in details about your bank account．28.The underlined phrase"get on top of"can be replaced by ______ ．A. deal withB. give upC. cut offD. set up29.What can we learn from the passage？______A. Transferring money from your account to others'is a complex process．B. It's easy for you to tell bank robbers from other coffee drinkers．C. Online thieves could steal money because people pay little attention on the networksecurity．D. All the networks available in a coffee shop are illegal．30.What's the author's attitude towards Wi-Fi traps？______A. Positive．B. Negative．C. Objective．D. Indifferent．31.What's the best title of this passage？______A. Be cautiousabout free Wi-Fi networks．B. The thief who withdraws our money．C. The convenience of free Wi-Fi networks．D. The process of stealing money．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】C 【小题3】C 【小题4】A【解析】28．A 词意猜测题．根据第二段的句子Transferring money from your account to others'accounts．把钱从你的账户转到别人的账户上可知get on top of 的意思应该与deal with 意思相符，所以答案选A．29．C 细节理解题．根据第六段句子They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the security of networks we connect to．他们依赖这样一个事实，即我们大多数人对我们所连接的网络的安全性并不十分谨慎．所以答案选C．30．C 态度判断题．根据全文内容可知，作者只是在客观地描述免费WI-Fi，所以答案是objective"客观的"．所以答案选C．31．A 标题判断题．本文作者主要描述的是免费WiFi的陷阱，详细的描述了免费WiFi 是如何让人进入陷阱上当受骗的，所以意在警告人们对于免费的WiFi一定要谨慎．所以答案选A．在科技飞速反展的今天，利用高科技犯罪的事件层出不穷．本文提到的是WiFi陷阱值得注意．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．DA current topic of debate is the amount of support and services we are willing to provide for disabled people．Many people believe that society has become more caring over the old．However，if we look back in time，this may not prove to be true．A good example can be found by looking at some remains（遗骸）of a prehistoric culture．Several skeletons（骨架）were found in the Shanidar Cave in Iraq．It was the home of a tribe （部落）of Neanderthals who existed more than 40 000 years ago．One of these skeletons was a man about 40years old，an old age for that period．He is thought to have been killed by a falling stone．Careful study of the bones has shown that the man's right arm had never fully developed and had been cut off below the elbow（肘）．The condition of the teeth was also unlike that of other Neanderthal men's．They showed signs of excessive（过多）use，as if they had been used to make up for the lack of a right arm．How could someone so disabled from his earliest years have survived to become an adult，and even live on to old age？Societies in such early times faced severe conditions．People who could hunt for meat were few．A disabled person must have needed to keep close to the cave and been provided with meat．In fact，more care were shown towards this disabled man during that time，which suggests that the ancient people did better in caring their disabled people than we do in present-day societies．Such concern indicates a sense of unity（团结）and cooperation that made possible the future achievements of humanity．With this in mind，are we doing enough for the disabled？Rather than being too proud of the efforts that modern society has made，it would be wise to consider if we even equal the efforts of the old societies．32.Considering the remains of this prehistoric culture makes us ______ ．A. believe that society has become more caring over timeB. look back at Iraq history with admirationC. question if society has become more concerned about the disabledD. want to give more support to primitive societies33.The man could live until such an old age because ______ ．A. he could use his teeth very wellB. he didn't have to do any huntingC. he was taken good care ofD. the environment was excellent34.The example of this ancient tribe suggests that ______ ．A. everyone could take part in most of the hunting activitiesB. it was easy to find enough meat to feed everybodyC. life was not as difficult as modern man may thinkD. they had greater care for human life than people commonly think35.The author believes that true civilization is achieved ______ ．A. by looking to the future achievements of humanityB. by modern people taking pride in their accomplishmentsC. by supporting and taking care of all its membersD. only when we show proper concern for people living in the ancient time．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】C【解析】32．C，细节理解题，根据句子A current topic of debate is the amount of support and services we are willing to provide for disabled people可知，对史前的遗骸进行研究目的在于质疑社会是否更关爱残疾人，故答案为C．33．C，推理判断题，根据句子In fact，more care were shown towards this disabled man during that time，which suggests that the ancient people did better in caring their disabled people than we do in present-day societies．可知，古代的人在照顾残疾人方面比我们做得好，可见这个人活到40岁的高龄是因为别人照顾得好，故答案为C．34．D，推理判断题，根据第一段Many people believe that society has become more caring over the old和In fact，more care were shown towards this disabled man during that time，which suggests that the ancient people did better in caring their disabled people than we do in present-day societies，很多人认为现在的社会变得更照顾老人，然而通过以前部落的这个例子证明，似乎以前的人更懂得关爱社会上的人，故答案为D．35．C，推理判断题，根据句子Such concern indicates a sense of unity（团结）and cooperation that made possible the future achievements of humanity．可以推测文明的获得是通过团结和合作，通过支持和照顾社会上的人，故答案为C．短文主要通过研究古时候部落残骸来表明，并不是现代人就比古代人把老人或残疾人照顾得更好．解答任务型阅读理解题，首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．三、信息匹配（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Homework is a major part of going to school：It's your teachers'way of evaluating（评价）how much you understand of what's going on in class．（36）______ Luckily，you can do a few things to make homework less work．Be sure you understand the homework．Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to．（37）______ It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!Use any extra time in school．Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study．It's tempting（诱惑）to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured（松散的）time．（38）______Take a break．（39）______ So take some breaks while doing your homework．Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often．Taking a 15 minute break every hour is a good idea for most people．（40）______If you don't finish your homework during school，think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day，and then budget your time．Most highschool students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night．If it's a heavy homework day and you've got an assignment in every subject，you'll need to devote more time to homework．It's a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule，especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an afterschool job．A．Make a homework schedule．B．Settle down to do homework．C．And it helps digest important concepts．D．Most people's attention spans （跨度）aren't very long．E．Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's unknown．F．Once your homework is done，you can check over it if you have extra time．G．But the more work you can get done in school，the less you'll have to do that night．36. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E37. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E38. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E39. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E40. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】E 【小题3】G 【小题4】D 【小题5】A 【解析】36 C 细节题．根据空格前的句子"It's your teachers'way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class．"可知家庭作业的作用是老师评估你在课堂上理解知识的程度；所以此处应该继续讲家庭作业的作用．37 E 细节题．根据本段主题句"Be sure you understand the homework．"以及空格后的句子"It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!"可知，要理解家庭作业；不要害怕问家庭作业里你不会的地方．38 G 推理题．本句所在段落的主题句是"Use any extra time in school．"，即"利用你在学校任何的多余时间"；可知，"你在学校做的工作越多，你晚上必须完成的越少"符合语境．39 D 细节题．根据空格后的句子"So take some breaks while doing your homework．Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often．"可知，在做作业的时候休息一下，如果坐得太久不休息，效率就会降低．因此此处应该说到，大多数人的注意力集中的时间不是很长．40 A 主旨题．本空是最后一段的主题句，所以是对最后一段内容的总结．本段主要讲的是把自己的家庭作业有计划的分配，制作一个时间表．所以"规划自己（的时间）"符合语境．本文主要讲述了如果你的作业太多，你可以试试如下的办法：1．确保自己知道要做什么作业；2．争取在学校完成；3．注意作业的时间一次不要太长；4．会自我调节．解答选句填空时应结合原文和选项有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．四、完成句子（本大题共1小题，共5.0分）st weekend our school held a sports meeting．（61）______ （realize）it was our lastsports meeting in high school，we decided to make it an unforgettable experience for all of us．We first attended the opening
