It was the day of the big marathon. I had decided three years ago to train for the half-marathon event and take home a medal. T
19、here I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line. It was just another in a long string (串) of failures. I had never met a single weight loss or fitness goal and I was majoring in the art of failing.We are a family of exploration and often plan active vacations. It seemed t
20、hat on every vacation I was the one who couldnt go the distance. Each time I urged (催促) my family, “Go without me. Bring me lots of pictures and videos. Ill be fine just sitting here taking in the view. I lied. Sick of being blind, I decided that it would never happen again. Surely I was in my 50s,
21、but surely there was still hope for me. I always spent weeks walking to prepare for our active vacations. I had lost weight many times. I just always seemed to fail to get where I needed to be.But this time I would do something different. I was going to walk a half marathon. Surely I would lose weig
22、ht and get in shape if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours. Besides, this would be training. Training sounded cooler than diet and exercise. I was revved up and ready to go. I bought the proper gear (装备), checked out what type of drinks would be handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot
23、. I had a plan!Now two years later, there I sat, watching thousands of people of all ages succeed where I had failed. I walked out, angry with myself, sat down and had myself a pity party. I was a master at the art of pity parties, having a great deal of experience in holding them. What was my probl
24、em? Where was I going wrong? I stopped and considered each failure, one by one. I made some very interesting discoveries.I had failed to climb to the top of that Mayan pyramid, but I did climb it and stood on those ancient stones.1 had failed to meet a single weight loss goal and yet I had lost 43 p
25、ounds. I couldnt walk 12 miles in four hours, but I could walk 12 miles.All my failures were sounding like a success story. This time was giving thanks. I was thankful that I had been given the spirit of failure because failure meant that I was trying, that I didnt give up. I decided that I would be
26、 crossing the finish line next year.28What can you learn from the passage?AThe writer didnt lose any weight in the end.BThe writer didnt climb the Mayan pyramid.CThe writer didnt take part in the big marathon.DThe writer didnt have holidays with his family.29What does the underlined sentence “I was
27、revved up.” probably mean?AI got excited.BI felt moved.CI was pushed.DI was chosen.30Which words can best describe the writer in the passage?AClever and friendly.BInteresting and proud.CHumorous and hopeful.DKind and strong-willed.Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when he arrived in this har
28、d world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and tried hard to start breathing.Oliver had his first fight without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other wa
29、s a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Olivers survival. _.However, Oliver finally drew his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow(枕头) and said, “Let me see the
30、 child, and die.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. “You must not talk about dying yet,” he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then looked wildly around the room, fell backand died. “Poor
31、dear!” said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The baby is weak and will probably be in danger,” he said. “If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman. “The mother was a goo
32、d-looking girl. Where did she come from?” “ She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Shed walked some distance, Her shoes were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the gi
33、rls left hand. “The old story,” he said sadly, shaking his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar (乞丐). But when the woman dressed him later in har
34、d cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he wasan orphan (孤儿) in a workhouse, ready for a life of sadness, hunger, and neglect (忽略).Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.31According to the passage, a
35、workhouse was where _.Aworkers helped each otherBmany women died unexpectedlyCthe poor and homeless livedDpeople were only interested in money32Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?ABeing afraid of the two, he started to cry.BTherefore, he felt very lonely in the world.CIn fa
36、ct, the world was privileged to have him in it.DAfter all, death was a common event in the workhouse.33Which of the following is true according to the passage?AOliver was born into the world on a cold day.BThe children in the baby farm were taken good care of.CDoctors were usually paid too little fo
37、r the work they did.DMany people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.Many of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate (集中) the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects (有益效果) on creativity. When it com
38、es to other areas of performance, however, the influence of background music is more complicated (复杂的).The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial is probably based on the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation (空间旋转) perfornance is increased
39、 immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a fact called the irrelevant sound effect (无关声音效应). To study irrelevant sound effect, volunteers in the research ar
40、e asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring (忽视) any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its obs
41、ervation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal (复述) abilities; and second, the sound must include acoustical (声学的) change. Where the sound does not change much, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itsel
42、f comes from trying to deal with two sources of ordered information at the same time one from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in making sure that irrelevant order information from the sound is not dea
43、lt with actually prevents this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words from the task and the sound are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What th
44、is all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or prevents performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.34“Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.Aexplain how music can rela
45、x peopleBshow music can improve performanceCadvise people to listen to Mozart musicDstress Mozart music gains wide attention35It can be inferred that volunteers in the research _.Ahave improved their rehearsal abilityBperform better in the quiet conditionsCignore the background noise successfullyDpr
46、efer the music with great sound change36Paragraph 6 is written to _.Asupport an ideaBmake a comparisonCintroduce a topicDdescribe a fact37What is the best title for the passage?AMusic shapes your life.BMusic develops your creativity.CChoose quiet music for your work.DDoes music make you concentrate?四、根据汉语提示填空38It was his _ (寂静) that made me so stressed. I had no idea what he would say.39The exciting match _ (对抗) the German team will be covered live on Channel 5.40To ensure your _ (保险), youd better not hang out alone at night i
