【題目】 A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles (踝關(guān)節(jié)) was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run and hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later told 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. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. It was a test of wills.

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (出汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

The next day, the Marathon started.

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.

By mile 21, I was quite hungry. As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.

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 guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗標簽). I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

1A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

A.was well trainedB.felt excitedC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope

2Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?

A.To show the support of his teacher.B.To tell the readers a funny story.

C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a valuable memory.

3How was the author's first marathon?

A.He made it.B.He stopped halfway.

C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.

4What does the story mainly tell us?

A.A man ones his success to his family support.

B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C.Failure is the mother of success.

D.Soon learn, soon forgotten.

【解析】

本文為一篇記敘文。講述了自己第一次跑馬拉松,憑借自己的意志力成功跑完全程的勵志故事。

1

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句“Yet, I decided to go ahead.”可知,馬拉松賽前一個月盡管作者腳踝受傷使得訓練時間縮短,但作者仍下定決心參賽。故選C

2

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“I didn't do either well. He later told me that I was ‘not athletic’.”可知,作者提到七年級的事情是為了證明自己真的沒有運動天賦。故選C。

3

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗標簽). I can now call myself a ‘marathon winner’.”可知,作者堅持到了最后,而且得到了一塊獎牌,雖然不是第一名,由此可見他成功地跑完了馬拉松。故選A。

4

主旨大意題。A:一個男人把他的成功歸功于家庭的支持。B:成功者是一個有很大決心的人。C:失敗是成功之母。D:學得快,忘得快。通讀全文可知,作者在講述自己跑馬拉松的經(jīng)歷,再根據(jù)最后一段“Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗標簽). I can now call myself a ‘marathon winner’.”可知,作者成功跑完馬拉松源于自己的意志。故選B。

【題目】 There are only three important days in everyone’s life and two of them are the ones that you don't need to worry about. Serigne Fallou Mbacke, a man of God, who lived in Senegal (West Africa) between 1888 and 1968, used to say, “The day is today, it is the only day, the past is gone and will never come back and the future belongs to God.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1811—1896, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, once said almost the same thing, “The past, the present, and the future are really one: they are today.”

We all know that many people spend one half of their days regretting for the past, and the other half worrying about the future, leaving no time to enjoy the present when everything happens. How can such people get ahead in life? People all over the world have made countless discussions on the subject but it does not seem to make a difference. Most of us are still everywhere but in the present.

As the saying goes, if you do what everybody does, you will get what everybody gets! Make a difference, and live in the present. It will help you achieve more, become a better person and live a happier life, a life without worries.

Today is all you have. There is no guarantee ( 保證 )that you will live to see tomorrow and there is not a thing you can change about the past. Dennis Waitley who is a speaker and author puts it so beautifully in one of his books: The past is a cancelled check, the future is a promissory note ( 期 票 ), but the present, the present is liquid cash.

Always remember that today is a gift and that is the reason why it is called the present.

1Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.The future belongs to God.B.No one can change the past.

C.Living in today will help you achieve more.D.We are sure that we will live to see tomorrow.

2Who described the three important days as "check, note and cash"?

A.The writer.B.Serigne Fallou Mbacke.

C.Harriet Beecher Stowe.D.Dennis Waitley.

3Why is today called the present according to the passage?

A.Because today is a gift.

B.Because people are always worrying about today.

C.Because people are always' worrying about the future.

D.Because people have made countless discussions on the subject.

4Which of the following words can best describe the author's attitude towards "today"?

A.Unconcerned.B.Negative.C.Favorable.D.Doubtful.
