My first marathon!

Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon, and I laughed. He laughed too,  21  he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I  22  that he didn’t believe that I could do it. That made me angry, but  23 .

On the day of the race in London, I  24  up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the  25 , while slower runners like me were  26  further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not  27  down by the amateurs(業(yè)余者).

At first, there were so many  28  close together that we were almost falling  29  each other. We could  30  run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn’t rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners  31  out and there was more space. There were thousands of people  watching us along the route and they  32  clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!

For the first 10km I felt very happy and my legs felt very  33  . However, at 15km I got a pain in my  34  and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30km  35  , I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop ,but I kept on going. I  36  an other 3km and then I began to feel better again.

When I finished 35km, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that  37  made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs  38  over the  last few kilometers. Finally I came round the last  39  and saw the finishing line. I finished the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn’t  40  ! had run 42km and completed my first marathon!

科目：高中英語 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年高考第二輪專題復(fù)習提分訓(xùn)練專題十五主旨大意英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don’t listen because they already know it all.I was lucky：Ⅰ became a pilot in 1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn’t realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather，I learned about crew resource management (機組資源管理)，or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result，regardless of positions.

I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.He was a better pilot－and my boss － so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to：Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.

CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn’t overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I’m in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”．

1.What does the author say about doctors in general?

A．They like flying by themselves.

B．They are unwilling to take advice.

C．They pretend to be good pilots.

D．They are quick learners of CRM.

2.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________.

A．he saved the plane by speaking up

B．he was in charge of a flying task

C．his boss landed the plane too late

D．his boss operated on a patient

3.In the last paragraph “l(fā)anding gear up” probably means ________.

A．following flying requirements

B．overreacting to different opinions

C．listening to what fellow doctors say

D．making a mistake that may cost lives

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying Safe

B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

C．The Making of a Good Pilot

D．A Pilot?Tumed Doctor

Dear Mrs. Winthrop,

　　So my first week at college is over! No lectures this morning so I think I’d email you and let you know what things are going.

　　I’m glad to say that anything has worked out fine in the dorm. I remember asking for a room as far away from the lifts as possible and they find me a comfortable one second floor. There are two girls from my course here and I plan to make friend with them so we can help each other on the course work. Everyone else seems very nice and warmly here.

　　Well, I had better to stop now. I’m going to attend mine first lesson this afternoon, for I’ve got some preparation to make, Keep in touch.

　　Best,

Carol

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __36__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __37__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __38__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __39__ with his homework or he was trying to __40__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __41__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __42__.”

The next day I called his teacher to __43__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __44__.

“Basically, most of the fathers had the __45__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __46__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __47__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __48__. It’s something all human beings __49__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __50__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __51__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __52__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __53__ second. And just __54__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __55__.
