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. There I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line. It was just another in a long string 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 with the spirit of exploration. We often plan active vacations. It seemed that on every vacation I was the one who couldn't go the distance. Each time I urged my family, zzGo on without me. Bring me lots of pictures and videos. I'll be fine just sitting here taking in the view/ I lied. Sick of being left behind, I decided that it would never happen again. As a teenager, 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 weight and get in shape if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours. Be-sides, this would be training. Training sounded cooler than diet and exercise. I was excited and ready to go. I bought the proper equipment and clothing, checked out what type of drinks would be handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot. I had a plan! 注意：1 .续写词数应为150左右；,请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。The day I expected finally came.“Come on, boy! You can make it/ a man shouted.【答案】参考范文:The day I expected finally came. When I stood at the starting line, I felt excited but a little nervous. I tried my best to follow others. After running about two kilometers, I felt tired, but I thought I could overcome it. To my disappointment, about five kilometers, I found I couldn't stick to it any more. Do I give up the game? "I asked myself. The answer was definitely a no. I slowed down so that I could feel better.“Come on, boy! You can make it/ a man shouted. I was grateful to him for his words. I went on running.Howevec I had to give up after ten kilometers because I was really out of breath. What's more, I felt sharp pain in my feet and legs. I was so upset when I got home. My dad gave me a hug and said, My boy, don't lose heart!You've done better than the last time. Keep training, and you'll succeed next time." Since then, I have kept the words in mind, and done everything with such an attitude.听力答案：1-5 BBACA 6-10 BCACA11.music 12.messages 13.French 14.problems 15.studioA. She likes challenges. B.

AA 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body.Co rones, who is qualified for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was "quite delighted" and “over the world" by the result. He said he had been overwhelmed by the "roaring" crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only entrant （新成员）,had been specifically staged for him to challenge the record.Co rones was a keen swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War II, and he didn't think he would have a swim of any description until he retired. Then he started swimming again for exercise.Racing undeniably （不可否认的）challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. On average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gym sessions. /zAt this age it takes a while to get going. you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical/ he said.Co rones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23. 10, which was also set by Harrison.'Tm not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well/ he said.4.

It's never too late to learn,He who laughs last laughs best.B. One good turn deserves another.C. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age.【答案】4. B5. A6. B7. ACNew research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment （认知损坏）may not necessarily develop dementia （痴呆）and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal.The study, led by researchers at the University of Waterloo, may reassure those with mild cognitive impairment as it contradicts a common assumption that the condition is simply an early stage of dementia. People with mild cognitive impairment show signs of cognitive decline, but not enough to prevent them from performingtypical daily tasks. They have been considered at higher risk of progressing to the more severe cognitive decline seen in dementia.''Possessing high cognitive reserve, based on education, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after someone receives a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment/ said Suzanne Tyas, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at Waterloo and lead author. Z/Even after considering age, genetics and established risk factors for dementia, we found that higher levels of education more than doubled the chances that people with mild cognitive impairment would return to normal cognition instead of progressing to dementia/The study/s findings have meanings for treatment and research in people with mild cognitive impairment.“If individuals with higher cognitive reserve are more likely to improve even without treatment, then this needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting participants for clinical trials of prospective treatments and when interpreting the results of these trials/ Tyas said, adding there/s no cure for most causes of dementia, so prevention is key.8. About mild cognitive impairment, which is consistent with the study?A. It surely results in dementia.C. It will stop people's daily action.9. How is one's cognitive reserve assessed?A Through personal income.C. Through his education.10.What is the most significant to do with dementia?A. Early prevention.C. Proper cure.11. What is the main idea of the text?B. It is an early stage of dementia.D. It doesn't surely lead to dementia.B. Through social frequency.D. Through personal relationship.B. Medical care.D. Specific medicine.A. People with cognitive impairment show cognitive decline.B. Age and genetics are established risk factors for dementia.C. A study focuses on the consequence of cognitive impairment.D. Higher education and language skills may help stop dementia.【答案】8. D9. CIO. All. DResearchers from The University of Q.ueensland(UQ) have helped design an app to protect birds at risk ofextinction across the world by breaking down language barriers between scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a "birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.UQ's Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. ''Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation/ Dr Negret said. ''Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures."Take the common bird pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species（易危种）and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds（|矣鸟）exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions. zzWe hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species/ Dr Negret said.Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. zzAny species, whether they're mammals, amphibians（两栖动物），or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies/ he said. "The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we're working hard to improve science communication across languages/How can the app help scientists globally?A. By creating language barriers.B. By building language bridges.C. By sharing learning methods.D. By breaking down race barriers.12. What is the function of adequate sharing of information?A. Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures.B. Helping people know more about scientists' efforts.C. Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide.D. Compromising the effectiveness of conservat
