the last couple of days near the road,I might have just lain down and called it quits.What in the world was I thinking,dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow?No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months,and I wasnt about to give up so easily.The first few miles were beautiful.Ten miles in,I started sucking wind.Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead.By twenty miles,my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank.That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me.I knew I couldnt quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesnt mean that you stop doing it.I had to live what Id been preaching(说教).That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week.My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride.That day was cold as well.She was the youngest rider.About four miles into the ride,she started feeling cold.The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle.By six miles,she had tears running down her face.It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didnt have to finish.She said that she wouldnt quit.I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before,but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it,too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless.She threw her arms around me and said,“You didnt quit,Mommy,so neither did I.”1.What motivated the author to finish her ride?A.Her familys encouragement.B.Her own instruction for children.C.The beautiful scenery and weather.D.The careful and thorough preparation.2.By describing the conditions Emalee met,the author wanted to_.A.show her guilt for her daughter B.prove that riding is a tough task C.persuade her daughter to give up D.indicate she was proud of Emalee 3.What does the author want to tell us according to the story?A.Never say die.B.Do nothing by halves.C.Children are what the mothers are.D.Every mothers child is handsome.B The modern Olympics,which appeared in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago,have become the worlds most important sporting competition.From the 8th century B.C.to the 4th century A.D.,the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus.The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens,and featured 280 participants from 13 nations,competing in 43 events.Since 1994,the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years.The 2020 Summer Olympics,delayed one year because of the COVID-19,was held in Japan in 2021.The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus.The Games were named for their location(位置)at Olympia,a place near the western coast in southern Greece.Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic Games held every four years.After the Roman Empire conquered(征服)Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C.,the Games continued,but their standards and quality dropped.For example from 67 A.D.,the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race,announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event.In 393 A.D.,Emperor Theodosiusended the ancient Olympic tradition.It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again,largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin(1863-1937)of France.Working hard at the development of physical education,the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building.In November 1892,at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athltiques in Paris,Coubertin suggested the idea of making the Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years.Two years later,he got the approval(批准)he needed to found the International Olympic Committee(IOC),which would become the governing body of the modern Olympic Games.4.What do we know about the modern Olympics?A.The modern Olympics became famous in the 18th century.B.The first Winter Olympics was held in 1994.C.The first modern Olympics dates back to 1896.D.The latest Winter Olympics will delay for two years.5.How often were the ancient Olympics held?A.Every year.B.Every other year.C.Every three years.D.Every four years.6.When did the ancient Olympics end?A.In 393 A.D.B.In 67 A.D.C.In the mid-2nd century B.C.D.About 1,500 years ago.7.What is the best title of the text?A.The ancient Olympics B.The modern Olympics C.The Olympics developed through years D.The Olympics are popular in modern time C Last summer,I spent four months working in France,where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didnt have Wi-Fi.I wasnt looking forward to it.I soon discovered,however,that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there.I couldnt enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer,social media sites,keeping up to date with the news,or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.I didnt,however,spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network.It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure.It made me think,though,how unnecessary it can be,how unnecessarily we rely on ithow we perhaps rely on it too much.As a person,I was more sociable.I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen.I did other things that I wouldnt necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure.I read more,I cooked meals for my friends,and I even tidied up more often.Dare I say it;I learned how to live without Wi-Fi.Dare I say it;I found it was easier than I had imagined.8.What was the writers first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi?A.Unexpected.B.Angry.C.Shocked.D.Depressed.9.How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi?A.By writing regularly.B.By text message.C.By video calls.D.By telegram.10.What was the writers life like without Wi-Fi?A.Dull.B.Lonely.C.Active.D.Relaxing.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A life without Wi-Fi B.Different views on the Internet C.The disadvantages of Wi-Fi D.How to use the Internet D I had just delivered a memorable speech,and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance.The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room.I felt the drum rolled in my heart.The third-place winner was announced.The name was not mine.Then the second-place winner,still not me.At last,the moment of truth came.I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months preparation.My heart felt closer to the latter.Losing is a part of life,and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion.However,it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip,get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning,and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,he said,“I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe.I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.”Oh yeah,I could relate.I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest.After not placing in the first year of the contest,I really wanted to compete again.Lincoln had many failures,but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition,so I was not going to give up on a second contest!I reworked my speech for the following year,but again I did not place.I couldnt accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on,until I thought about my hero.Never mind the lost prize money and praisethrough learning stories about Lincoln,I discovered that I can fail successfully.12.How did the author feel after finishing his speech?A.Delighted.B.Annoyed.C.Thrilled.D.Nervous.13.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.B.He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.C.He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.D.He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.14.Why did the author decide to enter the second contest?A.He was eager to prove himself to be the best contestant.B.He was inspired by the never-give-up spirit of Lincoln.C.He was willing to enjoy the warmth and joy of victory.D.He was determined to win the prize money and praise.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A memorable hero in my life B.Never mind others judgments C.Losing is an indescribable feeling D.Stand up from where we tripped over 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Steps for Taking Control of Your
