Yet,I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed 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, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋带） became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!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. Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23,I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m.or questioned my expenses on running.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 one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels（世俗标签）, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.4.

They also felt hungrier.When sleep was restricted，dieters produced higher levels of ghrelin, a hormone（荷尔蒙）that activates hunger and reduces energy consumption.“If your goal is to lose fat, skipping sleep is like putting sticks in your bicycle wheels,"said Penev,” in our study it reduced fat loss by 55 percent.The researchers followed 10 overweight volunteers.Participants were placed on an individualized,balanced diet,with calories restricted to 90 percent of what each needed to maintain his or her weight without exercise.Each participant was studied twice:once for 14 days in the laboratory with an 8.5 hours for sleep,and once for 14 days with only 5.5 hours for sleep.They spent their waking hours engaged in work.The volunteers lost an average of 6.6 pounds during each 14-day session,During weeks with adequate sleep, average of 1.3 pounds of fat and 5.3 pounds of fat-free mass.Getting adequate sleep helped control the dieters' hunger.Average levels of ghrelin did not change when dieters spent 8.5 hours in bed.When they spent 5.5 hours in bed,their ghrelin levels rose.“Higher ghrelin levels can reduce energy consumption,cause hunger and food intake, and promote maintenance（保持）of fat, ” the director notes.“The message for people trying to lose weight is clear,” Penev said.“We have evidence that the amount of sleep makes a big difference on the results of dietary interventions.”8.What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. Dieters who get enough sleep can lose more fat.B. Dieters who get enough sleep may lose less weight.C. Dieters who sleep less than normal hours tend to work out more.D. Dieters who sleep less than normal hours have lower levels of ghrelin.9.

What can be the best title for the passage?A.Sleep Loss Limits Fat LossB.Sleep Loss and Weight LossC. Ghrelin Is the Key to Fat Loss D.Sleep Loss Restricts Hormones Function DThese days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses,factories and offices.Green buildings mean “reducing the impact（影响）of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S.Green Building Council in Washington, D.C., said.According to Holowka,buildings account for 65 percent of total U. S. electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also,the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land. so that the buildings dont destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high-rise building.According to Dettling,“We've reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels（太阳 能电池板）which change the suns energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition,the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it. Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources.Anyhow, Holowka said,“Its going to be big.”12. What do the underlined words “the building”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. An ordinary building. B.An energy-saving building.C.1a green-colored building D. A building in Washington D. C.13. Where does a green building be often built?A. The land which has thick forests around.B. The land where people of high income live. C. The land which has already been used for buildings. D. Green buildings will take the place of traditional buildings.14. What can we infer from Holowkas statement in the last paragraph?A. Green buildings will be more comfortable.B. Green building will become popular in future.C. Green building will be more environmentally friendly.D.Green buildings will take the place of traditional buildings.15. What is the main subject discussed in the text?A Green buildings help save environment.B. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.C. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.D. Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.

But I finished！”可知，作者跑完了这次马拉松。故选A项。7.C 主旨大意题。由作者对自己跑马拉松情况的叙述可知，对于一位脚踝有伤、不具有运动天赋的人来说去跑马拉松，所面临的挑战可想而知，但作者不畏艰难，凭着强大的意志力，最后成功跑到终点，显然与C项“一位具有强大意志力的获胜者”相吻合。（C）本文介绍了一项研究成果：如果要减肥，最好的方法是通过饮食干预与充足睡眠相结合。8.A 推理判断题。第一段主要讲的就是有充足的睡眠的人减去的脂肪要比睡眠不足的人多。9.D 推理判断题。从文章第五段可知，在这28天的测试中，平均每人减掉的fat-free mass（不含脂肪的物质）是3.55.38.8磅。10.C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Higher ghrelin levelscan.promote maintenance of fat”可知C项正确。11.A 主旨大意题。本文主要阐述的就是睡眠对减肥的影响，因此只能选A项作为标题。（D）本文介绍的是绿色建筑。绿色建筑能最大限度地节约资源，保护环境以及减少污染，为人们提供健康和高效的使用空间。12.A 推理判断题。由第一段第二句“Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories and offices.”可知，绿 色建筑也可以指的是环保型的房子，工厂和办公楼，而第二段首句指出绿色建筑就是要减少 the building所造成的（不良）影响，由此可推断这里的the building就是指普通的建筑，故选A项。13.C细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“Green building are often built on developed land,so that the buildings don't destroy forests.” 可知，绿色建筑通常建在已经开发过的土地上，以便不再毁坏森林，选项C正确。其它三项在文章并未提及。14.B 推理判断题。“Its going to be big.”从字面上理解是“它（绿色建筑）将会变大”，文章花了大篇幅讲了绿色建筑的优点，再根据文章最后一句Anyhow所表达的逻辑关系进行推理，从长远来看，绿色建筑具有很大的潜能，在未来将会得到普及和流行，故选B项。15.A 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了绿色建筑的概念，接着分段介绍绿色建筑的优点，最后一段介绍其前景，而本文主要谈论的主题是“绿色建筑有助于环保，节能”，即A项“绿色建筑有利于保护环境”。第二节作者围绕提高生活阐述了积极行动的重要性和必要性，同时批判了消极、不思进取和满足现状等负面思想。作者建议读者积极行动，从而使生活能真正有所改变。16.

D 由后句“Dont expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it.（别指望运气会改变，除非你对其有所行动。）”可知，如果你的生活并不如意，不要只说：“总有一天情况会好转的。”，要积极行动，故选D项。19.G 由文中前文的“Of course not！”的描述可知，看到别人陷入麻烦，只是希望和祈祷事情好转起来是没有用的，“你应该尽你所能去解救这个人”，故选G项。20.E 由“So it is with your own life.”可知，此处转到了对自己生活的描述；再由前句“In other words, dont just stand or sit there.”可知，不要袖手旁观，要行动起来改善你的生活，故选E项。10学科网（北京）股份有限公司
