Chen started his journey from Guangzhou in southern China on April 2 and is set to end his odyssey in Beijing on July 10.Chen, a former fisherman, wants to prove that persistence(毅力)is the only way to success.“After winning a couple of stamina(耐力）competitions, I believe that I could make it to the end no matter how long the distance is,” he said.Chen has been going through a lot during his childhood. In order to ease off the burden for his family, he went into fishing business right after graduation from primary school. “At that time, my dream was to become a stockholder to share the fish with other fishermen,” Chen recalled.However, a competition became a turning point, changing the direction of life.“I finished first with 438 push-ups（俯卧撑）in the competition, and from then on, I started to take part in all kinds of competitions and I found my advantage in stamina,” he said.In 2009, Chen came to realize that competition was not only about money after accomplishing an endurance race.“I saw the national flag flying from the hotel as soon as I arrived there, which touched me a lot, and I came up with an idea to race seven continents.”The new motivation pushed Chen to show up in ultra marathons frequently. In 2014, after 100km in south pole, Chen realized his dream of competing in ultra-marathon in all seven continents. Moreover, he is the first man to accomplish such a magnificent feat.“Both seven continents and 100-day are my milestone, only after bitter challenges can you really taste what is sweet,” he said.25.

The front of the shirt said, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” That phrase has really resonated (产生共鸣) with me and has increasingly pushed me in many areas of my life so much that I really want 2018 to be a year when I challenge my comfort zone like never before. I believe the best things in life come from stretching ourselves and getting uncomfortable.Take health and fitness, for example. It is so deliciously tempting (诱人的) to sit on the sofa and watch a favorite Netflix series with a favorite sweet or salty snack in hand. That is comfortable, and physically unhealthy when done repeatedly. A good heart-pounding, sweaty workout is uncomfortable in the moment, and physically and emotional strengthening when done repeatedly. Heres another example. My wife and I adopted a boy with Down syndrome in April 2016 to add to our family of three sons. It was a decision that we cautiously made and with some level of fear and wonder as to what would happen. While we are still very early in this lifetime journey with him and while the past nearly two years have been more challenging and harder than we certainly imagined, I have personally never felt so much peace, joy and energy. In the many sacrifices (牺牲) required to raise our wonderful son, I believe I have found so much more that would have otherwise been possible. My goal is to stretch my comfort zone in all that I do as a husband, father, family member, and employee. We only live once and it will be done before we know it. I want to make as much difference as I can in the time that I have here before it all ends. And I really believe that begins with pushing past my comfort zone. Perhaps you should challenge yourself to get uncomfortable and see where the adventure takes you. 29. What inspired the author to challenge his comfort zone? A. Being an adoption fundraiser. B. Some words on a shirt. C. Being physically unhealthy. D. The coming of 2018. 30. The author holds the view that his adopted son _.A. makes him happy and energetic B. seldom brings trouble to his family C. sets a good example for his other sons D. hardly affects his lifetime journey 31. What does the author probably advise readers to do? A. Treasure your comfortable zone. B. Relax yourself by watching TV. C. Solve problems by yourself. D. Risk living an uncomfortable life. 32. How does the author mainly develop the text? A. By setting down general rules. B. By making comparisons. C. By giving examples. D. By presenting research findings.D When I was younger, I was extremely interested in fresh water biology and spent most of my time digging about in pools and rivers, catching minute creatures and keeping them in large jars (罐子). Among other things, I had one jar full of caddis larvae (石蚕蚕幼虫）, which hide themselves by decorating their cocoons (茧). The caddis I had collected looked rather dull, for I had collected them from dead pool. They had merely decorated the outside of their cocoons with little bits of dead water plants.I had been told by my friend, however, that if you remove a caddis larva from its cocoon and place it in a jar of clean water, it would make a new cocoon and decorate the outside with whatever materials you supplied. Deciding to experiment, I removed four of my caddis larvae from their cocoons. Then I placed them in a jar of clean water and lined the bottom with tiny seashells. Later, to my astonishment, the larvae had decorated the new cocoons with seashells.I discovered that by moving the larvae to a different jar with a new material, they would produce new colorful cocoons. My greatest victory lay in forcing them to decorate their cocoons with tiny pieces of blue glass, then red brick, and then white seashells. What is more, the materials were put on in stripes (条纹).I never remember feeling quite the same sort of satisfaction as I did when I showed off my red, white, and blue caddis larvae to my friends. I think the poor creatures were really rather relieved when they hatched(孵化) and flew away and could forget about the problems of cocoon building.33. What is the best title for the text?A. Cocoon-building insectsB. Life cycle of caddis larvaeC. My colorful cocoonsD. My interest in biology34. Why did the author describe the caddis larvae as “rather dull”?A. They didn t have colorful wingsB. They were always quiet and stillC. They were crowded together in one jarD. They covered their cocoons with dead plants35. How did the author cause the larvae to decorate their cocoons with stripes?A. By mixing several different materials together in the same jar.B. By adding new materials to the jar during the cocoon-building process.C. By changing their environment at various stages of cocoon development.D By changing the water in the jar frequently while they built their cocoons.36. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?A. What he did disturbed the larvae.B. The experiment was hard work.C. He soon lost interest in the larvae.D. He hated the attention he received. 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 who are blind rely on a dog to help with daily activities.
