and this meant not runningfor two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train.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 torun laps and then hit a softball.I didnt do either well.He later informed me that I was notathletic.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 wasathletic.lt was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!The night before my marathon,I dreamed that I couldnt even find the finish line.I woke upsweating 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 toreadjust.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 23,1 could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She neverminded 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 thesame 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（标签），I cannow call myself a marathon winner.（1）How was the authors first marathon?A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.（2）What does the story mainly tell us?A.A man owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.8.（6 分）When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice,people seem to say,but notimportant.Too often it is viewed as entertainment,but certainly not an education priority（优先）.This view is shortsighted.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for allstudents.Music tells us who we are,because music is an expression of the beings who create it,itreflects their thinking and values,as well as the social environment it came from.Rock musicrepresents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song.The jazz influence that GeorgeGershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because itcame from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.lt gives usidentity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way.Sciencecan explain how the sunrises and sets.The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of thesame phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world fbr onesimple but powerful reason：No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical andscientific symbols.They are ways we human beings talk to each other.They are the languageof civilization through which we express our fears,our curiosities,our hungers,ourdiscoveries,our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so thatthey can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way ofexpressing themselves such as music,we take away from them the meanings that musicexpresses.Science and technology do not tell us what is means to be human.The arts do.Music is animportant way we express human suffering,celebration,the meaning and value of peace andlove.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.(1)According to Paragraph 1,students.A.regard music as a way of entertainmentB.disagree with their parents on educationC.view music as an overlooked subjectD.prefer the arts to science(2)In paragraph 2,the author uses jazz as an example to.A.compare it with rock musicB.show music identifies a societyC.introduce American musical traditionsD.prove music influences peoples lifestyles(3)What is the main idea of the passage?A.Music education deserves more attention.B.Music should be of top education priority.C.Music is an effective communication tool.D.Music education makes students imaginative.9.(6 分)When it comes to friends,I desire those who will share my happiness,who possesswings of their own and who will fly with me.I seek mends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love.lt is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours,too good notto share.When I was in the eighth grade,I had a friend.We were shy and utoo serious about ourstudies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable socialbehaviors.We said little at school,but she would come to my house and we would sit downwith pencils and paper,and one of us would say：Lets start with a train whistle today.Wewould sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a trainwhistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year,we,too,were changedinto social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London,I had a friend.He was in despair(失 望)and 1 was indespair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later ifwe did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday forfive weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and thenwe parted.We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminatesmine.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears,sometimes in a funny way,in the others dreams.She and I agree that,at certain times,we seemto be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments,I often think：Yes,I musttell,We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worthmore to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist,who will only fill up the healing(愈合 的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own bestfriend.(1)In Paragraph 3,We gave London to each otherprobably means.A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB.we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC.our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD.we parted with each other in London(2)In the darkest moments,the author would prefer to.A.seek professional helpB.be left aloneC.stay with her best friendD.break the silence(3)What is the best title for the passage?A.Unforgettable ExperiencesB.Remarkable ImaginationC.Lifelong FriendshipD.Noble Companions四、第 二 节(共1小题；每小题10分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。10.(10 分)MuzakThe next time you go into a
