ways.In particular,it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.Running is a metaphor(隐喻)for life.I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday.All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed,but my coach shared some valuable advice:run at your own best pace setting a goal or target time could be a limitation.He was right.Over time I ran more easily and faster.I also enjoyed the experience much more.I have applied this principle to other areas of my life.Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day.It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life.Running carries its own set of expectations,including what people at certain life stage should be doing or not doing.Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent,decisions about employment,and even the role of a grandparent.I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure,but older adults can experience it too.This is ironic,because often later in this life is a time when we tend to care less about the opinions of others.Im not suggesting we postpone dreams.Of course,we should do what matters to us,but its easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks(基准)to be met.Its a comparison trap that makes what someone else does the reference point.Forget what others are doing.Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at.Run at your own way.Our 第 4 页 共 8 页 命题人：黎成淑、李继、石静、唐垚、杨璐媛审题人：李继bodies know what they need.Our hearts know what they need.In living life on our own terms,we will likely feel stronger in body,mind and spirit.24.What motivated the author to participate in marathon?A.Her keen wish to celebrate her 60th

the operating room at the University of Maryland Medical Center for a surgical procedure never performed before on a human.The 57-year-old Maryland resident had been hospitalized for months due to a life threatening disease.His heart was failing him and he needed a new one.Bennetts condition left him unresponsive to treatment and ineligible(不合格)for the transplant list or an artificial heart pump.The physician-scientists at the center,however,had another-also-risky-option:transplant(移植)a heart from a genetically-modified pig.“It was either die or do this transplant,”Bennett had told surgeons a day before the operation.“I want to live.I know its a shot in the dark,but its also my last choice.”It took the medical team eight hours to finish the operation,making Bennett the first human to successfully receive a pigs heart.“Its working and it looks normal.We are thrilled,but we dont know what tomorrow will bring us.This has never been done before,”Barkley Griffith,who led the transplant team,told the New York Times.While its only been five days since the operation,the surgeons say that Bennetts new pig heart has been,so far,functioning as expected and his body wasnt rejecting(排斥)the organ.They are still monitoring his condition closely.“I think its extremely exciting,”says Robert Montgomery,transplant surgeon and director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute,who was not involved in Bennetts operation.The result of the procedure was also personally meaningful for Montgomery,who received a heart transplant in 2018 due to a genetic disease that may also affect members of his family in the future.“Its still in the early days,but still the heart seems to be functioning.And that in and of itself is an extraordinary thing.Up to now most experimental heart transplant procedures have been done between pigs and other animals.This is the first time that surgeons have taken it into a living human.”28.What do the words“a shot in the dark”underlined in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Something that costs a fortune.B.Something impossible to succeed.C.Something drawing public attention.D.Something with an uncertain outcome.第 5 页 共 8 页

over the pig heart transplant.B.David Bennetts contribution to medical research.C.The first experimental pig heart transplant in the world.D.The first successful pig heart transplant into a living human.31.In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A.Political Affairs.B.Global Entertainment.C.Sci-Tech Front.D.Financial Window.DWomen were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war,the Gulf war,or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.They commit far fewer murders.They are less likely to favor strikes.For some scholars,these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful.But European history suggests otherwise,according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S.P.Harish.They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913,and found that states ruled by queens were 27%more likely to get involved in wars than those ruled by kings.This was not all the queens fault:men,seeing them as soft targets,tended to attack them.Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared:“No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything.”Shortly after becoming king,he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria,Maria Theresa,and seized Silesia province.Despite years of war,she never recovered it.But perceived weakness is not the whole story.Queens,the researchers found,were more likely to gain new territory.Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles.And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings,whether single or married.The authors suggest several reasons for this.First,married queens may have been able to form more military alliances(联盟),making them confident enough to pick fights.Their husbands had often served in the army before they married,and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives states.Second,unlike most kings,queens often gave their husbands a lot of power,putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy.During the 1740s,Maria Theresas husband,Francis I,reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe.Prince Albert was Queen Victorias most trusted adviser,shaping her foreign policy until his death in1861.This division of labor,the authors suggest,freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies.The modern era,too,has witnessed female leaders in wars:Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war,or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands.The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000,but there is plenty of room for improvement:the current level of 15 represents less than 10%of the total.A world in which more women took power might be more equal.Whether it would be more peaceful is a different question.32.The underlined“perceived weakness”in paragraph 4 means that _.A.women were less likely to support warsB.women could not recover lost territoryC.women commit far fewer crimesD.women were soft targets第 6 页 共 8 页 命题人：黎成淑、李继、石静、唐垚、杨璐媛审题人：李继33.Why were married queens more likely to gain new territory?A.Because their military alliances picked fights for them.B.Because they were ambitious and aggressive by nature.C.Because their husbands were supportive in state governing.D.Because they centralized all power into their own hands.34.What is the purpose of mentioning the two female leaders in the last paragraph?A.To imply there is room for improvement in gender equality.B.To indicate more females become leaders in modern times.C.To illustrate female leaders cannot prevent wars in modern times.D.To suggest female leaders have their share of wars in modern times.35.According to the passage,we can safely conclude that _.A.married women are not fit to govern their states on their ownB.female leaders should be responsible for all wars throughout historyC.the world wouldnt be more peaceful even if more women took powerD.the division of labor allows queens to survive economic crisis第二节第二节 (共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分分)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 wonder what they can do to become well-rounded and competitive while increasing their rate of success.36 Be willing to expand your mind.Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information.37 You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview.Rather than remaining resting in your comfort zone,use this time to stop,reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision.After the mind has been ready,the next step is application.38 Learning information you can use in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education.Skill-based learning,for example,is useless if it isnt applied.Reading a book on automobile repair isnt the same as physically changing
