Pedestrianism, an early form of racewalking, was a(n) 【1】 (extreme) popular sport in 18th- and 19th-century Britain, 【2】 (attract) huge crowds of spectators (觀眾). Individuals would either aim to walk a certain distance within a(n) 【3】 (limit) period of time or compete against other pedestrians.

Perhaps the most famous 【4】 (walk) was Captain Robert Barclay Allardice, whose extraordinary (非凡的) achievements earned 【5】 (he) the title of the “Celebrated Pedestrian”. The Scotsman's most memorable performance 【6】 (take) place in 1809, when he walked 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours for a bet of 1,000 guineas (an old British unit of money). Many considered 【7】 unlikely that he would complete the challenge, 【8】 required him to walk a mile an hour, for forty-two days and nights. He proved them wrong, though the task was so physically demanding that by the end of the walk he had lost nearly fifteen kilos 【9】 weight.

Since the 20th century, interest in walking as a sport has dropped. Racewalking is still an Olympic sport, but fails 【10】 (catch) the public attention as it did.

【答案】

【1】extremely

【2】attracting

【3】limited

【4】walker

【5】him

【6】took

【7】it

【8】which

【9】in

【10】to catch

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，講述了18世紀(jì)和19世紀(jì)很流行的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目：徒步旅行，并介紹了著名的徒步旅行者Robert Barclay Allardice所參加的一項(xiàng)極限徒步活動(dòng)。

【1】考查副詞。在英語中副詞通常做狀語修飾形容詞、副詞、動(dòng)詞或整個(gè)句子。本句中使用副詞extremely修飾形容詞popular。句意：徒步旅行是一種在18和19世紀(jì)的英國及其流行的運(yùn)動(dòng)，吸引很多人參加。

【2】考查分詞做狀語。本句中動(dòng)詞attract與主語pedestrianism構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞短語attracting…在句中做伴隨狀語。句意：徒步旅行是一種在18和19世紀(jì)的英國及其流行的運(yùn)動(dòng)，吸引很多人參加。

【3】考查形容詞。形容詞limited有限的；本句中該詞做定語修飾名詞period。指徒步旅行者可以在有限的時(shí)間里走一定的距離。

【4】考查名詞。本句系動(dòng)詞was前面是主語，根據(jù)句意可知該主語指人。動(dòng)詞walk指人的名詞是walker。句意：也許最有名的徒步旅行者是Robert Barclay Allardice。

【5】考查代詞。本句中動(dòng)詞earn是及物動(dòng)詞，后面可以接雙賓語，動(dòng)詞短語earn sb sth幫某人贏得某物；所以使用賓格代詞him作為動(dòng)詞earn的賓語。

【6】考查時(shí)態(tài)。本句的時(shí)間狀語是in 1809，這是一個(gè)表示過去的時(shí)間，所以謂語動(dòng)詞使用took構(gòu)成一般過去時(shí)。

【7】考查it用法。在英語中只有it可以做形式主語和形式賓語。本句中it作為形式賓語，真正的賓語從句放在后面。句意：很多人都認(rèn)為他不可能完成這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。

【8】考查定語從句。本句定語從句的先行詞是the challenge，關(guān)系代詞which指代先行詞，引導(dǎo)定語從句并在句中做主語。

【9】考查介詞。介詞in可以表示“在…方面”。句意：在挑戰(zhàn)結(jié)束的時(shí)候，在體重方面他減掉了幾乎15公斤。

【10】考查不定式用法。動(dòng)詞短語fail to do sth未能做某事；其中不定式to do sth做動(dòng)詞fail的賓語。句意：競走還是奧運(yùn)會(huì)的比賽項(xiàng)目，但卻沒有像過去那樣吸引人們的關(guān)注了。

My father works very hardly as a teacher, spending most of his time at school. My mother loves reading and often bury herself in her books. Therefore, all of them should exercise more from now on.

I want to give them this card to express my love and thanks for them. I hope that they will be able to get relaxing in the health club and make more friends here. At the same time, I hope that they can take care their health.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is said “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels.
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means “fun”. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French, I meant that I would like some more, however to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, Thank you”.
（1）The author's Spanish friends wanted advice about _______.
A.some funny English stories
B.finding places to stay in England
C.driving their car on English roads
D.going to England by car
（2）The author suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” because _______.
A.it would be convenient for them to have dinners and live
B.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
C.they would be able to practice their English in the house
D.there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
（3）“NO VACANCIES” in English means _______.
A.no free rooms
B.free rooms
C.not away on holiday
D.they don't live
（4）If you see road sign that says “Diversion” in England, you will _______.
A.take the road and you will be excited
B.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
C.find that the road is blocked by crowds of people
D.have to take a different road

【題目】Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.

I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.

The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.

In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone orbelittlingsomeone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.

【1】What did the author find out after studying psychology?

A. Only good jokes make people laugh

B. Many factors lead to people laughing.

C. Funny things can make people laugh

D. Laughter can make people healthy.

【2】Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?

A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.

B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.

C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.

D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.

【3】What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?

A. Annoy B. Blame

C. Look down on D. Make up to

After years of planning and months of expectations, the 2016 Summer Games finally began in Brazil on August 5. Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the world’s most famous sporting event.

The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee (難民)Team.” The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2011, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination — Greece.

Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece – A journey that took three hours.

While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.”

【1】What do we know about Yusra’s fleeing journey to Greece?

A. It was very hard.

B. It took three hours.

C. It was a failure.

D. It was very smooth.

【2】What is the right order of the events related to Yusra?

a. She became a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee Team”.

b. She dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games.

A. disapproving B. tolerant C. supportive D. resistant

A. A Hard Road to the Olympic Games

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (軟件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.
I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to compete and then do better than their human ancestors. Once they do better than us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.
As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to improve environments. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.
（1）In what way can we make a machine intelligent?
A.By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.
B.By working hard for 10 or 20 years.
C.By either properly programming it or changing its structure.
D.By reproducing it.
（2）What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?
A.He believes they will be useful to human beings.
B.He believes that they will control us in the future.
C.He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.
D.He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.
（3）The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para.2) stands for _________.
A.intelligent robots
B.a chemical element
C.an organic substance
D.human beings
（4）It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A.after connections with phones, robots will be able to have self-reproduction
B.people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability
C.once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will have intelligence
D.robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space

【題目】Black History Month is also known as the African-American History Month. It is celebrated all over the United States of America and Canada in the month of February, while in the United Kingdom it is celebrated in October. Each and every school and university conducts various activities to make the generation aware of the importance that African-American history holds in the nation. The electronic media is filled with themes in relevance to the occasion, and many activities are carried out across the country to remember the contribution made by African-American citizens in the development of this nation.

Black History Month was first started by a famous African-American historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson in the year 1926. February was chosen as the month to celebrate the African-American history because it was the birth month of two of the most highly valued people among African-Americans. These were President Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves, and Frederick Douglass, who was also the first vice presidential nominee (被任命者) among African-Americans. Initially, Black History Month was known as the “Negro History Week”.

And later, in the year 1976, the entire month of February was declared to be the National African-American History Month, or the Black History Month.

Every year, National African-American History Month is celebrated by many activities with various ideas and themes for the younger generation. In 2013, Black History Month celebrates the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at which Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous speech “I have a dream”. It also marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation (解放黑奴宣言). The theme for Black History Month in 2014 is “Civil Rights in America” remembering the important milestones by African-Americans and others in the battle for civil rights and equal treatment under the law.
