He couldnt climb the stairs at North Lambton before he began training with the crosscountry team. He is working very hard on his running. He took part in the 2015 season and completed the races in SWOSSA and OFSAA. His family, friends, running mates, coaches and all the staff felt proud of what he had achieved.

Whether its ten or thirty, I believe that 90% of them would be male (男性). Even in todays society, which calls for gender equality (男女平等), it seems that female sports stars simply dont get the same coverage (报道) as male players.The World Cup is the most widely followed sporting event in the world. According to a report, almost 715 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a ninth of the whole population of the planet. But how many people notice the fact that the FIFA Womens World Cup has just taken place in Canada? The US team was the winner, after beating the Japanese team 52 in the final match. England even got a third place! However, the England team in the mens World Cup seldom runs to the quarterfinals. While the World Cup enjoys primetime on most BBC channels, the FIFA Womens World Cup is put aside. The only time the media (媒体) made the news was when an English player scored an own goal!The inequality doesnt end with football. Just recently, Caroline Wozniacki (a top Danish tennis player) complained that women dont get the same chance as men to play on the show courts at Wimbledon. In this case, I think its the luck of the drawthe further you get in the competition, the more likely you are to play on the show courts. In the opening stages, it is true that often only the best players will play their matches on the show courts. Womens tennis does get lots of coverage, though many complain that it isnt exciting to watch.Many people think the womens sport is often paid less attention to, but I think this is slowly starting to change. In the UK, there is a campaign called This Girl Can, which aims to get girls and women back into sports, regardless of (不管) their age, shape or sporting ability. Hopefully this campaign will encourage more people to take up and enjoy sports, and help to reduce (减少) the nations health problems.【文章大意】女子运动不受重视吗？作者认为这一现象开始慢慢改变了。5The hidden message in Paragraph 1 is that _.Afemale players dont get much attentionBmale players are more likely to enjoy sportsCthere are more male players than female playersDthe media prefers to provide coverage of female sports解析：A推理判断题。根据第一段的Even in todays society, which calls for gender equality, it seems that female sports stars simply dont get the same coverage as male players.可知，女运动员不受重视。6The author thinks Caroline s case _.Ais due to the level of players abilityBis another example of gender inequalityChelps womens tennis get a lot of coverageDleads to disappointment at women s tennis解析：A细节判断题。根据第三段的In this case, I think its the luck of the drawthe further you get in the competition, the more likely you are to play on the show courts.可知，作者认为Caroline的情况应归咎于选手的能力水平。7Whats the authors attitude toward the future of womens sport?ANegative. BPositive.CUnconcerned. DDoubtful.解析：B观点态度题。根据最后一段的Many people think the womens sport is often paid less attention to, but I think this is slowly starting to change.可知，作者对女子运动的未来是乐观的。8Why does the author expect more women to take part in sports?ATo beat male players.BTo have a household name.CTo achieve their dreams.DTo improve their health.解析：D推理判断题。根据最后一段的Hopefully this campaign will encourage more people to take up and enjoy sports, and help to reduce the nations health problems.可推知，作者希望更多女士参与运动是为了增强体质。CIts hard for a 30yearold person like me to find a job today. And one in four adults between 18 and 34 years old say they have moved back to live with their parents after living on their own for some time.It is reported that only 54% of the American adults aged 18 to 25 now have jobs, which was the lowest in over 60 years. Breaking from tradition, my generation (一代人) may grow up to be less wealthy than our parents generation.However, many people dont like the millennials (people who were born between the 1980s and the 2000s). They think we are lazy and selfish and call us the Me Me Me Generation. But based on the young people I know, the view couldnt be farther from the truth. Millennials want to work. Even though being shackled by debt (债务) and work stress, they arent motivated by money. Instead, theyre driven to make a difference in the world.When I interviewed dozens of millennials about their career (事业) choices, almost no one answered that they wanted to make lots of money or have lots of power. Instead, they said things like, “I want to teach kids living in a food desert how to grow their own food.”These young people arent interested in climbing the career ladder. Most millennials have already changed careers and over 90% of the millennials expect to stay in a job for less than three years. As Nathaniel Koloc, CEO of Rework, said, “There is no clear way up anymore. Its just a series of projects or jobs, one after another. You can move in any direction; the only question is how youre making your plan of where to move and where you can land, that is, what youre competitive for.”【文章大意】本文是议论文，话题是社会生活类。作者认为年轻的一代并不是所谓的以个人为中心的一代，他们有自己的想法和抱负，他们希望做有意义的工作、施展个人抱负来影响社会。9Why do some adults move back to live with their parents?ATo follow the tradition.BTo look after their parents.CTo reduce their own pressure.DTo balance work and family.解析：C推理判断题。根据第二段可知，美国18至25岁的年轻人中，只有54%的人有工作，而且作者这一代不如他们的父母那一代富裕，由此可以推知，一些成年人重新与父母居住在一起是为了缓解他们自己的生活压力。10Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shackled” in Paragraph 3?Atroubled BbeatenCshocked Ddisappointed解析：A词义猜测题。根据划线单词后面的debt and work stress可以推知，成年人经常会被债务以及工作压力所困扰，故答案选A。be shackled by被所束缚。11What does the author think of the millennials?AThey are lazy and selfish.BThey care more about power.CThey are less rich than their parents.DThey want to make the world a better place.解析：D推理判断题。根据第三段中的They think we are lazy and selfish and call us the Me Me Me Generation.But based on the young people I know, the view couldnt be farther from the truth可知，作者认为the millennials并不像有些人说的很疯狂、很自私，是自我的一代。再结合第三段的最后一句Instead, theyre driven to make a difference in the world和第四段可知，在作者看来，the millennials希望找到自己喜欢的、有意义的工作来影响社会，让世界变得更加美好。12What can we learn from Nathaniel Kolocs words?AYoung people have many jobs to choose from.BThere are lots of positions waiting for young people.CThe jobs that share a persons purpose really matter.DYoung people should have good plans for their jobs.解析：C推理判断题。最后一段中，Nathaniel Koloc说到年轻人可以选择任何一个方向去发展，重要的是你要知道自己追求的是什么，由此可以推知，Nathaniel Koloc认为在找工作时，结合自己的目的和目标是很重要的。.七选五There are some children who love to fly and then there are the kids who are afraid of the unknown.
