BWhen I was at school, I played some football and rugby(橄榄球) . I hated rugby because couldnt catch the ball, but I enjoyed football. I started out being a terrible player and nobody wanted me to be on their team. But I started to Improve(提高) slowly and, after a few years, the other kids in the school accepted me as a player, not a fantastic one, but one who wouldnt do anything stupidWhen I was at university, I stopped playing sports altogether. I was working too hard, started eating too much, and, worst of all, I started smoking. By the time I was thirty, I was overweight and unfit.Then one day, I was sitting in the park, smoking a cigarette(香烟). I was watching these guys running. They looked slim, fit and healthy, and some of them were much older than me. When I got home, I looked in the bathroom mirror(镜子) and, well, I suppose I just didnt like what I saw. At that moment, I decided to stop smoking and change my life. That evening I went running around the park for ten minutes! Physically, I felt terrible. Everything was hurting: my legs, my chest. But inside, I did feel good about it. The next evening, I went again. I still only did ten minutes, but I didnt feel as bad as I did the day before. Within a week, I was running for fifteen minutes, then twenty, and after three weeks I ran for thirty minutes without stopping. Quite soon, I was running longer distances. After six months. I was a runner!I now run eight kilometres six times a week and love it. My proudest moment was last year, when I ran my first marathon and finished in under three hours. I m so glad that I went to sit in the park that day five years ago25. What did the author think of rugby when he was young?A. It was a really stupid gameB. It was as interesting as footballC.

Itineraries fit the period of a day, beginning with spots for coffee, walking along museums and shops, and finishing off with recommendations of where to buy a well-deserved drink. Published by Thames and Hudson in association with London cycling brand Rapha Racing, the guidebook is among the first US sections-alongside New York, Chicago and San Francisco-in a series launched in2013 with biking tours of eight European cities.Greatest hits such as the Bradbury Building and Echo Park Lake are included in the neighbourhood tours, with plenty of fashionable places for where to eat-Eggslut, Pine&Crane and Gjusta. The guide is a reminder of how crowdedly packed each enclave (飞地) of L. A. is with unusual destinations, and the large number of places to explore within a few square mile radius (半径), easily done once we step out of the car.Los Angeles famously pleasant weather makes it an ideal city for exploring by bike; neighbourhoods have different styles. While the car still plays an important role, cycling culture, like CicLAvia, already has full support, and is prepared to grow with the implementation(实施) of Mobility Plan 2035, which aims to make the city more bike-friendly.

Because of Mobility Plan 2035.D. Because of its pleasant weather.DMost people know that listening to music when they are feeling down or depressed can encourage their spirits. However, studies have also shown that music, especially certain tones can reduce stress. Music can change brainwave patterns, deepen breathing, and bring on a totally stress-free and more open mindset(思维倾向). Using music when considering a particular problem may not only raise your mood, but also could help you reach that a-ha moment and find a solution.Music has been shown not only to make you feel good, but also, to be a great motivator. For example, during exercise, listening to music can keep you going, or get you to exercise more by helping you to ignore negative feelings of tiredness and focus on the pleasurable feelings you get from being absorbed in the music.Music is mainly used to record emotion. When we listen to a piece of music we share the artists feelings on a visceral (发自内心的) level. That can be sad, and who among us hasnt put on a painful love song to share in the misery after a bad break-up? On the contrary, we can share in the delight of songs of joy and happiness, or any song or piece of music that reminds us of a particular happy time in our past. So next time you are feeling down, put on Beethovens Ode to Joy, I bet you will feel a lot better about whatever it was that was bothering you!32. We can infer from the first paragraph that music canA. benefit us in many waysB. promote us to find more questions.C. change the patterns of our lifestyleD. influence our attention to a problem33. The author wrote the second paragraph mainly byA. telling us a storyB. making some commentsC. giving us an exampleD. listing some facts34. When we listen to a piece of sad music, _.A. we can convey our real emotions to the artistB. we may recall our miserable pastC. we may be reminded of particular joyD. well show mercy to the artists life35. Whats the best title of the text?A. What music means to a music loverB. Why people love happy musicC. What kind of music is popularD. How music changes our life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I love eating cake. 36 After all, it looks so easy when you watch someone making a cake on the television.The first thing I did was find a recipe.
