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 to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well. He later informed me that I was not athletic.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 was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line. I woke up sweating 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 to readjust. 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, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded 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 the same 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(世俗标签), I can now call myself a marathon winner.4.

Oneisnevertoooldtolearn.CMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they dont run the streets. Every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHAattention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.8. According to the author, people enjoy _ to seek nature.A. jogging on the streetB. sitting in the gardenC. shopping in the supermarketD. running in the gym9. From the second paragraph, we can see that _.A. adults deprive the children of their rights to approach natureB. climbing trees will certainly do good to the childrenC. children probably spend less time in nature nowadaysD. children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction10. In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?A. Children with ADHD can be cured.B. A garden nearby improves the quality of old peoples life.C. Problems with crime and violent behaviour will easily be solved. D. Childrens performance at school is greatly improved.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Access to nature improves our life. B. Nature treats children for ADHD.C. Getting close to nature reduces crime. D. Man cant live without natural areas.DThe tree house is a platform or building constructed around, next to or among the trunk or branches of one or more mature trees. In a more dangerous time in human history, their position above the ground would protect the dweller(居住者) against environmental difficulties and possible fierce animals. As modern construction has improved, the tree houses have become less of a practical dwelling and more of a childrens novelty. But now, these fun shelters are appealing to adults too and many are booking themselves in for a few nights among the treetops.These tree house hotels can be found from Europe to Australia. Best of all, they come in a variety of interesting designs! From the traditional “four walls and a roof” hotel, to the more artistic Nothofagus Hotel in Chilean Patagonia, whose twelve-sided walls make it look like a beehive. The Free Spirit Spheres(球体) village on Vancouver Island in Canada allows guests to stay in one of three yellow spheres, which are suspended from trees. Not only are they as safe as houses, theyre popular!In Sweden, at the Treehotel, numbers have also risen. “In 2010, we had four rooms and around 1,500 guests a year. Today we have seven rooms and nearly 5, 000 guests,” co-founder Kent Lindvall explains. Each of the rooms there was designed by an architect, who was asked to make use of the light and surroundings. They include a mirrored cube, a birds nest and a UFO.And how about an office? Microsoft, hoping to give its employees thinking space, has constructed a three-building structure. “Studies show people can work better in nature. They are more productive,” says Mr. Nelson, designer and builder of tree houses.If youve no head for heights, then maybe a tree house getaway isnt going to be your home away from home. But the sense of adventure, the novelty of the setting and the opportunity to return to nature are attracting an increasing number of tree house-staying adults.12. How do children feel about the tree houses?A. They are novel. B. They are practical.C. They are strongly built. D. They are well decorated.13. What do we know about the rooms at the Treehotel?A. They are unique in design.B. They are the largest in size.C. They overlook birds nests.D. They appear in traditional style.14. What has Microsoft done for its employees?A. It has rented tree house hotels.B. It has created tree house office buildings.C. It has trained them to work more productively.D. It has improved their abilities to survive outdoors.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Advantages of Tree Hotels.B. The Popularity of Tree Houses.C. Ways of Building Tree Hotels.D. The Differences Between Tree Houses.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项。 Everyone deals with discouragement at some point in their life. 16 Discouragement, disappointment, failure, and setbacks these are all things that can help us if we maintain an empowering mindset. So next time you start to feel discouraged, here is what you should do: 1. 17 Discouragement generally occurs when our expectations dont agree with reality. In many cases our expectations are unrealistic, and this often has to do with how long we think things will last. If we take a longer view, and relax our expectations a little, it can really help to decrease discouragement. So be patient! 2. Think of failure as education. When we feel like we have failed at something, discouragement often follows. However, failure doesnt really exist, except for the meaning that we give it. We can choose to think of failure as education, and therefore good, instead of thinking of failure as bad. When we view it this way we realize that failure isnt something that is bad, or something to be avoided. It is simply feedback. 18 3. Stop comparing ourselves with others. No doubt, if we always compare ourselves with others, we will get discouraged easily. We generally see their victories, successes, and strengths. When we do this we get discouraged and we feel sorry for ourselves. 19 We are on a unique path. Then we need to just focus on our own path. 4. Consider who we are spending time with. If we spend all our time with people who are constantly negative, we can be influenced to see life through a similar lens. So what can we do? We cant simply cut loved ones out of our lives. 20 Start to surround ourselves with positive people as a balance. Over time we will start to take on their mindset and this will help with any feelings of discouragement we may have.A. So dont compare.B. Take the long view.C. It may be a while before it comes true.D. We ease discouragement when we think this way.E. But it is not always a bad thing.F. What we should do is simply expand our social network.G. Dont let our discouragement get in the way of our development.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 I used to abandon myself to despair（绝望）.
