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 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, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.4. A month before the marathon, the author _.A. was well trained B. made up his mind to runC. felt scared D. lost hope5. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To show he was not talented in sports. B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To thank his teacher for the support . D. To share a precious memory.6. How was the authors first marathon?A.

Victory belongs to the most persevering(不屈不挠的). D. One is never too old to learn.【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了自己第一次跑马拉松，凭借自己的意志力成功跑完全程的励志故事。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Yet, I was determined to go ahead.可知，马拉松赛前一个月尽管作者脚踝受伤使得训练时间缩短，但作者仍下定决心参赛。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段I didnt do either well. He later informed me thatI wasnot athletic可知，作者提到7年级的事情是为了证明自己真的没有运动天赋。故选A。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第10段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.可知，作者坚持到了最后，而且得到了一块奖牌，虽然不是第一名，由此可见他成功地跑完了马拉松。故选C。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在讲述自己跑马拉松的经历，再根据最后一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself amarathon winner.可知，作者成功跑完马拉松源于自己的意志。故选C。【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。（2）语言转述型。（3）语意理解型。（4）是非辨别型。（5）事实排序型。此题中的前三题为细节理解题。细节理解题首先要根据题干准确定位信息句，其次要对信息句进行准确的理解和判断，如第一题为转述型，I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二题为语义理解题。根据文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didnt do either well.可知，作者没有运动天赋。而第三题则为转述型，根据信息句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.可知，作者跑完了马拉松，正好与made it 意义相同。CAustralians have been warned that they face a life or death decision over their water drink recycled sewage (污水) or die.With the drought (干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified (净化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier.I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water, said Peter Beattie.These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. Theres no choice. Its liquid gold, its a matter of life and death.Beattie said Australias second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.But Australians have never liked the idea.To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queenslands move.I am very strongly for recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely, Howard said.“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.” added Turnbull, All of our big cities have to widen (使变宽) the range of water sources to include sources which do not depend on rainfall.8. What is the text mainly about?A. Premier Beattie is worried about his peoples healthB. Australians face the choice of life and deathC. Continuing drought forces Australians to drink recycled sewageD. We should avoid drinking recycled water to keep healthy9. The underlined phrase “adhered to” in Paragraph 9 probably means_.A. supported B. doubtedC. disliked D. gone against10. According to the passage, the writer agrees that_.A. no other countries but Australia decide to drink recycled waterB. the drought is the worst one in the droughts recorded in Australian history.C. Australias second largest state has become the first state to introduce the policyD. nobody disagrees to the idea of drinking recycled purified water11.

It is painful for him to see his people drink recycled sewageD. If the decision is made, people wont survive the drought【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。持续干旱让澳大利亚人将被迫饮用循环水。文章具体介绍了澳大利亚不得不采取这项措施，渡过难关，这是生死悠关的大事。【8题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一、二段指出本文的主题：持续干旱让澳大利亚人将被迫饮用循环水。下文具体介绍了澳大利亚不得不采取这项措施，渡过难关，这是生死悠关的大事。故选C。【9题详解】词义猜测题。由下文I am very strongly for recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,中的 “am very strongly for”和 “agree with”可知, adhered to的意思为 “支持；同意”。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段中 “Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.”可知，根据这篇文章，作者认为这次干旱是澳大利亚历史上最严重的一次。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。由第五段中的 “difficult decisions” “Theres no choice.” “Its liquid gold, its a matter of life and death”可以推出总理Peter Beattie看到人们喝循环水是件痛苦的事。但对此别无选择。故选C。【点睛】做词义猜测题时，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。尤其注意划线两边的内容含义。本题第2小题，由下文I am very strongly for recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,中的 “am very strongly for”和 “agree with”可知, adhered to的意思为 “支持；同意”。故选A。DAt one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options. In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the workforce, but their options have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status. A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as“merely a nurse”. Teachers many be also at fault. Many high school students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are“too bright to be a nurse”.Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal(致命的) diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.12. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. How teachers have influenced their students.B. What has caused nurse shortage.C. How nurses have been looked down upon.D. Why women have chosen many different jobs.13. The passage tells that high school teachers are at fault for .A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the USB. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their studentsC. persuading the students not to be nursesD. not asking the government to raise the nurses payment14. The author writes the passage in order to .A. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problemB. call on women to choose different kinds of jobsC. tell us womens free choices of jobs todayD. describe the unequal treatment of women in the US15. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly neededB. women in the US have greater career choices than those in other countriesC. high school students think themselves too bright to be nursesD. nursing used to be a popular job among women【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。分析了女孩不想当护士的原因，许多高中学生实际上之所以远离护理,是因为老师告诉他们“你们太聪明了，当一名护士是不值得的。目前，在美国60%的医院护士短缺，将要威胁医疗护理的质量。从中可以看出作者想让人们重视护士问题。【12题详解】细节理解题。第二段的The answer lies in not one but several causes.第二段主要分析女孩不想当护士的原因。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。第二段的Many high school students are actually away from nursing, told by teachers that they are“too bright to be a nurse许多高中学生实际上之所以远离护理,是因为老师告诉他们“你们太聪明了，当一名护士是不值得的”。故选C。【14题详解】作者意图题。第一段的Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided目前，在美国60%的医院护士短缺，将要威胁医疗护理的质量。从中可以看出作者想让人们重视护士问题。故选A。【15题详解】推理判断题。第二段的told by teachers that they are“too bright to be a nurse”是老师说的而不是学生说的，排除A；B项文章没提，故排除；第一段的60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages是说美国60%的医院护士短缺，而不是全世界的医院，故排除C项；第二段的In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. 过去妇女到外面找工作，经常选择护士和教师。故选D。【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第3小题，第一段的Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages, large enough to threaten the quality of care provided目前，在美国60%的医院护士短缺，将要威胁医疗护理的质量。从中可以看出作者想让人们重视护士问题。故选A。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据对话内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选
