At the first one, just 6, 225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It is one of the World Marathon Majors, which is a competition made up of six global marathon events. The overall male and female winners receive $1 million in prize money between them There are eleven people who have run every London Marathon since it beganthey call themselves the Ever Presents.This year, the winners of the London Marathon were surprisingly both from KenyaDaniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes.However, most marathon runners are not professional athletes. They are amateurs who have trained for months to raise money for charity or just as a personal challenge. For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the runs halfway point, as he is crawling the course on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(大猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for the charity The Gorilla Organisation.Matthew Rees was another runner to encourage people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help David Wyeth run the last 200m.They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was exhausted and possibly close to collapsing, and wanted to help him finish.Every year there are lots of touching stories like this from the London Marathon, and it is a huge achievement even to run the 26.2 miles !4. What do we know about London Marathon from the text?A. It has been held continuously for 37 yearsB. Most of its runners are professional athletes.C. Each winner can receive $ 1 million in prize moneyD. Its the most influential sporting event in the world5. What makes the winners of London Marathon this year special?A. Their nationality B.

To indicate participation matters more than successD. To show the sports event means charity for some people.7. What is the best title for the text?A. The London MarathonB. Impressive Marathon RunnersC. Touching Stories behind MarathonD. The History of the London Marathon【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了伦敦马拉松的相关历史以及其中一些感人的故事。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981.”可知伦敦马拉松在1981年就开始了，到2018年已经开始了37年了。故A项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This year, the winners of the London Marathon were surprisingly both from KenyaDaniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes.”可知今年的伦敦马拉松获胜的冠军都是两位肯尼亚人。可知今年的特别之处就在于冠军队员的国籍，故A项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据在第四段第三句“For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the runs halfway point, as he is crawling the course on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(大猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for the charity The Gorilla Organization.可知很多参与伦敦马拉松的人为慈善事业做出了很多的贡献，有时候参与比成功更重要。故C项正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段导入文章主题伦敦马拉松，接着介绍了伦敦马拉松的历史以及今年伦敦马拉松比赛的相关信息。BCD都属于文章部分信息，概括性不足。本文主要讲述伦敦马拉松，故A项正确。【点睛】本文小题4属于主旨大意题，BCD三项都属于部分信息，以细节代替大意，概括不够。对文章主旨大意的考查，不仅可以直接以理解段落及文章的主旨大意的形式出现，而且也可以用选择或拟定文章标题的形式出现。因此，选择文章标题，首先可以按照主旨大意的确定方式，先弄清文章的主旨大意，再定标题。标题位于文章之首，用来高度概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它是段落中心思想最精练的表达形式。标题可帮助读者迅速推测出整篇文章的主要内容，抓住文章的中心，把握作者的观点和意图。那么如何选择文章的标题呢？要考虑标题对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何。一般要求能覆盖全文内容，体现文章主旨。要避免下列三种情况：概括不够（多表现为部分代整体，从而导致范围太小）；过度概括（多表现为脱离文章内容的发挥）；以事实、细节替代抽象具体的大意。CHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims（声称）as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.8. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually _.A. an expression of happiness B. an expression of angerC. a way of greeting D. a way of warning9. How does the writer explain birds singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By telling a birds story.C. By reporting experiment results.D. By describing birds daily life.10. What is a birds “territory”?A. An area for which birds fight against each other.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area which a bird considers to be its own.D. A place where families of other species are not accepted.11. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to find outsiders around.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to invite more friends.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇科普类的短文，主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。【8题详解】D细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory可知很多的鸟儿唱歌是警告别的鸟儿。故选D。【9题详解】A细节理解题。从第一段After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason.可知作者解释鸟的歌唱是把它和人相比较。故选A。【10题详解】C细节题。根据文章第三段Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal，usually the male，claims(声称)as its own.领域就是动物，特别是雄性，声称属于自己的区域，可知territory是“领地”的意思。故选C。【11题详解】B细节题。根据文章第四段But he expects an outsider almost any time，especially at nesting(筑巢) seasonSo he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not This screaming is what we call a birds song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away可知在筑巢季节，鸟儿叫主要是想吓走外来者。故选B。点睛：本文是一篇科普类的短文，主要分析了鸟儿唱歌的不同的原因。本文考查细节题为主，细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息或是其变体。搜查信息在阅读中非常重要它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。如第一小题，带着问题到第二段查找相应句子，确定答案。DThere is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hoursyou dont need that “refreshment（提神） break” as much as you may think.Scientists believed it was not easy for people to continue their work if they felt the need to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better. They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is in your head. They found that a persons mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well theyll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something thats limited, youre more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task,” said Professor Veronika Job. “But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily depleted, you can go on and on.”The researchers led by Mr. Job designed an experiment to test the students beliefs about willpower. After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a limited resource performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over.Mr. Job said, “Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their powers of concentration are limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findings could help people who are battling with temptation(诱惑):people following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight, people trying to overcome addictions, employees facing a tight deadline. Willpower isnt driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think.12. What opinion did scientists have in the past?A. Willpower was a limited resource.B. It was hard to regain willpower.C. Hardworking people seldom took breaks.D. People could easily feel tired when working.13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 3?A. Given up. B. Recovered.C. Used up. D. Changed.14. What can we learn from the findings of the experiment?A. Students benefit most from the research.B. Frequent breaks are not good for learning.C. Will power can be regained after people have a good rest.D. The belief in willpower can change a mans behaviour.15. Why does the author write the text?A. To explain the power of willpower.B. To show us how to build willpower.C. To tell us the ways of gaining willpower.D. To introduce a new theory on willpower.【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文，以前人们认为意志力的来源是有限的，心理学家意志力的有了新的理论，认为意志力存在人脑中，对我们的行为能够产生很大的影响。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest, food or entertainment.”可知他们认为得到意志力的唯一方法是用休息、食物和娱乐。句中“only”强调意志力的来源是有限的。故A项正确。【13题详解】猜测词义题。根据前句“If you think of willpower as something thats limited, youre more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task”可知如果你认为意志力是有限的东西，在完成困难的任务时，你更可能会疲惫；本句中的but是关键词，如果你认为意志力很难被耗尽，那么你就可以继续下去。使用本句这的deplete意为“use up”，故C项正确。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“They found that a persons mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long and how well theyll be able to work on a tough mental exercise.”可知研究人员发现意志力能够决定人们做一项艰难的任务的时间和结果。也就是说意志力能够影响人们的行为。故D项正确。【15题详解】主旨大意题。作者在第二段里介绍了以前人们对意志力的看法，第三段第一句“But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is in your head.”告诉我们心理学家有了新的观点，下文主要介绍了关于意志力的新的发现。所以本文介绍了关于意志力的一种新的理论。故D项正确。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。Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to handle different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are：Get the factsWhy is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you cant possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. _16_ When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree._17_ You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.Analyze the facts_18_ And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences (后果) of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what Im going to do about it. After carefully weighing all t
