The father asked his son, “What is this?”The son replied, “It is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”The son said, “Father, I have just now told you Its a crow.”After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this?”At this time some expression of irritation was felt in the sons tone when he said to his father. “Its a crow, a crow, a crow.”A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated, I rather felt affection for my innocent child.” 41. The underlined word “irritation” in the passage means _. A. puzzlement B. annoyance C. patience D. excitement 42. Why did the old father keep asking his son the same question? A. Because he developed a kind of disease. B. Because he was so boring that he wanted to play a joke with his son. C.

How old was the father when he wrote down this page in the diary? A. 35 years old B. 38 years old C. 45 years old D. 80 years old 44. The reason why the father did not feel irritated when his son asked him the same question for 23 times is that _. A. he knew his son was still so innocent B. the father was more patient than the son C. the father had already got used to this kind of situation D. the father loved his son so much that he never got tired of doing this again and again 45. What would the son probably say after reading the words in the diary? A. “Sorry, dad. Its all my fault to forget that.” B. Nothing but felt rather ashamed. C. “Sorry, dad. I shouldnt have done that to you when I was such a young child.”D. “Thank you, dad. I will do the same to my son.”BMore and more people take part in marathons these days over 30,000 people will run the London Marathon this weekend, for instance. But its not just the 26 miles and 385 yards that could be a daunting prospect. “I have to admit to being completely frustrated by the blocking and for 18-19 miles was just keeping away from people and being held up,” one participant grumbled after the 2012 London Marathon. “I had to overtake a lot of people and ended up with bruised（淤肿的）forearms from all the elbows,” said another.How do such crowding problems arise, and could they be reduced? Some researchers believe that we can find the answers through a more familiar system in which jams appear road traffic flow. Martin Treiber, of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, has previously developed models for traffic flow. One of the first attempts to model traffic flow was made in the 1950s by James Lighthill and his collaborator Gerard Whitham of Manchester University. They considered the traffic as a kind of liquid flowing down a pipe, and looked at how the flow changes as the fluid gets denser(浓稠). At first the flow rate increases as the density increases, since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time. But if the density becomes too high, theres a risk of jams, and the flow rate drops sharply.Treibers model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race. With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the “carrying capacity”(承载能力)at each point on the route. This allows Treiber to figure out how blocking might depend on the race conditions for example, for different starting procedures. Some marathons start by letting all the runners set off at once (which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward). Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, and let them start in a series of waves.Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig half-marathon in central Germany, which attracts around 6,000 participants. The traditional route had to be changed in 2013, because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely. It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel. Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options. The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used. Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge. On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route. The run organizers consulted Treibers team, and eventually chose this option.46. What is the worst thing while running a marathon? A. The long distance. B. Too many participants. C. The dangerous blocking. D. Serious injuries in forearms.47. Which of the following statements is true? A. James Lighthill is the first expert trying to model traffic flow. B. The denser the flow is, the faster the flow rate becomes. C. The flow rate increases in the beginning because fewer people passed together. D. The flow rate increases first and then decreases later when the flow is too denser. 48. What is NOT true about the Rennsteig? A. It has much less participants than the London Marathon in 2014. B. It has a shorter distance than the London Marathon. C. The route was changed because the traditional one is not safe any longer. D. The participants running this marathon will pass a tunnel because this choice is safer. 49. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Make a comparison between marathon and road traffic. B. Running a marathon is somewhat dangerous if it is not well organized. C. Introduce a new technology to solve the blocking problem in marathon. D. Some advice for people who are to run a marathon.
