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, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.21. A month before the marathon, the author _.A. was well trainedB. felt scared C. made up his mind to runD. lost hope22. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.23. How was the authors first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end. BTo Friend or Not to FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when were in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 24. From Paragraph 2, we learn that _.A. parents feel secure about their privacy onlineB. social networks successfully fill the generation gapC. parents have realized the importance of social networksD. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate25. Teenagers may refuse a parents friend request because _.A. they hide something from their parentsB. their parents make negative comments on themC. their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD. they are unwilling to be watched by parents26. The passage is written mainly for _.A. teenagers B. parents C. teachersD. researchers COne of Indias top engineering schools has restricted(限制) Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide（自杀） in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbais 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.27. According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai are likely to _. A. perform well in studies B. participate in social activities学.科 .C. know their classmates better D. feel lonely and even suicidal28. The underlined word “dysfunctional” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_”. A. unpopular B. meaningfulC. abnormal D. exciting29. What measures have been taken in IIT-Mumbai? A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m. B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus. C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories. D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.30. We may infer from the last paragraph that _. A. all electronics students hate the banning order B. some students complain about the banning order C. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever since D. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet第二节 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。选项中有两选项为多余选项。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Recently, Ive been following a simple rule that is helping me crush procrastination(拖延症) and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time 31 There are two parts to the 2-Minute Rule.Part 1If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now 32 For example, washing your dishes immediately after your meal, tossing the laundry in the washing machine, taking out the garbage, sending that email, and so onIf a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right nowPart 2When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to doCan all of your goals be accomplished in less than two minutes? Obviously notBut, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less 33 It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals，but I beg to differThe 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia(惯性)of life 34 I love the 2-Minute Rule because it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get startedThe most important part of any new habit is getting startednot just the first time，but each timeIts not about performance，its about consistently taking actionI cant guarantee whether or not the 2-Minute Rule will work for you 35 Anyone can spare the next 120 secondsUse this time to get one thing doneGoA.
