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. T was all bout 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 hungry!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”.25. A month before the marathon, the author .A. made up his mind to run B. felt scaredC. was well trained D. lost hope26. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To show he was not talented in sports.C. To amuse the readers with a funny storyD. To share a wonderful memory.27. How was the authors first marathon?A. He quit halfway. B. He got the first prize.C. He made it. D. He walked to the end28. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. A winner is one with a great effort of will.D. one is never too old to learn.CUp to now, more than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2020, a priceless bronze pigs head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 Million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.29. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to recover cultural relics.B. Stanley Ho donated a bronze pigs head to BeijingC. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.D. The effort to recover Chinese cultural relics.30. Most of lost Chinese cultural relics .A. are housed in foreign museums.B. are owned by private collectorsC. were bought for little money by foreignersD. have been recovered by the Chinese government31. Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?A. It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.B. It was donated by the French government to China.C. It is now in the Ploy Art Museum in Beijing.D. It was made in the Qing Dynasty.32. The underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “ ”.A. possible B. difficult C. popular D. carefulDIts known that Americans wear black for mourning(哀悼) while Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as symbols of God. Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities(对立) with the West, as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string. Now in the University of California, Berkeley, a psychologist, has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American culturespolarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.His findings go far toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing Scholar, who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology. And Americans could profit enormously from the Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life, he said.“Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument,” said Peng. “The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really dont need to find the truth, or maybe there isnt any.” Chinese people, said Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages, because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions. They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans, he added.In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school, Peng found that Americans were “non-compromising(折中), blaming one sideusually the mother for the causes of the problems, demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise” in dealing with the conflict. Compared to this angry, blaming American method, the Chinese were paragons(模范) of compromise, finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle.33. In Paragraph 1, the author sets examples in order to .A. expose(暴露) the contradiction（矛盾）between Chinese and AmericansB. generalize the main idea of the passageC. find the reason for the differencesD. show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture34. The studies show .A. an American treats his or her mother badlyB. different ideas of treating the agedC. different personality of Chinese and AmericansD. different hobbies of Americans and Chinese35.The main idea of the passage is .A. extreme ends of the stringB. polarities between American and Chinese culturesC. different attitudes towards the agedD. different manners in social occasions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。The pine tree(松树) is a special kind of tree. _36_This is because many people put pine trees in their homes at Christmas time.
