When I was thirtyone, I was in a serious car accident. The doctor told me that they would try to get me to walk“normally” but I would never run againterrible news for someone who views running as the oxygen she breathes. The doctors were right. For the next nine and a half years, I was unable to run more than twentyfive feet.In 2020，I began selftraining to take part in a 60mile walk. Three months into preparing, I realized that walking 45 hours a day was too long. If only I could jog part of itthat would cost me less time. I started jogging without my knees aching. Slowly, I increased the distance. The doctors were proved wrongit only took nine and a half years to do so.While practicing, I suffered a lossa dear friend suddenly died.His work had been to help women to accept themselves and reach their fullest potential. He believed that people should let nothing hold them back from achieving their goals. Soon after his death, a crazy thought entered my mind: what if I could run the LA Marathon? I knew that if I didnt train to my fullest, the doctors would win. So I trained seven days a week. And succeeded in crossing the finish lines of many marathons all over the United States to the astonishment of my doctors. They never believed I would achieve that.The aches and pains I experience while training and racing are nothing compared to the suffering people whom I respect must accept.1What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?AShe loved running very much.BShe lost heart after the accident.CShe often felt it was hard to breathe.DShe didnt believe what the doctors said.2The author tried jogging because she wanted to _.Aprotect her feetBget more practiceCsave some timeDcatch up with others3Why did the author decide to join in the marathon?ABecause she wanted to make more friends.BBecause she was so sorry for the loss of a friend.CBecause she wanted to prove the doctors were wrong.DBecause she was encouraged by her dead friends words.4The writers story tells us _.Awhere there is a will, there is a wayBa friend in need is a friend in deedCby falling we learn to go safelyDa good medicine tastes bitterBTo see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another.Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal youve met online，or a business friend.You can have someone to talk toTraveling alone is fun，but wouldnt you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place youre traveling to.You dont have to ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country.You can have someone to share the expenses withOne of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You cant simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food.Of course，you cant simply go back without bringing any souvenirs to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friendHaving a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each others heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for youWhen youre in a foreign land，youll never be really safe.You dont know the rules as well as the culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why dont you find a travel companion now？Lets find out how.5Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo introduce a travel company.BTo encourage us to have a travel partner.CTo explain how to be a perfect travel partner.DTo tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.6Which of the following statements agrees with the authors opinion?ATraveling alone is not fun.BBuying souvenirs isnt necessary.CMany people fall in love when traveling.DIts better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.7The following paragraph will probably talk about_.Ahow to get along with a travel partnerBhow travel can benefit peopleCwhat we can learn from travelDhow to find a travel partnerCCycling for AirTed Schredd doesnt like cars. He wants people to stop driving because cars make the air dirty. Ted had an idea. He said, “Im going to cycle around North America. I want to show everyone that cycling is a fun way to get around. If more people ride bikes, the air will be cleaner.”He left his hometown with $ 160 in his pocket. When he got to San Diego, he met another cyclist. The cyclist invited Ted to speak at a big meeting about the environment. He said，“Well pay your airfare to Texas and well pay you to talk about your cycling trip.” Two hours later, Ted was on a plane to the environmental conference and to a big surprise!While he was at the conference, he met Deanna. It was love at first sight! They talked for six hours straight.The next day, Ted called Deanna and asked her to finish the trip with him. Deanna said yes, sold everything in her apartment, gave her notice at work, and was on the road with Ted 20 days later!“It was difficult at first，” said Deanna. “Ted got up every morning at 6：00 am., but I wanted to sleep until noon.” After a few days, they started having fun. As they cycled from Florida to Montreal and then back to Vancouver, every day was an adventure. People paid for their food in restaurants and gave them extra money. Some people gave them $ 50 or $ 100. They slept in peoples backyards and drank beer with motorcycle gangs.On their way back to Vancouver, they stopped in Edmonton to visit Teds relatives. During the stopover, they got married. People tied a “Just Married” sign and tin cans to the backs of their bikes. They now want to write a book about their trip. “We want people to know that you can be an environmentalist and still have fun，” Schredd said.8Ted Schredd went cycling because _.Ahe loves adventureBcycling is a lot of funChe wanted to find himself a wifeDhe supports environmental protection9The “big surprise” he had at the conference was that_.Ahe met another cyclist who wanted to join himBhe fell in love with a girl thereChe gave a long talk lasting 6 hourDhe had a lot of fun talking about his cycling trip10According to the passage, Deanna _.Aquit her job to join Ted on his tripBsold all her possessions to pay for Teds tripCwas fired by her employer for not going to workDasked for a long leave from work to join Ted in his trip11During the trip, Ted and Deanna _.Afound it hard to get up earlyBwere attacked by motorcycle gangsCdid not have to pay for their meals in restaurantsDdecided to get marriedDAmericans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people，the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There，the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport.This passport is a government request for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a governments pledge(保证)that the people will obey the rules of the host country.To receive a passport from the government，a traveller must prove that he is an American citizen(公民)An American cannot go abroad without a passport. Only certain close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.Stuck inside the passport is the travellers picture.

Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years._16_Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography._17_ For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”_18_You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book._19_For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” _20_ However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.AIt is very hard to break a code without the code book.BIn any language, some letters are used more than others.COnly people who know the keyword can read the message.DAs long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.EYou can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.FWith a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.GAnother way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.III. 完形填空：（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I used to be a shy girl who never joined in any activities.When_21_invited me，I always_22_and said，“I am only a small potato.
