B．AFailedFatherC．TrustYou，Father D．AWastedLifeA解析：标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了Tony由于大儿子的去世以及妻子的离开而终日借酒后一段第二句中“Themostimportantisnotwhetherwecanreachthepeakbutwhetherwehavemadethegreatest”相呼应。故答案选C。13．A.win B．enjoyC．complete D．experienceC解析：A项意为“赢”；B项意为“享受”；C项意为“完成”；D项意为“经历”。根据下一句中的“Iwanttoruntothegoal”可知，这位年轻的马拉松选手知道自己的祖国送自己到赛场不是为了让自己站在比赛的起跑线上，而是为了让自己完成比赛。故答案选C。14．A.fallenbehind B．foughtagainstC．competedwith D．learnedfromA解析：A项意为“落后”；B项意为“同……作斗争”；C项意为“同……竞争”；D项意为“向……学习”。根据上文可知，这位年轻的马拉松选手右腿受伤，比赛结束后，他仍在空无一人的赛场上继续跑着，直到跑到终点为止，因此他是最后一名。故答案选A，意为“落后于其他所有选手”。15．A.cheer B．trustC．admire D．chooseA解析：A项意为“欢呼”；B项意为“信任，相信”；C项意为“敬仰”；D项意为“选择”。根据上文可知，体育场空空荡荡，自然没有观众再为这个年轻人欢呼。故答案选A。16．A.warning B．seizingC．criticizing D．watchingD解析：A项意为“警告”；B项意为“抓住”；C项意为“批评”；D项意为“观看”。与语境“theaudience”呼应可推知，本句句意为：尽管观众不再为我欢呼，但是我的祖国还在远处看着我……故答案选D。17．A.grateful B．mysteriousC．touching D．outstandingC解析：A项意为“感恩的”；B项意为“神秘的”；C项意为“感人的”；D项意为“杰出的”。根据上一句“TearswelledupinGreenspan’seyes.”可推知，此处指这一场景很感人。故答案选C。18．A.but B．soC．until D．unlessA解析：A项意为“但是”；B项意为“因此”；C项意为“直到”；D项意为“除非”。根据语境可知，此处上下句之间有逻辑上的转折关系，指虽然每个人都想到达人生的顶峰，但我们应该明白不是每个人都有能力到达人生顶峰。故答案选A。19．A.time B．moneyC．courage D．abilityD解析：A项意为“时间”；B项意为“钱”；C项意为“勇气”；D项意为“能力”。根据上文可知，这位年轻的选手受伤了，因此无法圆满地完成自己的任务，但是他还是克服了困难，坚持到最后，跑到了终点。故此处指“我们应明白因为各人能力不同，不是每个人都能到达人生顶峰”。故答案选D。20．A.efforts B．profitsC．differences D．achievementsA解析：A项意为“努力”；B项意为“利润”；C项意为“不同，差异”；D项意为“成就”。通读全文可知，这个故事告诉我们，成功与否并不重要，重要的是有没有清晰的目标，是否尽了最大的努力去达成。故答案选A。Ⅳ.语法填空(2016·太原高三模拟)Whatshouldyoudoifyouarenotabletosleep?Thebestthingistotrytoavoidbadhabits.1.youalwaysgotobedandgetupatthesametime,thissetsa2.(health)rhythminyourlife.Don’tdrinkcaffeinedrinksintheevening.Smokingandalcoholcanalsokeepyouawake.Youmayhavetrouble3.(sleep)ifyouhaveaheavymealjustbeforeyougotobed.Youmayalsofinditdifficult4.(get)tosleepifyouhaveaproblemorsomethingelseonyourmind.Thisis5.youneedtorelax.Asyoulieinbed,tensethemusclesinyourfeetandthenrelax6..Continueupthebody,tensingandrelaxingthemusclesuntilyoureachthehead.Startwiththefeetagainifyouarestilltense.Ifyou7.(think)aboutaproblemoraboutsomethingexcitingthatisgoingtohappenthenextday，getupandwriteaboutit.Thatwillhelptotakeitoffyourmind.Youcanalsogetupandread,butbesuretochoose8.bookthatisnottoodifficult.9.，youmaygetsointerestedthatyouwon’twanttogotosleepevenwhenyoufeelsleepy.Sleepwell!Sweet10.(dream)!【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。失眠会对人体健
