Her running career ‎ began in a 400-meter race in her school. When she was 17, Derartu became a runner in the Ethiopian police club. Her dream was to compete with the world's best runners. She joined the Ethiopian national team in 1992. And in the same year she won the 10,000-meter race at the Barcelona Olympic Games. Derartu goes down in the history books as the first African woman to win an Olympic gold medal.‎ In 1996 at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships Tulu lost her shoe in the race and had to fight back to get 4th place. Also that year, because of injury, she only finished 4th at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. In 1998 she had her first baby, but came back in 2000. She won the 10 000-meter Olympic gold for the second time in Sydney. She is the only woman to have done that in the short history of the event. ‎ She took time off again for another child in 2006. Nobody was surprised when she came back in 2008, getting second place in the Madrid Marathon. In 2009 she became the first Ethiopian woman to win the New York Marathon For many girls, both African and others, she has become a symbol of what women can achieve, and a model to follow.‎ ‎4.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.‎ C Have you ever tried to stand an egg on its end? It's almost impossible, but it’s said that every Spring Equinox(春分) you will be able to do just that. There is some truth to this, but there is also a very important piece of information that might surprise you.‎ The angle of Earth facing toward the sun changes throughout the year, and it also changes the length of our days. The Spring Equinox fell on March 20 this year. On this day, Earth’s “axis(轴)” is vertical to the sun. This means that the length of daytime and nighttime is exactly the same for one day The saying that an egg can stand on one end during the Spring Equinox might come from a Chinese idea. It’s the very difficult to balance an egg because the yolk(蛋黄) is off-center, and it will usually just fall over. But the idea is that Earth is more balanced on that day, so there could be some special gravitational(重力的) forces helping out.‎ However, this isn't true. If you focus long enough, you can actually do this any ‎ day of the year. There’s nothing special about the Spring Equinox when it comes to egg balancing.‎ Some people think that the imperfections (缺点) of the egg are what helps it balance, but this might just make it a little easier. All you really need is a lot of patience, and you will be able to successfully balance an egg on its end Even though the old theory is wrong, go ahead and try it for yourself during the Spring Equinox---or any other day, for that matter.‎ ‎8. What can make an egg stand on its end?‎ A. Weather. B. Weight.‎ C. Balance. D. Season.‎ ‎9. What does the writer think of standing an egg on its end?‎ A. Anyone can do it if he will. B Only in spring people can do it C. The old saying is correct. D. It still has many imperfections ‎10. Where can we most probably read this text?‎ A. In a personal diary. B. In a science report.‎ C. In a history textbook D. In a fiction story.‎ ‎11. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. Keeping Balanced B. Spring Equinox C. Earth’s “Axis” D. Standing an Egg D I’ve seen countless patients arrive complaining about gut (肠道) problems. Once we fixed their diets and solved their gut problems, their seasonal allergies(过敏) also disappeared!‎ One patient struggled with allergies. She nearly died twice from allergies. She arrived at my office on 42 different pills; yet, she still felt awful. It turned out that she had leaky gut (肠漏症). We healed her leaky gut and calmed down her allergies. Thankfully, after six weeks, she was able to stop the 42 pills she used daily. For her and countless other patients, a key solution involves getting your gut healthy. To do that and remove seasonal allergies, I've found these four ways really helpful.‎ Replace bad with good. A healthy diet becomes the first step for a healthy gut. Take out the bad and put in the good. Remove wheat, corn, dairy, soy and alcohol. Eat a high-fiber diet. Avoid anything that has fats from olive oil, nuts, and omega-3 fats like those found in small fish.‎ Use powerful gut-healing nutrients, including probiotics(益生菌). Other gut-healing nutrients include fish oil.‎ Manage stress. A mind-body disconnection can mean being stressed out and tired, and your gut can be vitiated (损害) and your seasonal allergies will become worse as a result. Do some exercise that can help you relax like yoga (瑜伽) every day.‎ Get enough sleep. A lack of sleep can also increase your risk of diabetes (糖尿病),‎ leading to obesity. Aim for at least eight hours of good sleep every night.‎ If you follow the ways listed above, surely you’ll have healthier gut, reducing the ‎ chance of suffering seasonal allergies as a result.‎ ‎12. What does the author probably think is the key to solving that patient’s problem?‎ A. Healing her gut problem. B. Taking 42 different pills C. Calming her down. D. Finding a boyfriend.‎ ‎13. What does the author mean by saying “Replace bad with good.” in the third paragraph?‎ A. Replace bad steps with good ones. ‎ B. Replace unhealthy food with healthy food.‎ C. Replace leaky gut with healthy gut.‎ D. Replace bad friends with good ones.‎ ‎14.The passage is likely to appear in a (an) .‎ A. news report B. text book C. medical journal D. advertisement ‎15. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. How to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. B. How to avoid long-term diseases.‎ C. How to make good use of nutrients. D. How to get rid of seasonal allergies.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ E This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.‎ ‎ 16 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.‎ But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements ‎ in human history. 17 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?‎ So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?‎ First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 18 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.‎ It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 19 ‎ Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 20 ‎ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds. ‎ A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.‎ B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.‎ C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.‎ D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.‎ E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.‎ F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.‎ G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ ‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ There was a man who played the piano in a small bar. There were not too many  21 ,but because he was a good piano player, some people   22  came in every night just to hear him play. But one night, a patron (老主顾) told him he didn’t want to hear him play but to sing a song. ‎ The man said, “I have never  23  that before in public. I think I’m 24  at playing ‎ the piano. ” ‎ But the customer  25 . He told the waiter, “I’m  26  listening to the piano day after ‎ day. I want to hear something new and I want that guy to sing. ” The waiter 27 across the room, “Hey, buddy! If you want to get 28 , sing a song.
