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 didn’t 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 couldn’t 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 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”.‎ ‎24.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.‎ A. was well trained B. made up his mind to run C. felt scared D. lost hope ‎25.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?‎ A. To show he was not talented in sports. B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.‎ C. To thank his teacher for the support . D. To share a precious memory.‎ ‎26.How was the author’s first marathon?‎ A. He got the first prize. B. He quit halfway. C. He made it. D. He walked to the end.‎ ‎27.What ’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. Many heads are better than one. B. Failure is the mother of success.‎ C. Victory belongs to the most persevering(不屈不挠的). D. One is never too old to learn.‎ C As an oceanographer（海洋学家）， I’ve spent many years developing robots to explore the ocean, and now we’re putting that technology to use in our JASON Project, a program that’s designed to inspire students and get them interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In theaters throughout the country, we bring kids together and send back to them on large screens our live explorations of large ‎ areas of the globe. Not only are the kids observers, but they can operate robots moving across the area while broadcasting images back to them. The kids have the sensation(感受） of really being at the site with us.‎ I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to a new kind of travel. In the next 10 or 15 years, people will have rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate (模拟) other environment. I like to call this rooms “home domes” -- small theaters with screens and advanced equipment that can reproduce the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of a desert. or a forest. Hand in hand with these rooms, I can see a market for travel robots located in countries around the world. You could rent (租)a robot working in a rain forest, then go into your home dome, where you yourself operate the robot’s movements. The equipment in the room will receive the sensations in the robot’s environment and simulate them for you.‎ Today, much of the world’s population never travels more than 50 or 60 miles from home. And even a person with enough time can see only a part of the earth’s sights. But this new way of travel will cost so much less in both time and money and allow people to see a lot more of the globe. And simulated travel will also help protect our planet. You can’t take large groups of tourists to look at Dian Fossey’s gorillas（大程猩）． But a small robot, with no animal smell, can get very close to a gorilla and send the sights, sounds, and smells back to a million people.‎ ‎28.The main purpose of the JASON Project is to .‎ A. design robots B. educate children C. explore the world D. improve technology ‎29.Without going outside, people in “home domes”can .‎ A. enjoy a guided trip B. get very close to nature C. develop and operate robots D. send images back to scientists ‎30.What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of robot technology?‎ A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Dissatisfied.‎ ‎31.According to the text, simulated travel .‎ A. has been widely accepted B. costs lots of time and money C. is harmful to the environment D. is time-and money-saving D Reducing plastic waste isn't easy because the cheap material is found in almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.‎ David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the country's high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the world's worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.‎ After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it's easy for the company to find the material.‎ Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after they're thrown away.‎ While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.‎ ‎32.What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?‎ A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.‎ B. How to deal with single-use packaging.‎ C. Means to contribute to the country's economy.‎ D. What nutritious materials for people to use.‎ ‎33.Why did Evoware choose seaweed?‎ A. It could be found everywhere in his country.‎ B. It was most commonly used for packaging.‎ C. It didn't require much space and was easy to get.‎ D. It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.‎ ‎34.What can we infer from Christian's words?‎ A. Sometimes it's hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.‎ B. Their seaweed products have won government support.‎ C. Their new products have received worldwide popularity.‎ D. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.‎ ‎35.What does the underlined word “hard-sell” (in Para. 5) refer to?‎ A. Something lasting long. B. Something commonly seen.‎ C. Something easy to get. D. Something hard to accept.‎ 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。‎ Many students want to learn English well,but don’t know where to start.Here is some advice.‎ Before you begin(or go back to) studying English, ask yourself:Why do you want to study English?36.
