When a running event is longer than 26.2 miles, it is called an ultramarathon.There are two kinds of ultramarathons. In the first kind of ultramarathon, runners have to cover a specific distance—50 miles, for example. In the second kind of ultramarathon, runners have a limited amount of time, such as 24 hours, to cover as much distance as they can. Some ultramarathons are run as loops around a track or course. Others are run on trails through forests, deserts, or mountains. Many ultramarathons that are run on trails include natural obstacles that a runner will have to overcome, such as rocky paths or bad weather. Ultramarathons are run all over the world, even on Antarctica. The most famous race across Antarctica is called The Last Desert Race. Runners pay over $14,000 to compete in this race. Besides,they must also buy special equipment to protect themselves against the extreme cold. People who want to train to run in an ultramarathon should first gain experience running regular marathons. Once you have completed a few marathons, you can add more and more distance every time you run. Besides practicing, there are a few other things you can do to help you prepare to run an ultramarathon. First, pick a location that is close to home,which is safer because you will be more familiar with the area. Next, make sure to bring snacks, sunscreen, and extra shoes. You should also remember to drink eight ounces of water or a sports drink every 15 to 20 minutes. Your pace is also very important. When you are running an ultramarathon, you should start running more slowly than you do when you run a regular marathon. Finally, many people who run ultramarathons say that it is easier and more fun to train with friends than it is to train alone. So if you are interested in running an ultramarathon, you should also try to get one of your friends interested in it too. 【1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To provide basic information about ultramarathons. B.To help people train to run an ultramarathon. C.To compare ultramarathons to regular marathons. D.To share his or her personal experience with ultramarathons. 【2】What makes The Last Desert Race so difficult to compete in? I. It is very expensive to travel to Antarctica. II. The weather in Antarctica is very cold. III. It is much longer than other ultramarathons. A.I only. B.I and II only. C.II and III only. D.I, II, and III. 【3】Why is it better to train for an ultramarathon with friends? A.Because it is safer to run ultramarathon with friends. B.Because you can split the cost of a trip to Antarctica with a friend. C.Because you typically train harder in the presence of others.

Dear Mr. Palmer, I am writing to express my disappointment that the Athletic Center has chosen to close its on-site nursery,which provides an indispensable service for mothers who wish to exercise and be physically fit. It is also the Center’s commitment to the health of the community. Closing the nursery is endangering the wonderful, family-oriented atmosphere. I hope you will reconsider this discouraging decision. For mothers like me, a gym nursery is absolutely essential. Many of us cannot afford to hire babysitters just so we can go to the gym. By running a nursery, the Athletic Center enables mothers of all income levels to work out without much inconvenience or expense. I have really benefited from this service and would hate to see it go. I also believe that providing a nursery has helped the Athletic Center to fulfill its mission of “building a healthier Savannah.” By making it easier for mothers to exercise, the gym has reached out to those who often struggle to stay fit. I worry that by closing the nursery, the Center will not be as effective at putting its own principles into action. I deeply respect the Center for its contributions to the health of our whole community, and I would love to see those contributions continue. I know that many other gym members also believe that the Center’s commitment to “a healthier Savannah” is what sets it apart from other local gyms. I enjoy working out in such a unique, family-friendly atmosphere, and I consider many of my fellow gym members to be close friends. I have heard that if the nursery closes, many mothers will leave the Center in favor of a gym that can offer childcare, which will negatively affect all members by changing the wonderful atmosphere that we currently enjoy. I would very much appreciate it if you would reconsider closing the nursery. I would be very disheartened to see it go. Sincerely, Virginia O. Malcolm 【1】What does the underlined word probably mean? A.Essential. B.Natural. C.Hopeful. D.Wonderful. 【2】Why does the author mention “building a healthier Savannah”? A.To accuse Jay Palmer of dishonesty. B.To remind the Center of its commitment. C.To suggest a new choice for the Center. D.To make the goal of the Center clear. 【3】What can we infer from the 4th paragraph? A.The Center may close the nursery. B.The Center may keep the nursery. C.The Center may lose some members. D.The Center may lose lots of money. 【4】Which word best describes the author’s emotion? A.Disappointed. B.Angry. C.Cautious. D.Ashamed. |

One thing in which I think I take too much pride, at times, is my academic performance. In the past, I managed to get grades on exams that were unbelievable, even to myself, for the amount of studying I had done. The exam may have just happened to ask the questions to which I knew the answers, even though there were many possible questions that would have stumped me. I’ve always done well in mathematics, but a few times, I had to step back and take a second look at how much pride I had in my ability. Upon receiving the score for my second exam in MATH170, I was rather disturbed. My score was 79%. I had planned to use my math courses to balance the grades I might get in my English and writing courses, so that score was acceptable. It got worse still. In Statistics and Calculus, I received failing grades on homework assignments. Every time I got these bad grades, I felt the same. I started to think that maybe I really couldn’t do these things. After giving an honest effort, however, I did better. The thing in which I haven’t enough pride is my worth as a person with whom people like to associate. I give up opportunities to socialize because I don’t think anyone will want to talk to me. Because of this trait of mine, I have very few friends. Perhaps spending the majority of my time alone isn’t bad; it is what I’m used to, but I bet that by living a life of partial seclusion, I miss out on interesting and amusing life experiences that could be beneficial. I have illustrated how the extremes of pride can be harmful. In my case, too much pride in academic ability can lead to failing grades, and not enough pride in oneself as a social individual can lead to a lonelier life. A moderate amount of pride leads to a clear view of the agendas of life, allowing one to make good decisions regarding these. 【1】Why did the author get good grades in the past? A.Because of hard work. B.Because of much pride. C.Because of good luck. D.Because of high intelligence. 【2】How did the author feel after exam failures? A.A little ashamed. B.Less confident. C.Less determined. D.A little grateful. 【3】What is the author’s attitude to spending most of his/her time alone? A.Carefree. B.Tolerant. C.Regretful. D.Positive. 【4】Which is the best title for the text? A.Avoiding being too proud. B.Changing the poor character. C.Correcting the bad behaviour. D.Balancing the pride degree. |

Internet addiction is a common problem that can be just as damaging as any other form of addiction.【1】There are several ways to help reduce your internet trouble. 【2】 Exercising, reading a book, writing, studying, knitting, and doing crossword puzzles are all better alternatives to mindlessly browsing the internet. If you want to cut back on how often you are using the internet but aren’t sure what to do with the extra time, identify a few activities that you enjoy and pick one to do instead when you’re feeling the urge to go online. You can also use relaxation techniques to reduce stress and anxiety，for example, yoga, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and deep breathing.【3】Therefore, instead of reaching for your smart phone or laptop when you are feeling stressed, try using one of these techniques to calm yourself. Besides, you can reach out to friends and family to build more interpersonal connections.【4】If you’re eager for social interaction, call up a friend and make plans to do something fun, or arrange a family dinner or game night. Finally, watch for signs of internet addiction and seek help if you notice them. If you are concerned about becoming addicted to the internet, staying aware of the signs of internet addiction may prevent the situation from getting worse.【5】Besides, immediate action is always the top priority. A.Sometimes you are just lonely. B.You can go for a walk in nature. C.Too worried about it? D.Anyway, every little adds up. E.You may fall back into the habit again. F.They are all great ways to relax. G.You can do some healthy activities instead. |
