I’ve always loved to run. Ever since I was a boy, running has made me feel free. But when I was a young adult, I became blind. I had to give up running for years. Then I heard about running with human guides, and I decided to give it a try. I was even able to enter the New York City and Boston Marathons five years in a row. In 2019, I ran the first half-marathon with the help of guide dogs. But I know it’s not possible for everyone to have a clever, fast guide dog like my Blaze. I run an organization called Guiding Eyes for the Blind, to help the blind receive running guide dogs that can help them live more active and independent lives. In the fall of 2019, I asked that question to a group of designers and technologists at Google. I wasn’t anticipating much more than an interesting conversation, but by the end of the day they had built a rough application that allowed a phone to recognize a line taped to the ground, and give audio cues (语音信号) to me while I walked with Blaze. Within a few months, we tested it on an indoor track on my own. I was able to run eight laps. It was the first unguided mile I had run in decades. After months of efforts, the team was finally ready to test the tech outside for the first time. I’d been waiting 25 years to run outdoors on my own. When I arrived at the finish line, I was completely overcome with emotion. For the first time, I didn’t feel like a blind man. I felt free. 【1】Which of the following can best describe the writer? A.Calm and quiet. B.Humorous and honest. C.Kind and easygoing. D.Determined and positive. 【2】Which word can best explain the underlined word “anticipating”? A.Preparing. B.Expecting. C.Explaining. D.Continuing. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.He was happy to be set free. B.He was able to run outdoors with the App. C.He was satisfied to win the running race. D.He was pleased to run without any help.

Tropical rainforests (热带雨林) are home to native peoples who rely on their surroundings for food, shelter, and medicines. Today very few forest people in many areas like the Philippines, Papua New Guinea live in traditional ways; most have been displaced by outside settlers or have been forced to give up their lifestyles by governments. Of the remaining forest people, the Amazon supports the largest native or native populations, although these people, too, have been affected by the modern world. While they still depend on the forest for traditional hunting and gathering, most Amerindians, as American native people are called, grow crops, use western goods, and make regular trips to towns and cities to bring foods and products to market. In Africa there are native forest people sometimes known as pygmies. The tallest of these people, also called the Mbuti, are not more than 5 feet in height. Their small size enables them to move about the forest more quickly than taller people. Tropical rainforests have supported humans since ancient times. Although forest life cannot be described as easy, these peoples have built their lives around the surrounding forest and its systems. Still, these forest people can teach us a lot about the rainforest. Their knowledge of medicinal plants used for treating illness is valuable, and they have a great understanding of the ecology (生态学) of the Amazon rainforest. As a result, they are a great storehouse of the knowledge about the forest. They know the medicinal functions of plants and understand the value of the forest as an undamaged ecosystem. As forests fall, these native peoples lose their homes and culture, resulting in the drop of the native population. 【1】Where do the greatest number of native rainforest peoples live today? A.In the Philippines . B.In Africa. C.In the Amazon. D.In Papua New Guinea. 【2】What do we know about most Amerindians? A.They know little about growing some crops. B.They make trips to towns and cities for trade. C.They would like to use eastern goods in daily life. D.They seldom know traditional hunting and gathering. 【3】What can we learn from the third paragraph? A.Forest people can get benefits from rainforests. B.We can learn how to build storehouses from forest people . C.Forest people live an easy and comfortable life as we imagine. D.The knowledge of medicinal plants for treating illness can be ignored. 【4】What is the purpose of this text? A.To make an advertisement for tropical rainforests. B.To introduce the lifestyles of the native forest people. C.To spread the knowledge and value of the forest plants. D.To raise the awareness of protecting tropical rainforests.

阅读短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 In school all over the world most boys and girls are learning a second language. Everybody knows his own language, but another one is very useful, especially when we travel to other countries. If we go to France, we ought to be able to speak French, and in Germany people will expect us to understand German. How many languages are there in the world? These are about fifteen hundred, but many of them are not very important. English is one of the most important because so many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 people speak it as their own language, and another 200,000,000 use it as a second language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it. Many millions of schoolboys and schoolgirls are trying to do so. Which is the best way to learn a second language? We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what children do. They listen to what people say and try to imitate (模仿) what they hear. When they want something, they have to ask for it. They are using the language, talking in it, and thinking in it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly. It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write.We imitate what we hear. In school, although you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later.
