Top Four Marathons Portland Marathon The marathon welcomes 8, 000 people every fall. It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks. TCS New York City Marathon As the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile. The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park. Honolulo Marathon The marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park. The start time is at 5: 00 am with finish line services officially open until 2: 00 pm. However, the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4: 00 pm. Boston Marathon The marathon is held in May every year. For this event running isn’t allowed as the city streets aren’t closed off. Participants must instead make their way along sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police. The event attracts over 8,000 people who can choose anything from three-mile walk to the full 26.2-mile Boston Marathon route. 【1】Where is a new marathon runner most likely to receive enthusiastic cheers?

“Your mother’s breast cancer has returned, and it’s metastasized (扩散),” said my mother’s doctor. I held the phone, tears in my eyes. Even as a health-care professional, I had never really been able to do anything for my mother. She’d always been the caretaker, especially when I was in my teens battling my own incurable illness. She’d arranged and accompanied me on trips to the Cleveland Clinic. During those long train rides, she’d always reach into her bag and produce a gift-a Seventeen magazine-to lift my spirits. Shortly after her diagnosis, I stopped by Mother’s house. She’d wanted to live at home to look after herself while she could, so my sister and I took turns to check in on her. As her health worsened, Mother eventually decided to stay with me in my house on the weekends and let me care for her. After I helped her into the house, she would stretch out on the sola, my dog Spanky sleeping at her feet. I’d make us cups of Red Zinger tea. She’d look at me and say, "My purse, honey. Inside would be one of her surprises, like a bag of treats for Spanky or a new pen for me. At the end of her life, Mother was no longer conscious. Her wish was to be in my house. The night before, I moved all the furniture to prepare for the delivery of her medical equipment. The next morning, two guys lifted the sofa to move it, making room for the hospital bed. “What do we do with these, ma’am?” one asked. I looked over. He held up two beautifully-wrapped (包裹) gifts. How had they gotten there? I’d moved that sofa the night before and seen nothing! My hands shook as I unwrapped a toy for Spanky and a box of Red Zinger tea. At that moment, it was as if my mother spoke directly to my heart, “Our little traditions will get you through this, Roberta, even if I can’t take part anymore.” 【1】What can be known about the author as a teenager? A.She volunteered in hospitals. B.She loved traveling so much. C.She was in really poor health D.She often wrote to magazines. 【2】What kind of woman is the author’s mother according to the text? A.Cautious and organized. B.Hardworking and honest. C.Humorous and generous. D.Caring and independent. 【3】What took the author by surprise? A.The stay with Mother in her final life. B.Unexpected gifts prepared by Mother. C.Mother’s wish to move into her house. D.Mother’s ability to take care of herself. 【4】What about Mother does the text focus on? A.Her family traditions. B.Her love for her daughter. C.Her unbearable disease. D.Her attitude toward life. |

Did you know roughly one third of food for human consumption goes to waste? Most of it is fresh fruit and vegetables that go bad. The produce dries out or goes bad, which has led scientists to develop ways of coating or sealing the food to keep it fresher for longer. Now research at Rice University reveals there might be a better way. Scientists discovered that dipping produce like strawberries and bananas into an egg-based wash is remarkably good for preserving it. The coating is extremely thick, and made from a mixture of powdered egg whites and yolks(70%), and some wood-sourced cellulose to act as a barrier preventing water loss. What the scientists found was that the egg wash made a significant difference in helping produce stay fresh over a two-week observation period. The appearance of the coated fruits and vegetables didn’t change much, while the uncoated produce ripened and. even rotted within the same time frame. The egg-based coating, as it turned out, reduced each fruit’s chance to get exposed to oxygen. The non-poisonous coating was found to be flexible and tests showed that it was just as tough as other products, including synthetic films, used in produce packaging. For anyone with an egg allergy, the coating can be removed by thorough washing in water and is tasteless. The scientists hope this could be a breakthrough in the fight against food waste. "Reducing food shortages in ways that are not related to genetic modification, uneatable coatings or chemical additives is important for better sustainable living ,”said materials scientist and study author Pulickel Ajayan. What’s great about this discovery is that it fights food waste in more than one way: even the coating was made from eggs that would otherwise have been discarded because they weren’t fit for consumption. The researchers said roughly 200 million of US produced eggs go to waste annually. So if this were scaled up, it could be a win-win situation all around. 【1】How does the egg-based wash help keep food fresh? A.By limiting its oxygen exposure B.By making its coating less thick. C.By removing its cellulose slowly. D.By improving its absorbent ability 【2】Why is Pulickel Ajayan mentioned in the text? A.To stress the seriousness of food shortage. B.To offer the method of cutting food waste. C.To show the significance of the discovery. D.To give brief description of the research. 【3】What does the underlined word “discarded” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Eaten up. B.Taken in. C.Picked out. D.Thrown away. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.How to use eggs creatively. B.A new way to preserve food. C.How to recycle food waste. D.A breakthrough in technology. |

Many studies have shown how playing video games can lead to structural changes in the brain, including increasing the size of some regions, or to functional changes, such as activating the areas responsible for attention. New research from the University at Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has gone further to show how cognitive changes can take place even years after people stop playing. The study involved 27 people between the ages of 18 and 40 with and without any kind of experience with video gaming. “People who were video gamers before adolescence, despite no longer playing, performed better with the working memory tasks, which require mentally holding and processing information to get a result,” said Marc Palaus, the author of the study. The results show that people without experience of playing video games as a child did not benefit from improvements in processing and avoiding irrelevant stimuli. Indeed, they were slower than those who had played games as children, which matched what had been seen in earlier studies. “People who played regularly as children performed better from the outset in processing 3D objects, although these differences were narrowed after the period of training in video gaming, when both groups showed similar levels,” said Palaus. The study lasted a month and the researchers analyzed participants’ cognitive skills, including working memory, at three points: before starting the training in video gaming, at the end of the training, and fifteen days later. The video game used was Nintendo’s Super Mario 64. According to Palaus, what most video games have in common is that they involve elements that make people want to continue playing, and that they gradually get harder and present a constant challenge. “These two things are enough to make it an attractive and motivating activity, which, in turn, requires constant and intense use of our brain’s resources.” “Video games are a perfect recipe for strengthening our cognitive skills, almost without our noticing. However, it’s not the reason for playing too much,” he said. 【1】What can be learned about the study? A.It looks at different games. B.It is aimed at adult gamers. C.Its participants are adults. D.Its author likes playing games. 【2】How did people playing no video games as children behave in the study? A.They tended to ignore irrelevant stimuli. B.They failed to physically hold 3D objects. C.They performed very slowly after training. D.They did worse in working memory tasks. 【3】What may Mare Palaus suggest doing? A.Finding recipes for better cognitive skills. B.Avoiding getting addicted to video games. C.Trying less challenging video games. D.For bidding video games for the young. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Playing Video Games as Kids Can Cause Changes in Brain B.Video Gamers Memorize Information Much More Quickly C.Video Games Help to Improve Children’s Working Memory D.Playing Video Games Benefits Cognitive Skills Even Years Later |

Did you know that it’s possible to save wet books by putting them in the freezer or refrigerator? Strange as it sounds, this simple trick can go a long way toward preserving beloved reading material that may be damaged from something as significant as flood water or as silly as knocking over a glass of water. 【1】 Make sure that the water isn’t dirty. 【2】 If a book has been soaked (浸泡) in dirty water or a colored liquid, it may be difficult to save the book. Realize, too, that the pages will never again be perfectly flat, only clear enough to read, if all goes well. Determine the best approach to air-drying. If the book is completely soaked before freezing, don’t try to separate pages. 【3】 If possible, put a sheet of paper towel between the covers and text body. If the book is partially soaked, spread paper towel throughout the pages of the book（every 20 or so）. After an hour of drying, change the towel until most water has been absorbed. 【4】 Don’t try to separate wet pages, as they may stick and tear. Put the book in the refrigerator as soon as possible. At the same time, keep the refrigerator on its “frost-free” setting which helps to avoid the formation of large ice crystals (冰晶) in items, which can cause damage. 【5】 Once it gets frozen, it allows you to open the book and spread the pages without them sticking together. A.Here is how to do it B.Freeze the book immediately C.Put the book in the refrigerator after it dries. D.The water has to be clean, for the most part. E.There are many ways to clean and dry a wet book F.Leave the book in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. G.Make the book stand upright on paper towel that can absorb water. |
