The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt. I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon. The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn’t. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheer determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘动) behind her. I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is. 【1】What words can best describe the woman? A.Proud and determined. B.Strong-willed and honorable. C.Modest and courageous. D.Diligent and considerate. 【2】What does the underlined word “crippled” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Disabled. B.Healthy. C.Perfect. D.Strong. 【3】What has the author learnt from the woman? A.Don’t depend on others when facing hardships. B.Nothing is too tough to accomplish if one is brave enough. C.The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty. D.It’s not winning but finishing the thing we start that really matters. 【4】What could be the best title for the text? A.A Humorous Stranger. B.An Unforgettable Job. C.The Last Runner. D.The Annual Marathon. |

Are people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot? Could noisy streets, crowded with cars and people, make us unhappy? The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people. The World Health Organization estimates(估计)that 56 percent of the world's population lived in urban areas in 2019. The WHO adds that that amount will increase to 66 percent by 2050. People often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves at risk? Maybe. Experts at the American Psychiatry Association say that “natural environments or green spaces” do much good to our mental health. Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts say, can also help us learn better. And experiencing nature helps people recover from the mental tiredness that comes from day-to-day work. On the other hand, mental health experts say some research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health. But they cannot say exactly why. What are the specific aspects of the urban environment which causes some people to develop mental illness? Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at Kings College, London, states, “There have been studies where people were literally taken out of an urban environment into a rural (乡村的) environment and their symptoms would improve. And we also see that the greater the city is, the greater the risk is.” Mechelli say that someone who lives in a city is three times more likely to develop psychological problem than someone living in the country. Kings College researchers, along with city planners, land and building designers and others wanted to learn more about city living and mental illness. So, they created a smartphone app called Urban Mind. They say they wanted to understand how different parts of the urban environment affect mental wellbeing(健康). The researchers found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky, and feeling in contact with nature were associated with higher levels of mental well-being. They also found that these seeming effects of nature were especially strong in those individuals at greater risk of mental health problems. The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes “the results will inform future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health.” 【1】Why is the question raised in the first paragraph? A.To introduce the topic of the text. B.To show the background of the text. C.To ask the readers to learn the study. D.To raise the readers' interest in happiness. 【2】What does Mechelli find during his study? A.People are attracted by the blue skies and green grass. B.People are more content with their city life. C.More and more people are interested in taking risks in cities, D.City people are more likely to develop mental problems than country people. 【3】What is expected of the Urban Mind research result? A.More people will choose to live in the countryside. B.It will bring more concern about people s mental health. C.It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies. D.People will be helped to improve their mental illness. 【4】What is the main idea of the text? A.Urban Mind measures the level of mental wellbeing. B.City living may be harmful to people’s mental health. C.Living in the countryside is better than in the city. D.Different scientists hold different opinions on the effects of city living. |

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its wooden roof have been largely damaged. The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.” But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin's Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage. The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as “same” as the real one. As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital replica or digital copy has great pratical value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired. Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment. 【1】Which of the following statement is true? A.The big fire has damaged the whole Notre Dame. B.Only people in Paris felt pain for losing Notre Dame. C.The damaged parts of Notre Dame have already been repaired. D.A video game can help people see the original look of Notre Dame. 【2】What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings? A.Scan the photos of the buildings B.Build 3D models of full size. C.Improve the technology needed. D.Measure all the parts exactly. 【3】How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance? A.By comparison. B.By listing data. C.By giving examples. D.By classification. 【4】What is the best title of the passage? A.The Damage of Notre Dame B.The Value of Digital Replica C.VR Technology Helps Repair the Cultural Relics D.Digital Technology Helps Protect Ancient Buildings |

How to Prevent New Coronavirus(冠状病毒)? New coronavirus is a member of the coronavirus family that cause conditions like the common cold, SARS and other respiratory(呼吸的) conditions. While new coronavirus can be serious, taking preventative measures can help you protect your health at home. Wash your hands with soap and water to minimize your infection(感染) risk. 【1】 Wet your hands with warm water, then apply a mild soap. Work the soap for 20-30 seconds, and then wash your hands clean under warm running water. Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. You may come into contact(接触) with the new coronavirus on a surface, like a door handle or countertop. When this happens, the bacteria can stay on your hands, so you can easily infect yourself if you touch your face with dirty hands. 【2】 Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing. 【3】 Additionally, coughing and sneezing both release the virus into the air, so they may increase your risk of infection. Keep your distance from people who appear to have symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Disinfect high-touch surfaces daily by using a product that kills viruses. Unfortunately, new coronavirus can stay on surfaces, such as door handles and countertops. 【4】 Make sure the surface stays wet for about 10 minutes so it effectively kills the virus. This limits the risk of the virus staying on the surfaces and potentially causing an infection. 【5】 Information about new coronavirus has spread on social media, sometimes causing unnecessary fear. It’s helpful to fact-check your information before making any decisions. A.Try not to worry too much if you’re not truly at risk. B.Don’t run the risk of handling an animal that might be ill. C.Use a spray disinfectant or wet wipes to clean the surfaces daily. D.Call your doctor if you suspect that you are hit by new coronavirus. E.Avoid touching your eyes,nose and mouth in case the virus is on your skin. F.The best way to prevent new coronavirus is to wash your hands as often as possible. G.Since new coronavirus is a respiratory infection,coughing and sneezing are common symptoms. |
