At the first Olympic marathon in 1896, athletes ran a shorter course than today’s 42.2-kilometer event. Even so, only the winner finished within three hours. However, runners have improved, and one expert
predicted last year that the two-hour mark would be broken in 2028.
On Oct 12, Eliud Kipchoge came in ahead of schedule – literally. The 34-year-old Olympic champion from Kenya became the first person to run a marathon in less than two hours. Clocking in at 1:59:40, Kipchoge pumped his chest and even sped up after crossing the finish line as he ran happily to his wife. “No one is limited. This shows the positivity of sport,” Kipchoge told the BBC after the race in Vienna, Austria. “Together when we run, we can make it a beautiful world.”
Apart from Kipchoge’s strong willpower and outstanding physical condition, a few tricks of science and technology helped him reach this milestone in human athletic achievement.
Hills and turns slow runners down, so Kipchoge’s team picked the course in Vienna for its gentle curves (弯曲度).
The city’s cool and dry weather was also important, said Wired. The magazine talked to exercise physiologists, who think the weather helped keep Kipchoge’s body running more efficiently throughout the race.
A special pair of shoes also played a big part. According to The New York Times, the shoes Kipchoge wore were designed to give a significant edge (优势) to anyone wearing them in a race.
One other key to this breakthrough was Kipchoge’s pacing strategy. He ran with a dream team of pacers, deployed by sports scientists. Five runners formed a V-shape ahead of Kipchoge, reducing drag (阻力), and two runners followed directly behind to push him forward. Kipchoge stayed in the center of the formation. The team rotated (轮换) members every five kilometers, and he stayed under a two-hour pace for almost the entire length of the race. There was also a pace car driving 15 meters in front of everyone, casting a laser (激光) line on the road to keep them on track.
“Few world records today are technology free,” noted The Telegraph. Hard work and dedication are still the core (核心) of athletic achievement, but science and technology are helping modern athletes maximize their potential.
24.Which of the following statements is true according to the first two paragraphs? A.42.2-kilometer marathon first started in 1896.
B.Eliud Kipchoge is predicted to break the record in 2028. C.Eliud Kipchoge won the Olympic champion at 1:59:40.
D.Eliud Kipchoge from Kenya set a new marathon record in less than two hour. 25.What factor does not benefit Eliud Kipchoge in the challenge? A.His strong willpower B. Physiologists’ talk C. His extraordinary physical condition D. Special running shoes
26.What’s the closest explanation of the underlined word? A.follow B. monitor C. arrange D. motivate 27.What’s the best title for the passage? A.Running into record books.
B.How to maximize one’s athletic potential. C.Few world record today are technology free. D.Eliud Kipchoge’s outstanding sports achievements. C
We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny
and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style. That's bad news for the environment and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. \living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,\household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices —we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy, consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution ( 解 决 方 案 )? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
28.What does the author think of new devices? A.They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old. C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly. 29.Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research? A.To reduce the cost of minerals. B.To test the life cycle of a product.
C.To update consumers on new technology.
D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 30.Which of the following uses the least energy? A.The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 31.What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A.Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. D
Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos( 纹 身 ) nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern

is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
32.Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph2?
A.People’s appearances carry message about themselves. B.Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies. C.Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated. D.Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace. 33.What can be inferred from the text?
A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview. B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies. C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates. 34.Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?
A.Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter
35.The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as . A.enthusiastic B. negative C. positive D. sympathetic
第二节：七选五
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。Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: \jump?\the same coin. 36 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
37 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 38 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 39 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 40 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of
