While waiting for the Boston Marathon to start,my boyfriend and I wondered why we would
like to run these races.Running Boston is the highlight of many a runner's career.Merely
qualifying is an accomplishment.For example,I had to run the 26 miles and 385 yards faster than
3:35 to get in.Then there's the fact that it's the oldest annual marathon in the world,and one of the
six World Marathon Majors.I wasn't sure if I'd ever get the privilege to run it,but I made the cut
last year in Los Angeles,by 39 seconds.
After Eric,my boyfriend,went off in the first wave of age group racers at 10 a.m.,I followed
in the second wave,20 minutes behind.Once it warmed up a bit,it was a glorious day—perfect for
running—and my appreciation of the Boston Marathon began to grow.I made good time during
the first half of the race,but by mile 18 the pain had set in to my hips and knees.To post a good
finish,I would have to try my best for the final 8.2 miles,using willpower and the cheers of the
incredible crowds as my fuel.Throughout the race,I kept amazed at the spectators'
goodwill.Then I remembered that I'd been in their shoes before.Both roles are incredibly
rewarding—to give and receive support,to and from strangers.
The finish line was a blur (模糊不清) as I ran across it just after 2 p.m.,with a time of 3:
43:36.Excited but exhausted,we runners stumbled down Boylston Street to pick up water,food,
blankets and medals.As we approached the yellow school buses that held our belongings,
we heard the BOOM! We were concerned,but we didn't know what caused the two loud bombings
a few blocks away.Maybe it was celebratory fireworks? Then we saw the smoke and knew
something was wrong.
I made my way out of the area and ran into Eric—lucky because he was supposed to have
waited for me in an area that was now inaccessible.Emergency vehicles raced by.
第 6 页 共 13 页
We held onto each other tight and found our friends who had come to cheer us on.With little
information about what was happening or what to do,we found our way to a T station to head
back to Cambridge.Neither Eric nor I had our phones,but our friends did.They posted a photo of
us to let everyone know we were okay.
By the time we got back to the apartment where we were staying,Facebook was filled with
messages of concern from our friends.We quickly posted updates and received an outpouring of
support.
Eric and I both work for Facebook.I'm sure we didn't fully realize its power until today.I was
surrounded not just by real friends next to me,but also by hundreds more through Facebook.These
Facebook friends posted comments to our profiles,“liked” our status updates and sent me
messages because they saw my name among a list of participants from Menlo Park and wanted to
check on me.
I returned to my question: Why run the Boston Marathon? Of course I love the feeling of
accomplishment,but now it seems wrong to celebrate in the face of what happened.What seems
right,though,is to celebrate the support and love that I felt and I saw,especially after the race was
ruined by the violence.This is another reason why I run these races.After Monday,I'm more
convinced than ever that we should continue,and with even greater enthusiasm.
So,see you at the next start line.
24.According to the author,the Boston Marathon is an event that ________.
A.qualifies an athlete to be a professional marathon runner
B.most runners consider it a great success to participate in
C.admits all runners who show great enthusiasm for marathon

The TV series, The Longest Day in Chang'an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms
last summer became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms
and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying
for it—the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.
“I was amazed by the overseas audience's love for this show,” Cao Dun, director of The
Longest Day in Chang'an, told Beijing Review. “I was worried that they wouldn't understand the
complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty. But in reality, the show is prompting foreign
audiences to research Tang Dynasty's history to better understand the plot.”
The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign
audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character.
Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate (引起共鸣) with the audience might be
the way to communicate with the world. “The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a
universal language crossing borders,” he told Beijing Review.
His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world.
“The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world , ” Cao said. “After
describing the impressive beauty of the Tang Dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell
stories of today's China. I don't want to copy any country's production. Chinese dramas have to be
built on our rich culture and Chinese people's everyday life,” Cao added.
28.What do we know about the TV series?
A.It was first put on overseas.
B.It can be appreciated for free.
C.It was very popular once it was shown.
D.It is about the development of the Tang Dynasty.
29.What does the underlined word “prompting” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Requiring. B.Reminding.
C.Informing. D.Encouraging.
30.What made the TV series a success?
第 8 页 共 13 页
A.Recognition of beauty.
B.Stories of ordinary people.
C.Diversity of Chinese culture.
D.Personalities of every figure.
31.What is Cao Dun's ambition?
A.To make a successful TV series.
B.To tell Chinese stories to the world.
C.To show China's different nationalities.
D.To learn the ancient political structure.

Your kids learn a lot from their friends—things you can’t teach them, no matter how much you
want to.
Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships. As a parent, you
can’t do this, because you and your child aren’t equals.
For example, when you’re sitting on your family room floor and your very young child asks
you to pass him the blocks, you probably hand them right over. If your child is sitting with a peer
and asks the same thing, though, he might not get what he wants.
To succeed, your child will need to learn strategies for getting what he wants. For example, he
might simply yank (猛拉) the toy out of his friend’s hand. If he does that, he may learn that it’s not
the best way of getting what he wants because it leads to fighting and time-outs. The successful
child will learn that he needs to negotiate a trade, to wait patiently, or to find something else
equally fun to play with.
Friends also provide emotional support, something that is part of the foundation of healthy
adulthood. You can’t be with your child on the elementary school playground or at the high school
dance. Your child’s friends will be the ones to stick up for her, to include her in games, and later,
to tell her she looks great even if her lousy prom ( 糟 糕的 舞 会 ) date wanders off instead of
dancing with her.
Friends also help your children learn. Friends solve problems together, imitate each other, and
pass on knowledge .
Some experts believe that the single biggest predictor of your child’s success later in life is her
ability to make friends. In fact, they claim it’s even more important than IQ and grades.
This doesn’t mean that the kids who are most popular in school do the best later on in life. What
matters is not the number of friends a child has but rather the quality of the relationships.

This is good news for those of us who hate to think that popularity really is the Holy Grail of
childhood and adolescence. While it’s true that popularity has many advantages, and that many
popular kids really are nice people—and not just the best dressed or best looking—it’s better to
have a few good friends than to have the admiration of the masses.
32. By giving the example in Paragraph 3, the author wants to show that .
A.kids can learn how to deal with the relationships when they stay with their peers
B.parents should spend more spare time playing with their kids
C.kids should learn how to be polite when they ask their parents for help
D.parents can teach their kids how to be good members in the modern society in their daily life
33. What does the underlined phrase“stick up for” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A.envy B.oppose C.support D.ignore
34. In the author’s opinion, is more important than being popular for kids.
A.getting high grades
B.having some real friends
C.developing a good habit
D.knowing how to dress themselves up
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.How to Bridge the Generation Gap
B.What It Takes to Be a Good Friend
C.Why Friends Are Important
D.How to Be Popular in School

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to
sleep, they die within a month. 36
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that, while
awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but
the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolves(逐步形成) so that connections between
第 10 页 共 13 页
neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to
form the next day. 38
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 39 The synapses in the mice
taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep,
showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s sleep, we find it
harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller
room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the
synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and
stayed the same size. 40 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

When Alice was sixteen, I was the one who wanted to run away from home. It was 41 to

Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese dishes 56

than in their own countries once they realize how cheap it can be 58 (eat) out. I still

I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time.
While regularly eating out seems to 61 (become) common for many young people in
recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week
may be 62 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even higher cost
on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food
eaten outside the home and the rise in 63 (weigh) problems.
If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your

I truly learned what a best friend is in my first year in high school. Kate and I were good friends
and we were inseparable (分不开的). We spent every day together and always had a good time.
Then basketball season started and we were on the same team. After a few games, however,
Kate got moved up to the Rose Cup full-time. I wouldn't admit it then, but as a matter of fact I
envied (嫉妒) her much. Having different practice times, we began to see less of each other and
talked less. Soon I was told by others that she was talking behind my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new haircut. To my great surprise, the next day at
school she told everyone that I copied her style because she had told me she wanted to get hers cut
like this. As a result, I was angry and quite disappointed with her. At noon she handed me a letter
and walked away instead of talking with me. I couldn't accept the cruel words on the paper. In
great anger, I wrote right back to her. Over the next week, we exchanged more hurtful letters. I
cried myself to sleep every night, believing our friendship was over.
