B Here is a real-life story of The Tortoise and the Hare 龟兔赛跑 . Every year in Australia, the strongest long-distance runners race more than 5
23、00 miles from Sydney to Melbourne. The race takes more than five days to complete. It attracts world-class athletes-the kind who become spokespeople for sneakers and sports drinks. In 1983, however, as the competitors lined up to race, they were joined by a 61-year-old farmer wearing overalls and wo
24、rk boots. His name was Cliff Young. The other runners mistook him for a spectator （观众） . He explained that on his familys sheep farm, he often had to round up 2,000 or so animals by himself. “Sometimes I had to run after those sheep for two or three days. I believe I can run this race.“ he said. Whe
25、n the race began, the younger runners flew past Cliff. Instead of running after them, Cliff shuffled ( 拖着脚走） along in an unusual way. The other runners and the spectators thought he would never finish the race. But something happened. When all the other runners took a break to sleep, Cliff kept runn
26、ing. The other runners caught up to him each morning, but finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed. On the fifth day, he left all of the young, world-class athletes behind. He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record. Cliff received 10, 000 for winning the
27、 race. He said he did not realize there would be prize money, and he gave the funds to his fellow runners. Doing this made him a hero in Australia. Since then, many runners have used his shuffling stride. No one sleeps during the race anymore, either. The farmer changed long-distance racing and prov
28、ed that age and style arent everything. ( ) 34. What helped Cliff Young win the race? A. Staying awake for five days. B. Running faster than the others. C. Studying new ways of running. D.

C. He raise the award for the race. D. He encouraged other farmers to enter. C A material is what somethi
31、ng is made of. There are 5 basic materials. Most things are made with these materials. Some things are made of metal. Some things are made of glass. Some things are made of wood. Some things are made of cloth. And some things are made of plastic. There are some other materials. But they are not used
32、 as much as these 5 materials. Lets talk about metal first. Metal is very heavy. And it is very hard and strong. It usually feels cool if you touch it. We use metal to make lots of things. We use it for forks and knives. We use it for keys. We use it for cars. We use it for these things because it i
33、s very strong. Next, lets talk about glass. Glass is very smooth. It feels cool to touch. It is not as heavy as metal. It is hard. But it is not strong. It breaks very easily! Then why do we use it? We use it because it is clear! You can see through glass! Thats why we use it for windows. Thats also
34、 why we use it for glasses. Now, lets talk about wood. Wood is lighter than metal and glass. It is not as strong as metal. But it is much stronger than glass. We use wood to make lots of things. Things made of wood are usually light and hard and strong. Chairs and tables are made of wood. Pencils ar
35、e made of wood. Now lets talk about cloth. Cloth is very light. It is much lighter than wood. And it is very soft. We use cloth to make lots of things. For example, it is used to make clothing. And it is used to make blankets. Last, lets talk about plastic. Plastic is also very light. But it is diff
36、erent from cloth. Sometimes it is soft. And sometimes it is hard. Plastic can be used to make thin plastic bags. These are light, soft, and strong. But plastic can also be used to make bicycle helmets. These are light, hard, and strong. A helmet and a bag seem different. But they are both made from
37、plastic. ( ) 38. Which sentence from the passage best describes the main idea? A. “We use cloth to make lots of things.” B. “Metal is very heavy.“ C. “There are 5 basic materials.“ D. “A helmet and a bag seem different.“ ( ) 39. In Paragraph 4, the passage says, “Wood is lighter than metal and glass
38、.“ What is the main purpose of this sentence? A. To explain something. B. To recommend something. C. To compare something. D. To demonstrate something. ( ) 40. Which material would you use if you wanted to make something that was strong and very light? A. Plastic. B. Wood. C. Metal. D. Glass. ( ) 41
39、. In this passage, the author talks about _. A. hard things first, then soft things B. heavy things first, then light things C. strong things first, then weak things D. cool things first, then warm things D Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we impro
40、ve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory （remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists （心理学家）doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psycho
41、logist E. C. Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers（祈祷文） that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information
42、. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848. According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be
43、memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words
44、 using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them! However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful co
45、nnections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: “Do people get it from water?“, “What parts of the body does it influence?“ and so on. This is said to be far more effective than ti
46、me spent “passively“ reading and re-reading notes. ( ) 42. Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage? A. It helps short-term memory for sure. B. It makes remembering things interesting. C. It helps to remember things for long. D. It makes remembering prayers effo
47、rtless. ( ) 43. The underlined word “chunks“ in Paragraph 2 probably means “ _” . A. details B. turns C. groups D. lines ( ) 44. What can we infer from the passage? A. Creating a picture is useful in learning Maths. B. Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly. C. Remembering long numbers is easy
48、 for people. D. Asking yourself questions activates the memory. ( ) 45. Whats the writers main purpose in writing this passage? A. To complain that his memory is bad. B. To recognize some memory problems. C. To explain some memory experiments. D. To share some ways of improving memory. 四、词汇运用（共10 l、
