At 18,1 competed in my first marathon in Dublin, Ireland. At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running-and what better than the marathon.

Back then, the running craze hadn't quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people. Besides, I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon.

On the way from England to Dublin, I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin. I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves, but I found it hard.

The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds. My limited memories from that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel（隧道）of people as the crowds lined beside the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what's important, the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. Eventually, I didn't get the prize, but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself

After my first marathon, I started a website based on my love for running. Whether you're an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home. Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals. They're part of a global team and a global community.

24.   Why did the author take part in his first marathon?

1.   To show his talent for running.
2.   To win a prize in a longer distance race.
3.   To attract the public's attention to running.
4.   To express his preference for 400-meter running.

25.   What impressed the author deeply during his first marathon?

1.   He hit the wall and tried to struggle through.
2.   He ran through a tunnel with other racers.
3.   He nearly got lost due to the cloudy weather.
4.   He received lots of encouragement from the crowds.

26. What can we know about the author's website?

1. It aims to help unite running lovers.
2. It has attracted large numbers of participants.
3. It attaches great importance to community spirit.
4. It was set up mainly for experienced marathoners.

27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. A Good Marathon Runner B. My Unforgettable First Marathon

C. Starting a Website for Runners D. Being Brave to Challenge Ourselves

C

A change to organic dairy forming around the nature reserves could significantly reduce damage done to the areas by nitrogen（氮）produced by solid waste from cows, according to a research.

Concentrated animal farming near Natura 2000 areas was banned in 2002. However, 800 farms still remain in the outer edge of these protected areas, some of which are particularly damaging to the environment.

Researchers looked at 34 organic farms to see how organic fanning practices compared with those large-scale factory farms. They found that cows at organic farms produced 22% less nitrogen in their waste, while the amount of emissions per hectare（公顷）was 53% lower.

“The reason why organic farming is less polluting is that farms generally have fewer cows and don't use fertilizer,“ said researchers. Organic cows are also put out to grassland more often and aren't given concentrates（精饲料）to the same degree, which also limits emissions.

While organic dairy farms would make a good protective barrier against nitrogen around the nature reserves, this doesn't hold true for organic chicken and pig farms, the research showed.

“Despite the good it would do, not many dairy farmers are likely to make the change,“ researcher Gerard Migchels said. "The organic sector is currently relatively small. Growth is only possible if there is enough market demand. That would make it possible to come to a realistic price for organic milk J he said.

In 2019, some 40,000 cows in the Netherlands were farmed organically, accounting for just 1% of the Dutch herd of 3.8 million.

According to a government report, 46% of nitrogen compound（复合物）pollution around nature reserves is down to agriculture, to which dairy fanning contributes 60%. The new law on nitrogen emissions aims to reduce pollution by 40% by 2025 and 74% by 2035.

28. What can we infer about organic dairy farming around nature reserves from the text?

1. It helps dairy farmers collect nitrogen.
2. It is relatively environmentally friendly.
3. It has replaced traditional dairy farming.
4. It saves dairy farmers a great deal of trouble.

29. What is special about organic cows?

1. They eat less grass.
2. They are often larger in size.
3. Their waste contains less nitrogen.
4. Their waste can also serve as fertilizer.

30. How might Gerard Migchels feel about the current situation of organic dairy farming?

A. Rather hopeless. B. Fairly content.

C. Particularly surprised. D. Kind of sad.

31. What’s the author's main purpose of writing this text?

1. To introduce the benefit of organic dairy farming.
2. To compare different types of farming practices.
3. To seek financial support for organic dairy fanning.
4. To encourage people to drink more organic milk.

D

In many casual discussions of language and the Internet, it’s common to hear about how “social media language” is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write. And major media such as the BBC and The Daily Mail have all bemoaned the way in which people communicate through technology.

Of course, language does change when ifs used to write messages online. Social media language is an evolution（进化）of language. It's even the focus of the field of linguistics（语言学）called Computer-Mediated Communication （CMC）. This field concentrates on the study of interaction brought about by technology like computers, mobile phones and tablets.

People have been making complaints about language being ''ruined“ for as long as ttiey5ve been writing and speaking. In a TED Talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people being annoyed about language change through the ages. In A.D. 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an “artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French!

Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon（表情符号）.

The emoticon “：）” is a visual prefinance of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any other kind of facial expressions, it doesn't really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to express a feeling, such as "I'm happy.” or “just joking”.

Words that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles（话 语 小品词）.These are little pieces of language that offer information about the tone of the statement.

Far from ruining language, these examples indicate how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple, direct maimer. This kind of change is perfect for our modem, fast-paced world.

32.    What does the underlined word "bemoaned” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Complained about. B. Approved o£

C. Checked up. D. Put forward.

33.    Why is the TED Talk mentioned in Paragraph 3?

1.    As evidence of complaints about shared stories.
2.    As an example to support the author's argument.
3.    As a proof of language ruined by social media language.
4.    As a way to explain language change through the ages.

34.    What’s the function of emoticons according to the text?

A. To represent a smiling face. B. To express intentions.

C. To communicate feelings. D. To set the tone.

35.    What’s the author's attitude towards social media language?

A. Unclear. B. Skeptical. C. Opposed. D. Approving.

Have you ever looked up at the clock at the end of the workday and felt that you just didn't get enough done? 36 Here are some ways that might be of some help to you.

Set reasonable goals. We can create goals to help shape our paths. This can be an effective way to improve our work efficiency. 37 When your goal is too high to achieve or too low, you can't clarify it or properly focus your mind and efforts on it.

Create a routine you love. Develop a routine that puts you in the best state to be productive at work. Routines look different for everyone. When you create a routine that makes you feel happy, healthy and clear-minded, your work efficiency will be greatly improved. 38

Put away your digital devices. While heavy computer use might be part of your job, digital devices can be a major distraction（使人分心的事）. 39 You may find that your memory improve when you're visiting something done by hand instead of typing it into a computer.

40 If your focus is stuck on a project where you can't make any progress, you’ll have poor work efficiency. Changing your focus can help you change your state, so when you return to work, you’11 feel refreshed. Having short periods of relaxation during your workday, you'll find that your work efficiency naturally increases.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整 的短文。

I was in 7th grade when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was very sudden and unexpected for our family and obviously I was beaten. I tried my best to balance my first year of middle school and my home life, even if I knew this was impossible. I hated coming home from school every day for fear of what I would see when I got home. I hated seeing my mom sick all the time; she was not herself and all I wanted was for her to stop treatment and get better. Luckily, I had lots of support from my family, friends, and teachers during this hard time to help get me through it.

At the beginning of the year, I was determined to stay on track with my homework and studying and get through my first year at middle school successfully. Slowly, I started to become more distracted while at home with taking care of my mom, cleaning the house and helping my grandma cook our meals. While I was at school, I could escape and put my mom's sickness in the back of my mind while I hung out with my friends and enjoyed playing. I noticed that my quiz and test grades were increasingly getting worse, but I never brought this to the attention of my mom because I did not want to worry her. Eventually, all of my grades were lower than C’s.

I knew that I was not doing well at school, and I needed to get my grades back up. I knew that a lot of my teachers were cutting me some unimportant work because they knew what was happening at home. Ms. Zazoski, my English teacher was the most supportive teacher that I have ever had and I am so glad that I was in her class that year. 注意：

One day my teacher had me stay after school to have a talk with her.

That was the motivation that I needed to improve my grades.
