    Many of us know about Russia’s Take Baikal from our textbook, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lie Baikal. But over the years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.

Each March, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. The 26-mile41, 84 kilometersjourney starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.

It’s believed that Lake Baikal’s beauty is incomparable. Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has particularly clear waters. This means that its ice is almost perfectly transparent(透明的). Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.

The scenery might be beautiful, but strong winds blast(侵袭)acorns the lake and forcible can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them and that running in such condition is a test of their limits.

“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around and don’t have the noise around. I think these extreme races push you to be alone” Alicia Badalona, a 64-year-old runner from the US said.

The place offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon The finishing line is visible(可见的)from the start, but the endless while offers no progress markers. Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping sallies(自拍)and just ignore the runners.

For runners, the absence of spectators(观众)makes the race more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina. a French runner, told the Telegraph.

1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍俄罗斯贝加尔湖上举行的冰上马拉松比赛,并从比赛的环境、参赛者和观众分别进行介绍。作者指出参加比赛是需要独处并且战胜自己的。 1. 细节理解题。文中第一段最后一句话提出“But over the years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.” 贝加尔湖在过去这些年里,作为世界最深淡水湖一直因为一个极限运动而受到关注。接着第二段就介绍了这个运动“Each March, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.”每年三月有来自全世界150人左右来参加贝加尔湖冰上马拉松,由此可知,让贝加尔湖成为焦点的是这个冰上马拉松。故选C项。 2. 词义猜测题。this前面是“Lake Baikal has particularly clear waters.”贝加尔湖湖水清澈干净,正是因为湖水的清澈干净使得湖上的冰看起来几乎是完全透明的,由此可知,this是指代前面贝尔加湖水特别清澈干净这件事的。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。由文中“Runners say the cold climate is what draws them and that running in such condition is a test of their limits.”可知,参加比赛的跑步者都说寒冷的天气吸引了他们,同时在这样条件下跑步,对他们来说是对他们极限的考验,由此可知,参加贝加尔湖冰上比赛的人是为了挑战他们自己的极限。故选D项。 4. 推理判断题。在最后一段第一句话“For runners, the absence of spectators(观众)makes the race more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. ”首先提出了,对于参赛者,没有观众,就是一种挑战,因为这是会让参赛者感到是在独自比赛,他们必要挑战自己,紧接着就又提到了Veronique Messina和他所说的话“You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself.”来再次印证参赛者是独自比赛,比赛过程中必须要战胜自己。故选B项。

    Former National Football League player and children’s author Tim Green has added another book to his list of accomplishments: Unstoppable. The book tells the story of a 12 year-old boy named Harrison, who survives life in a cruel lobster-home(寄养家庭)before he finally finds a loving family. Then he settles in and realizes his natural football ability but he loses his leg due to a deadly bone cancer. Unstoppable follows Harrison’s difficult life journey.

Tim Green said he decided to write a novel about a kid facing cancer after watching how his wife fought to survive her own illness. “Her mental and physical toughness were more heroic to me than anything I’d ever seen in the national sports leagues,” Green told TFK.

Green said, he knew he needed to write about a person who struggled through a serious illness. But because the target age for his books is the teen, he needed to tell the story through the eyes of someone of that age. He needed a perfect real story on which to base his book.

When friends introduced Green to Jeffrey Keith, Green knew he had found the right person to help him “capture(捕捉)the heroism that it takes to fight cancer”, Cancer- survivor Jeffrey Keith lost his leg at the age of twelve, but went on to be the goalkeeper and was also the first amputee(被截肢者)to run 3,300 miles across the country.

TFK asked Keith what it felt like to read Unstoppable for the first time. “Tim captured what it felt like for me to go through this experience and battle back, “Keith said.” Tim’s look sends a message to all the kids across the country that are facing challenges and that have nothing to do with cancer; you are all unstoppable, as long as you believe it.”

1.What does paragraph I mainly intend to say about Harrisons life

A.It is poor but colorful. B.It is full of challenges.

B.It is written by him and Tim Green.

C.He offered great advice to its author.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.

“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.

Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊)through the smoke.

They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.

Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.

“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
