Top Four Marathons
Portland Marathon
The marathon welcomes 8 000 people every fall. It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks.
TCS New York City Marathon
As the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile.The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park.
Honolulo Marathon
The marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park. The start time is at 5: 00 am with finish line services officially open until 2: 00 pm. However, the organizers allow everyone to finish and have waiters on hand until 4: 00 pm.
Boston Marathon
The marathon is held in May every year. For this event running isn’t allowed as the city streets aren’t closed off. Participants must instead make their way along sidewalks under the guidance of event organizers and city police. The event attracts over 8,000 people who can choose anything from three-mile walk to the full 26.2-mile Boston Marathon route.

A single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.
Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.
Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用) materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.
“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.
Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.
Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit to
a disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.
4. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?
A. To win the famous IF Design Award.
B. To help poor kids make their own toys.
C. To protect the environment in Istanbul.
D. To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.
5. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?
A. A new picture of a young boy.
B. A computer with high technology.
C. A treasure container from a dustbin:
D. A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle.
6. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability?
A. It provides the kids various types of toys.
B. It offers space for the kids’ creative minds.
C. It changes the poor kids' living conditions.
D. It teaches the kids to share joys with others.
7. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners?
A. Donating toykits to more poor children.
B. Selling toy kits to every kid in the world.
C. Designing new toy kits for kids and adults.
D. Doing further research on the kids' demands.

Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy(疗法) work with our Angel. As she matured and went through professional training, we realized that she would be good at this new job.
Angel is ten now and works every week. She visits two hospitals providing day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS forReadingprogram. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog’s picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.
We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman’s bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn’t believe her eyes.
After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We’d tell her she had to use her right hand,
and she would. Next, you’ll fall in love with this woman’s story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made.

Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.
Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”
“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.
Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks
it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.
Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.
12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?
A. It is an icy comet.
B. It looks like a long photo.
C. It is actually some sort of rock.
D. It may come from another alien civilization.
13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Goes against.
B. Relies on.
C. Turns to.
D. Searches for.
14. What do you think of Loeb?
A. He is foolish.
B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.
C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.
D. He is uncertain about his career future.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?
B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?
C. Scientists Are Working on High Technology
D. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel

【56题详解】
考查连词。
句意:如果不是你帮助我们,我们不可能成功。
Unless为连词,引导条件状语从句,or是并列
连词,不能引导主句,故将or删除。
【57题详解】
考查状语从句的省。
句意:当过马路的时候四周看看。
句中when引导的时间状语从句,从句中省略了主语和be动词,cross此处表示主动,故将crosses改为crossing。
【58题详解】
考查主谓一致。
句意:他五分之三的收入都花在了食物和衣服上。
分数后面的名词为pay,是不可数名词,所以谓语动词用单数形式,故将were改为was。
【59题详解】
考查代词。
句意:她的头发比你的长。
宾语yours与主语指代同一事物,即your hair,故将you改为yours。
【60题详解】
考查固定搭配。
句意:他宁愿呆在家里也不愿跟你出去。
would rather do than do,为固定搭配,意为“宁愿做……而不愿……”,故将to删除。
【61题详解】
考查连词。
句意:小心,否则你会掉进河里。
分析句子可知,前后两句是转折关系,故将and改为or。
【62题详解】
考查连词。
句意:虽然我知道为了成为一个博学的人,我必须学习相当多的科目,但有两个科目是我特别重视的。
Although和but不能同时使用,故将but/although删除。
【63题详解】
考查主谓一致。
句意:河上有两家工厂。
There be句型中谓语动词的单复数取决于真正的主语,即two factories,故将stands改为stand。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。
句意:这是我们上次参观的房子。
分析句子可知,此句为定语从句,先行词house在从句中作宾语,因而要使用关系代词that/which,故将where改成which/that。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。
句意:不要再工作了,你看上去很累。
主语为人,表语为ed结尾的形容词,意为“感到疲惫的”,故将tiring改为tired
52.略。
