The term “Iron Man” has many connotations(内涵), including references to a song, a comic book icon, even a movie. Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name: the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii, a picturesque(独特的)setting for a challenging race, which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim, bike, and run a marathon, all in less than 12 hours with no break. Very few individuals are up to the task.
However, Gordon Haller is a notable exception. Growing up in the 1950s, Haller developed an interest in many sports categorized as endurance(耐性)athletics and welcomed their physical demands. As he pursued a degree in physics he drove a taxi to pay the bills, but competitive training proved his passion. So when he heard about the race in 1978, the first year it was held, he immediately signed up.
The race originated in a somewhat amusing way. The members of the two popular sports clubs, the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu, had a long-standing and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes: runners or swimmers. However, some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong, claiming that they, in fact, deserved the title. Wanting to settle the dispute (争论)once and for all, they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of
endurance. Thus, the Waikiki Roughwater Swim of 2.4 miles, the Around-Oahu Bike race of 112 miles, and the Honolulu Marathon of 26.2 miles were all put together to form the Ironman Triathlon.
Haller was one of only fifteen competitors to show up that February morning to start the race. He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions, and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race’s famous slogan: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag(吹牛)for the rest of your life!” Haller took that to heart, and at the end of the day, he became the first Ironm an champion in history. Haller’s physical strength enabled him to do what no one else in the past had accomplished.
In the approximately thirty years since that very first race, the Ironman has become a tradition in Hawaii and now boasts approximately 1500 entrants every year. The competitors who complete the race don’t have to be the first across the finish line to claim success: just finishing is a victory onto itself.
40．The “Iron Man”in the passage above refers to ____________.
A．a folk song B．a movie character
C．a triathlon athlete D．a sports event
41．What do we know about Gordon Haller from the passage?
A．He had a great interest in all kinds of sports.
B．He was a member of the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu.
C．He became a taxi driver after he graduated from school.
D．He was the champion in the first Ironman Triathlon.
42．What does the underlined word “prowess” in the first paragraph mean?
A．muscles B．skills C．balance D．reaction 43．The Ironman race was born due to the fact that__________.
A．The two clubs fought over who made better athletes.
B．Gordon Haller wanted to show his great endurance.
C．The combined race can help choose the most athletic.
D．Club members wanted to improve their physical abilities.
44．What can we infer from the passage about the first Ironman Triathlon? A．Participants had to choose two from the three races in the first Ironman Triathlon. B．Haller may not have known the rules of it before he showed up for the event.
C．No other competitors other than Haller finished the races in the end.
D．Sixteen competitors in total participated in it on February morning.
45．What does the last paragraph try to tell us?
A．It is the participation rather than victory that counts.
B．The current Ironman Triathlon is different from the original one.
C．The victors respond excitedly when crossing the finish line.
D．The event attracts many people because it creates good fortune.
Spending over a year in the bleak (荒凉的) Antarctica might change your brain for the worse, according to new research out this month. It seems to show that polar explorers who lived for 14 months at an Antarctica research station experienced brain shrinkage, likely as a result of their loneliness and boredom.
The study’s authors used MRI (核磁共振) to scan the brains of eight members of a team before they began a long stay at the German-run research station. During their mission. the team periodically took tests of their cognition and memory and provided blood samples that allowed the study authors to measure their levels of a protein important for brain health called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). When they returned, they had their brains scanned again.
Finally, compared to themselves before the mission, the explorers' brains appeared to have less grey matter on average. The shrinkage was most apparent in the hippocampus, in area of the brain key to memory and cognition. Their average levels of BDNF also dropped during the trip and didn’t improve significantly even after one-and-a-half months back home.
The study's findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, aren't the first to suggest that long time of being separated can change the brain. But practically all of this work has involved animals, according to the researchers.
Of course, an eight-person study is small, so any of its conclusions should be taken with caution. Lead author Alexander C．Stahn, now a researcher at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, said that the effects on the hippocampus are likely temporary, provided the scientists returned back to a life filled with social interaction and interesting things to see.
Still, since people will continue traveling to and from Antarctica for long periods of time, the findings are definitely worth keeping in mind and exploring further. They might even prove relevant for the rare few people who might travel as far as Mars in the future — perhaps the
only similarly scientific, months-long mission that would be even more lonely.
46．What will do damage to the brain according to the first paragraph?
A．Doing research in brain shrinkage B．Traveling to the Antarctica. C．Working as a researcher in a station. D．Being in a lonely place for a long time. 47．How did the scientists get the conclusion?
A．By comparing the scanned results. B．By studying the previous figures. C．By making a long-term program. D．By scanning the participants’ brains. 48．What can we infer about the explorers when they returned?
A．They were no longer used to the civilized world.
B．They had some difficulty in remembering things.
C．They became normal after one-and-a-half months.
D．They published their findings in a medical magazine.
49．What can we learn about the study?
A．The scientists are provided with various social activities.
B．Long time of being separated can change the brain of all animals.
C．Other researches have the same findings as the study.
D．Its conclusion may be relevant for those who arc fond of travelling.
50．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The importance of the finding. B．The disadvantage of the finding. C．The future development of the space. D．The possibility of travelling to Mars.
A remote control is seemingly capable of invisible magic to most of us. We just assume it should. And the longer a given technology exits, the more we take it for granted.
Consider for a moment a split screen showing modem remote control users versus the first remote control users: the original users would be carefully aiming the remote directly at the television, reading the names of the buttons to find the right one, and intentionally pressing the button with a force that adds nothing to the effectiveness of the device. The modern users would be leaning on a sofa, pointing the remote any which way instinctively （本能的）feeling for the button they desired, intuiting（凭直觉知道）its size,shape, and position on the remote.
Humans are known for being handy with tools, so it is no surprise that we get so comfortable with our technology. However, as we become increasingly comfortable with how to use new technologies, we become less aware of how they work. Most people who use
modern technology know nothing of its underlying science. They have spent neither mental nor financial resources on its development. And yet, rather than be humbled（使谦逊）by its originality, we consumers often become unfairly demanding of what our technology Should do for us.
Many of the landmark inventions of the twentieth century followed predictable tracks: initial versions of each technology (television, video games, computers, cell phones, etc.) succeeded in impressing the general public. Then, these wonderful new inventions quickly became commonplace. Soon, the focus of consumer attitudes towards them changed from gratitude with respect to discriminating preference.
Televisions needed to be bigger and have a higher resolution. Video games needed to be more realistic. Computers needed to be more powerful yet smaller in size. Cell phones needed to be smaller yet capable of performing other tasks such as taking pictures, accessing the Internet, and even playing movies.
For children of the last twenty years born into this modern life, these technological marvels seem like elements of the periodic table: a given ingredient that is simply part of the universe. Younger generations don't even try to imagine life without modem conveniences. They do not appreciate the unprecedented（史无前例的）technology that is in their possession; rather, they complain about the ways in which it fails to live up to ideal expectations. “My digital video recorder at home doesn't allow me to program it from my computer at work.” “It's taking too long for this interactive map to display on my portable GPS”.
If it sounds as though we're never satisfied, we aren't. Of course, our complaints do actually motivate engineers to continually refine their products. After all. at the root of our tool-making instinct is the notion (观念）that “there must be a better way.” Thus, the shortcomings of any current version of technology are pinned on the limitations of its designers, and the expectation is that someone, somewhere is working on how to make the existing product even better.
51．The second paragraph is used to suggest that______________.
A．modem humans do not pay enough attention to instructions
B．remote controls have become far more effective over the years
C．consumer behavior toward new forms of technology changes over time
D．the first consumers of new technology used new devices with ease and comfort 52．The passage states that original users of remote controls likely__________.
A．have no instinctive feeling for sizes and shapes
B．press the buttons harder than it is necessary
C．don't trust on the effectiveness of remote control
D．have difficulty reading the names of the buttons
53．Which of the following can illustrate people's discriminating preference?
A．People take a given technology for granted.
B．Consumers expect more powerful computers.
C．Children lack patience with the shortcomings of technology.
D．Original users unfairly demand of what technology should do.
54．What does the underlined statement in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A．Space exploration provides us with new technology.
B．Adults learn technology while they are doing household chores.
C．High expectation makes up for the limitation of technology designers. D．Consumers regard many technological inventions as unremarkable
55．The writer thinks the way people consider technology____________.
A．encourage designers' creativity B．limit humans’ productivity
C．raise consumers' expectation D．guarantee users' satisfaction
四、阅读表达
阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题.
When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.”She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don't need coats; we need jobs.”she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration.
After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.
“We don't require previous employment,” Veronika says. “We’re looking for people who
are motivated." The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction.
Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”
56．What did Veronika Scott do to finish her task from her studies? (no more than 15 words) 57．Where did Veronika Scott get her second inspiration?(no more than 10 words) 58．What is Veronika’s purpose of founding Empowerment Plan? (no more than 10 words) 59．What does the underlined word mean in the Paragraph?(no more than 1 words) 60．What do you think of V eronika? Why? (no more than 20 words)
