By the 1970s, the Olympic Marathon had come a long way from the dusty roads of Athens. Yet women were still not allowed to compete and the struggle to establish a women’s Olympic Marathon was itself something of a long-distance race.
Women had been excluded from long-distance running until 1928, when the typical long race was the 800 meters. The women competitors hadn’t properly prepared for the race and several fell down and became temporarily unconscious due to extreme tiredness. This led Olympic organizers in 1928 to consider the marathon too violent for women.
This is not to say there was no tradition of women’s long-distance running.
Women had been prohibited from participating in the ancient Olympics by the cruel law. But women in ancient Greece held their own festival to honor the goddess Hera every five years. Only one athletic event was held — a running race.
When the Olympics were revived in 1896, women were again excluded. However, in 1967, women’s ability in running attracted great attention. Number 261 in the Boston Marathon was given to K V. Switzer. Not until two miles into the race did officials realize that Switzer was a woman. Race officials tried to catch Switzer and remove her from the race but her teammates fended them off with body blocks. And Switzer wasn’t scared by officials’ aggressive actions. She kept running. Although the running was demanding, Switzer didn’t give up and eventually finished the race. Switzers story made the quest for equality in
long-distance running for women a political issue. Slowly, the rules did begin to change.
The first women’s marathon officially agreed by the IAAF was the Tokyo International, held in 1979. IAAF president Adriaan Paulen watched the race. He was so impressed by the level of the competition that he announced he would
fully support the effort to establish a women’s marathon in the Olympics. Soon the IAAF recommended to the IOC that a women’s marathon be included in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. And the advice was adopted.
4. What was the reason for women’s failing to attend the Olympic Marathon in 1928?
A. They generally weren’t enthusiastic about it.
B. They were thought not strong enough for it.
C. They weren’t supported by the public to attend it.
D. They were too tired to make full preparations for it.
5. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3?
A. separated
B. banned
C. freed
D. protected
6. Which of the following best describe Switzer?
A. Brave and determined.
B. Talented and kind.
C. Honest and easygoing.
D. Optimistic and clever.
7. What’s Adriaan Paulen’s contribution to women’s running?
A. Letting women have the right to compete against men in running.
B. Making a series of rules for women’s running.
C. Having trained many outstanding women runners.
D. Helping women be qualified for the Olympic Marathon.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章主要说明了女性在争取女子长跑马拉松资格中的努力，在1928年以前，女子长跑一直被排除在外。

当奥运会在1896年恢复时，妇女再次被排除在外，而一个
名为K V. Switzer的女性因为勇敢和比赛官方斗争，并完成了比赛使追求女性长跑平等成为一个政治问题。

后来在Adriaan Paulen的建议下女性获得参加奥运会马拉松的资格。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中The women competitors hadn’t properly prepared for the race and several fell down and became temporarily unconscious due to extreme tiredness. This led Olympic organizers in 1928 to consider the marathon too violent for women.可知女选手们没有做好比赛准备，有几位选手因极度疲劳而摔倒，暂时失去意识。

这使得1928年的奥运会组织者认为马拉松比赛对女性来说过于激烈了。

由此可知，女子未能参加1928年奥运会马拉松比赛的原因是他们被认为不够强壮。

故选B。

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据后文from participating in the ancient Olympics by the cruel law…Only one athletic event was held — a running race.可知在古代，残酷的法律禁止妇女参加奥运会。

唯一能参加的体育赛事就是跑步比赛。

由此可知，划线单词意思为“禁止”。

A. separated分开；B. banned禁止；C. freed解放；D. protected保护。

故选B。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段中Race officials tried to catch Switzer and remove her from the race but her teammates fended them off with body blocks. And Switzer wasn’t scared by officials’ aggressive actions. She kept running. Although the running was demanding, Switzer didn’t give up and eventually finished the race.
Switzers story made the quest for equality in long-distance running for women a political issue. Slowly, the rules did begin to change.可知比赛官员试图抓住Switzer并把她带离比赛，但她的队友用身体挡开了他们。

瑞士官员的激进行动并没有吓倒
他们。

她一直在跑。

虽然跑起来很吃力，但Switzer没有放弃，最终完成了比赛。

Switzer
的故事使追求女性长跑平等成为一个政治问题。

慢慢地，规则开始改变。

由此可推知，Switzer是个勇敢挑战权威，且坚定完成了比赛的女性。

故选A。

【7题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段中He was so impressed by the level of the competition that he announced he would fully support the effort to establish a women’s marathon in the Olympics. Soon the IAAF recommended to the IOC that a women’s marathon be included in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. And the advice was adopted.可知比赛的水平给他留下了深刻的印象，他宣布他将全力支持女子马拉松在奥运会上的发展。

不久，国际田联向国际奥委会推荐在1984年洛杉矶奥运会中加入女子马拉松。

这个建议被采纳了。

由此可知，Adriaan Paulen对女子跑步的贡献是帮助女性获得参加奥运会马拉松的资格。

故选D。

C
We often hear such statements: “I spilled (洒出) juice, but it wasn’t my fault.”, “I got in trouble at school, but it wasn’t my fault.” or “I was in a car accident, but it wasn’t my fault.” That “It’s not my fault.” is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers.
Parents complain they are tired of the “excuse”. The reason why variations of “It’s not my fault.” are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame. I’m a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I
can’t control. Teens who often say “It’s my fault.” when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical, perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.
While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself, many teens over-rely on “It’s not my fault.” When trying to get them to take responsibility, parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something
is their fault. The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power
struggle. No one wins. A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase.
Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives. This sense has been shown to cause low motivation. Besides creating feelings of lack of ability, overuse of “It’s not my fault.” focuses a teen’s attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done.
People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway. The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake. One can certainly stay in water, yelling, “It’s not my fault.” However, that won’t get him out of water. He needs to swim to the shore, regardless of the fault.
If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens, you can help them avoid over-reliance on “It’s not my fault.”
8. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?
A. The teenagers’ dislike for school life.
B. The common trouble faced by teenagers.
C. The reasons for blaming others for accidents.
D. The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life.
9. What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text?
A. Those lacking confidence and ambition.
B. Those allowing others to find excuses.
C. Those unable to get along well with others.
D. Those often blaming themselves for some incidents.
10. What’s the author’s attitude to parents’ usual way of guiding children?
A. Supportive.
B. Negative.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Neutral.
11. What lesson is conveyed in the example often shared by the author?
A. We should try to avoid troubling others.
B. We should focus on how to solve problems.
C. We should dare to point out others’ mistakes.
D. We should be self-critical as much as possible.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。

青少年经常说“不是我的错”，作者分析了其原因、危害及父母应该如何
引导孩子承担责任。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

第一段提到：我们经常在生活中听到这样的言论“橙汁洒了，但不是我的错；
我在学校陷入麻烦，但不是我的错；我出车祸了，但不是我的错”，最后一句总结上述言论That “It’s not my fault.” is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers.(“不是我的错”是很多人尤其是青少年的应急反应)，由此可推知，第一段主要描述了人们不想为生活中的麻烦事负责的倾向，总是脱口而出“不是我的错”。

故选D项。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段最后一句Teens who often say “It’s my fault.” when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical, perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.(当不好的事情发生时，经常说“是我的错”的青少年倾向于高度自我批评，完美主义，并且更容易被焦虑和沮丧困扰)可知，
经常因为事情责怪自己的人倾向于遭受极大的精神压力。

故选D项。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段中“When trying to get them to take responsibility, parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault. The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle.(当试图让孩子承担责任时，父母通常说服孩子是他们的错。

这个方法倾向于无效，并且会变成权利斗争)”可知，作者对父母引导孩子的方法持消极态度。

故选B项。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。

第五段举了一个例子，如果一个人被推进湖里，他可以大喊“不是我的错”，
但这无济于事，虽然不是他的错，他还是要想办法游到岸上去，印证了本段第一句提到的
“人们可能不是所有问题的原因，但是无论如何他们必须解决这些问题”，所以作者通过这
个例子想分享的教训是人们应该专注于如何解决问题。

故选B项。

D
Cells in our brain usually send “stop eating” signal when we’ve had enough. But after mice ate fatty foods for just two weeks, their brains’ brake on overeating quieted down. That finding may help explain the complex link between food and appetite that can become disordered when people overeat.
Food is essential to life. Our brains have, therefore, evolved a series of systems to make sure we eat enough. Garret Stuber, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington, together with his team took aim at one brain area known to be involved in eating behaviors.
This lateral hypothalamus (下丘脑外侧区) contains many diverse cells Stuber’s group looked at the behaviors of genes in the cells here. And in one type—glutamatergic nerve (谷氨酸能神经) cells—big differences appear between fat mice and lean ones.
Earlier work by Stuber’s group had suggested that these cells act like a brake on eating. When the researchers prevented these cells from firing, mice suddenly overate. They also fattened up. But it wasn’t clear how the cells’ activity changed as the mice transitioned from slim to fat.
“Obesity doesn’t just happen overnight,” notes Stuber. To find out the secret, his group undertook a new study. They fed mice high-fat food. Now and again, they’d use a fancy microscope to look at how well the animals’ glutamatergic cells could fire off signals.
Two weeks into the high-fat food—even before the mice became round – the activity of these nerve cells had slowed. It continued as the animals grew
larger over a 12-week period. “The cells’ activity was going down as a
function of high-fat diet. The results suggest that the high-fat diet is removing the brake on eating and obesity,” explains Stuber.
It’s hard to say whether similar cells normally control people’s appetite. Brain-imaging tests have shown that the same brain region —the hypothalamus—plays a role when people shift between hunger and feeling full.
12. What happened after the mice ate fatty foods for two weeks?
A. Their appetite was getting worse.
B. Their brains became disordered.
C. They refused to eat zero fat food.
D. They lacked a feeling of fullness.
13. It can be learned from the text that glutamatergic nerve cells ________.
A. are easily found in lean mice
B. can prevent mice from
overeating
C. function well under any condition
D. are a main part of lateral hypothalamus
14. Why did Stuber’s group undertake the new study?
A. To study the role of glutamatergic cells in mice’s fattening up.
B. To find out the link between high-fat diets and obesity.
C. To find out deciding factors in mice’s appetite.
D. To study the eating habit of fat mice.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Obesity influences glutamatergic nerves’ function.
B. Glutamatergic nerves decide people’s appetite.
C. High-fat diets lead to overeating.
D. Our brains control our food choices.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】

文章主要说明了研究人员通过试验发现，老鼠只吃了两周的高脂肪食物，他们的大脑对过量饮食的抑制就会平静下来。

这一发现可能有助于解释食物和食欲之间的复杂联系，当人们吃得过多时，食欲会变得紊乱。

研究人员发现侧下丘脑中一种名为谷氨酸能神经的细胞可以防止暴饮暴食，就像是进食的刹车，而高脂肪饮食会让这类细胞的活动减缓。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中But after mice ate fatty foods for just two weeks, their brains’ brake on overeating quieted down.可知但是，老鼠只吃了两周的高脂肪食物，他们的大脑对过量饮食的抑制就会平静下来。

由此可知，老鼠吃了两周高脂肪食物后，发生
了缺乏饱腹感的情况。

故选D。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中And in one type—glutamatergic nerve (谷氨酸能神经) cells—big differences appear between fat mice and lean ones.可知在一种类型的谷氨酸神经细胞中，肥壮老鼠和瘦老鼠之间出现了巨大的差异。

以及第四段中Earlier work by Stuber’s group had suggested that these cells act like a brake on eating. When the researchers prevented these cells from firing, mice suddenly overate.可知斯图博团队早期的研究表明，这些细胞起到了抑制进食的作用。

当研究人员阻止这些细胞活动时，老鼠突然暴饮暴食。

由此可知，谷氨酸神经细胞可以防止老鼠暴饮暴食。

故选
B。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第五段“Obesity doesn’t just happen overnight,” notes Stuber. To find out the secret, his group undertook a new study. They fed mice high-fat food. Now and again, they’d use a fancy microscope to look at how well the animals’ glutamatergic cells could fire off signals.可知“肥胖不是一夜之间就会发生的，” Stuber指出。

为了找出这个秘密，他的小组进行了一项新的研究。

他们给老鼠喂高脂肪食物。

时不时地，他们会用一台奇特的显微镜来观察动物的谷氨酸细胞发出信号的能力。

由此可推知，Stuber的小组进行这项新的研究，是为了研究谷氨酸细胞在老鼠增肥中的作用。

故选A。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中But after mice ate fatty foods for just two weeks, their brains’ brake on overeating quieted down. That finding may help explain the complex link between food and appetite that can become disordered when people overeat.可知但是，老鼠只吃了两周的高脂肪食物，他们的大脑对过量饮食的抑制就会平静下来。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据文章内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余
选项。

Do what you love and love what you do and success will come? Well, we wish. ___16___It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.
Passion is just emotion; care is an action.
Wishing hard and wanting something really badly won’t give you anything. Passion is a barely controllable emotion, and emotion is not always reliable.
___17___
In today’s world where people always talk about finding your passion, it still seems vague (模糊的) to many. On the other hand, if you’re asked to find something you care about, it’s easier for you to take action.
___18___
There’s a lot of work to do besides being enthusiastic. For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting. ___19___The belief that you’ll do it well anyway as long as you like it is just an illusion.
Learn not just what you care about, but what’s around that too.
When you’ve got your focus, try to map out the skills you need to get
better at that. When you have the learning plan ready, apply that course you need, get yourself the tools required and start learning and practicing.
Success is a way to go, but you can start right now.
___20___But if you’ve already got your passion, it will be good enough to make that your foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take actions, Instead of passively letting your passion wander around, be active and do something that will push you forward.
A. Care is different, it implies actions.
B. “Like it” doesn’t mean “Good at it”.
C. Passion alone doesn’t guarantee success.
D. However, reality is not as simple as we want it to be.
E. You are good at something and you need the world to know.
F. Desire to make a difference in the world with your strengths.
G. To become an expert, you need to be always learning and improving your skill.【答案】16. D 17. A 18. B 19. G 20. C
【解析】

文章讲述了激情在成功路上的作用，但是要想在任何事情上取得成功，光有激情是不够的。

文章主要说明了在成功路上除激情之外，还需要的一些其他因素。

【16题详解】
根据后文It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.可知要想在任何事情上取得成功，光有激情是不够的。

由此可知，上文提到的“做你热爱的事，热爱你所做的事，成功就会到来”的想法只是我们所希望的，现实并不是想象的那么简单。

故D选项“然而，现实并不像我们想的那样简单”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【17题详解】
根据小标题Passion is just emotion; care is an action.(激情只是情感；关心是一种行动)以及上文 Passion is a barely controllable emotion, and emotion is not always reliable.可知激情是一种几乎无法控制的情感，情感并不总是可靠的。

由此可知，关心意
味着要行动。

故A选项“关心是不同的，它意味着行动”符合上下文语境，故选A。

【18题详解】
根据后文中For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting.可知例如，你可以对绘画充满热情，但是如果你没有任何的艺术感和绘画技巧，
你很难成为一个绘画专家。

由此可知，本段主要旨在说明喜欢一件事情并不意味着你擅长做这件事。

故B选项““喜欢”并不意味着“擅长””符合上下文语境，故选B。

【19题详解】
根据上文For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting.可知例如，你可以对绘画充满热情，但是如果你没有任何的艺术感和绘画技巧，
你很难成为一个绘画专家。

以及后文The belief that you’ll do it well anyway as long as you like it is just an illusion.可知相信只要你喜欢就会做得很好只是一种幻觉。

由此可知，本句承接上文说明要想成为专家，需要不断学习和提高技能，也不是空想。

故G选项“要成为专家，你需要不断学习和提高你的技能”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【20题详解】
根据后文But if you’ve already got your passion, it will be good enough to make that your foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take actions, Instead of passively letting your passion wander around, be active and do something that will push you forward.可知但是如果你已经有了你的激情，那就足够让它成为你继续前进的基础和动力了。

开始规划你需要的技能并采取行动，而不是被动地让你的激情四处游荡，积极地做一些能推动你前进的事情。

由此可知，后文but表示转折，说明仅仅有激情并不能保证成功，但是激情可以成为你继续前进的基础和动力。

故C选项“仅仅有激情并不能保证成功”符合上下文语境，故选C。
