2 . Kite surfing is a sport that takes place on the surface of the water, on top of boards that are similar in design to wakeboards (尾波滑水板), with the surfer pulled by a kite. The popularity of kite surfing has grown, although it is rather difficult to master. Kite surfing uses the same equipment as kite boarding, but is generally given more to riding on top of waves, rather than on smaller lakes or other calm bodies of water.

Early experiments in kite transportation took place through the 19th century, and at the dawn of the 20th century Samuel Cody crossed the English Channel using kites and a small boat. Kite surfing itself, however, wasn’t really born until the late 1970s. Beginning in that decade, more people became involved in using kites for personal transport and sport. Kite technology itself advanced enormously during the 1970s, with kites becoming much more controllable.

The early kite surfing was rather accidental, but innovators continued to develop the technology to make it easier to control and safer. By the late 1990s, kite surfing was becoming popular off the coast of Maui, France and throughout the world. In 1997, a special kite system was built specifically for kite surfing, which helped kite surfing into the mainstream.

Because of the high speeds and the dangers, it is generally recommended that would-be kite surfers take at least a few basic classes to learn the fundamentals. The main attraction of kite surfing is the potential for amazing tricks. The kite allows the surfer to experience enormous jumps, flying through the air for large distances before hitting the water in a controlled fashion. Like skateboarding, kite surfing makes use of a number of board grabs, with complex tricks possible due to the long period of time the surfer can remain in the air.

1. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?

A．What is kite surfing.	B．Where to go kite surfing.
C．How to enjoy kite surfing.	D．Why people like kite surfing.

2. In the 19th century, people intended to use kite for ________.

A．sport	B．experiment
C．entertainment	D．transportation

3. What can we know from the third paragraph?

A．Kite surfing often leads to accidents.

B．Maui is home to kite surfing.

C．Kite control is the key to kite surfing.

D．Kite surfing came into being in the 1990s.

4. What is most charming for people surfing?

3 . Every racehorse has different abilities．Like humans，some are short- distance runners，while others are marathoners． Figuring out which is which and how to pace them can be the difference between failure in the finish and taking the award home．Jockeys （赛马骑师） and trainers have traditionally relied on centuries of experience and data from previous races to plan their races．

Amandine Aftalion，a mathematician in Paris，thought she could add to that．Since 2013，she has been analyzing the performances of world champion runners like Usain Bolt．She has found that short-distance runners tend to win when they start strong and gradually slow down toward the finish line．But in medium-distance races，runners perform better when they start strong，settle down，and finish with a burst of speed．

Her model shows how those winning strategies maximize the energy output of muscles reliant on two different pathways：powerful aerobic（有氧的）ones that require oxygen，which can be in limited supply during a race，and anaerobic ones，which don't need oxygen but build up waste products that lead to tiredness．

Aftalion wondered which strategy would be best for horses．So she and Quentin Mercier，another mathematician， took advantage of a new GPS tracking tool inserted in French racing saddles（马鞍）．

The two studied patterns in many races at the Chantilly racetracks north of Paris and developed a model that accounted for winning strategies for three different races：a short one(1，300 meters)， a medium one (1,900 meters)， and a slightly longer one (2,100 meters)，all with different starting points on the same track．The model takes into account not just different race distances，but also the size or friction from the track surface．

The results might surprise jockeys who hold horses back early for bursts of energy in the last finish．Instead，a strong start leads to a better finish，the team found．“That doesn't mean those jockeys are wrong，though．If the start is too strong，it can be devastating as well，leaving the horse tired by the end，” Aftalion says．

1. What should a runner do to get an award according to the text?

A．Make a good start．	B．Plan for the race early．
C．Run slowly on the starting line．	D．Try running quickly all the time．

2. What formed the basis for Aftalion's studying horse race?

A．The experience and data from previous horse races．

B．The benefit of knowing horses' different abilities．

C．The success in studying runners' winning strategies．

D．The performance of horses on different race distances．

3. What does the underlined word“devastating”in the last paragraph mean?

A．Boring．

B．Damaging．

C．Astonishing．

D．Puzling．

4. What can we infer from the text?

A．Runners have the same energy output of muscles．

B．Aftalion's findings may help horses to win the race．

C．What Jockeys and trainers do makes no sense to horses．

D．World champion runners made a contribution to the study．

4 . Lloyd Black decided to join the Anytime Fitness gym in Semmes, Alabama last year after he found himself struggling to accomplish simple household tasks. The 91-year-old man hoped that joining a gym might help him build strength and reduce his aches and pains. Over the past year, Black has been faithfully coming to the gym three times a week. His overalls (工装裤) really catch plenty of attention. He says that he prefers to wear overalls during his workouts because they are comfortable, and he has “trouble keeping his trousers up” other-wise.

When Black first joined Anytime Fitness, gym manager Ashley Seaman said he could barely last 10 minutes on the treadmill (跑步机) without becoming winded. Now, however, the senior can effortlessly do power walking for thirty minutes before moving on to his workout routine. As a means of praising Black for his advance, Seaman recently named Black “Mem-ber of the Month”.

He also takes time to help other seniors new to the gym learn how to use the weightlifting machines. “He's just a friendly soul. He will go to the other elderly members and show them how to use the machines,” Seaman shared in a post on the gym's Facebook page. “Someone like him always encourages others to keep it up and include fitness in their life,” the post reads. “Seeing him work out three times a week in his overalls brightens our day!”

As a result of his work at the gym, Black finds it easier to mow (割) the seven acres of grass at his house and tool around in his woodworking shop. He experiences less daily dis-comfort and moves more easily. He always says, “Age is just a number and it doesn't mean you can't get into the gym.”

1. What makes Black draw the attention of the gym members?

A．His too slow pace.	B．His unique clothes.
C．His difference in age.	D．His clinical symptoms.

2. What was the main reason for Black's winning the name “Member of the Month”?

A．His physical quality.

B．His operational skills.

C．His willingness to help others.

D．His great progress in workouts.

3. How did Seaman describe Black in his post?

A．He's inspiring.	B．He's ambitious.
C．He's respectful.	D．He’s demanding.

4. What can we learn from Black's story?

A．It's never too late to take exercise.

B．The stronger the body, the more intelligent the brain.

C．Walk a hundred steps after dinner and live to ninety -nine.

D．Practise long-distance running daily, getting older and younger.

9 . Accompanied by her father, using a combination of aid and free climbing and taking advantage of some special equipment and ropes for protection, 10-year-old Selah made it to the top of El Capitan on June 12 after five days of big wall climbing.

Climbing the challenging and adventurous Nose route of El Capitan was a labor of love for Selah in more than one way. Her parents , Mike and Joy Schneiter, fell in love on this 3,000- plus-foot huge rock and she has always wanted to feel the way that her parents felt when they were up there together. Selah showed great interest in rock climbing at an early age. She wore her first rock-climbing equipment shortly after she learned to walk. She first dreamed of climbing El Capitan when she was 6 or 7.

El Capitan is a famous mountain-sized rock in Yosemite National Park. Getting to its top is no easy task. It's taller, as reported, than the tallest building in the world-Dubai^’s Buri Khalifa. El Capitan and its difficult Nose route, which runs more than 3,000 feet high up the center of the rock's face, is considered one of the world's hardest big wall climbs and has attracted the best climbers over time. But never before had a youngster accomplished it.

Selah's achievement caught national attention. Outside Magazine called her the youngest documented person to climb the Nose. Ken Yager, president of the Yosemite Climbing Association, said he also couldn't think of anyone younger who has done it.

Selah is humble about her El Capitan accomplishment. "I'm not necessarily a special kid or anything like that, she said. "There were a few times when I would be so worn that it would kind of discourage me from holding on. But overall, it was just great to keep plugging away.”

Selah shared this advice for other young climbers dreaming of big walls, "It doesn't take necessarily a super special person to do something like that. You just have to put your mind to it.”

1. What do we learn about Selah climbing El Capitan?

A．She began her climbing on June 5.

B．She got inspired by her family history.

C．She managed without any external help.

D．She was the first female to reach the top.

2. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?

A．To state El Capitan's height.

B．To prove El Capitan's popularity.

C．To introduce El Capitan's location.

D．To stress the challenge of climbing El Capitan.

3. Which of the following best describes Selah?

A．Determined.	B．Generous.
C．Warm-hearted.	D．Fortunate.

4. What may be Selah's advice for other young climbers?

A．Dream big and aim high.

B．Be committed to your ambition.

C．Chance favors the prepared mind.

D．Nothing is impossible for a genius.

10 . It's not often to see a woman who’s seven months pregnant running a marathon. But Beatie Deutsch is anything but typical.

The 30-year-old mother of five is ranked as one of the top women marathon runners in the world and, as of today, has qualified for the 32nd Summer Olympics. What impresses people more deeply is that, unlike many Olympic hopefuls who have been training their whole lives, Deutsch only took up running four years ago.

Why did she train for a marathon? "I was really out of shape after having five kids," she said. "So I set the goal for myself of running a marathon and that helped me. I needed something to be motivated to get out there and train every day. I didn't ever expect it to take me to this."

The Israeli press has been tracking her with pride, calling her "Speedy Beatie". Hoping to add more purpose to her newfound fame, Deutsch uses her running as a way to raise money for a charity Beit Daniella. This nonprofit organization provides a recovery center for youths who are struggling with mental health issues.

That mission（使命）is helping fuel her Olympic dreams. At the Tiberias Marathon last month, Deutsch was the fastest woman in the race. This past September, she finished the Cape Town Marathon in two hours and thirty-six minutes. That's a few minutes shy of her personal best of two hours and twenty-nine minutes, a time that qualifies her for the Olympics. She will try to shave even more time off when she competes in the Rotterdam Marathon this April.

It's remarkable for someone who started her athletic career in her late 20s. "I always tell people to have big dreams, and set huge goals. Don't get caught up in the place where we are right now and have tunnel vision and are limited in what we see of ourselves," said Deutsch, who now travels the world as a motivational speaker.

1. What is the main reason for Deutsch's being impressive?

A．Her typical birth place.	B．Her five lovely children.
C．Her identity as a marathon runner	D．Her short time involved in running

2. Which word can best describe Deutsch?

A．Creative.	B．Caring.
C．Modest.	D．Adaptable.

3. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5

A．Deutsch’s dream	B．Deutsch’s mission
C．Deutsch's achievement.	D．Deutsch's shy personality.

4. What lesson is the author most likely to share?

A．Life lies in movement.	B．Dream big and aim high
C．Interest is the best teacher.	D．Wealth is nothing without health.
