2 . The final event in the Olympics is the marathon. It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42-kilometer race, the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer. The name of the race comes from a battle(战争) in Ancient Greece. According to the story, a soldier ran from the battle field, Marathon, to Athens, to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians. He died just after arriving.

The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896. At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908, however, at the London Olympics, it was changed. The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers. In fact, the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地). When the leader, an Italian, entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line, just as the second runner, an American, entered the stadium. The Americans protested(抗议) and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布) the winner. Since then, there have been many more exciting marathons.

In fact, you don’t have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon, as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today. One of the most famous marathons is in New York, and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city, and past New York’s famous landmarks. But perhaps one of the most beautiful and unique marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon, which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.

The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most people—even people who are not very good at sport—can run a marathon, if they train for it.

1. What did the crowd do when the leader came into the stadium?

A．They stood up quietly.	B．They shouted with excitement.
C．They carried him to the line.	D．They cried sadly.

2. How is the second paragraph developed?

A．By following time order.	B．By listing numbers.
C．By following space order.	D．By giving reasons.

3. What do we know about the marathon according to the passage?

A．The name of the race comes from a battle in Greece.

B．The Marathons have the same length all the time.

C．The Great Wall Marathon is the easiest course to run.

D．People not good at sport cannot run a marathon unless trained.

4. Which is the most special marathon mentioned in the passage?

A．The Marathon in London in 1908.

B．The Great Wall Marathon.

C．The Marathon in New York.

D．The Marathon in 1896.

3 . There’s a new “Papa” Hemingway in the island city where legendary author Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote for most of the 1930s.

More than 100 men competed for the title of “man who most resembles author and former Key West resident Ernest Hemingway” this weekend in Florida—and only one man succeeded. Jon Auvil caught the keen eye of the judges, who awarded him the winner in the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest at Sloppy Joe’s Bar on Saturday. Auvil beat out 124 other men for the title, according to theAssociated Press.

Some of the look-alike hopefuls showed up in wool fisherman’s sweaters—while other contestants wore sportsmen’s clothes. Yet Auvil—a lawyer—wore a cream-colored sweater; it was apparently that touch that helped him take the crown.

The Hemingway Look-Alike Contest participants were judged by the winners of previous contests at Sloppy Joe’s Bar, the Duval Street saloon where Hemingway and his friends frequently gathered.

Crowds of audience cheered enthusiastically for their favorites as they paraded on stage at the bar and took turns speaking. Most participants tried toemulatethe author in his later years, including full beards, as well as the way he behaves, dresses, and speaks.

In addition to appearance, Auvil said he shared other features with Ernest Hemingway including a love of fishing. He has also tried his hand at writing fiction and a bit of nonfiction. “Of course, every man wants to write like Hemingway,” Auvil said. “He represents a lot—romance, masculinity (男子气概), sports, love of the sea, love of a woman, love of children...and life.”

Hemingway, the Nobel Prize-winning author, wrote famous classics includingFor Whom the Bell TollsandTo Have and Have Notwhile living in Key West. The event also included theconclusion of the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition directed by Ernest’s granddaughter,an author.

6 . Australian Open Wheelchair Tennis Winners

Wheelchair tennis champ Kunieda won the men's Australian Open once more on Thursday, beating a player from the United Kingdom. Diede Groot won the women's wheelchair finals by defeating Aniek van Koot.

This is the 11th time winning the Australian Open for Japan's Kunieda. But the two hours and 12 minutes match wasn't an easy one. He won the first set, but the player from the United Kingdom took the second set. Kunieda came roaring back in the third set to take the prize, 7-5, 3-6, 6-2. He seemed to surprise even himself. "I played the best tennis of my career," he said, "Especially in the final set. I don't know how I did it, but I pushed past my limit. "He staged a comeback after losing in the semi-finals of last year's Australian Open.

In the women's wheelchair finals, it was a contest between two athletes from the Netherlands. From early on, Diede Groot seemed to be in control. Much of the difference in play came from Groot's strong and steady serve. She made her first serve count 74% of the time, In the second set, she got out to a 5-0 lead before giving up a game to Aniek van Koot. But it didn't take her long to get back on track, winning the match 6-1, 6-1. The entire match took less than an hour. "I'm super happy," said Diede Groot. "It's the beginning of the year. I think I've showed everyone that I'm ready for the rest of the year." It was her 13th Grand Slam singles title. Last year, she earned a "Golden Slam" by winning all four Grand Slam tournaments, as well as a Paralympic gold.

7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Rivaldo was playing football from the age of 4. When he was 7, he joined a local football club. He attended the training regularly but never got a chance to play in matches. But the coach had faith in him. He told Rivaldo that he should focus on his training, and one day he would get the chance. Rivaldo had no other option but to continue training in the club. He was training very hard and focused on improving himself.

Even after two years in the club, he never played in a match. He was not even allowed to travel along with the team. One day their club had a charity match, where a famous footballer was a chief guest. While the team was planning to travel, one of the support staff who used to take care of kits got ill. So, they needed someone for this.

The coach thought this should be an opportunity for Rivaldo. So, he told him to travel with the team and take care of the kits. Other support staff objected to it, but he convinced them.

The team reached the stadium. There were a lot of crowds to witness the celebrity footballer. For Rivaldo, this is his first-time experience in the stadium. He was helping the other players with the kits for the pre-match training. The coach came for a chat with Rivaldo. He told Rivaldo, “You are playing today.”

Rivaldo, for a moment, got frozen and asked him why. He said, “One of the players from the team got injured while training. So, we are short of players. We need someone to be in the field to make it 11. But I know you are more than that. So, go and prove yourself”. There was resistance from the support staff. Luckily for Rivaldo, the coach, through the organizing committee, convinced Rivaldo’s team management to allow him to play.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

8 . Female figure skaters aren’t really expected to be able to do triple axels(三周半跳). Especially not older ones---in the Olympics, that means older than 20. Mirai Nagasu did both, nailing the jump in competition at 24 during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She was the first American woman to land a triple axel in the Olympic Games-and only the third woman to do it.

Nagasu’s been pursuing her own path since she was just 5. “My parents used to take me golfing(打高尔夫球)every day because that was the career they wanted me to have,” she wrote. “They took me ice skating one day because we couldn’t go golfing due to the rain, and after that, I kept asking to be taken to go skating.” Her ambition paid off eventually, beginning with a host of Four Continents and ISU World Junior Championship medals and ending with two World Championship and two Olympic appearances each.

Unlike other popular athletes who’ve traded childhood for training, Nagasu had to attend public school by day and help her parents in their restaurant by night. “They really taught me to work for what I want,” she said. That lesson was put to the test in 2014, when despite taking third place at the U. S. Figure Skating Championships, Nagasu was passed over for the Olympic team in favor of fourth-place finisher Ashley Wagner. Some athletes might have taken off their skates for good at that point. Instead, Nagasu got a new coach and learned the triple axel. After two years under his instruction, she displayed her new skill in the U. S. National Championships. By the time she tried it on Olympic ice in 2018, she’d perfected it. Nagasu performed the difficult three-and-a-half jump, helping her team win a bronze medal(铜牌) in the end.

1. Which of the following statements about Mirai Nagasu is TRUE?

A．She disliked ice skating at a young age.

B．She was well-known as a golfer in America.

C．She succeeded in the 2018 Olympics for her triple axel.

D．She was the first woman who successfully did a triple axel.

2. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?

A．Nagasu’s creativity and ambition.	B．Nagasu’s family background.
C．Nagasu’s education at home.	D．Nagasu’s road to success.

3. What happened to Mirai Nagasu in 2014?

A．She had to quit training out of economic reason.

B．She dropped out of school to help her parents in the restaurant.

C．She failed to be involved in the Olympics for some reason beyond expectation.

D．She was defeated by Ashley Wagner at the U. S. Figure Skating Championships.

4. What lesson can we learn from Mirai Nagasu’s story?

A．Interest is the best teacher.	B．Poor children are in charge early.
C．Misfortune may be an actual blessing.	D．Success comes from constant effort.

10 . Two world championships were decided this weekend on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In England, the Rugby World Cup was decided. In New York, the baseball season saw its final match. More than 80,000 audiences watched New Zealand win the Rugby championship 34-17 over Australia. The match was held on Saturday at the famous Twickenham Stadium near London.

It was the second world title for New Zealand. Fans call the team “All Blacks” because of their black uniforms. A day later, the baseball World Series came to a close with a win by the Kansas City Royals over the New York Mets.

In the World Series, the first team to win four games claims victory. The Royals won four of the first five games played with the Mets. Kansas City last won in 1985.

The Rugby World Cup opened on September 18, when England defeated Fiji. Forty-eight matches and six weeks later, New Zealand won the title. Going into the tournament, the All Blacks were ranked No.1 in the world.

Every tournament like this has a “favorite”, or the team expected to win. The tournament also has an “underdog” , or the team less likely to win. But the underdog often becomes a favorite. This year in the Rugby World Cup, the “underdog” team was Japan.

Coming into the tournament, Japan was ranked 13th in the world. But after an inspiring showing in the group stage of the tournament, Japan moved up three places to 10th. Aside from the championship game itself, the match that created the biggest surprise came when Japan defeated world No.3 South Africa 34-32.The Associated Press called it “the biggest shock in Rugby World Cup history”.
