At 85 years old, this retired concert pianist who only began running in later life can complete a half marathon in just over two hours and holds the world record for her age group.“Before I turned 78, the last time I ran was in college, and I was really bad,” she said, standing in her home in front of a wall of some 500 medals recognising her athletic feats. Her late fame as a runner has come as a surprise for the pianist who arrived in South Africa from Britain in 1970. Shortly after 2000, Larkin’s doctor diagnosed her with osteoporosis which she was unable to treat with medication or injections.Then in 2010, one of her four children briefly moved into her home in Johannesburg’s middle-class Randburg suburb. “My son ran three times a week. I said I would join him. When Istarted, I was walking three steps, running three steps, walking three st eps...” she recalled.Just seven years later, her running had been transformed. In May she was invited to compete in Switzerland where she completed a half-marathon in two hours and five minutes, setting a world record for her age group.“Running i n Geneva was absolute magic and the race itself was lovely. It was flat, you started in the gardens, you came to the fields and you ran alongside the lake,” she said.Last year alone she ran in 65 races, including several 21-km half-marathons. “There’s always an element of disbelief. I can’t believe I’ve done it. But my body tells me the next day I certainly did it,” she said. And despite preparing to turn 86 in September, Larkin has no intention of slowing down. “I can imagine a life without running bu t it’s a kind of slow death,” she said. “I’m going to run as long as I can—even if I only have one leg. I will never give up running.”24. What can we learn about Deirdre Larkin from the first two paragraphs?A. She is a holder of the marathon world record.B. She runs an 8-kilometre training course every day.C. She was an excellent runner in college.D. She took up the sport before 1978.25. What might Deirdre Larkin feel when she began to run in 2010?A. She might feel happy.B. She might feel crazy.C. She might feel discouraged.D. She might feel content.26. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.. Running.B. Geneva.C. The race.D. The lake.27. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. Running and SicknessB. A Brilliant PlayerC. Ways of RunningD. Never Say NeverCChina used to be called the “Kingdom of Bicycles”, but since then, cars have taken over the country. There are too many vehicles and pedestrians in the street now, so the roads are crowded nearly all the time, and even going a few kilometers can take up to an hour, which can explain the fact that it’s very difficult to travel across major Chinese cities.Now, new apps that help people register and find bikes are being used more and more across cities like Beijing. The new apps that let people share bicycles are easing traffic and reducing pollution. Cheng Li started using bike share services about six months ago. He said now he is using the car less and the bike more. For Zhang Jian, the bike share revolution makes him recollect the old days. “Now, when we’re riding home from work, especia lly in the evening, when it’s not as rushed, it feels like we’re reliving the past,” Zhang said.However, there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity. Some providers are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes that they completely block the sidewalks. This has become a problem for city governments. It is not uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or onthe sidewalk. This blocks cars and people in already crowded cities.In Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing illegally parked bikes. VOA spoke to a woman who said, “Bike sharing is really convenient, but no one is taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes.” Behind her were several thousand seized bikes.Many people in China feel that bike shares are helping reduce the country’s transportation problems and polluted air. However, they also hope companies will do more to improve their service and avoid flooding the streets with bikes.28. Which is the cause of traffic jams in major Chinese cities?A. The booming of cars.B. Lack of bike share services.C. Poor road conditions.D. Lack of parking lots.29. What does the underlined word “recollect” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Step forward.B. Back off.C. Look back.D. Slide away.30. What does Paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us about the bike shares?A. Their popularity.B. Their problems.C. Their competition.D. Their advantages.31. What can we infer about bike shares from the last paragraph?A. They create bike revolution.B. They solve the traffic problems.C. They bring about polluted air.D. They need further improving.DThe amount of conflicting advice on how to bring up happy and successful children can make your head spin. Parents often find themselves questioning how strict they should be with youngsters and how much independence they should allow them.Now a new book, Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells Us About Raising Successful Children, by psychologists says our approach is wrong—because we’re training them t o be computers. Instead of focusing on “success” at school, we should be teaching them how to be better at being social, navigate relationships and be good citizens in a community.“We’re training kids to do what computers do, which is to spit back facts,” Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, told the website. “And computers are always going to be better than human beings at that.” This way of thinking challenges our definition of what success in school, and out of school, mean s, they say. “Instead, we should focus on the ‘six Cs’ of parenting,” says Professor Hirsh-Pasek. This is collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative innovation and confidence—listed in order of importance.“Collaboration is everything from getting along with others to controlling your impulses so you can not kick someone else off the swing,” Professor Hirsh-Pasek explained. Everything your child does, in the classroom or at home, has to be built on that foundation.The authors give a practical example of encouraging critical thinking—you should make sure you do not shut them down when they ask a question. And you should encourage them to ask questions, so that they can ask more. In that case, they can understand how other people think.The book explains that there are four levels to each of the six Cs, which allow parents to assess how strong they are in each skill. “What we do with little kids today will matter in 20 years,” says Hirsh-Pasek.32. How will parents feel about raising happy and successful children?A. They feel confident.B. They feel puzzled.C. They feel guilty,D. They feel satisfied.33. What should parents do to raise successful children according to the passage?A. Train their children to be computers.B. Teach their children to spit back facts.C. Pay attention to their children’s success at school.D. Focus on their children’s social and relationship skills.34. Which of the following is basic but at the core of parenting?A. Critical thinking.B. Creative innovation.C. Collaboration.D. Confidence.35. What should parents do when encouraging children’s critical thinking?A. Let them ask more questions.B. Help them get along well with others.C. Teach them to use computers.D. Stop them when they ask questions.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
