1．Marathon is the supreme discipline of long-distance running.They are not only attractive for top athletes，but also for hobby runners.The choice of events is almost endless.Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you'll be tempted（誘惑） to run holding a camera.
Ultra-trail Angkor，Cambodia
The newest of a series of Angkor marathons，this endurance test offers 32-km，64-km and 128-km routes around the famous temples，including Bayon and Angkor Wat.Watch out for monkeys，and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.
Dodo Trail，Mauritius
Crossing rugged coastline and tropical forests，the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife，although the famous dodo bird remains，sadly，extinct.While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828 m-high Black River Peak，a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail （10 km） is easier.
Great Ocean Road marathon，Australia
Another well-known scenic coastal drive，southern Australia's Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May.Neck-ache could be a problem：in one direction lies the scenic South Sea，and in another handsome forest and，if you're lucky，a koala or two.Be warned，however，that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest marathons.
Big Five marathon，South Africa
Marathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June.The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members-African elephants，Cape buffalo，lions，leopards and rhinos-as organizers try to guarantee sightings.

A．Ultra-trail Angkor.
B．Great Ocean Road marathon.

D．Big Five marathon.
（2）Why does the writer mention "neck-ache" in Great Ocean Road marathon？

2．Like many constructions，it started small.But now thousands of children with autism（自閉癥）are making friends and learning social skills by playing a special version of online building game Minecraft.
Stuart Duncan got the idea through a popular blog he ran about his own experiences with autism as well as bringing up a son with autism.Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazy about a game that let them explore a randomly generated wilderness.However，despite loving the game，many of the children were being bullied by other players.
So，in 2013，Duncan，a web developer in Canada，set up a server to run a version of Minecraft only for children with autism and their families.He thought the invite-only server would attract 10 or 20 people，but hundreds requested to join in the first few days.Now，almost three years later，running the special version，Autcraft，is his full-time job.The community has nearly 7，000 members，along with a team of engineers to help manage its many activities. "Parents see such a benefit for themselves and their children，" says Duncan.
In Minecraft，you use blocks of materials like wood and stone to build whatever you like. "This is a great way for them to play a game they love，but also have a social experience，" says Kate Ringland from the University of California，who has spent 60 hours inside this virtual world，watching how the kids play and chat to one another. "It's giving an alternative way for these kids to express themselves and communicate without the stresses of the physical life stuff."
Everyday social situations can be challenging for autistic children，who may struggle to pick up on social signals or understand another person's viewpoint.Duncan thinks Minecraft removes the pressures typical of the real world.There is no noisy or unfamiliar environment to distract you，no pressure to track the other person's facial expressions or worry about eye contact.Joining a community like Autcraft could be a good first step to feeling less socially anxious and more engaged.
（1）What inspired Duncan to run Autcraft？
A．Online Bullying.
B．His son's request.
C．Some parents' advice.
D．His blog about autism.
（2）What can we learn about Autcraft from Paragraph 3？
A．It has about 7，000 engineers.
B．It was an unexpected success.
C．It helped parents play with their kids.
D．It remains accessible to all the people.
（3）How does Minecraft help children according to Duncan？
A．By teaching communication skills.
B．By solving their real world problems.
C．By explaining other people's viewpoints.
D．By offering stress-free social experiences.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．How Can We Deal With Autism？
B．What Makes Minecraft So Famous？
C．Why Do Online Games Benefit Children？
D．How Does Autcraft Help Autistic Children？組卷：18引用：6難度：0.5 -
3．It is something one half of the population has long suspected and the other half always vocally denied– women really do talk more than men.In fact，women talk almost three times as much as men，with the average woman chalking up 20，000 words in a day – 13，000 more than the average man.
Women also speak more quickly，devote more brainpower to chit-chat，and actually enjoy hearing their own voices，a new book suggests.The book – written by a female psychiatrist，Dr.Luan Brizendine – says that inherent （生來就有的） differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative than men.
In The Female Mind，Brizendine says the differences can be traced back to the womb （子宮），where the sex hormone （激素） called testosterone moulds the developing male brain.The areas responsible for communication，emotion and memory are all reduced before a baby boy is born.
The result is that boys – and men – chat less than their female peers and struggle to express their emotions to the same extent. "Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion，while men have a small country road，" said Brizendine.
There are，however，advantages of being the strong，silent type.Brizendine explains in her book that testosterone also reduces the size of the section of the brain involved in hearing – allowing men to become "deaf" to the most logical arguments put forward by their wives and girlfriends.
Other scientists，however，say many of the differences between the male and female personality can be explained by social conditioning，with a child's upbringing greatly influencing their character.
Deborah Cameron，an Oxford University linguistics professor with a special interest in language and gender，said the amount we talk is influenced by who we are with and what we are doing. "If you look through a large number of studies you will find there is little difference between the amount men and women talk，" she added.
（1）Which claim does the book The Female Mind probably support？
A．Women enjoy arguing.
B．Women are born talkative.
C．Women are great public speakers.
D．Women take pride in their talents.
（2）Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word "moulds" in Paragraph 3？
A．Influences.
B．Stimulates.
C．Enlarges.
D．Harms.
（3）How are men affected by testosterone according to Dr.Brizendine？
A．They have a small size of brain.
B．They are not so logical in talking.
C．They are usually less communicative.
D．They are unwilling to listen to females.
（4）What message does Cameron carry in the last paragraph？
A．Further studies need to be carried out.
B．Gender seldom affects one's talking style.
C．The amount we talk shapes our character.
D．Men talk as much as women on the whole.組卷：14引用：3難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Mai Lin wasn't doing well enough at school，or at least she wasn't satisfied with herself.She wished she could do better.
"Let's review the material we learned in the last unit，" the history teacher said. "Who can tell us what caused the War of 1812？" Mai Lin sat at her desk，staring ahead.She hoped the teacher wouldn't call her name.They hadn't studied the War of 1812 at her old school and she didn't know the answer.
"Alison？" the teacher asked instead.Oh，perfect，Mai Lin thought.Of course Alison would have the answer.She seemed to have all the answers.Alison was the most popular girl in school – always surrounded by millions of boyfriends，best friends，and others.She was like a brilliant sun.
Mai Lin hadn't made one or two friends of her own so far.Her old school was small and low-key，but a shy person like Mai Lin had a chance there.This new school，however，seemed as big as an airport to Mai Lin，and it seemed very hard to get around in it.She still got lost sometimes in the school.
Mai Lin frowned （皺眉） as Alison answered the teacher's question.Alison probably never got lost，Mai Lin thought to herself.You could probably put Alison down in the middle of a desert，and within five minutes she'd be able to tell you the best way to get home.
History class finally ended，and Mai Lin headed for the gym.The class had been playing basketball.Alison，who was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree，was very good at it.Beside her，Mai Lin felt like a very small and foolish ant.Today，however，the gym teacher pointed to a thick rope hanging from the ceiling and said， "Everybody!You're going to climb this rope today."
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Hearing the teacher's words，Mai Lin smiled.
_____________
Mai Lin stepped forward and got close to the rope.
