解析:

帶著受傷的腳參加3000米跑步比賽,這注定沒法取勝?墒侵灰阌掠趨①悾瑘猿值降,你也會有所收獲。

1、邏輯推理常識運用詞義比較  又是地區(qū)運動會了,可作者的腳由于上一次的(earlier)受傷仍然還沒有痊愈。注意本句中的過去完成時態(tài)及其still的意義有著明顯的提示意義。slighter更輕微的;worse更遭的;earlier早的,上一次的;heavier更沉重的,巨大的。

2、邏輯推理詞義比較  所以,作者不是認為(supposed),設(shè)想(imagined),希望(expected)參加運動會,而是懷疑(doubted)自己是否應(yīng)該參加運動會。

3、邏輯推理詞義比較  但是,我到了比賽場地,沒有遲到(late),但并非熱切(eager),渴望(thirsty)地準(zhǔn)備(ready)參加3000米跑步。

4、前后照應(yīng)詞義比較  其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from behind),靠近(close to,next to)作者,而是沖到了作者的前面(ahead of)。后文as I fell farther and farther behind有所暗示。

5、邏輯推理詞義比較  作者越來越落后,作者不會感到驚訝(astonished),也激動(excited)不起來,而是感到慚愧(ashamed),當(dāng)然不至于害怕(frightened)。

6、詞義辨析邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)  這是作者在運動會上聽到的最大聲的歡呼聲(cheer)。前面“Hooray!” 指歡呼的叫聲也有所暗示,后文I heard a cheer—louder than the one I’d heard earlier和They must be cheering for the boys也都有明顯提示。cheer愉快, 歡呼(之聲);shout一般指由于情緒過度而發(fā)出的大聲的呼喊、高叫;cry一般指由于情緒激動而發(fā)出的哭泣聲;noise通常指超過一般承受力的喧鬧聲、噪聲。

7、邏輯推理詞義比較  第一名已經(jīng)先我兩圈到達了終點。作者心想可能自己不該參加比賽,應(yīng)該放棄(drop out)才對。slow down (使)慢下來, (使)減速;drop out不參與, 離去, 放棄;go on 繼續(xù)下去;speed up加速。

8、詞義比較邏輯推理語句連貫  然而我還是決定堅持跑下去。注意前后句子之間的轉(zhuǎn)折意義。therefore因此, 所以,表示因果關(guān)系;otherwise另外, 否則,表示其它情況的出現(xiàn);besides此外,還,表示附加意義;however然而,可是,表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

9、前后照應(yīng)邏輯推理  跑最后兩個圈時,作者無法輕松(with delight)起來,也沒有害怕恐懼(with fear),當(dāng)然也無法叫其他人提前(in advance)到達,而是在腳疼(in pain)的狀態(tài)中跑著步。前文My foot still hadn’t healed from an earlier injury.已經(jīng)有所提示。

10、邏輯推理詞義比較       作者在想這一次已經(jīng)沒有辦法了,明年就不參加徑賽跑步了。arrive到達, 抵達;play玩,進行比賽;attend出席, 參加;race賽跑,疾走。race相當(dāng)于短文中多次出現(xiàn)的run,再考慮到空后的具體意義的in track,故選擇具體意義的race,而不選擇籠統(tǒng)意義的play和attend。

11、語句連貫詞義比較       作者想,即便是腳好了,這樣跑也不值得。even if即便,即使,表示讓步關(guān)系;only if只要,只有,表示條件關(guān)系;unless如果不, 除非,表示假使條件關(guān)系;until到……為止,直到……才,表示時間關(guān)系。

12、詞義比較前后照應(yīng)       歡呼聲不是更弱(weaker),更低(lower),而是更大(louder)。longer缺少比較的對象或前提。

13、詞義比較邏輯推理       作者轉(zhuǎn)身看到男孩子正準(zhǔn)備開始比賽,她毫不吃驚(surprisingly)地,毫不奇怪(strangely)地,充分地(well)確信(sure)大家是為男孩子歡呼。

14、詞匯用法句法結(jié)構(gòu)       作者正準(zhǔn)備離開,這時幾個女孩子走上前來。when 在此句中作并列連詞,意思是“正在這時,就在那個時候,突然”。while作從屬連詞,表示“當(dāng)……時候”,通常強調(diào)兩個動作或情況的同時發(fā)生;as作從屬連詞,表示“當(dāng)……時候”,通常強調(diào)一個動作或情況伴隨另一動作或情況;since作從屬連詞,表示“自……以后, 自……以來”。

15、邏輯推理詞義比較       作者對女孩的贊揚不解,因為她剛剛跑過(pass)了終點,結(jié)束(finish)了比賽,但跑在最后沒有獲勝(win),而是輸(lose)了比賽。

16、邏輯推理詞義比較       女孩子們的鼓勵使作者又找回了失去的信心(hope),而不是歡樂(cheer),興趣(interest),經(jīng)驗(experience)。

17、邏輯推理詞義比較       作者決定明年還要 (stick with)參加徑賽比賽。hold on把持住,繼續(xù), 不掛斷, 停止;turn to轉(zhuǎn)向,求助于, 致力于, 開始行動;begin with首先,用……開頭;stick with與……固定在一起,堅持做(某事)。

18、邏輯推理詞義比較       作者意識到在獎牌和勝利中,力量和勇氣并非總是可以估量(measure)的。measure估量,斟酌, 權(quán)衡;praise贊揚,稱贊;test測試,檢驗;increase增加,增大。

19、邏輯推理詞義比較       但是在我們戰(zhàn)勝了的競爭中,力量和勇氣就卻總是可以估量出來。sadness悲哀, 悲傷;struggles掙扎, 努力, 奮斗;diseases疾病, 弊病;tiredness疲勞, 疲倦。

20、語句連貫詞義比較       最堅強的人并非總是贏得勝利的人,而是(but)那些遇到失敗挫折時決不放棄的人。or或者, 還是,表示或然關(guān)系;nor也不,表示否定關(guān)系;and表示并列關(guān)系;but表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to mine. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.
We often met in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I got was a hello from the four-year-old girl.
One afternoon when I returned, they were just coming out of their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. But when I looked up I saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me. I hurried as much as I could and thanked her.
I was really touched by her act of kindness. That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I bought a white Teddy bear for her. The next day, there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was very proud of the bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before.
Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner. As time passes, I don’t hear that yelling as often as before.
Last night we had about four inches of snow. I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor’s appointment. I went out to remove the snow. But when I opened my front door, I found my car was there with all the snow removed. You couldn’t imagine how I felt at that moment. I thanked that family in my heart.
Isn’t it amazing how a small kind act of a four-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? My guardian angel says that good things come from small acts.

He was 11 years old and often went fishing. On the day before bass (鱸魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish. Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
Lighting a match, the father looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy, saying, “You’ll have to put it back, Son.”
Looking around, he saw no other fisherman or boats. Even so, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect (建筑師) in New York. He often takes his son to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish… again and again… every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. As his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

Once in a village, the villagers built a new church building and people came from far and wide to see it. They admired its beauty! They said it was the most beautiful building in the world. Up on the roof, a little nail(釘子)heard the people praising everything about the lovely structure – except the nail! No one even knew he was there, and he became very angry and sad.
“If I am not important, nobody will miss me if I quit!” So the nail then released (松開) its hold, got down from the roof, and fell into the mud.
That night it rained and rained. Soon, the board that had no nail was blown away, and the roof began to leak (漏水). The water flowed down along the walls and over the beautiful pictures on the walls. The plaster (石膏) began to fall, the floor was ruined, and the Bible was also ruined by water. All this was because a little nail decided to quit!
But what of the nail? While holding the board, it was not known by others but it was useful. Buried in the mud now, it was useless and would soon be eaten up by rust!
What the story wants to say is that every member is important to a whole group!
You may, like the nail, feel not important at times, but just like the nail, your absence is felt. A big building might fall to pieces. You are important to a group even if you are small.
【小題1】Why did the nail decide to quit?

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a special position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest (含糊的) of insight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognized accurately hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer productions the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture; cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the built up knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relationship with plants in the wild would begin fade away.
1. Which of the following statements about early humans is expressed in the passage?
A. They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.    
B. They thought there was no need to cultivate crops.     
C. They did not enjoy the study of botany.      
D. They placed great importance on the ownership of property.
2. What does the comment “This is logical.” In the first paragraph mean?
A. There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestor’s knowledge of plants.           
B. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.
C. It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in pre-industrial societies.       
D. Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.
3. According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany begun to fade?
A. People no longer value plants as a useful resource.       
B. Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.
C. Research is unable to keep up with the increasing numbers of plants.
D. Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.
4. In the second paragraph, what is the author’s purpose in mentioning “ a rose, an apple, or an orchid”?
A. To make the passage more poetic.
B. To give an example of plant that are attractive.
C. To give botanical examples that all readers will recognize.
D. To explain the variety of botanical life.
5. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?
A. The invention of agricultural tools and machinery.       
B. The development of a system of names for plants.
C. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.         
D. The changing diets of early humans.
