21、   On the morning of 19 April 1966, a hooded figure was hiding in the bushes near the start line of the Boston Marathon. When the gun went off to start the race, the mysterious person allowed the faster competitors to pass before joining the main group of runners. It wasn’t long before the others noticed that their new companion was a woman.

The infiltrator(渗入者) was 23-year-old graduate Roberta ’Bobbi’ Gibb, an experienced runner who had had her application to run denied on the grounds that the Boston Marathon was a Men’s Division race only. Her rejection letter categorically stated: Women aren’t allowed and furthermore are not physiologically able. Having run up to 30 miles a day nearly every day for the two years leading up to the race, Gibb knew that this was not true. She decided it was time attitudes towards women changed, and bought a bus ticket to Boston.

Contrary to her father’s fears that she would get hurt in the race, Gibb’s male counterparts showed her nothing but kindness. Once reporters got wind of her participation, the radio began broadcasting news of her progress. Encouraged by adrenalin and the delighted spectators, Gibb was heading for an under three-hour time for the best part of the course, but then she began running out of steam. Starved of food and water, her legs began to falter, and her feet became almost too painful to run on. If she hadn’t known that dropping out would have set women’s running back 20 or 30 years, she may not have completed the course. However, the cheering crowds on the last leg of the course succeeded in lifting her spirits, and she sprinted to the finish in a very respectable time of just under three hours and 22 minutes.

On finishing the race, Gibb was treated as a hero: she was met by the governor of Massachusetts, her parents were interviewed, newspapers ran articles on her and she was invited to a TV game show. More importantly for her, she had broken the stereotype that women didn’t run marathons. She began getting calls from inspired women who had taken up running themselves, and in 1967 a second female runner competed in the Boston Marathon alongside Gibb. The following year there were five female entrants, and by 1972, the rules had been changed to allow women to compete in all US marathons. However, by then, if you had asked anyone who was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, they would have given you a completely different name: Kathy Switzer.

Twenty-year-old journalist Kathrine Switzer shot to fame after competing against Gibb in the 1967 Boston Marathon. On discovering Switzer had entered the race by pretending to be a man, race director Jock Semple tried to physically remove her, and it was this image of Switzer being attacked while running that stuck in people’s minds. Switzer continued running, finishing second in the 1975 Boston Marathon. Moreover, she became a successful media personality. It took Gibb decade of writing letters to magazines, TV stations and book publishers to set the record straight. But in the end, she succeeded in gaining her due recognition and was retroactively awarded first-place medals for her 1966, 1967 and 1968 races.

【1】The woman is hiding in the bushes __________.

A.to cheer on the best participants

B.so as not to be seen at the starting line.

C.in order to watch the race unfold

D.so that she has a better view of the field

【2】What ultimately drove Gibb to finish the race?

A.She didn’t want her plan to backfire(发生意外).

B.She wanted her parents to be proud of her.

C.She wasn’t willing to disappoint the crowd.

D.She couldn’t take the shame of failure.

【3】What does the writer mean when he describes Gibb’s running time as ’respectable’?

A.He thinks she could have done better.

B.He considers it a standard to aim at.

C.He regards it as a good time.

D.He can’t believe she ran so well.

【4】What does the reader discover about Gibb in the fourth paragraph?

A.Her reputation grew as the years went by.

B.She was corrupted by fame.

C.She became a household name.

D.Her glory was short-lived

22、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block．No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat．As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become．

When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine．Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases（障碍赛跑）they have become today．My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek．

The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly．It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday．Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else．

Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association．In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday．But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch．If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era．

I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships．Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants（残余部分）of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries（反复无常的情况）and a challenging environment．

【1】The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when＿＿．

A．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away

B．everyone seemed to be free for others

C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house

D．nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school

【2】In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____．

A．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday

B．such answers are rarely heard in our modern society

C．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday

D．visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past

【3】From the last paragraph we may infer that_____．

A．people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment

B．people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life

C．land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense

D．people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial．

B．We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives．

C．Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest．

D．We should abandon some old tradition．

23、Quantum Communication (量子通信) — Cutting-edge Technology

What is quantum communication? The scientific world defines it as a "method of communication using quantum effects on communications cycles." 【1】 This technology has grown originally from encrypted messaging, and is virtually unbreakable.

You might ask: How are messages sent by quantum encryption safer? It is because particles of light cannot be divided. An eavesdropper cannot divide a particle of light into two parts, nor can a message in a particle of light be read by a third party or transmitted elsewhere. 【2】 So quantum physics can protect such secret codes, as they can neither be intercepted nor cracked.

Now you can appreciate the unlimited power of quantum communication.【3】 And it has achieved results attracting world attention. Among these achievements is the immortal work of Pan Jianwei, Chinas youngest academician.

The fruit of Academician Pans scientific research into quantum communication was chosen as one of "Ten Worldwide Science and Technology Advances" in 1997.  【4】

On Aug.16, 2016, China launched a quantum communication satellite it had developed and built itself, making China one of the quantum-communication-producing countries. There are many applications for quantum communication—military, defense, data encryption, telecommunications, insurance, securities, industry and finance. 【5】 Quantum communication is a powerful promoter of the continuous advance of science and technology worldwide.

A.They all need this kind of advanced technology.

B.Such message may be detected, but it cannot be understood.

C.Simply put, it is a method of encrypted communication.

D.Is it so miraculous? If you don’t believe it, let us tell you a story.

E.China has poured a huge amount of effort into research in this field

F.His research put China in the leading place in the world in quantum communication.

G.Many Chinese scientists have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to making great contributions.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.

“Two heads are better than one.” That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense atmosphere in which it's good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate (拖延) when they are studying by themselves: however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.

Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small-four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lecture notes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.

In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says “I read somewhere that...,” the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.
