When I started running seven years ago. I could manage only about a quarter of a mile before I had to stop. Breathless and aching, I walked the next quarter of a mile, then I jogged the next quarter of a mile. Alternating these two activities for a couple of miles within a few weeks I could jog half way round Hampstead Heath without stopping. Soon I started to run up the quarter-mile stop to the top of Parliament Hill, although I had to stop at the top to get my breath back. I found that I could even manage to get up the hill comfortably.

I started to run because I felt desperately unfit. But the biggest

pay-off for me was and still is the deep relaxation that I achieve by taking exercise. It tires me out but I find that it does calm me down.

In those early days I saw few other runners. Now there are many more. Men and women of all ages have now taken up running. Some 25,000 runners aged five to 85 are attracted each year to the Sunday Tmes Fun run in Hyde Park.

In the last two years the London Marathon has become the biggest British sporting event --- overtaking the boat race and the Derby in the number of spectators it attracts. When I started to jog I never dreamt of running in marathon, but in 1982 I realized that if I trained for it, it was withim my reach, and after a slow, six-month build-up I managed the 26.2 miles in just under four. A creditable performance for a first -timer and a far cry from those days when I had to stop for breath after a quarter of a mile.

56. I started to run because I felt ________.

a. well

b. unsuitable

c. completely ill

d. comfortable

57. ______ has always been a popular sport in England.

a. Running

b. Swimming

c. Skiing

d. Jogging

58. I realized that if I trained for marathon, I would _________.

a. fail

b. succeed

c. die

d. becaused heart attacks

59. Which of these subjests are discussed in the article?

a. Advice on illness caused by too much exercise.

b. How the author trained himself for the London Marathon.

c. Evidence that running is the best way of avoiding diseases.

d. Advice on how to start running for exercis

e.

60. What’s the proper title for the passage?

a. Good British Sporting Event

b. Run Your Way to Health

c. Marathon

d. Health Benefits of Running

B

A hundred years ago nobody had ever thought of crushing (压碎)peanuts (花生)to make a food that could be spread on bread. When the first peanut butter was made in 1880, it was eaten from a spoon like medicine. In fact, it was given as a medicine to a sick man.

This unfortunate man lived in America. He could not eat food, because his stomach would not let him. He was becoming very weak and his doctor was afraid that he would die unless he could eat something.

At last the doctor thought that if some food could be made soft enough, the man might be able to eat it . He took some roasted (烘的)peanuts and asked a nurse to grind (磨碾磨)them up. The crushed peanuts truned into a thick, dry and soft paste. The doctor added some peanut oil to make it even softer. On tasting it, the man was pleased and enjoyed every spoonful. He called it peanut butter. Other doctors were not impressed by the medicine, and for a long time it was almost forgotten.

Some years later, workers in a factory were experimenting with peanut products. Someone remembered that a doctor had used a paste to cure a patient. The workers tried making a pasted that could be spread on bread. It was sold in food shops and gradually became popular.

For a long time peanut butter was only sold in America. Then other countries began making it. Today, about half the peanuts in Australia are made into peanut butter. Only a quarter are sold for eating whole.

61. The peanut butter was first made for ___________.

a. very sick doctor

c. sale in the market

d. a very sick man

a. by a sick man in America

63. Which of the following sentences is not true?

a. The peanut butter was made as soon as the man became well.

b. Over a hundred years ago a doctor made peanut butter to cure

his patient.

c. Peanut butter was soft enough for the sick man to be able to

eat.

d. Peanut butter was enjoyed by people because it could be spread

on bread.

64. Today ______ the peanuts in Australia are made into peanut butter.

a. all

b. half

c. a quarter of

d. most of

65. What is the best title for the passage?

Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.

They point out that at a circus (马戏团), for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.

Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example. Pigeons, which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from the others it touches a steel plate with its beak (鸟嘴). This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given to the pigeon as a reward. I takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3000 to 4000 balls an hour.

Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day gather crops and even drive trains.

66. Which of these words is the nearest in meaning to “a number of”

in the second sentence?

a. A great deal of.

b. A good many.

c. A large amount of.

d. The number of.

67. The trainer gives the animal a piece of candy or fruit ______.

a. when the animal is hungry

b. before the animal plays the trick (戏法)

c. because he can be seen on the TV

d. after the animal has done the trick

68. The word “reward” in the passage means _________.

a. honour given for doing something

b. attention paid to good conduct

c. money paid for doing something

d. something given in return for work

69. Many different animals may be trained to do a lot of simple jobs

if _________.

a. they know the trainer will beat them

b. they know people will sing high praise for them

c. they know they will get a reward

d. they know something dangerous will happen to them

70. Which of the following statements is not true?

a. Scientists consider apes may drive trains some day.

b. Apes have worked in some factories.

c. Apes have been used to gather crops.

d. An ape is a large monkey.
