When Julie Weiss lost her father, Maurice, in 2010, just 35 days after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌), she was heartbroken. “Research for pancreatic cancer is so underfunded, and it made me feel helpless,” she says. “I knew I had to do something.”
So this marathon queen, as she calls herself, did what she knows how to do best: She went running. Having already completed 25 marathons during the previous two years, Julie now promised to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks in honor of her father. After asking people to donate money for each marathon, she set up a website, marathongoddess.com, to collect the donations for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN), a nonprofit organization.
Julie, 43, began her 52-marathon journey in Rome in March 2012. She focused on pacing herself, often clocking in an hour slower than her best time of 3:47, and decided not to stick to a strict training schedule. “It is a long process and I knew my body recovered quickly from marathon running,” she says, and, anyway, “nothing can prepare you for what you’re about to experience.” When her muscles began to ache, she kept her motivation in mind. “It was like I had angels with me to keep running no matter what,” she says. To stay focused, she’d think of her father. “He did everything big,” says Julie.
Julie finished her 1,362.4-mile journey covering two countries and 18 states in March 2013 at the L. A.Marathon, raising more than $200,000 in the process for PANCAN, which was quite unusual.
25. What does the underlined word “underfunded” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Poorly organized. B. Not having enough money.
C. Short handed. D. Highly praised.
26. Why didn’t Julie keep a strict training schedule?
A. Because of her father’s experience. B. Because of her previous history.
C. Because no one would help her. D. Because she knew herself well.
27. Which words can best describe Julie Weiss?
A. Devoted and extraordinary. B. Strict and shy.
C. Friendly but demanding. D. Helpful but weak.
28. What is the best title?
A. Benefits of Running B. A Marathon Queen
C. Running for a Reason D. Angels with Her
【答案】25. B 26. D 27. A 28. C
C
What things make you laugh? There are many things that make us burst into laughter. This natural show of emotion gives off signals that we are happy and we find something humorous. Scientists have been looking at why we do it and what the benefits are.
Laughter is a way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises — from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts — and each sound simply reflects the muscles in the chest squeezing out air from our ribcages (胸 腔) under very high pressure.
Most of the time our laughter is involuntary and contagious (传染性的), particularly between friends. Neuroscientist (神经学家), Sophie Scott, told the BBC that it’s a social emotion. It’s better to laugh with people we like. She defines two types of laughter — spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter — where we laugh together with friends. Research found, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation.
The BBC World Service programme Crowd Science examined the science of laughter. It wanted to know what caused this highly contagious repetitive action. It found we use laughter to show others that we’re being playful and non-threatening, and this serves to make and maintain social bonds. Also, people outside of our social group can understand the relationship between the laughters by the sound of our laughter.
While our health is no laughing matter, research has found a good loud laugh can help our body and mind —it can make us feel good and relax our bodies. It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. That’s why laughter therapy (治疗) is being used as an alternative to traditional treatments. But generally, our ability to laugh is out of our control. When you start doing it, just go with the flow and others will join in.
29. Wheezes, squeaks, gasps and snorts are mentioned to ________.
A. prove some people are humorous B. show laughter is interesting
C. prove laughter’s benefits D. show strange noises about laughter
30. What may Sophie Scott agree with?
A. Laughter is weakly contagious action. B. There are two types of laughter.
C. People laugh less with friends. D. People laugh seven times a day.
31. In which way is laughter good to us?
A. It helps relax our eyes. B. It cures people of serious illness.
C. It helps control pain. D. It worsens our immune system.
32. In which section can you read the passage on a website?
A. Health. B. Business. C. Opinion. D. Technology.
【答案】29. D 30. B 31. C 32. A
D
Believe it or not, the concept of a human washing machine isn’t new. At the 1970 Osaka Expo, Japanese electronics giant Sanyo Electric showed its “Ultrasonic Bath” (超声波浴缸), a human washing machine that cleaned, massaged, and dried the person in a fully-automated 15-minute cycle. The concept never really took off as a commercial product, but now another Japanese technology company wants to take a shot at it, promising to deliver a modern take on the human washing machine by 2025.
Science Co. Ltd., a company known for its many innovations in bath and kitchen technology, has announced its plans to create its own version of the human washing machine. Named “Project Usoyaro”, it uses the latest fine technology, as well as a variety of monitoring sensors (传感器) and an artificial intelligence system to produce a complex bath experience.
Science has stated that the goal of Project Usoyaro is not only to clean the body of the user, but also to provide a healing space where you can relax, listen to the sound of soothing music and enjoy the view of images displayed on a water-resistant display inside the machine. Sensors inside the washing machine will measure the state of nerves (神经), and the built-in AI will use the collected data to create the most comfortable atmosphere possible.
Project Usoyaro is surely a pet project of Science Co. Ltd. chairman Yasuaki Aoyama, who was only 10 years old when Sanyo’s original human washing machine appeared. He was so attracted by the invention that he decided to improve on it if he ever had the chance. Science expects that Project Usoyaro will result in a functional human washing machine by 2024, which the company hopes to showcase at the 2025 Osaka Expo.
33. What does the underlined phrase “take a shot at it” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Take a picture of it. B. Make a remark about it.
C. Give it a chance. D. Make a movie of it.
34. What is Science famous for?
A. Research on human body. B. Protection of their production.
C. Profits from their innovation. D. Creation in bath and kitchen technology.
35. What do we know about Project Usoyaro?
A. It offers people a complicated bath experience. B. It provide a space where people can talk to others.
C. It doesn’t use artificial intelligence system. D. It uses only one unique monitoring sensor.
36. What can be implied from the last paragraph?
A. Osaka Expo is going to be held in 2028.
B. Yasuaki Aoyama is a technology lover.
C. A functional human washing machine has been made.
D. Yasuaki Aoyama invented the human washing machine.
37. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To call on people to invent more machines. B. To describe the history of kitchen innovation.
C. To analyze the success of Science company. D. To inform people of bathroom innovation.
【答案】33. C 34. D 35. A 36. B 37. D

Professional kiters give a performance as well, which make kite fans definitely excited.
Hopefully, you will have the chance to be part of it in the future.
Yours,
