26、At 39 weeks pregnant most women would only be thinking of racing to hospital. But not Amber Miller，who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day.
As she neared the final stage of the race，she began to feel pain in the stomach. But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes.
Unbelievably the Chicago race was not even baby June’s first marathon—Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year，four months pregnant. She also ran another marathon when she was about four months pregnant with her son，Caleb.
Although there was extra weight，the seasoned runner’s time was just 3 hours off her personal best.
Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race，but she was not sure if it was labor(分娩)，because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant. After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the healthy 7 pounds,13 ounce baby.
Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the race. The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic welcome from crowds as she ran along. But the devoted runner，who had completed eight marathons，admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.
“I know what I can handle. This is something I’ve been doing for a long time，” the experienced marathon runner said.
June was born at 10∶29 p.m. on Sunday night after seven hours’ labor. “She’s absolutely perfect，” Miller said. “We are extremely happy，but very tired.”
After her surprising double achievement，Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a full-time mom.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Miller failed to finish the race due to her labor.
B．Miller’s husband was against her running the race.
C．Miller knew she was going to give birth at the end of the race.
D．It wasn’t Miller’s first time to run a marathon while pregnant.
【2】What is the name of Miller’s kid born right after the Chicago Marathon?
A．Caleb.
B．June.
C．Amber.
D．Wisconsin.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A．A Young American Couple Loving Marathons
B．How to Finish the Latest Chicago Marathon
C．How to Train a Pregnant Woman for Marathons
D．A Pregnant Woman Giving Birth After a Marathon
27、Do you get lots of reading assignments as part of your homework? You might wish that you could read faster.
【1】 But experts have dismissed this claim.
“【2】” said Elizabeth Schotter, a scientist at the University of South Florida, US. Schotter pointed out that people who claim that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books.
In fact, speed reading has been advertised since 1959, when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program. Several US presidents have even asked their staff to take speed reading courses. 【3】
Schotter explained that reading is a complicated task. It involves four stages: seeing a word, retrieving its meaning from your memory, relating it to other words in the same sentence, and then moving on to the next word. 【4】 It can’t be sped up.
Some people who claim to be able to speed read are simply skimming. Skimming involves reading a passage quickly and only looking for certain words or sentences. Skimmers can figure out the main idea of a passage—especially if it’s a topic they’re familiar with—but they will not be able to recall all of the details.
【5】 Research suggests that you should try to improve your vocabulary and simply read more.
A．Speed reading is not actually possible.
B．So is there a way to become a faster reader?
C．This is where speed reading comes into play.
D．This process uses many parts of the brain at one time.
E．However, there is no real science behind speed reading.
F．Some people claim that you can learn to read at super-high speeds.
28、How to Give Feedback that People Will Listen to
If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing. 【1】 Receiving feedback from peers can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this?
First, if you spot a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them. 【2】
When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. 【3】 Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It’s less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes “interesting” than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor. Feedback should also look toward the future. 【4】 Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.
【5】 If someone said that you were boring in your speech, would you know how to fix it? Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice.
Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego (自我) under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don’t take it personally—it can only help you give better advice next time!
A．It is also important to let others know their mistakes.
B．Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it’s likely to be ignored.
C．We also need to know what other people think about our performance.
D．This can help you be successful in your role and clear the way for future.
E．You can’t change what’s happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.
F．To make your feedback more useful, it should focus on the action, not the person.
G．Make sure you give an equal amount of positive feedback to balance out anything negative.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was thirty years ago, and I was twenty years old as a new teacher in an elementary school in Toronto, Canada. My class was made up of thirty-eight kids, one of them named Mike. Mike was a street kid. He never knew his parents and lived with an uncaring grandmother. His clothing was in need of repair. He was ten years old and looked in bad health. Like most new, young teachers, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a difference. I decided to reach out to help the kid in need.
So it was that early in September that my special “foster father(养父)” relationship with Mike began with the permission of his grandmother. I became the only parent figure he ever had. Each day, I’d take him for meals. I showed him how to repair clothes. I taught him a lot of new skills like using a computer, taking photos and knowing about nature. Mike would then help me teach the rest of the class these skills. We all had a lot of fun, and a kind of un-spoken trust began to build up between us. Surprisingly, he appeared eager to join in this new father-son relationship.
Early in our special relationship, Mike told me his dream. Most of the kids in the class wanted to be doctors, musicians, teachers or some such things, but not Mike. “I want to be a gangster(土匪), Mr. Kowalchuk!” he said. This was no joke—this was his wish, and he was most serious about it.
I believe all children have a gift. Everyone has the same chance to be the best person they can be. I realized this boy was smart, and that with a little love, attention, understanding, guidance and encouragement, he could probably achieve whatever he put his mind to. I explained to him that a good gangster had to read a large number of books on law in the law library and know criminal law(刑法) well like an excellent lawyer(律师). His young mind was eager and interested.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
If he wanted to be a “gangster”, I would do something to help him.
