Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
The final event in the Olympics is the marathon.It is also usually the most exciting.As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42－kilometre race，the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer.The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece.According to the story，a soldier ran from the scene of the battle，Marathon，to Athens，to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians.He died just after arriving.
The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896.At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens.In 1908，however，at the London Olympics，it was changed.The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London.The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers.In fact，the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地)．When the leader，an Italian，entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground.Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line，just as the second runner，an American，entered the stadium.The Americans protested(抗议)and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布)the winner.Since then，there have been many more exciting marathons.
In fact，you don't have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon，as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today.One of the most famous marathons is in New York，and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city's five boroughs(纽约市的行政区)，and past New York's famous landmarks.But perhaps one
金戈
of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的)marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon，which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.
The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest.But experts believe that most people—even people who are not particularly good at sport—can run a marathon，if they train for it.

A．run to his or her feet happily B．shout with excitement
C．carry him or her to the finishing line D．sing and dance
32．Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The name of the race comes from a battle in Greece.
B．The soldier who ran from Marathon to Athens won a gold medal. C．The Marathon events in the Games have the same length all the time. D．From 1908，the Marathon events are of the same length. 33．Who ran to the finishing line first in 1908? A．The American runner. B．The leading runner. C．The Greek winner. D．The Italian soldier.
34．What's the main idea of the passage? A．Marathon is the most important event. B．Marathon is the most popular event. C．Marathon is the hardest event.
D．Marathon is the final Olympic event.

When a child is told he is“uncool”，it can be very painful.He may say he doesn't care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful.If you say，“Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesn't matter！”，children know that it does matter.Instead，an active way may be best.You could say，“I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”
If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him.The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child.It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc.
There are things that parents can do at home，too.Be friendly when your child brings others home to play.Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider delicious.When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty－six days in a life－raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty－one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼)．“They started to hit the side of the boat，” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking.They jumped into the life－raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water.They also had a fishing－line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water—two things which saved their lives.They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的)．Then the line broke.“So we had no more fish until something very strange happened.Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface.I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them.After fifty days at sea their life－raft was beginning to break up.Then suddenly it was all over.A fishing boat saw them and picked them up.They couldn't stand up.So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica.Their two months at sea was over.
39．Bill and Simone were traveling ________ when they met some whales. A．in a life－raft B．in Miami C．in Simony D．in Panama

America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while－then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans, however，express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!
43．The writer of this passage must be ________． A．a Chinese B．an American C．a professor D．a student
44．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
金戈
B．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. 45．The underlined words“generous with our time”in paragraph 3 probably mean ________．
A．strict with time B．serious with time C．willing to spend time D．careful with time
46．A suitable title for this passage would probably be“________”． A．Friendships between Chinese B．Friendships between Americans
C．Americans'and Chinese people's views of friendships D．Americans' hospitality
