21、“If you’re Italian and Swedish, and Daddy’s Italian and Polish,” my 7-year-old daughter asked, “does that mean I’m part Swedish, Polish and Italian?”

“Well, not exactly...” I tried to think on my feet. Clearly it was time to explain some complicated things.

My daughter arrived by using a donated egg (卵子). I carried her to term, but she carries all her genes from my husband and the donor. Any similarities we share are a result of nurture rather than nature. I often experienced a sense of shame, as if I had cheated nature. I also feared that my daughter would feel disconnected or pull away from me once she knew everything.

However, we didn’t want the information to come from anyone but us. I had referred to many related researches and results showing such families have better outcomes when parents tell kids about their special arrival early on, ideally by the time they’re 7 years old. On the day when she asked the question, I bought a book You Began as a Wish by Kim Bergman, which talks about all the different ways kids come.

After reading together, we talked a little longer about the different kinds of families we knew. I could see recognition in her warm brown eyes. “Could I be French? I love the Eiffel Tower and croissant (羊角面包)”, she asked expectantly. I thought back to the information of the donor application.” “Actually, I think you are a little bit French.”

“Yes!” She pumped her fist in the air.

I know this is only the very beginning of these conversations, and things may be more complicated for my family from now on. But we get to work through whatever complications’ arise together, without secrecy or shame.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “think on my feet” possibly mean?

A．Lie easily.

B．Respond carefully.

C．Treat it casually.

D．Run away quickly.

【2】What does the writer describe in the third paragraph?

A．Her misfortune.

B．Her plan.

C．Her upset.

D．Her regret.

【3】How did the writer possibly get prepared to solve the problem?

A．Discussing openly.

B．Reading widely.

C．Waiting patiently.

D．Thinking wisely.

【4】What kind of family does the writer have?

A．Open and trustful.

B．Happy and hardworking.

C．Rich and caring.

D．Brave and humorous.

22、Here’s how Father’s Day is celebrated in some countries around the world.

Australia

Its Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. It’s said that it chose September because the time when much of the world observes Father’s Day was already too full of holidays. The day is typically spent in showering Dad with cards and gifts in much the same way as we do in America.

Sweden

It celebrates Father’s Day on the second Sunday in November. Norway, its neighbor, does the same. This year their Father’s Day falls on Sunday, November 14. The tradition originally came from the American Father’s Day observance and was celebrated in June, but businesses advocated that the holiday be moved to November, a typically slow month for the economy. Because of this, Father’s Day gifts are so attractive and popular.

Germany

Its Father’s Day always falls on a Thursday in May. This year, it was celebrated on Thursday, May 13. It’s a national holiday, and in most areas of the country the following Friday is as well, so many celebrate with a 4-day weekend filled with outdoor Father’s Day activities.

Russia

Russia’s Father’s Day began as a celebration for soldiers, which then became a holiday specially for men. Over time, the celebration of men has evolved into the country’s modern Father’s Day. Because it has much to do with soldiers, the holiday is known as Defender of the Fatherland Day, and is celebrated annually on February 23rd with activities that many men participate in.

【1】Which country celebrates Father’s Day in a similar way to America?

A．Sweden.

24、What Are the Limits of Human Endurance?

Paragraph 1:______

When it comes to running, how far and how fast you can go is determined by a number of physical factors, including your VO2 max (the volume of oxygen you can pump round your body) and your lactate (乳酸盐) threshold, which is the point at which your body produces more lactate than it can break down (a build-up of this chemical makes you run less efficiently). Some of this is genetic, some of it comes from training. But in recent years, sports scientists have also come to recognise the importance of mental strength. The longer you run, the more important a well-thought-out mental strategy is. Common strategies for coping with pain include motivational self talk and distraction techniques to help block negative thoughts.

Paragraph 2:______

Thirty years ago, scientists calculated that the fastest possible marathon, in perfect conditions and with the perfect athlete, would be 1 hour 58 minutes. And we’re getting close. This September, Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge set a new world record of 2:01:39 at the Berlin Maraton—a race ideally suited to fast times because of its flat course, few corners, and typically good weather conditions. Sports physiologists think that the two-hour limit could be broken in the next few decades, as a bigger talent pool of runners, plus advances in training technology, create ever more ideal combinations of athlete and running conditions.

Paragraph 3: ______

Long-distance running stresses the body; recent research from the University of the Peloponnese in Greece found that post-race levels of inflammation(炎症) in the blood of ultra endurance runners (those who run races longer than a marathon)showed similar descriptions to people with cancer or cirrhosis. However, over the next few days, the runners’ levels returned to normal, suggesting that they have a remarkable ability to recover after an extreme workout. Good training is partly about helping you know when, for instance, you’ve crossed the line from ‘good pain’ into ‘bad pain’.

【1】Match each paragraph with one of the following questions, and then make the choice.

①Is endurance in the mind or in the muscles?

②Is endurance running bad for you?

③Will endurance running become a hit?

④Will anyone ever run a two-hour marathon?

A．Paragraph l:①; Paragraph2:②; Paragraph3:③

B．Paragraph 1:④; Paragraph 2:①; Paragraph3:②

C．Paragraph 1:④; Paragraph 2:②; Paragraph3:③

D．Paragraph 1:①; Paragraph2:④; Paragraph3:②

【2】According to the research, how can distraction techniques help long distance runners?

A．By raising their VO2 max.

B．By helping them concentrate.

C．By lowering their lactate threshold.

D．By preventing them feeling discouraged.

【3】What can be learned from the passage?

A．Good training can help you find out your limits.

B．The world marathon record is 1 hour 58 minutes.

C．Marathon training technology hasn’t changed a lot.

D．Long distance running causes lasting harm to our health.
