At the first Olympic marathon in 1896, athletes ran a shorter course than today’s 42.2-kilometer event.
Even so, only the winner finished within three hours. However, runners have improved, and one expert
学而知不足 为而致不惑 第 3 页 共 9 页
predicted last year that the two-hour mark would be broken in 2028.
On Oct 12, Eliud Kipchoge came in ahead of schedule – literally. The 34-year-old Olympic champion
from Kenya became the first person to run a marathon in less than two hours. Clocking in at 1:59:40,
Kipchoge pumped his chest and even sped up after crossing the finish line as he ran happily to his wife.
“No one is limited. This shows the positivity of sport,” Kipchoge told the BBC after the race in Vienna,
Austria. “Together when we run, we can make it a beautiful world.”
Apart from Kipchoge’s strong willpower and outstanding physical condition, a few tricks of science and
technology helped him reach this milestone in human athletic achievement.
Hills and turns slow runners down, so Kipchoge’s team picked the course in Vienna for its gentle curves
(弯曲度).
The city’s cool and dry weather was also important, said Wired. The magazine talked to exercise
physiologists, who think the weather helped keep Kipchoge’s body running more efficiently throughout
the race.
A special pair of shoes also played a big part. According to The New York Times, the shoes Kipchoge
wore were designed to give a significant edge (优势) to anyone wearing them in a race.
One other key to this breakthrough was Kipchoge’s pacing strategy. He ran with a dream team of pacers,
deployed by sports scientists. Five runners formed a V-shape ahead of Kipchoge, reducing drag (阻力),
and two runners followed directly behind to push him forward. Kipchoge stayed in the center of the
formation. The team rotated (轮换) members every five kilometers, and he stayed under a two-hour pace
for almost the entire length of the race. There was also a pace car driving 15 meters in front of everyone,
casting a laser (激光) line on the road to keep them on track.
“Few world records today are technology free,” noted The Telegraph. Hard work and dedication are still
the core (核心) of athletic achievement, but science and technology are helping modern athletes
maximize their potential.
24. Which of the following statements is true according to the first two paragraphs?
A. 42.2-kilometer marathon first started in 1896.
B. Eliud Kipchoge is predicted to break the record in 2028.
C. Eliud Kipchoge won the Olympic champion at 1:59:40.
D. Eliud Kipchoge from Kenya set a new marathon record in less than two hour.
25. What factor does not benefit Eliud Kipchoge in the challenge?
A. His strong willpower B. Physiologists’ talk
C. His extraordinary physical condition D. Special running shoes
26. What’s the closest explanation of the underlined word?
A. follow B. monitor C. arrange D. motivate
27. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Running into record books.
B. How to maximize one’s athletic potential.
C. Few world record today are technology free.
D. Eliud Kipchoge’s outstanding sports achievements. C
We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny
厚德 明理 博学 创新 第 4 页 共 9 页
and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style.
That's bad news for the environment and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more
energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the
Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product
throughout its life from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method
provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped
by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras
arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002,
before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room
television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every
room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per
household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices —we continue to use them.
According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes
are the worst devices with their energy, consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排
放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution (解决方案)? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also
explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more
than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more
on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy
consumption by 44%.
28. What does the author think of new devices?
A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old.
C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.
29. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?
A. To reduce the cost of minerals.
B. To test the life cycle of a product.
C. To update consumers on new technology.
D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
30. Which of the following uses the least energy?
A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.
C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.
31. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?
A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.
C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.
D
Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job
seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends
may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身)
nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover”
themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an
expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so
do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern
学而知不足 为而致不惑 第 5 页 共 9 页
is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about
whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their
employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our
customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might
disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred
employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is
unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
32. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph2?
A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves.
B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.
C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
33. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the text ?
A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter
35. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ______ .
A. enthusiastic B. negative C. positive D. sympathetic
第二节：七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should I
jump?" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of
the same coin. 36 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
37 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate
yourself, your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then
should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is
directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 38 So,
slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you
move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind
your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 39 They also need to be
measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can’t
become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 40 You should reassess your goals, and
motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot
overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of
厚德 明理 博学 创新 第 6 页 共 9 页
setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. However, this should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals?
E. They can change according to circumstances.
F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G. Without motivation you can neither set a goal nor reach it.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the
first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) recently 41 April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its
potential as a unifying ( 联 合 ) voice 42 cultures.
Despite the celebrations, 43 , in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to 44 and grow older,
and the music has failed to connect with 45 generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic 46 for jazz, Moran
hopes to 47 the audience for jazz, make the music more 48 , and preserve its history and
culture.

“What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to 50 and understand that
jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually 51 , and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the 52 with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost.
“The music can’t be 53 today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because
the way the world works is 54 ,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that 55 Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “just to kind of
put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music 56 it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me,
it’s the recontextualization ( 情 景 重 构 ). In music, where does the 57 lie? Are we, as humans,
gaining any 58 into how we talk about ourselves and 59 something as abstract as a Charlie
Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that
the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those 60 .”

I still remember a embarrassing experience last month. That day, I was overslept. I was running around
my apartment quickly because there was something scarier for me than be late for work. I called a taxi,
put on a dress, put all the necessary things into my bags, and closed it without even looking into it. Then
I took my wallet, and run out. It didn’t take much time get to work because I was hurrying the driver at

scared eyes of my cat looking at me. She seemed to be just as shocking as I was.
