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.
24. 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.
25. What is the name of Miller’s kid born right after the Chicago Marathon?
A. Caleb B. June C. Amber D. Wisconsin.
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. People have different attitudes to Miller’s action.
B. Miller will soon return for her favorite marathons.
C. The baby was in danger at birth because of the race.
D. Miller’s personal best in marathons was over 6 hours.
27. 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
C
Earlier last year, after legal pressure from A Better Balance, the National
Women’s Law Center, and Walmart Shareholders, Walmart announced a new
nationwide policy of providing reasonable accommodations for employees “with a
temporary disability caused by pregnancy”. A Walmart spokesperson stated clearly in
the press that the new policy covered all pregnant associates. But when a pregnant
woman called Riggins repeatedly asked Walmart for a reassignment for the sake of her
pregnancy-related health needs, she got nowhere. As a result, Riggins continued to use
strong chemicals to clean the bathrooms and twice ended up in the emergency room. By
May, Riggins started asking for a sick leave, because she didn’t feel she could risk her
health any longer. Shortly thereafter, she was fired.
The accommodation policy that Walmart announced in March appeared to be a
critical step forward; in announcing the policy, Walmart got rid of a previous
discriminatory( 歧 视 的 ) rule that had clearly stated that no pregnant workers were
qualified for reassignment, even as Walmart made reassignment available for workers
with non-pregnancy-related disabilities. But Riggins’s story and the stories of other
Walmart workers around the country indicate that, in fact, this new policy has fallen far
short.
Indeed, over the past six months, we have continued to hear again and again from
Walmart workers who asked for an accommodation while pregnant after the company
had announced its change in policy, and they got nowhere.
Apparently, ambiguity (不明确) at the heart of Walmart’s new policy continues to
harm pregnant workers. Under Walmart’s new policy, it is not clear whether Walmart
would allow a pregnant employee to carry a water bottle if she had a doctor’s note
indicating she needed it in order to stay hydrated and avoid potential pregnancy-related
complications. That’s because she might not be able to show she had a
pregnancy-related “disability”. Without this accommodation, this worker would be
forced to either harm her health or leave work, sacrificing her economy security.
Walmart should take this opportunity to strengthen and fully put its pregnancy
accommodation policy into effect to provide accommodation for all workers with
pregnancy-related medical needs, regardless of whether they are considered to have a
“disability”. A clear, properly implemented policy of providing accommodations for
pregnant workers who have a medical need for them isn’t just the right thing to pregnant
workers and their families, and it’s also the right thing to do for business and our
economy. It’s time for women to work without fear of being forced to choose between
hanging on to their jobs or risking their health.
28. What is the policy mentioned in Paragraph 1 supposed to do ?
A. Guarantee good services of Walmart
B. Guarantee increased sales of Walmart
C. Protect the rights of consumers of Walmart
D. Protect the rights of pregnant women employees
29. The story of the woman named Riggins is told to show .
A. Walmart works hard to protect its employees
B. Walmart doesn’t really carry out the new policy
C. women working at Walmart welcome the new policy
D. employees like using strong chemicals to clean bathrooms
30. It’s implied that after Walmart announced the policy, many of its
employees .
A. chose to become pregnant
B. acquired what they required
C. felt content to work hard for the company
D. felt encouraged to ask for an accommodation
31. By writing the passage, the writer wants to .
A. show his / her disappointment at Walmart
B. show the importance of female employees
C. call for completely carrying out the policy
D. call for the public’s attention to pregnant employees
D
California has been facing a drought for many years now, with certain areas even
having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem
is growing as the population of the state continues to expand. New research has found
deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous
drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping
practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted (抽取). The team at Stanford
investigated the aquifers(地下蓄水层)below this depth and found that reserves may
be triple what was previously thought.
It is profitable to drill to depth more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas extraction, but
only recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The
aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping
will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern of pumping out
water from this depth is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is
pumped out, the empty space left is cut down by the weight of the earth above.
Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than
desalinating(脱盐)the ocean water in the largely coastal state, but they are costly to
run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater,
and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water
shortage. One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level
of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some wells may even need to undergo
desalination after extraction, thus increasing the cost. Research from the exhaustive
study of groundwater from over 950 drilling logs has just been published. New
estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.
32. How could California's drought crisis be solved according to some researchers?
A. By building more reserves of groundwater.
B. By drawing water from the depths of the earth.
C. By developing more advanced drilling devices.
D. By upgrading its water distribution system.
33. What can be inferred about extracting water from deep aquifers?
A. It was considered unique to solve the water problem.
B. It may cost a large sum of money.
C. It may not provide quality freshwater.
D. It is bound to gain support from the local people.
34 What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?
A. The sinking of land surface.
B. The harm to the ecosystem.
C. The damage to aquifers.
D. The change of the climate.
35. What does the author say about deep wells?
A. They run without any need for repairs.
B. They are entirely free from pollutants.
C. They are the ultimate solution to droughts.
D. They provide a steady supply of freshwater.

You must have heard about Dolly and have been amazed by the first cloned
animal. But here came a problem: should we clone humans? When being asked about
this question, a large number of people which are interested in the topic hold the view
that it’s beneficial to clone humans. Therefore, some other people, me including, are
against this idea. Cloning humans can bring negative effects and wrong informations. In
the first place, they may not be treated equal as normal people, which I believe will
make him suffer a lot. In second place, human cloning may lead in some social disorder,
and it is quite dangerous.

Today a Grand Art and Cultural Show was held in our school with the aim of celebrating the
70th anniversary of our motherland and singing high praise of the great achievement we have
accomplished in the past seven decades.
In the course of the activity, the students in our school put on a variety of colorful
performances, such as singing, dancing and reciting poems, and all performers were well prepared,
making a deep impression on the audience.
From where I stand , this activity is extremely meaningful for the reason that not only does it
enable us to get rid of pressure from our study but also it inspires us to work hard and make great
contribution to our country. All in all ,it is a successfully-held activity.
