The 61-year-old potato farmer Cliff Young won the 1983 Westfield Sydney-Melbourne Ultramarathon, which took runners days to finish, in Australia.
When Cliff showed up in the race, he stuck out like a sore thumb in his everyday clothes different from the other professional runners’, quickly attracting the attention of reporters present.
“I grew up on a farm where we couldn’t afford horses. Whenever the storms would roll in, I’d have to go out and round up the sheep,” Cliff told reporters. “Sometimes I’d have to run those sheep for two or three days, but I’d always catch them. I believe I can run this race.” No one actually believed him. Most competitors were in their 20s and early 30s, with years of training and marathon experience.
On the first day of the race, Cliff was left far behind. But he had one advantage that no one had expected. He didn’t plan on stopping until he reached the finish line while all the others had been training to run for 18 hours a day and then stop and sleep for the other six.
When dawn broke, the other runners were shocked to learn that the old farmer was in the lead and that they would have to catch up with him. Although running slowly, he was the first to cross the finish line and received $10, 000 as a prize. But he kept none of the prize and donated it to the homeless.
Cliff continued to run. In 1997, he set out to raise funds for homeless kids by running all 16, 000 kilometers of the Australian coastline. In 2000, Cliff achieved a world age record in a six-day race in Victoria. Cliff Young died at 81, but his legend lives on.
4. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean
A. He had a special thumb. B. He suffered a hand injury.
C. He seemed nervous. D. He was very noticeable.
5. What was people’s attitude toward Cliff’s confidence
A. Disappointed. B. Respectful. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.
6. What did Cliff Young do with the race
A. He saved his energy at first. B. He received good training.
C. He sped up in the last two days. D. He continuously ran without sleep.
7. What keeps Cliff Young’s legend on
A. Imagination and generosity. B. Dream and devotion.
C Determination and kindness. D. Willingness and wisdom.
C
You might have heard the theory that a meteor (a huge rock from space) destroyed most life on Earth including many dinosaurs, 66 million years ago. However, scientists have come up with a reason why this caused so many species to go extinct.
Earlier, scientists had argued that the meteor strike caused wildfires, earthquakes and tsunamis, which destroyed habitats all over the planet and made it impossible for many creatures to survive. However, the new report suggests that more attention should be given to another effect of the meteor — the trillions of tons of dust that were sent flying into the air.
This dust would have gone around in dark clouds, blocking out (封锁) the Sun and causing temperatures around the world to drop sharply. Plants, which need sunlight to live and grow, would have died, leaving animals that eat plants without food. When they died, animals that eat other animals would have had no food either. This led to the extinction of 75% of species on Earth, including most dinosaurs — although the ones that survived later became birds.
The researchers tested their theory by running computer simulations (模拟) of the effect of the meteor strike. These simulations took into consideration real measurements of dust caused by the meteor effect, taken from a site in North Dakota, US. The simulations suggested that the dust could have stayed in the atmosphere for up to I5 years after being thrown into the sky.
Philippe Claeys, co-author of the new research, said that although the meteor strike was disastrous for the dinosaurs, it probably helped humans of the future. “Dinosaurs dominated (统治) the Earth and were doing just fine when the meteor hit,” he said. “Without the impact, my guess is that mammals (哺乳动物) — including us — had little chance to become the dominant creature on this planet.”
8. What probably made so many species extinct according to the new research
A. A huge burning rock in space. B. Earthquakes caused by the meteor strike.
C. A large population of creatures on the planet. D. Dust caused by the meteor strike.
9. What did researchers consider when testing their theory
A. Types of disasters. B. Measurements of dust.
C. Sites of meteor strikes. D. Lasting time of dust.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A Chance favors the prepared mind. B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. Where there is life, there is hope. D. Every disadvantage has its advantage.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. How Dust Destroyed Dinosaurs B. How the Meteor Struck the Earth
C. How Mammals Came into Being D. How Scientists Performed the Research

One sunny morning, the sun began to rise, casting a warm golden glow over the park. Two young men named Tom and Jerry, who was lost in their own books, found themselves siting on opposite ends of a bench. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant sound of children playing. Their eyes met for a brief moment before they both bent down to pick up their pens. It seemed as if they had known before. They quickly became friends and then began to spend many happy times together. They played basketball, watched movies, and spent many unforgettable days together. However, as time went on, their lives changed, and their friendship was put to the test.
A few years later, Tom became a successful lawyer, while Jerry chose a different path and became an artist. Despite different kinds of changes in their lifestyles, they still kept in touch and would gather together every once in a while to recall the good old days.
One day, Tom received a letter from Jerry. The letter said, “Dear Tom, I hope you can come and visit my art exhibition. I know you may not be interested in art, but I think you will like these works. They are all paintings I made during the days we spent together. I hope you can feel the friendship between us.”
After reading the letter, Tom immediately decided to attend Jerry’s art exhibition. He bought a bunch of flowers as a gift and arrived at the exhibition site. When he walked into the exhibition hall, he was shocked by what he saw. The walls were filled with Jerry’s works, each painting full of life and emotion. He saw scenes of them playing basketball in the park, watching movies together, and walking in the rain. These paintings made him feel the deep friendship between them.

You might have heard the theory that a meteor (a huge rock from space) destroyed most life on Earth, including many dinosaurs, 66 million years ago. However, scientists have come up with a reason why this caused so many species to go extinct.
Earlier, scientists had argued that the meteor strike caused wildfires, earthquakes and tsunamis, which destroyed habitats all over the planet and made it impossible for many creatures to survive. However, the new report suggests that more attention should be given to another effect of the meteor — the trillions of tons of dust that were sent flying into the air.
This dust would have gone around in dark clouds, blocking out (封锁) the Sun and causing temperatures around the world to drop sharply. Plants, which need sunlight to live and grow, would have died, leaving animals that eat plants without food. When they died, animals that eat other animals would have had no food either. This led to the extinction of 75% of species on Earth, including most dinosaurs — although the ones that survived later became birds.
The researchers tested their theory by running computer simulations (模拟) of the effect of the meteor strike. These simulations took into consideration real measurements of dust caused by the meteor effect, taken from a site in North Dakota, US. The simulations suggested that the dust could have stayed in the atmosphere for up to I5 years after being thrown into the sky.
Philippe Claeys, co-author of the new research, said that although the meteor strike was disastrous for the dinosaurs, it probably helped humans of the future. “Dinosaurs dominated (统治) the Earth and were doing just fine when the meteor hit,” he said. “Without the impact, my guess is that mammals (哺乳动物) — including us — had little chance to become the dominant creature on this planet.”
8. What probably made so many species extinct according to the new research
A. A huge burning rock in space. B. Earthquakes caused by the meteor strike.
C. A large population of creatures on the planet. D. Dust caused by the meteor strike.
9. What did researchers consider when testing their theory
A. Types of disasters. B. Measurements of dust.
C. Sites of meteor strikes. D. Lasting time of dust.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Chance favors the prepared mind. B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. Where there is life, there is hope. D. Every disadvantage has its advantage.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. How Dust Destroyed Dinosaurs B. How the Meteor Struck the Earth
C. How Mammals Came into Being D. How Scientists Performed the Research
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的科学理论，即陨石撞击地球后产生的尘埃如何导致许多物种灭绝，包括大多数的恐龙。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Earlier, scientists had argued that the meteor strike caused wildfires, earthquakes and tsunamis, which destroyed habitats all over the planet and made it impossible for many creatures to survive. However, the new report suggests that more attention should be given to another effect of the meteor—the trillions of tons of dust that were sent flying into the air.(早些时候，科学家们认为，流星撞击造成了野火、地震和海啸，摧毁了地球上的栖息地，使许多生物无法生存。然而，新的报告表明，应该更多地关注流星的另一个影响——数万亿吨的尘埃被喷到空气中)”第三段“This dust would have gone around in dark clouds, blocking out (封锁) the Sun and causing temperatures around the world to drop sharply. Plants, which need sunlight to live and grow, would have died, leaving animals that eat plants without food. When they died, animals that eat other animals would have had no food either. This led to the extinction of 75% of species on Earth, including most dinosaurs—although the ones that survived later became birds.(这些尘埃会像乌云一样四处飘散，封锁太阳，导致全球气温急剧下降。需要阳光生存和生长的植物会死亡，让以植物为食的动物没有食物。当它们死后，吃其他动物的动物也会没有食物。这导致地球上75%的物种灭绝，包括大多数恐龙——尽管幸存下来的后来变成了鸟类)”可知，陨石撞击地球后造成数万亿吨的尘埃被喷到空气中，这些尘埃导致了植物的死亡，从而导致了以植物为食的动物，以及以吃其他动物的动物灭绝。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“These simulations took into consideration real measurements of dust caused by the meteor effect, taken from a site in North Dakota, US. The simulations suggested that the dust could have stayed in the atmosphere for up to I5 years after being thrown into the sky. (这些模拟考虑了由流星效应引起的尘埃的真实测量，这些测量来自美国北达科他州的一个地点。模拟表明，这些尘埃在被抛向天空后可能在大气中停留了长达15年)”可知，研究人员在测试的时候考虑了由流星效应引起的尘埃的真实测量。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Philippe Claeys, co-author of the new research, said that although the meteor strike was disastrous for the dinosaurs, it probably helped humans of the future. “Dinosaurs dominated (统治) the Earth and were doing just fine when the meteor hit,” he said. “Without the impact, my guess is that mammals (哺乳动物) — including us—had little chance to become the dominant creature on this planet.”(这项新研究的合著者Philippe Claeys说，尽管流星撞击对恐龙来说是灾难性的，但它可能对未来的人类有所帮助。他说：“恐龙统治着地球，当流星撞击地球时，它们还好好的。如果没有这种影响，我猜哺乳动物——包括我们人类——几乎没有机会成为这个星球上的主宰。”)”可知，文章最后一段中提到，虽然陨石撞击对恐龙来说是灾难性的，但它可能帮助了未来的人类。这表明每个不利因素都有其有利之处，即每个劣势都有其优势。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“This dust would have gone around in dark clouds, blocking out (封锁) the Sun and causing temperatures around the world to drop sharply. Plants, which need sunlight to live and grow, would have died, leaving animals that eat plants without food. When they died, animals that eat other animals would have had no food either.

One sunny morning, the sun began to rise, casting a warm golden glow over the park. Two young men named Tom and Jerry, who was lost in their own books, found themselves siting on opposite ends of a bench. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant sound of children playing. Their eyes met for a brief moment before they both bent down to pick up their pens. It seemed as if they had known before. They quickly became friends and then began to spend many happy times together. They played basketball, watched movies, and spent many unforgettable days together. However, as time went on, their lives changed, and their friendship was put to the test.
A few years later, Tom became a successful lawyer, while Jerry chose a different path and became an artist. Despite different kinds of changes in their lifestyles, they still kept in touch and would gather together every once in a while to recall the good old days.
One day, Tom received a letter from Jerry. The letter said, “Dear Tom, I hope you can come and visit my art exhibition. I know you may not be interested in art, but I think you will like these works. They are all paintings I made during the days we spent together. I hope you can feel the friendship between us.”
After reading the letter, Tom immediately decided to attend Jerry’s art exhibition. He bought a bunch of flowers as a gift and arrived at the exhibition site. When he walked into the exhibition hall, he was shocked by what he saw. The walls were filled with Jerry’s works, each painting full of life and emotion. He saw scenes of them playing basketball in the park, watching movies together, and walking in the rain. These paintings made him feel the deep friendship between them.

Jerry looked up and saw Tom, his eyes widened with surprise and delight. Tom walked up to Jerry and handed him the flowers, saying, "Congratulations, Jerry. Your works are amazing." Jerry thanked him and hugged him tightly. They stood there for a moment, enjoying the warmth of their friendship. Before leaving, Tom promised Jerry that he would always be there for him, no matter what. Jerry smiled and thanked him once again, knowing that their friendship would always be a source of strength and inspiration for both of them.
