阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
It was a fine afternoon. As I was riding a bike home from my office as usual, I noticed a person cycling in front of me, about 300 metres away. I could tell he was a little 6 than me, so I decided to try to catch up with him. It was about one kilometre to go on the road 7 I had to turn off, so I started cycling faster and faster.
Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. In a few minutes, I was only about 100 metres behind him.
I got so 8 that I really picked up speed, trying my best to push myself. Maybe you have 9 I was cycling in an Olympic triathlon(三项全能运动）.
10 I made it. I passed him by and felt pretty good on the inside at that moment. I beat him, of course,but he didn't even know we were 11 . He was still cycling slowly along the street.
And after riding past him, I was 12 that I had missed my turn as a result of being so focused(专注的）on competing with him. I had gone almost six blocks further and had to 13 and go all the way back.
Isn't that what happens in life when we pay too much attention to 14 with co-workers, neighbours,friends or even strangers, trying to pass them and prove that we are more 15 We spend our time and energy chasing after them and at last we miss out on our own 16 . What’s even funnier is that we just put ona one-man show, for the people we see as our opponents(对手) may know 17 about it.
The 18 of such unhealthy competition is that it's a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you in one way or another, someone with a better job, a nicer car, more money in the bank, etc. So, don’t 19 yourself in the event of endless comparison.
Take what life has given to you: the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly. Stay focused and live a 20 life. There's no competition in destiny(命运）. Run your own race and wish others well!

Poems play with sounds, words, and grammar. That makes poems difficult to write but very interesting to read. They use colours, feelings, experiences, and images to paint a picture in your mind. Let's have a look at the following Chinese classical poem:
On the Stork Tower
By Wang Zhihuan
The sun along the mountain bows;
The Yellow River seawards flows.
You can enjoy a grander sight,
If you climb to a greater height.
-Translated by Xu Yuanchong
In Chinese classical poems, the form is very important: the correct number of lines and the number of words in each line. Poems often follow special models of rhythm(节奏) and rhyme. However, modern poets begin to reject traditional forms and structures(结构) for poems in the 20th century. As a result, most poems today are written in free style, with lines of different lengths.
Today many Chinese people are becoming more interested in reading poems, no matter in what language they are written. Translations can be good, but being able to read in the original(最初的) language is best.
24. What do the first two lines of the poem On the Stork Tower show
A. Character. B. Sights. C. History. D. Feelings.
25. What does the underlined word "reject" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Throw away. B. Carry on. C. Agree with. D. Take up.
26. What does the writer of the passage probably believe
A. It is much easier to write classical poems than modern poems.
B. People should develop the habit of painting pictures after reading poems.
C. Chinese classical poems should follow free style with lines of different lengths.
D. No matter how well a poem is translated, some of the spirit of the original work is lost.
(C)
How do we know the time A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of timekeeping(计时).
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows from one container to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it moves a lever(控制杆) and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. For example, springs(发条） were added around 1,500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1936 the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It's easy for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change.Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments.
27. Which of the following statements is true
A. The Egyptians used water clocks earlier than the sundial.
B. With a sun clock people were able to know midday and midnight clearly.
C.3,500 years ago, people used mechanical clocks instead of sundials on rainy days.
D. A sundial was not as big as a sun clock, but it could measure a longer time.
28. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage
A.Four. B. Five. C.Six. D. Seven.
29. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (①=Para. 1②=Para. 2...)
30. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The importance of time. B. The history of digital clocks.
C. The inventions of clocks. D. The development of timekeeping.

How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago when there were no videos or photos One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese civilization(文明）are known as oracle bone inscriptions(甲骨文）.
More than 3, 000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty(about 16th-11th
century. BC) liked to ask fortune tellers(占卜师) about the future. For example, what will the weather be like next week Where should I go to make money Will my wife give birth to a boy or a girl From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks(裂纹) in it to find an answer.
Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. "They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy(哲学) and thought,and figure out where our culture comes from, "Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily.
In addition to(除了) telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the development of Chinese characters(汉字). Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3000years ago."The oracle bone inscriptions,as the earliest-known mature(成熟的) form of Chinese characters,represent the beauty and uniqueness(唯一)of a language that has been passed down, "said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.
