三、阅读理解

A．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。（共 15 题，

每题 2 分，计 30 分）

A Running a marathon is not easy. It takes hard work, practice and patience. To run a marathon, you have to run 26.2 miles by foot! 26.2 miles is the same as running the length of a football field more than 460 times. It takes most people four of five hours to finish. Imagine running for over two hours without a break.

By the age of 30, Lea Tambellini had run more than five marathons. When she was 14 in high school, she swam on her school’s swimming team. Her

mom and dad ran marathons, and when she was 22, she began to train for marathon.

Lea’s first marathon took place in Ohio, which was called “The Flying Pig”. “I was very nervous,” she said,” but I had my mom there, so that helped.” Running the race was hard, but the hardest part was when she ran past a cookie factory and smelled cookies at mile 18. “I just wanted to stop .” She said, “but my mom kept me going. It was already her 15th marathon.”

The word “marathon” comes from a Greek legend (传奇). In the legend, a brave soldier ran all the way from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens, Greece to tell everyone the Greeks had won the battle against the Persians. It is said that he ran the entire way without stopping—a distance equal to a modern marathon.

Today, thousands of people run marathons every year. Runners train for months to get ready. To prepare for one marathon, Lea ran four to five times every week. On weekdays, she completed shorter runs, five or six miles at most. But on the weekends she ran long distances—13 miles, 15 miles and 20 miles!

“I don’t mind training because I get excited about working toward something. And I love running with a group of friends and working toward the goal together. But it does take a lot of time.”

Running a marathon is a great achievement. “It’s a great feeling of accomplishment and nothing feels as wonderful as reaching my goal when I cross the finish line.” Lea explained. “I can’t wait for the next one!” 31. What did Lea train for when she was 22? A. Marathon. B. Relay race. C. Swimming meet. D. Baseball season. 32. How did Lea feel when she ran her first marathon “The Flying Pig”? A. Bored. B. Nervous. C. Excited. D. Tired. 33 “But it does take a lot of time.” What does “it” refers to in this sentence? A. Training for a marathon. B. Running a marathon. C. Running with a group of friends. D. Working towards the goal. 34. Which statement is “Not True” according to the text?

A. There was a marathon in Ohio called “The Flying Pig”. B. The word “marathon” comes from a Greek legend. C. Runners train for months to get ready for a marathon.

D. Lea had run more than 15 marathons by the time she was 30 years old. 35. What is the main idea of this text?

A. Running a marathon is a great achievement.

B. It takes most people several hours to run a marathon. C. Running a marathon is hard work, but Lea enjoys it.

D. The hardest part of Lea’s first marathon was running past a cookie factory.

C It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautlius had surfaced. I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited. He thought there he could find chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”

“I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.

Cinseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.

We were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colors of the shells, fish. and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later we were a hundred meters under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.

At one hundred meters deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical. We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.

We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

A. A kind of ship under the sea. B. A kind of fish in the sea. C. A kind of plane in the sky. D. A kind of car on land.
