    The annual marathon in my town usually took place in summer. My job was to   31    behind the runners in an ambulance   32     any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind nearly one hundred athletes    33    to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.

    “We’re supposed to stay behind the   34    runner, so take it slowly ,” I said to the driver , Doug , as we began to creep forward .

    “Let’s just hope all the runners are fast!” he laughed.

    As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to    35    . It was then that my   36   were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.

    “Doug, look!”

    We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, but her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk , let alone run a marathon .

    Doug and I watched in   37    as she slowly moved forward. We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more.

    Finally, she was the   38    runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with amazement and even respect as she    39        forward with strong determination through the last miles.

    When the    40    line came into sight, rubbishes lay everywhere and the cheering crowds had already gone home.    41   , a man waited proudly there. He was    42   one end of a ribbon (带子) tied to a post.   43   slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering behind her.

    I do not know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life –a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about    44    the other runners or winning a competition, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter    45   . When I think things are too difficult or too time-consuming, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

    阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第53至第57小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语，并将答案转写到答题卡上。
    注意：每空不超过3个单词。
    Thanksgiving Day
    Many people believe Thanksgiving is a Western holiday, but in fact, it is only an American holiday held every fourth Thursday of November although Canada holds their own unique Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October.
    The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. Some of the family will have to travel by air and others will make long motor trips with the children. Sons and daughters away at college use their four-day holiday to go home, and employees take extra days from their work so as to be able to make the trip for the annual reunion. The Thanks-giving dinner menu today is somewhat the same as it was on Thanksgiving Day in 1863. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts and grapes. There will be pudding (布丁), mince（肉末）pie, other varieties of food and squash（鲜果汁）. The rest and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
    In true Thanksgiving spirit the family circle is often enlarged to include friends known to be alone, foreign visitors, or servicemen away from home. Orphans, the aged and the homeless also have the traditional turkey dinner, provided either by some charitable (慈善的) individual or a church group.

    With Captain Cash’s help, we’ve put together the BIGGEST and BEST money-saving guide EVER - so what are you waiting for? Start saving NOW! The first step is to sign up to Captain Cash’s fantastic new website.

    ▲ Captain’s saving tip on car insurance

    MAKE sure you give an accurate figure for your annual mileage when you get a quote - if you overestimate, your premium（保费）will rise.

    ▲ Captain’s saving tip on home insurance

    Don’t overinsure your home - by sticking to the rebuild cost (the amount that really matters), you're covered if there’s a disaster. When in doubt seek independent advice.

    Plus, pay your insurance policy in one hit, if you can. Many insurance companies charge higher interest rates when you pay in monthly installments.

    ▲ Captain’s saving tip on entertainment

    BUY the latest CDs online from HMV via Captain Cash for great price deals. For instance, The Friends 15th Anniversary Complete Collection: 40 DVD box set is just £69.99 with free UK delivery - saving £30 on the RRP (Recommended Retail Price).

    ▲ Captain’s saving tip on utility bills

    DON’T be loyal to expensive suppliers - always check out the best deals. Getting gas and electricity from the same company and paying by direct debit instead of cash or cheque also lowers the annual cost of your bills. You can also shave money from bills by turning appliances off, rather than leaving them on standby, and by turning the heating down by a degree or two.

     

    1. What is Captain Cash?

       A. A bookstore       B. An online shop           C. An expert        D. A website

    2. What’s the RRP of 40 DVD box set of The Friend?

       A. £39.99            B. £99.99                   C. £59.99           D. £109.99

    3. Which of the following is NOT TRUE concerning Captain’s saving tips?

       A. Paying utility bills in cash is a more economical way.

    B. Paying the full price when buying a home insurance is a wise choice.

    C. Accurate estimate of your yearly mileage is key to a car insurance.

    D. Power off the electrical appliances while they are not being used.
