當(dāng)前位置： 2022-2023學(xué)年天津市寧河區(qū)蘆臺(tái)一中高二（上）第一次診斷英語(yǔ)試卷> 試題詳情

If you are in the market looking for a new bike，maybe you would like to consider this bicycle.The brainchild of Israeli inventor Izhar Gafni，the fully functional bike that costs just ﹩10 to make，is made entirely of cardboard （硬紙板）.
   Mr.Gafni came up with the idea after he heard about a working canoe that had been made of cardboard.However，when he suggested the idea to engineers，they all told him that it was impossible.Not ready to accept failure，Mr.Gafni decided to try to build one himself.However，the task turned out to be harder than he had thought.Considering that the cardboard is normally used to make just boxes，there was not much idea on how to even get started.
   While being able to get the design right，his biggest difficulty was to create a bike strong enough to carry a rider of almost any size and weight.After experimenting with several choices he found out that by using the Japanese principals of origami （折紙） he could increase the weight the cardboard can bear.Therefore，he made the bike strong enough to carry a real rider.He then had to figure out a coating that would protect the bike in all kinds of weather conditions.While getting it right took a few models，the final result is a new bike coated with a finish （拋光） that gives it the look and feel of lightweight plastic.It can carry as much as 485 pounds.
   Mr.Gafni is now working with some businessmen to get his cardboard creation into stores by late 2018.Considering that it costs only ﹩10 to make the entire bike，he believes that the finished product could be sold for at least ﹩80- ﹩90，which makes it the coolest，cheapest，most eco-friendly bike in the world!

2．Sidney Keys，14-year-old，has started a youth-led book club program，with the support and help of his mom，to help empower both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature.
   Keys' idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles. "I used to have a really bad stutter and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it，" Sidney Keys，the founder of the book club Books N Bros said. "Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine things and play out all the events clearly."

   "I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me，but now I see a comic book with me in it，" Keys said delightedly. "It's really awesome，especially when I hear my friends and teachers call me my superhero name at school."
   As for the future of Books N Bros，Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country. "Getting Books N Bros in schools across America，we don't want transportation to be an issue for getting that physical brotherhood and bond.It just benefits so many people，and it keeps me going，" Keys explained.

3．My First Marathon（馬拉松） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
   I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
   The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
   The night before my marathon，I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
   Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋帶）became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
   At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!"
   By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
   By mile 21，I was starving!
   As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
   I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
   Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標(biāo)簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

（1）A month before the marathon，the author

.
A．was well trained
B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run
D．lost hope
（2）Why did the author mention the P.E.class in his 7th year？

A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
（3）How was the author's first marathon？

A．He made it.
B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize.
D．He walked to the end.
（4）What does the story mainly tell us？

A．A man owes his success to his family support.
B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.
