A marathon is a long running race of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometres). The first Olympic Marathon
was held in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the best-known
marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo
Marathon. Among them, the Boston Marathon which started in 1897, is the oldest yearly marathon
in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.
Themes of marathons add fun and meaning to the hard miles. Runners run for helping sick kids,
celebrating important events, or just enjoying nature. There is a famous marathon in Gisborne,
New Zealand, which is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every
day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they race along the golden sandy beaches.
Marathon routes bring people more understanding of the old sport. Some routes provide great
sporting challenges for runners. The routes offer various surfaces, from bridges to sand to hills.
Runners of all skill levels can sweat freely and push their limits in the race. Some routes are
well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great
Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. The race can be an amazing
chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local food.
A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience
the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.

Taihu Tunnel, 10.79 kilometres long and 43.6 metres wide, has been the longest underwater
tunnel in China. It stands out as one of the “2022 China’s Top 100 Buildings in the New Era”.
When building Taihu Tunnel, the project team faced many challenges, such as high safety risks
and time limit. To deal with them, they made workable plans. They divided the tunnel construction
into 19 parts. The construction of each part mainly took four steps.
Step 1 Remove. The team built a cofferdam to remove water from the area, so the workers could
go inside and do their work in dry conditions.
Step 2 Clear. The team dug deep into the lake bed, and cleared the soil and stones out in
order to make space for the next step.
Step 3 Build. The team built the floor, walls and roof of the tunnel in this step. They used
high-quality building materials to waterproof the tunnel.
Step 4 Backfill. The team put the soil and stones back. Then this part of the tunnel was buried
deep down the lake bed.
The construction of the 19 parts was streamlined. The project team used a new method. The
work group of each step moved to the next part and repeated their work after they finished the
work in the previous part. Different work groups co-operated well with each other. From part to
part, the construction started from the opposite ends, and got connected somewhere in the middle.
The construction took about four years to complete, shorter than people had expected.
The drivers’ safety is fully considered in Taihu Tunnel. There are 200,000 LED lights on
the ceiling of the tunnel. They show vivid pictures of blue sky, starry night and so on. The pictures
can help drivers fight tiredness and travel through the tunnel safely. Besides, there are two
systems in the tunnel. The police can check the traffic situation through a monitoring system.
If traffic accidents happen, the police can give instructions and warn drivers in the tunnel over
an audio system to prevent further accidents.
The construction of Taihu Tunnel shows great value in engineering and the tunnel brings much
convenience to people living nearby.
23. Which picture shows how a “cofferdam” works?
A.
B.
C.
D.
24. The construction of Taihu Tunnel ______.
A. was divided into four parts
B. look more time than people had expected
C. started from the middle of the lake
D. was completed by using a streamlined method
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 8?
A. Pictures in the tunnel can help keep drivers safe.
B. Drivers can control the LED lights in the tunnel.
C. The police can warn drivers through a monitoring system.
D. An audio system can help drivers check the traffic situation.
26. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise people to protect Taihu Tunnel.
B. To introduce the construction of Taihu Tunnel.
C. To share the advantages brought by Taihu Tunnel.
D. To tell the difficulties of constructing Taihu Tunnel.
D
I was travelling on a British ship from India to London in 1905. Among all the passengers,
no one would fail to notice Padishah, an Indian businessman. From the moment he got on the ship,
he kept showing off the diamond on his turban. The big diamond successfully attracted attention,
including that of the five ostriches on the deck.
One morning, as Padishah passed by the ostriches, one swallowed his diamond suddenly. The
bird ran around and mixed itself with the others in no time.
“Whose are these stupid ostriches? I want my diamond back!” Padishah shouted angrily. People
began to crowd on the deck. I was among the first to arrive. I didn’t feel half sorry for the
man as he was asking everyone what to do for the diamond’s return.
Word swept across the ship about the accident, reaching a man named Potter. After lunch in
the hall, Potter went to Padishah and claimed, “I’ve contacted the ostriches’ owner in London.
He accepted my offer for all five and now I am the owner. I have the right to keep the birds and
the diamond inside.” I thought Potter was rather smart and regretted deeply at a lost chance.
Padishah was so upset and blurted, “There’s no way you can get my diamond,” he continued
as he got calmer. “I can offer you 100 pounds for the birds.” Potter simply refused and left.
After a while, Potter came back to the hall with a sly smile. He announced that he wanted
to sell four birds separately to separate people by auction. The starting price was 80 for a bird.
One of them, he would keep for himself.
Before the crowd realised what was happening, a diamond businessman got one bird for 100 pounds.
The prices for the following birds rose higher and higher. After the fourth being sold, Padishah
got half mad, not knowing what to do. Potter seemed suddenly sorry and said, “I should have kept
them all. But... Trust me! The last bird must be the one.”
I stared at the last bird for quite a while and asked Potter for a private conversation. After
a long talk, I finally got the bird for 700 pounds.______
The next morning, I was waiting in line to get off the ship, picturing the amazing future
life in mind. Then, I saw Padishah and Potter walk arm in arm on the shore, just like old friends.
At that moment, I learnt a lesson worth a diamond.
27. What happened to Padishah on the deck?
A. He was hurt by a passenger.
B. He failed to get others’ attention.
C. People shouted angrily at him.
D. An ostrich took away his diamond.
28. Potter came back to the hall to ______.
A. say sorry to Padishah
B. tell people he was the new owner
C. sell ostriches at high prices
D. talk with the diamond businessman
29. Which of the following can he put into ______ in Paragraph 8?
A. How worried I was!
B. What a great deal it was!
C. How upset Padishah was!
D. What an honest man Potter was!
