请阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
In December of l 992．I was a happy husband and father of two young children．A month later，I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(急性白血病)．
After two years of chemo(化疗)that helped control the disease，my body was weak and lifeless．I felt as if I were a puppet who needed help to lift his arms or hold up his head．
I began to run．After six months my strength had come back．On one
of my runs，one where I felt I could run forever，I decided I was going to try to run a marathon．
After telling my Dad about my plan，he told me of a program that trains people to run a marathon，while raising funds for Leukemia research at the same time．So that summer，through the Leukemia Society’s Team in Training program，I started to train for the Marine Corps Marathon．During mile after mile of uncertainty，the day finally came to run the marathon．
On October 27，1996，at 8 A．M．，along with l9,000 other brave souls I started on a 26.2-mile journey that I will never forget．
I first saw my wife Patty at the six-mile mark . She seemed happy that I was still looking as if I knew what I was doing，and having a good time doing it．At Mile l7，my mind was going back to those two horrible years that tried to bring my family and me down．I saw her again．The concern in her face told me she knew I was starting to struggle．I felt as if we were thinking the same，nine more miles and these last few years will be behind us．
That thought alone pulled me forward．Mile 22，23，slowing but going，24，25，then there it was．The Iwo Jima War Memorial．I have seen nothing so grand and inspiring in my life．Three hours and forty-one minutes after I started，I crossed what I think has to be the most fitting finish line in all of road racing!
That night the Leukemia Society gave me a pin at a post-race party that simply says，“Leukemia 26.2”．
If God wills，my cancer may once again take away my hair and my strength，maybe even my life．But it can never take away my pin，or the fact that I am a marathoner .
36．The writer decided to run a marathon because __________ .

A．He has always been dreaming of becoming a marathoner． B．The training he took that summer well prepared him for the race． C．Those running in the race were mostly Leukemia patients like him . D．His wife was with him during the marathon to give him support． 38．Why does the writer think the finish line is the most fitting? A．Because running a marathon is the most suitable sport for him． B．Because the memorial is the most powerful construction he has seen．
C．Because he considers it a victory over his disease to finish the race． D．Because 26.2 miles is the most reasonable distance for road racing． 39．Which of the following can best describe the writer?
A．Optimistic and outspoken determined
C．Generous and easy-going 【参考答案】36—39、BDCB

2014 saw that the Ebola virus reappeared in Guinea and soon spread into neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing over 7,800 people by the new year of 2015. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc.
Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 out- break, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.
Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the
deadly virus.
Unfortunately, there are no disease - specific treatments for Ebola. Health - care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline（生理盐水）to keep them in good condition. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the infected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.
What’s worse, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. It is feared that the disease may spread throughout west African countries. For every country, a strong health system can decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of Ebola.
28. What is the function of the first paragraph in the whole passage? A. To arouse the reader’s concern. B. To summarize the whole passage.
C. To give a detailed description of Ebola. D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.
29. What can we infer about the Ebola virus?
A. It has caused a panic in many countries. B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.
C. A strong health system is important to fight against Ebola. D. Anyone who was infected Ebola will die. 30. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _________.
A. What the Ebola virus is B. How the Ebola virus spreads
C. How the Ebola virus is treated D. How the Ebola virus affects the life
31. Which of the following is tree?
A. There are no effective drugs to treat Ebola by far. B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.
C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola. D. Females are easier to be infected by Ebola. 参考答案、28--31 ACBA
