湖南省怀化市沅陵县2020届初中英语九年级上学期知识竞赛试卷

阅读理解

At 39 weeks pregnant most women (怀孕妇女) would only be thinking of racing to hospital. But not Amber Miller, who set off to run the Chicago(芝加哥)Marathon (马拉松赛) ,while expecting her second child any day.

As she neared the final stage of the race, she began to feel pain in the stomach. But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes.

Unbelievably the Chicago race was not even baby June's first marathon — Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year, four months pregnant. She also ran another marathon when she was about four months pregnant with her son, Caleb.

Although there was extra weight, the seasoned runner's time was just 3 hours off her personal best.

Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race, but she was not sure if it was labor (分娩), because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant. After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the healthy 7 pounds, 13 ounce baby.

Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the race. The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic welcome from crowds as she ran along. But the devoted runner, who had completed eight marathons, admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.

"I know what I can handle. This is something I've been doing for a long time," the experienced marathon runner said.

June was born at 10:29 p.m. on Sunday night after seven hours' labor. "She's absolutely perfect," Miller said. "We are extremely happy, but very tired."

After her surprising double achievement, Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a full­time mom.

He was an old man who fished alone in a boat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.In the first forty days a boy had been with him.But after forty days without a fish,the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao,which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week.

It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry fishing tools.

The old man was thin with deep wrinkles(皱纹in the back of his neck.His hands had the deep scars(伤疤from dealing with heavy fish. But none of these scars were fresh.

Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and full of confidence.

"Santiago",the boy said to him as they climbed from the bank where the boat was pulled up."I could go with you again.We've made some money."

"No,"the old man said."You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them."

"But remember how you went eighty-seven days without a fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks."

"I remember,"the old man said."I know you did not want to leave me."

"It was papa who made me leave.I am a boy and I must do what he told me to.""I know. I quite understand that.""He hasn't much faith(信念)."

"No,"the old man said."But we have. Haven't we?"

"Yes,"the boy said."Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we'll take the fishing tools home?"

"Why not?"the old man said."Between fishermen."

They sat on the Terrace. Many fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry. Some other older fishermen looked at him and were sad. But they didn't show it and they spoke politely about the sea,the weather and of what they had seen.
