Nearly half the petitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the races 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to pete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,” says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy and strength shed need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didnt think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brothers shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes faster than two thirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.4.

Leading a new lifeB. Running into historyC. Long-distance runnersD. The worlds oldest raceCFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be pletely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 person panies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big panies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the reports co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsofts Jonathan Grudin told researchers.8. We can infer from the text that in the future _.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten peoples livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces9. According to the report, _.A. people wont necessarily lose jobsB. big panies will face fewer challengesC. small panies will win against big paniesD. most people will bee interested in technology10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed. B. Worried.C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.11. Jonathan Grudins words in the last paragraph suggest that _.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will bee unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How teens can stay fitAny type of regular, physical activity can improve your fitness and your health. 12 Exercise should be a regular part of your day, like brushing your teeth, eating and sleeping.
