Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

People have always been attracted to rock climbing and plenty of accidents have resulted from this hobby.Seventeen­year­old Wendy Sherlock has fallen three times without any injury while rock­climbing，but after her latest accident last Saturday，she is lucky to be alive.

Wendy has been in hospital for two days after an eight­metre fall from a rocky cliff in the Sanderson National Park.She doesn't remember much about the accident，and it's not surprising considering her injuries.

“I've got quite a bad head injury—that's the worst thing.” Wendy explained.“But I've also broken my arm and a couple of my ribs (肋骨) and there's a problem with my left shoulder.” She doesn't know how long she will have to stay in hospital，as the doctors haven't told her yet.However，she is realistic about her recovery.“I'll be in here for a while，and I need time to recover because I hit my head when I fell on the ground.That's why I can't remember anything about the accident.”

Wendy's doctors are certain that there's no long­lasting damage，but they've advised her to give up her dangerous sport.However，Wendy is undeterred.“Since I was a child，I've always loved climbing and I decided to continue doing it，” she said.“I think this accident is simply a reminder to take a little more care.I've started to feel better already，and I can't wait to start climbing again.”

[语篇解读]　记叙文　温迪在攀岩时受伤，医生建议她放弃攀岩，但是温迪认为事故只是为了提醒自己小心，所以她决定继续攀岩。

1．What can we know from the first paragraph?

A．Wendy is experienced in mountain climbing.

B．Wendy never had accidents while rock­climbing.

C．Wendy got seriously injured while rock­climbing.

D．No difficulty can stop Wendy from rock­climbing.

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，温迪在之前的事故中都没有受伤，但是在上周六的事故后，她能活下来就非常幸运，推测温迪在攀岩时受了重伤。

2．Why can't Wendy remember much about the accident?

A．She has fallen three times.

B．She has a bad head injury.

C．She has to stay in hospital for a long time.

D．She can't wait to start rock­climbing again.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I'll be in here for a while，and I need time to recover because I hit my head when I fell on the ground.That's why I can't remember anything about the accident.”可知，温迪不记得事故是因为她的头部受伤了。

3．What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in the last paragraph?

A．Not confused.  B．Not determined.

C．Not satisfied.  D．Not discouraged.

解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“but they've advised her to give up her dangerous sport”(但他们建议她放弃危险的运动)以及“I've started to feel better already，and I can't wait to start climbing again.”(“我”已经开始感觉好些了，“我”迫不及待地想再次开始攀岩。)可知，听到医生的建议之后，温迪没有被阻止，仍然选择继续攀岩，推测画线单词表示“不灰心丧气的”，与not discouraged同义。

4．Which of the following can be the best title?

A．Cool Sports

B．A Lesson for Wendy

C．Sports and Fitness

D．A Climbing Accident

解析：选B　标题归纳题。文章主要描述了攀岩运动爱好者温迪在攀岩中受重伤，但是她认为事故只是给自己的一个教训，最终还是决定继续攀岩，所以“给温迪的教训”可以作为文章标题。

Born in Balmain，New South Wales in 1937，Dawn Fraser is the youngest of eight children from a working­class family.In 1952，her great swimming ability was noticed by coach Harry Gallagher，who took over her training and set the 1956 Olympics as their goal.

In 1955 Dawn won her first Australian title in the 220 yards (码) freestyle and，during that summer season，went on to rewrite the record books：setting new Australian records in all freestyle events up to 880 yards.At the 1956 Melbourne Olympics she became an Australian national hero and world swimming star，winning the 100 metres freestyle gold medal in world record time as well as taking gold in the 100 metres freestyle relay and silver in the 400 metres freestyle.

Dawn won two more gold medals at the 1958 Commonwealth Games in Cardiff，Wales，and another gold at the Rome Olympics in 1960 for the 100 metres freestyle.By this time she had

become a legend of the first rank (等级) in Australian sport.Back then，as today，she remained untouched by her achievements.

After winning four gold medals at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth，Dawn finished her international swimming career (生涯) at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964，silencing her critics (批评者) by winning a gold medal in the 100 metres freestyle at the age of 27.This took her Olympic medal count to four gold medals and four silver medals.She has continued to give back to her sport and other sports by being a mentor (良师) for Abled and Disabled Australian Olympic Teams since 1988.

Twenty years later Dawn returned to public life.She has since kept an active role in the sporting and wider community as Patron of the Cerebral Palsy Sports Association，the Wheelchair Sports Association of Victoria and of the Ladies Professional Golf Association.She is also a member of the NSW Sports Advisory Board and is a director of the Wests Tigers Football Club，Balmain Leagues Club and Balmain Football Club.
