限时规范练(十七)　UNIT 1　PEOPLE OF ACHIEVEMENT (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Yue­Sai Kan was born in 1946 in Guilin，Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region，and grew up in Hong Kong. In 1968，while majoring in piano at the Hawaii campus of Brigham Young University，Kan entered a beauty contest sponsored by the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce. She won second place，and as a result got to travel around the world. The life­changing experience marked the beginning of her career in fashion，beauty，communication and cultural exchange. In 1972，she moved to New York and created the weekly television series Looking East，the first of its kind to introduce Asian cultures and customs to a growing US audience. In 1986，Kan returned to China，producing and hosting the television series One World，which was the first show ever hosted by a Chinese­American on the television network，and was a national hit. Other important projects of hers include the ABC documentary China: Walls and Bridges，which initially explored different forms of spirituality in the country over the ages. “I worked in China for almost 40 years，and I was there to witness and contribute to the country's breakneck pace of change. This rare experience has given me a unique vision. As I say all the time，if I stay away from China for six months，I already miss so much of what is happening there! The Chinese saying ‘a year—small change，three years—big change’ has held true all this time，”Kan says. Kan has never stopped doing what she loves. She is currently planning to do a 10­part television series exploring and highlighting the most interesting aspects of 10 Chinese cities，including Beijing，Shanghai，Guangzhou，Shenzhen，Hangzhou and Chengdu.“I firmly believe that a TV series featuring these major Chinese cities is not only timely，but also necessary to educate，enlighten and entertain by showcasing the Chinese people as they live today. This will help dispel some of the misunderstandings about China in the world，” Kan says. Throughout her life，Kan has also been deeply involved in charity. On Jan.26，2023，she hosted a major charity event in San Francisco，in which she will honor 12 of the most outstanding Chinese­American women. 1．What contributes most to starting Kan's career? A．Her university major. B．Her interest in travel. C．Her competition experience. D．Her parents' encouragement. 2．Which feature do the contents of Kan's TV projects have in common? A．They are entertaining. B．They are critical. C．They are adventurous. D．They are pioneering. 3．What does Kan focus on about China in Paragraph 3? A．Its steady change. B．Its huge challenges. C．Its great achievements. D．Its fast development. 4．Which of the following best describe Kan? A．Gentle and considerate. B．Optimistic and strict. C．Generous and humorous. D．Ambitious and kind­hearted. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Yue­Sai Kan的人生经历与事迹，她制作了许多轰动一时的电视节目，关注中国的快速发展以及投身慈善事业。 1．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In 1968，while majoring in piano at the Hawaii campus of Brigham Young University，Kan entered a beauty contest ...marked the beginning of her career in fashion，beauty，communication and cultural exchange.”可知，这一改变人生的经历标志着她在时尚、美容、沟通和文化交流领域的职业生涯的开始，也就是说比赛经历促成了Kan的职业生涯。故选C。 2．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的the first of its kind、the first show和initially explored different forms of spirituality可知，Kan的电视节目内容的共同之处是都是先锋节目。故选D。 3．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I worked in China for almost 40 years，and I was there to witness and contribute to ...I already miss so much of what is happening there！”可知，Kan关注中国的快速发展。故选D。 4．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，Kan在时尚、美容、沟通和文化交流领域皆有所成就；并且积极投身慈善事业。故选D。 B Stéphanie Frappart made history on Thursday as the first woman to referee (裁判) a men's World Cup match. Alongside assistants Neuza Back from Brazil and Karen Diaz from Mexico，the Frenchwoman was part of an all­female refereeing trio officiating Costa Rica vs. Germany in their Group E match. Throughout her career，Frappart has achieved a seemingly endless series of firsts. In April 2019，she became the first female referee to take charge of a Ligue 1 match，in August 2019，the first to take charge of a major men's European match，and in 2020，the first to officiate a men's UEFA Champions League match. At the World Cup，a referee might make 245 decisions in a single game，Sky Sports estimates，and if just one is wrong，it will be analyzed in microscopic detail. It could alter the course of a game，or even a team's World Cup—denying it a title or ensuring it progresses no further in the tournament.“When you make a mistake，it's more important than if a player makes a mistake—there are more consequences for the teams，” Frappart says.“It's also easy to say that it's the fault of the referee and not the fault of our team when you lose.” Inevitably，female referees are carefully examined，as they straddle (跨越) two traditionally male­dominated fields: football and leadership.“There are many questions involved if she's there because she's a woman.” Frappart recalls when she made her debut in Ligue.“It's not only in football. I think in every job when you're a woman you need to prove that you have the quality and after that they let you continue.” But as Frappart refereed more matches，the stance towards her gradually changed.“Now，it's not a question of gender. It's now only a question about competencies.” With women refereeing，the matches at the Qatar World Cup broadcast to huge audiences worldwide. Frappart knew it encouraged more women to pick up a whistle and take more and more responsibility.“So if you have more female referees on the TV perhaps it might make it easier for women to say: ‘OK，this is possible.’” 5．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Frappart's life experience. B．Frappart's achievements. C．Frappart's contributions. D．Frappart's habits. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Frappart's job as a referee? A．Creative and rewarding. B．Challenging but inspiring. C．Difficult and meaningless. D．Easy but troublesome. 7．The underlined words “made her debut” in Paragraph 5 means “________”． A．made a speech B．made full preparations C．made her first appearance D．made a living 8．Which of the following statements is true? A．The Qatar World Cup drew huge audiences for women refereeing. B．It's easy to put the blame for teams' failures on referees. C．Frappart impressed the world with competencies in her first match. D．In August 2019，Frappart was the first female referee in a Ligue 1 match. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了执裁男子世界杯比赛的第一位女性——Frappart 的相关事迹。 5．B　[解析]主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，尤其是第一句中的Frappart has achieved a seemingly endless series of firsts可知，本段主要介绍了Frappart的成就。故选 B。 6．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Inevitably，female referees are carefully examined，as they straddle two traditionally male­dominated fields: football and leadership. ‘There are many questions involved if she's there because she's a woman.’”可推断，Frappart 执裁男子比赛具有挑战性。根据第六段中的“Frappart knew it encouraged more women to pick up a whistle and take more and more responsibility.”可推断，Frappart的工作激励着其他女性。故选B。 7．C　[解析]词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“In April 2019，she became the first female referee to take charge of a Ligue 1 match”可推断，Frappart回忆起她在法国足球甲级联赛首次亮相时的情景。由此推知，画线词组为“首次露面；初次登场”之意。故选C。 8．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“It's also easy to say that it's the fault of the referee and not the fault of our team when you lose.”可知，人们很容易把球队的失败归咎于裁判。故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Joǎo Carlos Martins is a famous pianist and conductor.
