Just a Brother
It was the final part of the 2016 World 1 Series in Mexico. With just 700 metres to go, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was in the 2 . Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the 3 heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother about to fall onto the 4 . Alistair had to choose — 5 love, or a chance to win the race?
For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started 6 him towards the finish line. Alistair then pushed his brother over the line. The move put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an 7 end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother, who had been 8 to the medical area.
The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. “ 9 , when your older brother is doing it, you think it’s a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. 10 arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my 11 life, I’ve had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously 12 force.”
Watched by millions,the ending to the race has 13 opinions: should the brothers have been 14 or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn’t have been happy if I’d left Jonny 15 .” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal — he was just a brother.

答案: BABDC BDADC ACDBA
本题主要考查考生对文章的理解能力和词汇运用能力。文章讲述了一场世界三项全能锦标赛的决赛中,Alistair Brownlee在比赛中选择了帮助摔倒的弟弟Jonny,而不是争取赢得比赛。这个选择引起了观众们的不同看法。
1. 正确答案是:Triathlon
在文章中提到的是"The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children.",意思是布朗利兄弟从小就参加三项全能运动,因此可以推断出这是2016年墨西哥世界三项全能锦标赛的决赛部分,所以第一个空应该填"Triathlon"。Biathlon(冬季两项)是一种冬季运动,包括越野滑雪和射击。Decathlon(十项全能)是一种田径运动项目,包括10个不同的田径项目。Pentathlon(五项全能)也是一种田径运动项目,包括5个不同的田径项目。
2. 正确答案是:lead
lead,领先的位置;last,最后;side,旁边;past,过去的或已完成的。
3. 正确答案是:burning。freezing(冰冷的)寒冷的,“thrilling”,令人狂喜的;pleasant,愉快的,与描述比赛场景的情感不符。
4. 正确答案是:track,跑道。sand沙子,通常与沙滩或沙漠相关,而不是比赛场地;water(水),虽然铁人三项包括游泳部分,但题目描述的是Jonny即将跌倒的情境,所以不是水。vehicle(车辆),与比赛场地和跌倒的情境不符。
5. 正确答案是:Brotherly
在文章的意思是Alistair必须做出选择——是兄弟之情还是赢得比赛的机会。因此,这个空应该填"Brotherly",表示兄弟之情。friendly友好的,虽然兄弟之间可能有友好的关系,但这里更强调的是兄弟间的情感和责任,所以“brotherly”更合适。common普通的,与题目中描述的情境不符。Humane人道的,虽然描述的是人与人之间的情感,但在这里“brotherly”更具体地指向了兄弟间的情感。
6. 正确答案是:pulling
根据句子“Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started ___ him towards the finish line”,Alistair跑向Jonny并抓住他,然后开始拉着他向终点线前进,所以“pulling”是正确选项。
A. pushing - 拉。句子描述的是拉的动作,不是推。
C. sliding - 滑动。与推或拉的动作不符。
D. throwing - 扔。与句子的描述不符。
7. D. unexpected正确。句子中提到“It was an ___ end to the race”,暗示这个结局是出乎意料的,所以“unexpected”是正确选项。
A. invisible - 看不见的。与结局的描述不符。
B. honorable - 可敬的。虽然兄弟间的互助是可敬的,但句子强调的是结局的意外性。
C. unbelievable - 难以置信的。虽然这也可能,但不如“unexpected”直接。
8. A. rushed正确。句子说“He just wanted to see his younger brother, who had been ___ to the medical area”,意思是他只想看到被送到医疗区的弟弟,所以“rushed”表示急忙送去是正确的。
B. sparked - 引发。与句子描述不符。
C. led - 引导。虽然可以引导某人去某地,但在这里更强调的是急忙送去。
D. sent - 发送。不如“rushed”直接描述急忙的动作。
9. D. Obviously正确。句子“___, when your older brother is doing it, you think it’s a cool thing to do”表示“显然,当你的哥哥在做这件事时,你也会觉得这是一件很酷的事情”。
A. Immediately - 立刻。与句子的描述不符。
B. Fortunately - 幸运的是。与句子的语境不符。
C. Eventually – 最终得。与句子的描述不符。
10 C. Despite正确。句子“___ arguments over ‘stupid things’ now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage”表示“尽管有时会因为一些蠢事争吵,但Alistair还是认为有兄弟是优势”,所以“Despite”表示尽管是正确的。
A. With - 和。与句子的语境不符。
B. Beneath - 在……之下。与句子的描述不符。
D. Above - 在……之上。与句子的描述不符。
11 A. entire正确。句子“Throughout my ___ life, I’ve had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do”表示“在我的整个生活中,我弟弟总是试图在我做的每件事上打败我”,所以“entire”表示整个是正确的。
B. precious - 珍贵的。与句子的描述不符。
C. equal - 平等的。与句子的描述不符。
D. sports - 体育的。与句子的语境不符。
12 C. positive正确。句子“It has been an enormously ___ force”表示“这是一种极其积极的力量”,所以“positive”表示积极是正确的。
A. negative - 消极的。与句子的描述相反。
B. physical - 身体的。虽然力量可以是身体上的,但这里更强调其积极性。
D. inspiring - 鼓舞人心的。虽然也是积极的,但不如“positive”直接描述力量的性质。
13 D. divided正确。句子“Watched by millions,the ending to the race has ___ opinions”表示“数百万观众观看,比赛的结果引发了不同的意见”,所以“divided”表示分歧是正确的。
A. broadened - 扩大。与句子的描述不符。
B. assumed - 假定。与句子的描述不符。
C. approved - 批准,赞成。与句子的描述不符。
14 B. disqualified正确。句子“should the brothers have been ___ or highly praised for their actions?”表示“这两兄弟应该因为他们的行为被取消资格还是受到高度赞扬?”在这种情境下,观众可能认为帮助兄弟可能会被视为违反比赛规则,导致被取消资格,所以“disqualified”是正确的。
A. disappointed - 失望的。与句子的描述不符。
C. discouraged - 受挫的。与句子的描述不符。
D. dismissed – 解散的,下课的。与句子的描述不符。
15 A. behind正确。句子“Mum wouldn’t have been happy if I’d left Jonny ___”表示“如果我留下Jonny在后面,妈妈会不高兴的”,所以“behind”表示在后面是正确的。
B. over - 在……上方。与句子的描述不符。
C. out - 在外面。与句子的描述不符。
D. ahead 在前面。与句子的描述不符。
