Top Five Youngest Olympics Gold
Medal Winners of AllTime
Nadia Comaneci
Nadia Comaneci is from Romania and a fivetime Olympic gold medalist.She was merely 14 years old when she secured the Gold at the 1976 Montreal Olympics and was the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of 10.Interestingly,back then,a gymnast had to be 14 to participate but later the age limit went up to 16 years.Therefore,Nadia's record cannot be broken.
Fu Mingxia
Chinese female diver Fu Mingxia is popular for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions.She won a gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games when she was just 13 years and 345 days old.She dominated the sport throughout the 1990s with her extremely difficult dives.
Nishiya Momiji
The event of skateboarding was making its debut at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.Japan's Nishiya Momiji became the first ever women's Olympic skateboarding champion.The athlete was merely 13 years and 330 days old,one of the youngest individual Olympic gold medal winners.
Klaus Zerta
Klaus Zerta was only 13 years and 283 days old when he won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome in the coxed pairs event (赛艇双人有舵手项目).Moreover,he is the youngest confirmed male athlete to win a gold medal in the history of the Summer Olympics.
Marjorie Gestring
Marjorie Gestring of the USA was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won the gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games in diving and became the youngest individual Olympic gold medalist.She would have won more gold medals considering her talent if not for the coming of World War Ⅱ.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了全球最年轻的五位奥运冠军。

A.Her performance was extremely difficult.
B.She was the first gymnast to get a full mark.
C.The age limit of a gymnast was increased to 16.
D.She has won the Olympic gold medal for 5 times.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知,在Nadia之后参加奥运会的体操运动员的最小年龄从14岁提到了16岁,因而她14岁获得奥运冠军的纪录不可能被打破。
2.Who is the youngest individual Olympic gold medal winner?
A.Marjorie Gestring. B.Klaus Zerta.
C.Nishiya Momiji. D.Fu Mingxia.
解析:选A 细节理解题。对比所列选手的年龄并根据最后一段“Marjorie Gestring of the USA was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won the gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games in diving and became the youngest individual Olympic gold medalist.”可知,马乔里·格斯特林在13岁268天的时候赢得奥运金牌,是史上最年轻的个人项目金牌获得者。
3.How many kinds of sports do the 5 players cover?
A.Five. B.Four.
C.Three. D.Two.
解析:选B 细节理解题。通读全文可知,Nadia Comaneci是体操项目冠军,Nishiya Momiji是滑板项目冠军,Klaus Zerta是双人赛艇有舵手项目冠军,伏明霞和Marjorie Gestring是跳水项目冠军。这5名运动员参与了4种运动。

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable option for someone with no arms — but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits.The 48yearold Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier by holding the paddle(乒乓球拍) in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball.
Hamadtou,who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten,was drawn to table tennis after being challenged by a friend.“I was once watching a match between two of my friends,”Hamadtou explains.“They disagreed on a point.When I was in favour of one of them,the other player told me,‘Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.’It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis.”
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport.He said the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body.“I was trying first to use the bat under the arm,and I also tried using other things,which weren't working so well.Finally,I tried using my mouth.It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve.With practicing and playing regularly,this skill improved.”
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the Year.He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships,qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43,and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says,“The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up whatever you would like to do.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了东京残奥会埃及乒乓球选手Ibrahim Hamadtou身残志坚,获得了很多荣誉的故事。

7.What message does the story convey?
A.Well begun is half done.
B.Love breaks down barriers.
C.Success gives people delight.
D.Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

A new study,out of Japan's Fukuoka University and presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 72nd Annual Meeting in April,2020,is so interesting.The researchers found that playing ping pong may lead to significant improvements in Parkinson's symptoms.
“Ping pong,which is also called table tennis,is a form of aerobic (有氧的) exercise that has been shown in the general population to improve handeye coordination,sharpen reflexes,and stimulate the brain,” said study author Kenichi Inoue,M.D.,of Fukuoka University.“We wanted to examine if people with Parkinson's disease would see similar benefits that may in turn reduce some of their symptoms.”
The study included 12 people(an average age of 73) with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease,who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's for seven years on average.The participants were tested at the beginning of the study to assess the type and degree of symptoms they had.They then had a ping pong session once a week.The sessions included stretching exercises and specific ping pong exercises led by experienced table tennis players from the department of Sports Science of Fukuoka University.
The symptoms were then assessed again at three months and six months(at the end of the study),and during that period participants experienced significant improvements in speech,handwriting,getting dressed,getting out of bed and walking.For example,it took participants an average of more than two attempts to get out of bed at the beginning of the study compared to an average of one attempt at the end of the study.They also had significant improvements in facial expression,posture,rigidity(僵硬),slowness of movement and hand trembles.
“While this study is small,the results are encouraging because they show ping pong,a relatively inexpensive form of therapy,may improve some symptoms of Parkinson's disease,” said Inoue.“A much larger study is now being planned to confirm these findings.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本福冈大学的一项新研究。研究人员发现,打乒乓球可能会显著改善帕金森症的症状。
8.Why does the author feel the new study is interesting?
A.Ping pong is a sport of great interest.
B.The process of the study is easy and relaxing.
C.The combination between sports and diseases is funny.
D.It excites curiosity that ping pong should improve Parkinson's symptoms.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The researchers found that playing ping pong may lead to significant improvements in Parkinson's symptoms.”可知,作者认为这项新研究很有趣,因为用打乒乓球这种廉价的方式可以改善帕金森症,它激起了人们的好奇和兴致。
9.Which aspect do the 12 participants have in common?
A.Age. B.Gender.
C.Disease. D.Degree.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The study included 12 people(an average age of 73) with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease,who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's for seven years on average.”可知,这12个参与者都患有帕金森病。
10.How many times have the participants been assessed altogether?
A.1. B.2.
C.3. D.4.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The participants were tested at the beginning of the study to assess the type and degree of symptoms they had.”及第四段中的“The symptoms were then assessed again at three months and six months(at the end of the study)”可知,参加实验的人员测试周期为6个月,分别在开始、第3个月和第6个月(结束时) 共进行3次评估。
11.What will Inoue probably do next according to the last paragraph?
A.Try other sports to draw new conclusions.
B.Get more people involved to further prove the findings.
C.Expand the range of diseases to match with ping pong.
D.Find out more connections between sports and diseases.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“A much larger study is now being planned to confirm these findings.”可知,Inoue可能会让更多的人参与进来进一步证明研究结果。
D
Sometimes,you just can't say no to another spoonful of ice cream and maybe one more after that.Why not?You deserve it.
There's no need to beat yourself up about it later.The truth is that you were probably bound to do that from the very first spoonful.That's because there is a switch in your brain,and for whatever reason,it can get stuck in the “on” position.
According to a new study,this impulse(冲动) control may come down to a very specific circuit in the brain which occasionally produces melaninconcentrating hormone,or MCH—a chemical linked with our desire for food or drugs.And that circuit always says yes.
By manipulating this circuit,it is possible that we might be able to develop cures for overeating that help people stick to a diet without reducing normal appetite or making delicious foods like donuts less delicious.
For their research,the scientists treated rats to a selfserve buffet.But the treats were on a timed delivery system,making tasty food every 20 seconds,and only when a rat pressed a lever(杠杆).Hit that lever too early—as impatient test subjects occasionally did—and the counter would start from scratch.Leverhappy rats would have to wait another cycle before the food became available again.
A second experiment offered the rats two dining options.Push Lever A and get an immediate small reward.Pushing Lever B meant waiting for around 40 seconds,but the food reward would be much bigger.Guess which lever those impatient rats were most fond of?That's right.They picked the nownownow switch.
Their impulsiveness,however,rose sharply when scientists gave the rats MCH.These animals became more impulsive.MCH,it seemed,could talk rats into loosening its inhibitions(拘束).The result?More please.
Researchers can now see where that conversation between the brain's reward system and its impulse control center takes place.The next step will be to map it—and potentially influence the discussion.It may eventually be possible to control a foodeating impulse.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。有时候,你总是忍不住再吃一勺冰淇淋,根据最新研究显示,这种冲动控制可以归结为大脑中偶尔会产生的黑色素浓缩激素,或者称MCH,它是与我们对食物或药物的渴望有关的化学物质。
12.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “manipulating” in Paragraph 4?
A.Strengthening. B.Controlling.
C.Classifying. D.Creating.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“And that circuit always says yes.”可知,它总是说同意; 根据画线词后面的“it is possible that we might be able to develop cures for overeating that help people stick to a diet without reducing normal appetite or making delicious foods like donuts less delicious.”可以推理出,是控制大脑中的那个回路来研发出方法。因此下划线单词manipulating意为“操作、控制”,结合选项,选B。
13.What would happen when a rat pressed a lever earlier than the fixed time?
A.A bigger food reward would appear.
B.Tasty food would be delivered much sooner.
C.Longer time would be needed for food to appear.
D.The lever would be stopped from delivering food.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Hit that lever too early—as impatient test subjects occasionally did—and the counter would start from scratch.Leverhappy rats would have to wait another cycle before the food became available again.”可以看出,当老鼠在规定时间之前按下杠杆时,食物出现需要更长的时间。故选C。
14.Why did the researchers conduct the experiments?
A.To find out the effect of MCH on animals.
B.To prove rats are also greedy for more food.
C.To study how levers influence rats' impulse.
D.To show rats and humans have similar impulse for food.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Their impulsiveness,however,rose sharply when scientists gave the rats MCH.These animals became more impulsive.MCH,it seemed,could talk rats into loosening its inhibitions.”可以看出,研究者的实验是为了了解MCH对动物的影响。故选A。
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Is the Effect of Your Impulse?
B.What Can You Do to Resist More Food?
C.Why Can't You Say “No” to Your Impulse?
D.Why Do You Always Give in to One More Mouthful?
解析:选D 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sometimes,you just can't say no to another spoonful of ice cream and maybe one more after that.”可知,有时,你拒绝不了另一勺冰激凌或者再来一个; 根据第三段“According to a new study,this impulse control may come down to a very specific circuit in the brain which occasionally produces melaninconcentrating hormone,or MCH—a chemical linked with our desire for food or drugs.”可以看出,文章研究的是“你为什么总要多吃一口”现象,故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As children grow up,they will likely be drawn to participate in sports.But not all children will be interested in or successful at every sports experience.Some children tend to join in team sports while others will prefer individual sports. 16 So how can parents help their child pick a most suitable sport?Here's How:
17
A child's interest in a given sport is the best determiner of whether he or she will enjoy it as a participant.So expose the child to a wide variety of sports experiences.Talk with them about what they like and dislike about each sport.
18
As you check out the various sports,see if you can tell which of them seems most interesting to the child.Listen to your child for signs about their preferences.Maybe they will talk about the players,the skills,or they will tell others about the experience.If you watch and listen,you can pick up what interests them most.
Find out:team or individual?
Some children will prefer to participate in a team sport like football,baseball or basketball in which they play a role in a team. 19 Sports like these include swimming,tennis or golf.Or they may simply enjoy individual sports like cycling and gymnastics.As you observe your child,try to find out what their preferences are. 20
A.Watch out for signs of enthusiasm.
B.Expose the child to a variety of sports.
C.Match the sport to your child's body type.
D.Some body types are better suited to some sports than others.
E.Others will prefer being on a team where their own skills matter most.
F.Make sure that the child has a physical exam before participating in sports actively.
G.These observations will help you focus on the sport that will work best for your child.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章就父母如何帮助孩子选择最适合的运动给出了一些建议。
16.解析:选D 根据下文中的“So how can parents help their child pick a most suitable sport?”和D项中的“are better suited to some sports”相呼应,可知应选D项“有些体型比其他体型更适合某些运动”。
17.解析:选B 根据本部分中的主题句“So expose the child to a wide variety of sports experiences.”可知,B项“让孩子接触各种运动”为本部分的最佳标题。
18.解析:选A 根据本部分中“which of them seems most interesting to the child...for signs about their preferences”以及“If you watch and listen,you can pick up what interests them most.”可知,本部分主要讲注意找到孩子的兴趣点,故选A项“注意热情的迹象”。
19.解析:选E 根据下文中的“Sports like these include swimming,tennis or golf.”是E项的例子,故选E项“其他人则更喜欢在一个自己的技能最重要的团队中”。
20.解析:选G 本句是总结句,回扣上文提到的文章主题“how can parents help their child pick a most suitable sport?”由此可知,应选G项“这些观察会帮你把注意力集中在最适合孩子的运动上”。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kathy's family vacation to the beach was usually the highlight of her summer.This year,however,her parents announced a new rule:no cellphones for the entire week.
“But my friends will be expecting updates about the trip,” Kathy complained.Kathy's mom gave her a serious look.Unwillingly,Kathy handed her cellphone over and her mom locked it away.
The drive to the beach house took most of the day.As they turned off the highway onto country roads,the clouds darkened.Rain started to pour.“Even more beautiful in the rain,” her mother said.“What do you think,Kathy?” Kathy glared at her mom.“Beautiful,” she muttered.
That night after dinner,Kathy wandered into the kitchen,where her father was washing dishes.She gave her father a loving look and said in her sweetest voice,“Couldn't I have my cellphone back,just for one second?Just so I can tell everyone what an amazing time I'm having?”
“Can't,” he said,“it's not here.Remember?” Kathy was very annoyed.Having nothing better to do,she examined the dusty bookcase in the living room.The books looked as dull as the weather.On the top shelf,however,she spotted a puzzle.She took it,emptied the pieces on the table,and began to sort them.
After what seemed like a few minutes,she looked up.It was past ten o'clock.She had been working for almost two hours!She yawned.The puzzle was not half done,but she was exhausted.So,she went to bed.
When Kathy awoke the next morning,she jumped out of bed and drew the curtains.A blazing sun was rising over the blue ocean.The sky was cloudless.The scene reminded Kathy of a photo that her friend Betty had recently sent her.
This view was even better.It would leave everyone speechless.Kathy dashed to her bedside table and reached for her cellphone.But there was nothing there.She sighed.Still,she wandered in front of the window,admiring the sunrise.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
After a quick breakfast,Kathy headed to the beach.
Appreciating the finished puzzle,she realized she hadn't thought of her cellphone for hours.
One possible version:
After a quick breakfast,Kathy headed to the beach.There on the beach,fishermen had already carried their harvests back and were sorting them out.The sunshine on the beach,on the seagulls and on Kathy amazed her.Everything was natural and soothing.The scene and warmth suddenly reminded Kathy of the undone puzzle,which was supposed to be a breathtaking picture of the seaside.With some seashells in hand,she headed back and settled down to the work on the puzzle.After what seemed like several hours,she finally completed it.
Appreciating the finished puzzle,she realized she hadn't thought of her cellphone for hours.She looked out of the window.The sun was blazing.Maybe it was time to plan for the following week.She now knew that she would not be short of things to do.She looked at the books and found them shining with the sunlight through the window!What an amazing change!She smiled.With a cellphone,we can do a lot.But without a cellphone,a lot more things are waiting to be explored.
