Don't they know what it takes to get there? However，deep down⑦ I knew elements⑧ of what he was saying were right.I was always tired and every workout⑨ had a mental intensity⑩ that seemed too much for most to handle.I was pushing the limits and extremes beyond what most thought were healthy. These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis.Who am I doing this for? How much is too much? Why am I doing this? How can I be so selfish⑪？ What are the sacrifices⑫ for? I think of countless⑬ birthday parties and nights out I have missed，ruining a family holiday in France because of⑭ the endless search for⑮ a swimming pool to train in，almost missing my brother's wedding because I was too busy hiring⑯ a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes⑰. The list is endless. 本句是一个主从复合句。其中countless birthday parties and nights out，ruining...和almost missing...是think of的三个并列的宾语；I have missed是省略了that/which的定语从句；because引导原因状语从句，从句中含有句型be busy doing“忙于做……”。 It boils⑱ down to this：I was born with an enormous⑲ amount of drive and determination.From a small girl，I would stay in⑳ at lunch time just to get ahead㉑ on class work rather than㉒ go out and play; I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths㉓ of the pool while other kids played pool games; I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys.I have always lived my life to extremes.Call it unhealthy if you want，but that is the way I roll，no matter what it is I'm applying myself to㉔. 本句为并列复合句。but连接两个并列分句；第一个分句是祈使句；第二个分句中含有no matter what引导的让步状语从句。 Being a professional athlete is no different.If you want to be an Olympic champion，it's all about that little extra thing you have done in your preparation that will set you apart㉕ from your competitors. Can this be overdone? Absolutely.But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner's platform㉖，you had better be totally committed to㉗ your sport.In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee，even if it means getting injured㉘，“I'd prefer to have three or four outstanding㉙ years of winning stuff rather than have ten years of being average㉚.” 本句是一个主从复合句。句中even if引导让步状语从句，主句为直接引语。 Doing what we do as athletes sets us apart because we are willing to do that extra little bit that might take us to the top.It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal㉛ but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness. 登上顶峰 为什么奥林匹克运动员要将自己逼到极限呢？作为一名奥林匹克运动员，我错过生日聚会、破坏家庭旅行、放弃夜晚外出，但是放弃这么多是有合理的理由的。“我们很担心你，”桌子对面的朋友说。他担心和我一起训练不再是一件愉悦的事情，担心我处于只剩下世界冠军的奖牌而无人可以分享的危险境地。 我本可能会变得愤怒或自卫。难道他们不知道成为运动中的佼佼者有多困难吗？难道他们不知道达到那个级别需要付出什么吗？然而，在内心深处我知道他说的有些东西是对的。我总是很累，并且每次锻炼的精神强度对大多数人来说似乎太大了。我超越了大多数人认为的健康极限。 这些是我作为职业运动员每天面对的恐惧。我这样做是为了谁？多少才算太多？我为什么要这样做？我怎么能这么自私？这些牺牲是为了什么？ 我想到了曾经错过的无数生日派对和本来可以外出狂欢的夜晚；因为一直寻找可以训练的游泳池，而破坏了一次去法国的全家旅行；我忙于在约翰内斯堡市中心租车，开车闯过“禁行”区，以便和当地的铁人三项运动员一起骑行训练，差点错过哥哥的婚礼。这样的例子不胜枚举。 归根结底，我天生就是个特别有干劲和意志力的人。从一个小女孩开始，我就会在午餐时间待在家里，只是为了抢先完成课堂作业，而不是出去玩；我10岁的时候自己坐公共汽车，去游泳池游100段，而其他孩子在泳池戏水；在一个由250个男孩组成的橄榄球俱乐部里我是唯一的女孩。生活中我一向把事情做到极致。你若说这是一种病态也行，但这就是我的做事风格，不管做什么我都会全力以赴。 作为职业运动员也没什么不同。如果你想成为奥运冠军，就要在训练中多付出那额外的一点点，它将使你从竞争者中脱颖而出。 这是不是有点过头了？当然。但如果你的梦想是成为最好的，达到优胜者的平台，你最好全心全意地投入你的运动中。用英国铁人三项运动员阿利斯特尔·布朗利的话说，即使这意味着受伤，“我宁愿有获胜辉煌的3到4年，也不愿意有平庸的10年。” 做运动员让我们与众不同，因为我们愿意做到那额外的一点点，以使我们走向顶峰。这当然不是一种平衡的生活方式并且这当然也是不正常的，但是这些词一般不适用于追求伟绩的人们。 Part 2　语篇研析 1．Choose the main idea of the text.

Nowadays，Xu Yitang who has moved to the tropical island of South China's Hainan province，works for a Sanya-based tropical biological laboratory belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Each day，he spends several hours diving deep under the waves to observe and document the growth and development of the creatures that captured his heart all those years ago.Nicknamed “coral man”，he is actively engaged on such social media platforms as Blog，where he regularly shares visually beautiful photos and entertaining videos of corals.He aims to encourage individuals to take action in protecting coral reefs and the oceans as a whole from the destructive impact of climate change and human activities. Unfortunately，with the strengthening of the greenhouse effect，rising sea temperatures have led to coral bleaching (白化) and decay.A coral reef's beautiful colors come from the symbiotic algae (共生藻类) zooxanthellae that provide more than 90 percent of the energy through photosynthesis (光合作用).Coral bleaching occurs when coral expels the algae and dies due to the lack of nutrients. In the laboratory，he would film educational videos to raise awareness and knowledge about corals，so that people can learn how to protect them effectively.

Ready？” Cody's sister Briana asked him.Cody didn't know how to interact with Briana，who was eight years older than him.But every time Briana visited from college，she followed him to his tennis lessons and took him to climb mountains.But Briana had never taken him to try hang gliding.Cody knew she loved it—she had finally become a certified (持有证书的)instructor last month.So when she offered to take him，Cody jumped at the chance. Now Cody was fixed onto what was just a big kite，standing near the edge of a giant dune.Cody's brain was sounding the alarm.The confidence Cody had felt back at the training facility had all but disappeared.Briana looked over at him knowingly.“Before my first flight，I almost backed out more times than I can count，” she said.“You just have to believe in yourself.” Cody took another deep breath and nodded.“Now start walking toward the edge，” directed Briana.Cody pushed himself forward.“Walk，walk，walk...now run，run，run，RUN！” Briana coached. Cody ran.He ran right off the edge of the tall dune.He was airborne! What an amazing feeling! Cody gently pushed the bar forward to increase his speed，just as Briana had shown him.Then Cody saw that he was rapidly approaching the ground! He remembered to pull the bar back at the end to slow himself down，but it was too late for a smooth，on-foot landing.Cody landed on his knees，leaving him face down. “Are you okay？” Briana said，pulling Cody upright in his harness.Cody was definitely okay.Smiling from ear to ear，he said，“Let's go again！” He was already looking forward to his future in flight，with his sister by his side.
