Unit 4 Growing up 单元话题阅读理解练习 （2024·江苏宿迁·三模）How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-floor building? The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds. The 23-year-old is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) in less than 5 seconds. The other two are Indonesian athletes Kiromal Katibin and Veddriq Leonardo. People call Cao the “fastest man in China” or “Chinese Spider-Man”. According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect. But this pressure is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport. “The pressure of competing side by side with another climber really excites me,” he said. “And I do enjoy the feeling when the result of a climb...is more than my personal best.” Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first get into climbing, Cao was mainly doing bouldering (抱石攀岩) and lead climbing (先锋攀岩) and was doing very well. However, he got wounded and had an operation at the age of 18. He then decided to try speed climbing because it uses different skills from bouldering and lead climbing and puts less pressure on his body. It turned out that Cao was great at speed climbing as well, even though he thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. He understands how to use his body to win. “I know how to better distribute (分配) power to different parts of my body,” Cao said. In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become a thing of the past. “I’ll keep trying to do better and go beyond myself,” said Cao. 1．How does the writer start this story? A．By giving an example. B．By describing views. C．By asking a question. D．By giving a suggestion. 2．From the second paragraph we can learn ________.

Which of the following isn’t the reason? A．Everyone can succeed easily. B．It is a sport that finishes in seconds. C．It’s a highly stressful race. D．Two climbers compete at the same time. 4．What’s Cao Long’s winning secret? A．He thinks he is hardly the strongest athlete. B．He did bouldering and lead climbing very well. C．He tried climbing earlier than the other children. D．He understands how to use his body better to win. （23-24九年级下·江苏南京·阶段练习）When Kelvin Kiptum lined up for his first competition in 2018, the new marathon star of Kenya did it in borrowed running shoes, because he could not afford a pair of his own. At the Chicago marathon of October, 2023, as Kiptum set an amazing world record of two hours and 35 seconds, the story of his rise in marathon running is just as unbelievable as the long steps he takes. “It has been a long journey for me,” the Men’s World Athlete of the Year told the Sports Channel. “It has come true, and I am really happy.” The father-of-two is among a new group of Kenyan athletes who began their careers on the road, different from the past tradition of athletes starting on the track before shifting to longer distances. Kiptum says his unusual choice was simply decided by a lack of resources (资源). “I had no money for track training,” he explained. “So I started training with road-running guys, and that’s how I got into marathon.” Kiptum’s love for running arose from watching his cousin running as a top marathon athlete, but he had to make his family believe that he could make it in athletics. “My father wanted me to be an electrician but I was saying that I needed to be an athlete—I had that eagerness,” Kiptum recalled. “That period was very hard for me because I trained for four years, yet there were no successes and they were disappointed in me. But I kept on pushing.” Kenya is home to some of the world’s greatest marathon runners, but Kiptum has qualities that make him special, says reporter Martin Franklin. “The level of fearlessness that Kiptum shows in his race is what is needed to rise to the top,” Martin adds. “Although his lightning-fast speed will lead to injuries in the future, Kiptum has made up his mind to become the first man to break the two-hour limit in marathon.” 5．What was Kiptum’s unusual choice? A．Starting with road training. B．Seeking training resources. C．Mixing road and track training. D．Running with others on the track. 6．Why is Kiptum different from other marathon runners according to Martin? A．He runs at a great speed. B．He holds more world records. C．He has greater courage to face challenges. D．He has a good plan to avoid possible injuries. 7．What might be the best title for the passage? A．From Electrician to Top Marathoner B．From Borrowed Shoes to World Records C．Kelvin Kiptum: A Tough Fighter for National Honor D．Marathon: Life-changing Career for African Athletes （23-24九年级上·辽宁沈阳·期末） Lee Hsien Loong Congratulations to Shanti Pereira for winning gold in the women’s 200m at the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2023!

Prizes for the winning team are bags of rice, fish, and ducks .... This year, the “Village Basketball Association (Village BA)” at Taipan village in Guizhou has greatly caught people's attention. The final game of the Guizhou country basketball league, known as “village BA”, took place on March 27 and Team Qiandongnan won the Championship Cup. Most of the players were farmers from local villages and nearby cities. Besides the exciting matches on the court, the most eye-catching spaces in Taipan were courtside. More than 30,000 people from across the country poured into the tiny village, which has a population of about 1,200. A single spot was hard to get. “Many people even wear adult diapers (纸尿裤) so they can sit for hours in the stands. Ladders were also sold out that day,” Wu Xiaolong, a 31-year-old local man, told Teens. Since 2016, the local government has worked hard to build new standard basketball courts to support basketball development. Zeng Jinlong, a 17-year-old villager, has been watching the games since he was 6 years old. Over the years, “the courts have become standard as backboards (篮板) have turned from wood into glass and the floor material from cement (水泥) to rubber, “ he told Teens. Taipan has now become a model place of rural vitalization (乡村振兴) driven by sports and tourism. In the summer of 2022, around 500,000 visitors came to the village to watch the preliminary rounds (预赛) of the “Village BA”, which brought tourism revenue (收入) of more than 40 million yuan, reported Xinhua. The event has also encouraged more people to take part in sports.

The 23-year-old young man is known for his aggressive (侵略性的) left-handed playing style.

They used the classic “rabbit strategy (策略)”. This strategy usually needs teamwork of two skaters. One skater sprints (冲刺) from the start, while the other stays behind. This is different from the usual 1500m speed skating strategy of keeping an average (平均) pace and then speeding up in the last few laps (圈). Using the “rabbit strategy”, after the first turn, Yang suddenly skated at full speed. She then quickly lapped (领先一圈) the other skaters and then stayed at the back of the team. Working with Yang, Li changed between the front and the back in the first half of the race. This made the other skaters wonder who was the real “leading rabbit”. When the referee (裁判) announced there was only one lap to go, everyone except Yang had two laps left. The 1500m presents a great challenge of endurance (耐力) for team members as it is. Using the rabbit strategy makes it even harder. Coach Liu Xiaoliang explained to Beijing News that choosing Yang as the “rabbit” was because of her excellent endurance and quick starts. “To be honest, I wanted to win the gold so much and did whatever I could to prepare for it. I am very happy to finally get it,” Yang told Xinhua after the race. 24．Why does the writer compare the Yang Jinru and Li Jingru to a buck and doe? A．For their game results. B．For their racing speed.

A．Her preparation and excellent continuous speed. B．How much she wanted to win. C．Her starting speed and ability to keep going. D．Her clever strategy and final speed. （22-23九年级上·江苏盐城·期末）The 2022 Qatar World Cup brought us wonderful games and let us see the great show of old legends and the rise of new superstars. Here are three students’ favourite soccer players. Kylian Mbappe, who is a sports hero in France, is the most impressive player in my heart. He won the 2018 World Cup title at the age of 20. He was the highest goal scorer in this World Cup with eight goals. Will he become the new king of soccer? I think so. The reasons are that he trains hard and never gives up when facing difficulty. And he is indeed no solo (单独行动的) artist, either. His spirit of hard work and teamwork cheers me up. Zhao Xuanyu, 14 My deepest impression of the Qatar World Cup belongs to Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina. As a great team, it was surprising when Argentina lost its first game against Saudi Arabia. People started to doubt Messi’s ability. However, Messi didn’t give up. He believed in himself and his teammates. They practiced harder than before and fixed their problems quickly. Finally, Argentina beat Mexico, Poland, Australia, the Netherlands, Croatia and France, and won the World Cup title. From all this, I now believe that where there is a will, there is a way. Huang Yixiang, 15 I’m a huge fan of Luka Modric, the captain of Croatia’s national soccer team. He led his team to win second place in the 2018 Russia World Cup and he won the Ballon d’Or in the same year. At an early age, he was a shepherd (牧羊人) and his country was experiencing war. But he fell in love with soccer. Through his efforts, he became more and more powerful. In the Qatar World Cup, he led his team to third place, but he believes that his country can win a World Cup title in the future. I not only enjoy his wonderful performance, but also his spirit—never give up and always keep his condition. Lu Yunzi, 15 28．Which soccer player is from Croatia? A．Lionel Messi. B．Kylian Mbappe. C．Cristiano Ronaldo. D．Luka Modric. 29．What do the three players have in common? A．They are all from Europe. B．They all won the World Cup title. C．They never give up. D．They are all solo artists. 30．Which of the following is true according to the article? A．Messi always won the game by himself. B．Argentina beat 5 teams in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. C．Luka Modric lived a poor life when he was very young. D．Kylian Mbappe scored 6 goals in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍有“中国蜘蛛侠”之称的竞速攀岩运动员Cao Long的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-floor building?”可知，作者是以问问题来开篇的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The 23-year-old is the third person to have finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) in less than 5 seconds.”以及“People call Cao the ‘fastest man in China’ or ‘Chinese Spider-Man’.”可知，Cao Long因其攀爬成绩而被称为“中国蜘蛛侠”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every time because it’s a highly stressful race where two climbers compete at the same time.
