They are the Phryges, two Phrygian caps (帽子). The red Phrygian cap is also known as liberty (自由) cap. In old times, it was worn in Phrygia, a place in Türkiye now. That was how it got its name. During the French revolution (革命), it became a symbol of liberty. Today it is a common symbol for French people. In the Smurfs (《蓝精灵》), a popular French cartoon, every smurf wears a Phrygian cap. An officer of the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics said they didn’t want to choose an animal or other characters. They wanted something that could stand for an “ideal (理想)”. The Paralympic Phryge has a prosthetic leg (假肢) that goes to the knee. Michael Jeremiasz, a gold winner at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, says the prosthetic leg sends an encouraging (鼓舞人心的) message to disabled people around the world. The two mascots share a motto of “Alone we go faster, but together we go further.” They will help people from all over the world know more about the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics. 1．What are the mascots for the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics?

Their baby was so different. She had no arms and only one healthy leg! This did not stop Lena. She learned to use her feet like hands. She learned to walk with the help of an artificial leg (假肢). She also learned to swim when she was only three years old. She soon was good at it. At age 18, she took part in the National Swedish Games and then got a place in the Swedish swim team. At the World Championship the same year, she took home two gold medals (金牌). In 1988, she went to the Paralympics (残奥会) in Seoul, South Korea. She got 4th place. From 1987 to 1991, Lena studied music in college. After that she started singing to make a living. She became popular in South Korea, Japan and Thailand. In 1996, Lena wrote a book about her life called “Footnotes”. The book is published (被出版) in 14 different languages.

Felicia Grimmmenhag from Sweden doesn’t let anything get in her way, even a life-changing accident. After a serious car accident, Felicia had to depend on a wheelchair to get around. However, she didn’t quit trying to achieve her dream. She wanted to get back on the horse. It was her dream to be a top horse rider. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to. But after ten weeks’ training, she could ride once again. “The horses have meant a lot to me,” Felicia said. She took part in competitions around the world. Last year, she won silver at the Tokyo Paralympics (残奥会). This year, at 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympics, another girl—Zhang Mengqiu, a Chinese skier, also made her dream come true. She won China’s first Alpine skiing gold on March 6, 2022. Zhang has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and was introduced to Alpine skiing in 2016 and joined the national team a year later. Because of her physical disadvantage, Zhang is a little slower than others and needs to put in more hours in practice to learn the sport’s skills.

He used his feet to serve（发球）and his mouth to hold the bat, which touched lots of people. In 1973, Hamato was born in a small village in Egypt. At the age of 10, he lost both his arms in a train accident. For Hamato, the most difficult time was the first year after the accident. Later, he slowly accepted the fact and began to try to heal（治愈）himself with exercise. At that time, only table tennis and football were available（可获得的）in the village. He first tried football. But it was hard for him to keep balance（平衡）without arms. Until he saw someone playing table tennis, he decided to give it a try. For people without arms, it is not an easy thing to take care of themselves in daily life, let alone（更别说）play table tennis with their mouth. But Hamato did it. After years of practicing, he has taken part in many important matches. In 2013, Hamato won a prize in the African Disabled Championships. At the 2014 World Table Tennis Championships, Hamato took part in the match as a guest. In 2016, he took part in the Paralympic Games for the first time, at the age of 42. Hamato not only sticks to（坚持）playing table tennis but also tries to help more people like him. After the Rio Paralympics ended, he began teaching two armless boys like him to play table tennis in Egypt. He wanted to use his experience to help them move toward a brighter life. 1．Why did Hamato receive worldwide attention? A．Because he lost his arms. B．Because he won the gold medal.

D．When in Rome（罗马）, do as Romans（罗马人）do. 5 Jessica Long, a 29-year-old American swimmer, won four medals at the Tokyo Paralympic Games（残奥会）. For years, the Games have given her the chance to compete at the highest level, and something to look forward to every four years. “Since 12, when I won my first gold in Athens, I’ve had a wish to let more people know what the Paralympic Games are,” says Jessica, who lost her lower legs when she was a baby because of illness. Participation（参加）in the Paralympics is at an all-time high at the Tokyo games. But they are relatively new to most people. As early as 1888, some deaf athletes created their own sports clubs in Berlin, Germany. But the idea of competitions for disabled athletes didn’t spread widely until World War Ⅱ, when it became a way to help the injured. Ludwig Guttmann, a doctor in Great Britain, was the leader of the movement. He believed that participating in sports would be a good form of mental and physical recovery（康复）. In 1948, on the same day as the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games in London, Guttmann organized the first contest for disabled athletes, which he named the International Wheelchair Games. Sixteen people in wheelchairs competed in archery（射箭）during the games. Then the games became an annual event. And in 1952, the Netherlands sent a team, making the competition international. In 1960, the games officially became the Paralympic Games. That year, more than 400 athletes with disabilities from 23 countries got together at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. They competed in archery, basketball, swimming and other events. Since then, the Paralympics have been held at once after the Olympics in the same host city. For people like Jessica, the Games are a gift. “I don’t know where life is going to take me,” Jessica says, “but the Paralympics have given me this wild, amazing journey.” 1．What is Jessica Long’s long-time hope according to the passage? A．To win more medals at the Paralympics. B．To make the Paralympics known to the public. C．To get all the disabled take part in the Paralympics. D．To pay more attention to athletes at the Paralympics. 2．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Jessica’s legs. B．Deaf athletes. C．The Olympics. D．The Paralympics. 3．What does the author mainly try to tell us in the last paragraph? A．Jessica is going on a nice journey in Japan. B．Life is really hard for all the disabled people. C．Athletes will get some gifts in the Paralympics. D．The Paralympics mean a lot to disabled athletes. 6 Jessica Long is the youngest person to win a Paralympic medal (残奥会奖牌). Her road to success is not easy. Jessica was born (出生) with a serious problem with her legs. When she was just 18 months old, she lost the parts of her legs below the knees. Jessica learned to walk with man-made legs. But that didn’t stop her love for sports. As a child, she learned to do different kinds of sports like skating, biking and climbing. Jessica began swimming at her grandparents’ house before she started competitive swimming. She was really good at swimming and fell in love with it. Many people encouraged her to take part in the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece. She won 3 gold medals in swimming at age 12! She was the youngest person on the U.S. Paralympic Team to ever do so. But she did not rest on her success. Jessica won 23 medals in all for the USA at the Paralympics! Jessica’s attitude (态度) and hard work are the key to her success. Jessica always believes she can do anything. She always gives 110%. She is always learning. And she never allows herself to give up. As she says, “The only disability (缺陷) in life is a negative (消极的) attitude.” 1．Jessica lost the parts of her legs below the knees ________. A．at an early age B．when she was born C．in the primary school D．during the competition 2．Jessica loved ________ when she was a child. A．art B．sports C．reading D．cooking 3．Jessica began swimming ________.

The Winter Paralympics (残疾人运动会）will begin a month later. Let’s meet the mascots（吉祥物）! I’m Bing Dwen Dwen. I’m the mascot of the 2022 Winter Olympics. I am a black and white panda wearing a full-body “shell” made of ice. The red heart shape in my left palm(手心）means welcoming the friends from other countries.

Grimes attended the Paralympics (残奥会) in Tokyo, as the only woman in the British wheelchair rugby (橄榄球) team. This was Grimes’s third Paralympics. She stood for her country in wheelchair rugby team at 2012 London, and competed in Rio 2016 in Brazil. Grimes said that it’s good to be back to play wheelchair rugby. “I am a big team player and love team sports,” she said. “Wheelchair rugby is known for its speed, its actions and with lots of knocks. That’s what drew me to the sport!” Grimes is passionate about sport and she loves sport as her life. She has always wanted to stand for the Great Britain to win the prize, and she dreamed of stepping on the stage of the world all the time. She started playing wheelchair rugby in 2008 after an accident at a swimming pool, which resulted in a terrible injury (伤害). “The injury was a challenge on the road of sport,” Grimes said. “Sport has been around my whole life, even before the accident. It taught me lessons that if you want something, you’ve got to work for it.” She believes that the sport taught her and helped her through her accident. “Don’t ever be worried by a knock back. Don’t ever be worried by a setback (挫析). All of that will make you strong,” she said. “There is no such thing as a failure in life: you’re learning all the time. You’ll get there.” 1．Why did Grimes choose wheelchair rugby? A．Because she loved team sports. B．Because her coach gave her this advice. C．Because she played rugby well before the injury.

C．April showers bring May flowers (苦尽甘来). D．Actions speak louder than words (事实胜于雄辩). 9 It is hard to run when you can’t see the road. But David Brown has made it. The 27-year-old man is the fastest blind (失明的) runner in the world. He set a record (纪录) by running 100 meters in less than 11 seconds. How is that possible? That’s because Brown does not run alone. He always runs with a running guide who can see. Jerome Avery is Brown’s eye when he is running. The two men started training together in 2014. It was hard for both of them at first. Avery had guided several runners and won many games, but it still took him weeks to make Brown completely believe in him. “It’s really hard to put in words how much you have to believe in somebody when you can’t see anything,” Brown said. “You need somebody else to help.” After years of training, Brown and Avery can run together now. They connect their fingers, and their legs and arms move at the same time. Brown was not blind when he was born. At the age of 13 he was ill and couldn’t see any more. He played sports in school and years later made it to the 2012 Olympics in London. David Brown, known for years as the fastest blind man in the world, lost the Paralympic champion (残奥会冠军), he seemed fine about it, saying after he finished that he had known for a while that he was training for the Paris Games in 2024. 1．From Paragraph 1, we know that David Brown is good at ________.

He felt very sad at first and didn’t want to leave his room. However, he found that being in water gave him a feeling of coolness and comfort, which helped him forget his physical disabilities.

Can you picture how strong people will be if they have dreams? Felicia Grimmmenhag from Sweden doesn’t let anything get in her way, even a life-changing accident. After a serious car accident, Felicia had to depend on a wheelchair to get around. However, she didn’t quit trying to achieve her dream. She wanted to get back on the horse. It was her dream to be a top horse rider. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to. But after ten weeks’ training, she could ride once again. “The horses have meant a lot to me,” Felicia said. She took part in competitions around the world. Last year, she won silver at the Tokyo Paralympics (残奥会). This year, at 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympics, another girl—Zhang Mengqiu, a Chinese skier, also made her dream come true. She won China’s first Alpine skiing gold on March 6, 2022. Zhang has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and was introduced to Alpine skiing in 2016 and joined the national team a year later. Because of her physical disadvantage, Zhang is a little slower than others and needs to put in more hours in practice to learn the sport’s skills.

For years, the Games have given her the chance to compete at the highest level, and something to look forward to every four years. “Since 12, when I won my first gold in Athens, I’ve had a wish to let more people know what the Paralympic Games are,” says Jessica, who lost her lower legs when she was a baby because of illness. Participation（参加）in the Paralympics is at an all-time high at the Tokyo games. But they are relatively new to most people. As early as 1888, some deaf athletes created their own sports clubs in Berlin, Germany. But the idea of competitions for disabled athletes didn’t spread widely until World War Ⅱ, when it became a way to help the injured. Ludwig Guttmann, a doctor in Great Britain, was the leader of the movement. He believed that participating in sports would be a good form of mental and physical recovery（康复）. In 1948, on the same day as the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games in London, Guttmann organized the first contest for disabled athletes, which he named the International Wheelchair Games. Sixteen people in wheelchairs competed in archery（射箭）during the games. Then the games became an annual event. And in 1952, the Netherlands sent a team, making the competition international. In 1960, the games officially became the Paralympic Games. That year, more than 400 athletes with disabilities from 23 countries got together at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. They competed in archery, basketball, swimming and other events. Since then, the Paralympics have been held at once after the Olympics in the same host city. For people like Jessica, the Games are a gift. “I don’t know where life is going to take me,” Jessica says, “but the Paralympics have given me this wild, amazing journey.” 1．What is Jessica Long’s long-time hope according to the passage? A．To win more medals at the Paralympics. B．To make the Paralympics known to the public. C．To get all the disabled take part in the Paralympics.

The 27-year-old man is the fastest blind (失明的) runner in the world. He set a record (纪录) by running 100 meters in less than 11 seconds. How is that possible? That’s because Brown does not run alone. He always runs with a running guide who can see. Jerome Avery is Brown’s eye when he is running. The two men started training together in 2014. It was hard for both of them at first.

They connect their fingers, and their legs and arms move at the same time. Brown was not blind when he was born. At the age of 13 he was ill and couldn’t see any more. He played sports in school and years later made it to the 2012 Olympics in London.
