Unit3 Faster, Higher, Stronger阅读完形训练 - 2024-2025学年高二英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019选择性必修第一册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1. Pan Zhanle of China broke his own world record on the way to winning the men’s 100-meter freestyle Wednesday night, finishing in 46.40 seconds for his country’s first swimming gold medal of the Paris Olympics. That mark topped his 46.80 swum at the February world championships in Doha. “It was a magical moment, really magical,” Pan said. “The record was not just for the Chinese team, but for the world. This is a small step by breaking this record.” In perhaps the most ferocious race in swimming, the 19-year-old Pan edged Kyle Chalmers of Australia, who clocked a 47.48 for silver and Romanian bronze medalist David Popovici in 47.49. No world marks had been broken through the first four days in the pool at the Paris Games. Chalmers won gold in the 100 free in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, and was the silver medalist three years ago in Tokyo behind American Caeleb Dressel. Dressel did not qualify this time. Pan has not been implicated in any of the doping allegations that have surrounded the Chinese swimming team in the run-up to the Olympics. Chinese swimmers in Paris have pushed back strongly against those accusations and say they have been tested more frequently in recent months, sometimes three or four times a week. Pan was asked about the testing and said it all seemed routine to him. “This was standard,” he said. “The tests were done under all the regulations. I don’t think it influenced my performance.” WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, put out a statement on Tuesday in response to food contamination scenarios being used to clear athletes who test positive. “WADA is generally concerned about the number of cases that are being closed without sanction when it is not possible to challenge the contamination theory,” the statement said. “There have been many cases of positive tests that were eventually closed without sanction as no-fault violations, sometimes with unusual methods of contamination.” WADA said it was also concerned about similar cases in the United States. 1．What is the main achievement highlighted in the article? A．Pan Zhanle winning a gold medal in the men’s 100-meter freestyle. B．Kyle Chalmers winning silver in the men’s 100-meter freestyle. C．David Popovici setting a new world record. D．The Chinese swimming team winning multiple medals. 2．What was Pan Zhanle’s record-breaking time in the 100-meter freestyle? A．46.80 seconds B．47.48 seconds C．47.49 seconds D．46.40 seconds 3．Which swimmer won the silver medal in the men’s 100-meter freestyle event? A．Pan Zhanle B．Kyle Chalmers C．avid Popovici D．Caeleb Dressel 4．What was the concern raised by WADA in its recent statement? A．The frequency of doping tests on athletes. B．The handling of food contamination cases leading to positive tests. C．The lack of new world records in swimming. D．The performance of athletes under doping allegations. Passage2. On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title. Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage. In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally（残酷地）competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years. He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an asset（资产）that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the rehab （康复）wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.” 1．What did he first start playing tennis for? A．Winning awards. B．Developing an interest. C．Killing time. D．Becoming thinner. 2．Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years? A．He wanted to change his career. B．He suffered from serious physical injuries. C．He didn’t stand out in training for the match. D．He can’t handle the pressure of the ATP Tour. 3．What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement? A．No cross, no crown. B．Well begun is half done. C．More haste, less speed. D．Time waits for no man. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．The Development of Chinese Tennis B．The Power of Difficulties for Athletes C．The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport D．The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Passage3. From Paris 1924 to Paris 2024, What’s New and What Remains PARIS, July 25 (Xinhua) — The year 2024 marks the third time that Paris has hosted the Olympic Games. The first was in 1900 and the last was a century ago in 1924. Since then, the world has changed dramatically. NUMBER OF ATHLETES AND THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE Paris 1924 featured 3,089 athletes, 135 women and 2,954 men, many of whom were accommodated in the first Olympic Village. At Paris 2024, 10,500 competitors are expected to compete, with women and men in equal numbers. The Olympic Village for the 2024 Games is located five minutes from the Saint-Denis stadium, seven kilometers from the center of the French capital. COUNTRIES (REGIONS) PARTICIPATING IN EACH EDITION There were 44 National Olympic Committees ( NOCs) represented at Paris 1924. Ecuador, Ireland, Lithuania, Philippines, Uruguay, Latvia and Poland sent delegations for the first time. In 2024, more than 200 national and regional Olympic committees will take part in the Games, in addition to the Refugee Olympic Team. SPORTS IN EACH EDITION With 17 sports and 126 medal events, the Paris 1924 Games lasted nearly three months, between May 4 and July 27, far longer than nowadays editions which are about two weeks. The upcoming Paris 2024 will run from July 26 to August 11 with nearly doubled number of sports: 32 in total — and 329 me dal events. 1．When was the first Olympic Village adopted? A．1900. B．1924. C．2004. D．2024. 2．Which aspect of the Olympics is not mentioned in the passage? A．The number of sports. B．The duration of the Games. C．The names of newly added events. D．The location of the Olympic Village. 3．Where is the passage probably taken from! A．An advertisement. B．A guidebook. C．A news report. D．A textbook. Passage4. Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflected the city’s culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests. For teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Lakers name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1947, team officials changed the name to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota State’s nickname, “Land of 10,000 Lakes”. The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960. Because the Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the “Jazz Capital of the World”. The name stayed with the team even after they found a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979. The original owner of the Chicago Bulls, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. The Bulls, the winner of the six NBA championships, has definitely followed the belief. In 1967, the Indiana Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to achieve in the NBA . Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace” in professional basketball. 1．Why is the Los Angeles’ team named “the Lakers”? A．The name was selected from a“Name the Team” contest. B．The name shows that Los Angeles is a city with various lakes. C．It was named after a city treasure, which had a long history. D．The team got this name in another state, which had a lot of lakes. 2．Which of the following refers to the “Jazz Capital of the World”? A．New Orleans. B．Salt Lake City. C．Los Angeles. D．Minneapolis. 3．What does the underline word refer to ? A．Tired. B．Perseverant. C．Restless. D．Tough. 4．Why did Richard Klein name the Chicago’s team the Bulls? A．He had guessed the success of the team. B．People in Chicago used to like watching bullfighting. C．He wished the team to have the qualities of fighting bulls. D．Chicago was then a city famous for fighting bulls. Passage5. Every time Oksana Chusovitina competes in a gymnastics (体操) event, she is in the spotlight. The Hangzhou Asian Games proved no exception. When the 48-year-old Uzbek gymnast appeared in the Asiad women’s gymnastics qualification (资格赛) at Huanglong Gymnasium, thousands of people called for “Qiu Ma”, which translates to “Mother Chusovitina”. A lot of reporters waited in the mixed zone, hoping for an interview opportunity. “I’m touched by Chusovitina’s story. She tried to save her son and just never gave up,” said Zhang Anqi, a Hangzhou local who attended the event. “I am lucky to see her here in my home city. She is beautiful both as an athlete and as a mother,” Zhang added. After completing her vault (跳马), Chusovitina blew a kiss to the audience and formed a “heart” with her hands. “It is the love and support of the people that keep me going and give me the strength to achieve more,” Chusovitina said.“I am not very satisfied with my performance tonight. Actually, I was a little over-excited,” she added. Chusovitina has a storied history at the Asian Games, having won eight medals, including two golds in 2002. This year, she’s targeting a medal in the vault. “I will increase the difficulty in the final,” she shared. When Chusovitina’s son was found to have leukemia (白血病) in 2002, she accepted German nationality and competed at global events for a higher income and better medical treatment. Her heartfelt words, “I dare not grow old until you are well,” touched many people. After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued her gymnastics journey out of deep love for the sport. Though she announced her retirement after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, she decided to return shortly after. “The biggest motivation (动力) is my desire. I want to perform. I love gymnastics.

In a village in Senegal, dozens of teenagers in colorful shorts are throwing each other to the ground against a backdrop of palm trees. It’s a common sight across Senegal. But in most of the country, wrestling remains off-limits for women. There is one exception. In the Casamance region, home to the Jola ethnic group, women traditionally wrestle alongside men. At a recent training session in Mlomp, most teenagers on the sandy ground were girls. “It’s in our blood,” said coach Isabelle Sambou, 43, a two-time Olympian and nine-time African wrestling champion. “In my village, girls wrestle. My mum was a wrestler and my aunts were wrestlers.” But once Jola women marry, they are expected to stop practicing and devote themselves to family life, which is regarded as the main duty of Senegalese women. That hasn’t been the case for Sambou, who, despite her humble behavior and small size, displays strength and determination. She overcame barriers to become a professional athlete. As a teenager, Sambo u was noticed by a professional wrestling coach at a competition during the annual Festival of the King of Oussouye, one of the few events accessible to women. The coach suggested that she try Olympic wrestling. Wrestling brought Sambou to the Olympic Games in London and Rio de Janeiro, where she placed outside the medal contenders (争夺者). But being a successful professional female athlete in a conservative society comes with a price. Sambou recalled her experiences in parts of Senegal beyond her home region and said, “When I walked around in shorts, people were saying, ‘Look, is it a woman or is it a boy?’” In 2016, facing her mid-30s, Sambou decided to retire and move back to her village. “I thought it was time to think of something else, maybe finding a job or starting a family,” she said. “But that hasn’t happened so far.” Instead, she is focused on finding “future Isabelles”. She hopes the girls she coaches can achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal. 1．What does the text say about wrestling in Senegal? A．It’s a male-dominated sport. B．It’s only teenager-targeted. C．It requires strict formal training. D．It remains illegal for women. 2．What happened to Sambou’s mother after she got married? A．She gave up wrestling. B．She tried Olympic wrestling. C．She became a wrestling coach. D．She started practicing wrestling. 3．What is a barrier facing Sambou as a wrestler? A．Having no access to training. B．Being opposed by her family. C．Having no competitions to enter. D．Being laughed at for her gender. 4．What is Sambou’s current dream? A．To devote herself to her kids. B．To win medals as a wrestler. C．To find a job outside her village. D．To coach future Olympic medalists. Passage9. From the relative obscurity of being ranked 14th in the world in 2022 to almost becoming the new Olympic champions, China’s women’s hockey team confidently announced its arrival at the towering level of the sport when it equaled its Olympic best performance and finished runners-up in Paris. Entering the knockout stage as its group’s lowest-ranked qualifier, the Chinese women’s team proved it deserves as much respect as all the other world-class competitors when it almost managed to knock defending champions the Netherlands off its golden throne in the final. Almost, and to be precise, the victory was just eight minutes away. After starting the final with an early goal in the sixth minute by forward Chen Yi, Team China, the sixth-ranked team in the world at the start of the tournament, had to fall back and defend as the Netherlands piled on the pressure throughout the following three quarters, forcing China to resist its surging attacks with a brave collective effort. The top-ranked Netherlands team eventually scored a 52nd-minute equalizer, with Yibbi Jansen netting via a penalty corner and leveling the score close to the end of the 60-minutes of regulation time. Having already survived a shootout in the knock-out stage during its semifinal win against Belgium, Team China ran out of luck after scoring only one of its five attempts while conceding three goals, losing 3-1 in the tiebreaker. Applauded by its opponents and cheered on by many of the orange-clad fans on the stands, the Chinese team jumped onto the podium during the medal ceremony as proud as the winners on the top step. It was all about honor and pride, instead of disappointment and frustration, said Team China’s head coach Alyson Annan. “We came so close. It was just a near miss that we felt a little bit regretful. But we are so proud to give the sport another opportunity to be seen and be followed,” said Team China’s captain Ou Zixia. 1．What do we know about Team China？ A．It ranked the lowest in all competing teams.

D．Recreational. 4．What can be inferred from the captain’s words？ A．The players were close friends. B．They nearly missed the match. C．The sport might attract more attention. D．They had another opportunity to compete. Passage10. On April 14th, Jason wrote in his blog: I did it! I just completed my first ultramarathon (超级马拉松). I’m feeling tired and suffering a pain in my feet. But I’m really proud of myself. I didn’t think I could do it. I’ve only been running long-distance for three years. I’ve completed five normal marathons (which are 42 km) but this was much harder than they were. This race was 140 km and it took place over two days. I was very tired after yesterday’s run, but I had to run for seven hours again today! I think the most important thing for me is to get the speed right. If I go too fast, I don’t have enough energy for the end of the race. If I go too slowly, all the other runners leave me behind, and it feels like I’ll never catch up with them. My family can’t understand why I like it. I didn’t like team sport in high school. But long- distance running is different. It’s a challenge. I like pushing myself to do better. I’m not trying to finish first. All I want is to do a better time with each run. And of course, the other good thing is that I’ve raised quite a lot of money for charity with this ultramarathon. I would like to express a big “thank you” to all my friends and family who agreed to give money to the Red Cross. I'm going to do it again next year. Maybe I’ll be able to raise even more! 1．How many normal marathons has Jason completed? A．Five. B．Six. C．Seven. D．Eight. 2．What is the most important thing for Jason in the race of ultramarathon? A．To run fast all the time. B．To save energy for the next race. C．To get the speed right. D．To leave the other runners behind. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Family party. B．Team sport. C．High school. D．Long- distance running. 4．Why did Jason run the ultramarathon? A．To keep healthy and become famous. B．To earn money and live a better life. C．To get a big “thank you” and make friends. D．To challenge himself and raise money for charity. 5．Which of the following can best describe Jason? A．Funny and warm- hearted. B．Polite and easy- going. C．Caring and strong- minded. D．Humorous and hard- working. 二、完形填空 Passage1. Hearing the Olympics were coming to Vancouver, I decided to go for its voluntary work.

Pan Zhanle of China broke his own world record on the way to winning the men’s 100-meter freestyle Wednesday night, finishing in 46.40 seconds for his country’s first swimming gold medal of the Paris Olympics. That mark topped his 46.80 swum at the February world championships in Doha. “It was a magical moment, really magical,” Pan said. “The record was not just for the Chinese team, but for the world. This is a small step by breaking this record.” In perhaps the most ferocious race in swimming, the 19-year-old Pan edged Kyle Chalmers of Australia, who clocked a 47.48 for silver and Romanian bronze medalist David Popovici in 47.49. No world marks had been broken through the first four days in the pool at the Paris Games. Chalmers won gold in the 100 free in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, and was the silver medalist three years ago in Tokyo behind American Caeleb Dressel. Dressel did not qualify this time. Pan has not been implicated in any of the doping allegations that have surrounded the Chinese swimming team in the run-up to the Olympics. Chinese swimmers in Paris have pushed back strongly against those accusations and say they have been tested more frequently in recent months, sometimes three or four times a week. Pan was asked about the testing and said it all seemed routine to him. “This was standard,” he said. “The tests were done under all the regulations. I don’t think it influenced my performance.” WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, put out a statement on Tuesday in response to food contamination scenarios being used to clear athletes who test positive. “WADA is generally concerned about the number of cases that are being closed without sanction when it is not possible to challenge the contamination theory,” the statement said. “There have been many cases of positive tests that were eventually closed without sanction as no-fault violations, sometimes with unusual methods of contamination.” WADA said it was also concerned about similar cases in the United States. 1．What is the main achievement highlighted in the article? A．Pan Zhanle winning a gold medal in the men’s 100-meter freestyle. B．Kyle Chalmers winning silver in the men’s 100-meter freestyle. C．David Popovici setting a new world record. D．The Chinese swimming team winning multiple medals. 2．What was Pan Zhanle’s record-breaking time in the 100-meter freestyle? A．46.80 seconds B．47.48 seconds C．47.49 seconds D．46.40 seconds 3．Which swimmer won the silver medal in the men’s 100-meter freestyle event? A．Pan Zhanle B．Kyle Chalmers C．avid Popovici D．Caeleb Dressel 4．What was the concern raised by WADA in its recent statement? A．The frequency of doping tests on athletes. B．The handling of food contamination cases leading to positive tests. C．The lack of new world records in swimming. D．The performance of athletes under doping allegations. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国选手潘展乐在巴黎奥运会男子100米自由泳项目中打破世界纪录并夺得金牌的事迹，以及世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）对于运动员食品污染问题的关注。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Pan Zhanle of China broke his own world record on the way to winning the men’s 100-meter freestyle Wednesday night, finishing in 46.40 seconds for his country’s first swimming gold medal of the Paris Olympics.(周三晚上，中国选手潘展乐在夺得男子100米自由泳金牌的过程中打破了自己的世界纪录，以46.40秒的成绩为中国队赢得了巴黎奥运会的首枚游泳金牌)”可知，文章强调的主要成就是中国选手潘展乐在巴黎奥运会男子100米自由泳项目中打破世界纪录并夺得金牌。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Pan Zhanle of China broke his own world record on the way to winning the men’s 100-meter freestyle Wednesday night, finishing in 46.40 seconds for his country’s first swimming gold medal of the Paris Olympics.(周三晚上，中国选手潘展乐在夺得男子100米自由泳金牌的过程中打破了自己的世界纪录，以46.40秒的成绩为中国队赢得了巴黎奥运会的首枚游泳金牌)”可知，潘展乐在100米自由泳中打破世界纪录的时间是46.40秒。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In perhaps the most ferocious race in swimming, the 19-year-old Pan edged Kyle Chalmers of Australia, who clocked a 47.48 for silver and Romanian bronze medalist David Popovici in 47.49.(在可能是游泳比赛中最激烈的一场比赛中，19岁的潘展乐险胜澳大利亚选手凯尔·查尔默斯，后者以47.48秒的成绩获得银牌，罗马尼亚选手大卫·波波维奇以47.49秒的成绩获得铜牌)”可知，在男子100米自由泳比赛中获得银牌的是澳大利亚选手凯尔·查尔默斯。故选B项。 4．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, put out a statement on Tuesday in response to food contamination scenarios being used to clear athletes who test positive.(世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）周二发表声明，对使用食品污染情况来为检测呈阳性的运动员开脱表示回应)”以及最后一段“‘There have been many cases of positive tests that were eventually closed without sanction as no-fault violations, sometimes with unusual methods of contamination.’ WADA said it was also concerned about similar cases in the United States.(‘有许多检测呈阳性的案例最终被无制裁地结案，因为这些违规行为并非故意，有时是由于不寻常的污染方法。’WADA还表示，它也关注美国发生的类似案例)”可知，WADA在其最近的声明中提出的担忧是处理导致检测呈阳性的食品污染案件。故选B项。 Passage2. On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title. Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage. In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally（残酷地）competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years. He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an asset（资产）that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the rehab （康复）wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.” 1．What did he first start playing tennis for? A．Winning awards. B．Developing an interest. C．Killing time. D．Becoming thinner. 2．Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years? A．He wanted to change his career. B．He suffered from serious physical injuries. C．He didn’t stand out in training for the match. D．He can’t handle the pressure of the ATP Tour. 3．What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement? A．No cross, no crown. B．Well begun is half done. C．More haste, less speed. D．Time waits for no man. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．The Development of Chinese Tennis B．The Power of Difficulties for Athletes C．The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport D．The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了吴易昺夺得了 ATP 巡回赛冠军， 创中国网球新历史。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight”（五岁的时候，他第一次被带到网球场，最初他的父母鼓励他做一项减肥运动）可知，他最初打网球是为了变瘦。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“However, the brutally（残酷地）competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries — to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.”（然而，男子职业网球残酷的竞争特性打击了正处于上升期的吴易昺，他的肘部、下背部、肩膀和手腕多处受伤， 这迫使他离开 ATP 巡回赛近三年。）可知， 因为参加职业网球残酷的竞争，使得吴易昺受伤严重， 这迫使他离开 ATP 巡回赛近三年。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an asset（资产）that helps me mature mentally now,” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the rehab （康复）wasn’t going well. The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.” （吴易昺表示，如果不是过去几年的起起伏伏，他就不会站在这里。他把所有的挫折和挣扎都视为一种帮助他在精神上成熟起来的财富。当然还有很多质疑的声音，因为他做了手术，且康复治疗进行得不太顺利。但今天的冠军是对他所有努力和每一位支持者的回报。）由此可知，此处他的表达给我们的启发是：没有过去辛勤的付出，就不会有今天的收获。A项No cross, no crown.意为“没有付出就没有收获”； B 项Well begun is half done.意为“好的开端是成功的一半”； C 项More haste, less speed.意为“趁热打铁”； D 项Time waits for no man.意为“时不待人”。A项符合文意。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。第一段提到“On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP title.”（2023年2月13日，吴易昺创造了历史，在一场激动人心的达拉斯公开赛决赛中击败了约翰·伊斯内尔，成为第一位获得ATP冠军的中国人。）第二段提到了他开始进行网球运动的契机和取得的成绩。第三段提到了他因受伤而退出ATP比赛，最后一段则提到了他为了付出而所做的奴努力。通读全文，文章主要介绍了年少成名的网球运动员吴易昺由于严重受伤退出了 ATP 比赛，在经历三年的治疗康复后，最终复出，创造了中国网球的新历史。D项“The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Title”（中国第一个男子ATP冠军）符合文意，可用作文章标题。故选D。 Passage3. From Paris 1924 to Paris 2024, What’s New and What Remains PARIS, July 25 (Xinhua) — The year 2024 marks the third time that Paris has hosted the Olympic Games. The first was in 1900 and the last was a century ago in 1924. Since then, the world has changed dramatically. NUMBER OF ATHLETES AND THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE Paris 1924 featured 3,089 athletes, 135 women and 2,954 men, many of whom were accommodated in the first Olympic Village. At Paris 2024, 10,500 competitors are expected to compete, with women and men in equal numbers. The Olympic Village for the 2024 Games is located five minutes from the Saint-Denis stadium, seven kilometers from the center of the French capital. COUNTRIES (REGIONS) PARTICIPATING IN EACH EDITION There were 44 National Olympic Committees ( NOCs) represented at Paris 1924. Ecuador, Ireland, Lithuania, Philippines, Uruguay, Latvia and Poland sent delegations for the first time. In 2024, more than 200 national and regional Olympic committees will take part in the Games, in addition to the Refugee Olympic Team. SPORTS IN EACH EDITION With 17 sports and 126 medal events, the Paris 1924 Games lasted nearly three months, between May 4 and July 27, far longer than nowadays editions which are about two weeks. The upcoming Paris 2024 will run from July 26 to August 11 with nearly doubled number of sports: 32 in total — and 329 me dal events. 1．When was the first Olympic Village adopted? A．1900. B．1924. C．2004. D．2024. 2．Which aspect of the Olympics is not mentioned in the passage? A．The number of sports. B．The duration of the Games. C．The names of newly added events. D．The location of the Olympic Village. 3．Where is the passage probably taken from! A．An advertisement. B．A guidebook. C．A news report. D．A textbook. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是1924巴黎奥运会年到2024年巴黎奥运会的不同之处。 1．细节理解题。根据NUMBER OF ATHLETES AND THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE部分中的“Paris 1924 featured 3,089 athletes, 135 women and 2,954 men, many of whom were accommodated in the first Olympic Village.(1924年巴黎奥运会共有3089名运动员参加，其中135名女运动员和2954名男运动员，其中许多人住在第一个奥运村)”可知，1924年巴黎奥运会中，有许多人住在第一个奥运村，所以第一个奥运村是在1924年采用的。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据SPORTS IN EACH EDITION部分中的“With 17 sports and 126 medal events, the Paris 1924 Games lasted nearly three months, between May 4 and July 27, far longer than nowadays editions which are about two weeks.(1924年巴黎奥运会共有17个大项和126个奖牌项目，从5月4日持续到7月27日，持续了近3个月，远远超过了现在的两周)”可知，1924年的巴黎奥运会有17个大项和126个奖牌项目，持续时间近3个月，所以文章提到了运动项目和持续时间，结合NUMBER OF ATHLETES AND THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE部分中的“The Olympic Village for the 2024 Games is located five minutes from the Saint-Denis stadium, seven kilometers from the center of the French capital.( 2024年奥运会的奥运村距离圣丹尼斯体育场5分钟路程，距离法国首都市中心7公里)”可知，2024年奥运会的奥运村距离圣丹尼斯体育场5分钟路程，所以本文提到了奥运村的位置，综上信息可知，文章中没有提到的是“新增运动项目的名称”。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据首段中的“PARIS, July 25 (Xinhua) — The year 2024 marks the third time that Paris has hosted the Olympic Games.(巴黎，7月25日（新华社）——2024年是巴黎第三次举办奥运会)”可知，本文是来自于新华社7月25日的报道，所以本文应是来自于新闻报道。故选C项。 Passage4. Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflected the city’s culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests. For teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Lakers name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1947, team officials changed the name to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota State’s nickname, “Land of 10,000 Lakes”. The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960. Because the Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the “Jazz Capital of the World”. The name stayed with the team even after they found a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979. The original owner of the Chicago Bulls, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. The Bulls, the winner of the six NBA championships, has definitely followed the belief. In 1967, the Indiana Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to achieve in the NBA . Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace” in professional basketball. 1．Why is the Los Angeles’ team named “the Lakers”? A．The name was selected from a“Name the Team” contest. B．The name shows that Los Angeles is a city with various lakes. C．It was named after a city treasure, which had a long history. D．The team got this name in another state, which had a lot of lakes. 2．Which of the following refers to the “Jazz Capital of the World”? A．New Orleans. B．Salt Lake City. C．Los Angeles. D．Minneapolis. 3．What does the underline word refer to ? A．Tired. B．Perseverant. C．Restless. D．Tough. 4．Why did Richard Klein name the Chicago’s team the Bulls? A．He had guessed the success of the team. B．People in Chicago used to like watching bullfighting. C．He wished the team to have the qualities of fighting bulls. D．Chicago was then a city famous for fighting bulls. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，本文主要介绍NBA球队的队名背后的故事，在后四段里分别介绍了“洛杉矶湖人队、犹他爵士队、芝加哥公牛队和印第安纳步行者队”这四个队名的历史由来。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In1947, team officials changed the name to the Lakers to reflect the Minnesota State’s nickname, “Land of 10,000 Lakes”(在前往洛杉矶之前，该队从明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯出发。1947年，球队官方将球队名称改为湖人队，以反映明尼苏达州的绰号“万湖之乡”。)”可知，湖人队在搬到洛杉矶之前是在明尼苏达的Minneapolis城，这个地方有很多湖泊，由此得名为湖人队，后来才搬到洛杉矶。因此可知，这支球队在另一个有很多湖泊的州获得了这个名字。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Because the Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the “Jazz Capital of the World”.(因为爵士队起源于路易斯安那州的新奥尔良，所以被称为爵士队。1974年，新奥尔良俱乐部官方选择这个名字来代表这座享有“世界爵士乐之都”美誉的城市。)”可知，犹他爵士队原来是在路易斯安娜的新奥尔良市，他们取名爵士是为了纪念新奥尔良市作为世界爵士乐之都的荣耀。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据划线处后“and never quits (永不放弃)”说明斗牛是能坚持的，永不放弃，B：Perseverant(能坚持的，锲而不舍的)合乎题意。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name.(他选择这个名字是因为斗牛是锲而不舍的，永不放弃。Klein在1966年创立了该俱乐部，他相信这些品质对于一支冠军球队来说是必要的，并希望他的芝加哥运动员能够名符其实。)”可推知，Klein选择公牛为名是希望这支球队能够像公牛一样永不放弃追求胜利。故选C。 Passage5. Every time Oksana Chusovitina competes in a gymnastics (体操) event, she is in the spotlight. The Hangzhou Asian Games proved no exception. When the 48-year-old Uzbek gymnast appeared in the Asiad women’s gymnastics qualification (资格赛) at Huanglong Gymnasium, thousands of people called for “Qiu Ma”, which translates to “Mother Chusovitina”.

Her heartfelt words, “I dare not grow old until you are well,” touched many people. After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued her gymnastics journey out of deep love for the sport. Though she announced her retirement after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, she decided to return shortly after. “The biggest motivation (动力) is my desire. I want to perform. I love gymnastics.

The Hangzhou Asian Games proved no exception.(每当Oksana Chusovitina参加体操比赛时，她都是聚光灯下的焦点。杭州亚运会也不例外)”和第二段“When the 48-year-old Uzbek gymnast appeared in the Asiad women’s gymnastics qualification (资格赛) at Huanglong Gymnasium, thousands of people called for “Qiu Ma”, which translates to “Mother Chusovitina”. A lot of reporters waited in the mixed zone, hoping for an interview opportunity.(当这位48岁的乌兹别克体操运动员出现在黄龙体育馆举行的亚洲女子体操资格赛上时，成千上万的人高呼“丘妈”。许多记者在混合区等候，希望得到采访的机会)”可知，Chusovitina很受欢迎，故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I’m touched by Chusovitina’s story. She tried to save her son and just never gave up(我被Chusovitina的故事感动了。她试图救她的儿子，从不放弃)”可知，Zhang认为Chusovitina的故事很感人，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When Chusovitina’s son was found to have leukemia (白血病) in 2002, she accepted German nationality and competed at global events for a higher income and better medical treatment.(2002年，当Chusovitina的儿子被发现患有白血病时，她接受了德国国籍，并参加了国际赛事，以获得更高的收入和更好的医疗服务)”可知，Chusovitina选择代表德国参赛是为了给儿子治病，故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Every time Oksana Chusovitina competes in a gymnastics (体操) event, she is in the spotlight.

For decades, the nation’s players have dominated (主宰) the sport on the world stage. Generation after generation of stars have shone brightly, and now it’s the turn of Generation Z youngsters (Z时代的年轻人) to impress. Born in 2000, Gen-Zer Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname (昵称) “Little Devil” by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive (敏感的) to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. Her parents noticed her interest and encouraged her to give the sport a try. After a few days of training, she found that she really enjoyed it. Later becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream. However, Sun has faced setbacks (挫折) along the way.

In a village in Senegal, dozens of teenagers in colorful shorts are throwing each other to the ground against a backdrop of palm trees. It’s a common sight across Senegal. But in most of the country, wrestling remains off-limits for women. There is one exception. In the Casamance region, home to the Jola ethnic group, women traditionally wrestle alongside men. At a recent training session in Mlomp, most teenagers on the sandy ground were girls. “It’s in our blood,” said coach Isabelle Sambou, 43, a two-time Olympian and nine-time African wrestling champion. “In my village, girls wrestle. My mum was a wrestler and my aunts were wrestlers.” But once Jola women marry, they are expected to stop practicing and devote themselves to family life, which is regarded as the main duty of Senegalese women. That hasn’t been the case for Sambou, who, despite her humble behavior and small size, displays strength and determination. She overcame barriers to become a professional athlete. As a teenager, Sambo u was noticed by a professional wrestling coach at a competition during the annual Festival of the King of Oussouye, one of the few events accessible to women. The coach suggested that she try Olympic wrestling. Wrestling brought Sambou to the Olympic Games in London and Rio de Janeiro, where she placed outside the medal contenders (争夺者). But being a successful professional female athlete in a conservative society comes with a price. Sambou recalled her experiences in parts of Senegal beyond her home region and said, “When I walked around in shorts, people were saying, ‘Look, is it a woman or is it a boy?’” In 2016, facing her mid-30s, Sambou decided to retire and move back to her village. “I thought it was time to think of something else, maybe finding a job or starting a family,” she said. “But that hasn’t happened so far.” Instead, she is focused on finding “future Isabelles”. She hopes the girls she coaches can achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal. 1．What does the text say about wrestling in Senegal? A．It’s a male-dominated sport. B．It’s only teenager-targeted. C．It requires strict formal training. D．It remains illegal for women. 2．What happened to Sambou’s mother after she got married? A．She gave up wrestling. B．She tried Olympic wrestling. C．She became a wrestling coach. D．She started practicing wrestling. 3．What is a barrier facing Sambou as a wrestler? A．Having no access to training. B．Being opposed by her family. C．Having no competitions to enter. D．Being laughed at for her gender. 4．What is Sambou’s current dream? A．To devote herself to her kids. B．To win medals as a wrestler. C．To find a job outside her village. D．To coach future Olympic medalists. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 34．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在塞内加尔这个国家，摔跤是一项男性主导的运动。幸运的是， Isabelle Sambou所在的村子支持女性摔跤，她也在自己的摔跤事业上不断奋进。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“But in most of the country, wrestling remains off-limits for women. (但在这个国家的大部分地区，摔跤仍然是女性的禁区。)”可知，在塞内加尔的大部分地区，摔跤仍然是女性的禁区，即摔跤是一项男性主导的运动。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But once Jola women marry, they are expected to stop practicing and devote themselves to family life, which is regarded as the main duty of Senegalese women. (但是，一旦乔拉妇女结婚，她们就应该停止练习，全身心地投入到家庭生活中，这被视为塞内加尔妇女的主要职责。)”可以推断，Sambou的母亲结婚后放弃了摔跤，选择了家庭生活。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第七段“But being a successful professional female athlete in a conservative society comes with a price. Sambou recalled her experiences in parts of Senegal beyond her home region and said, “When I walked around in shorts, people were saying, ‘Look, is it a woman or is it a boy?’” (但在一个保守的社会里，成为一名成功的职业女运动员是要付出代价的。Sambou回忆起她在家乡以外的塞内加尔部分地区的经历，她说:“当我穿着短裤四处走动时，人们说，‘看，这是一个女人还是一个男孩？’”)”可知，Sambou作为女性摔跤手面临的障碍是因为她的性别而被嘲笑。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Instead, she is focused on finding ‘future Isabelles’. She hopes the girls she coaches can achieve her dream of winning an Olympic medal. (相反，她专注于寻找“未来的伊莎贝尔”。她希望她训练的姑娘们能实现她赢得奥运会奖牌的梦想。)”可知，Sambou现在的梦想是培养未来的奥运会奖牌获得者。故选D。 Passage9. From the relative obscurity of being ranked 14th in the world in 2022 to almost becoming the new Olympic champions, China’s women’s hockey team confidently announced its arrival at the towering level of the sport when it equaled its Olympic best performance and finished runners-up in Paris. Entering the knockout stage as its group’s lowest-ranked qualifier, the Chinese women’s team proved it deserves as much respect as all the other world-class competitors when it almost managed to knock defending champions the Netherlands off its golden throne in the final. Almost, and to be precise, the victory was just eight minutes away. After starting the final with an early goal in the sixth minute by forward Chen Yi, Team China, the sixth-ranked team in the world at the start of the tournament, had to fall back and defend as the Netherlands piled on the pressure throughout the following three quarters, forcing China to resist its surging attacks with a brave collective effort. The top-ranked Netherlands team eventually scored a 52nd-minute equalizer, with Yibbi Jansen netting via a penalty corner and leveling the score close to the end of the 60-minutes of regulation time. Having already survived a shootout in the knock-out stage during its semifinal win against Belgium, Team China ran out of luck after scoring only one of its five attempts while conceding three goals, losing 3-1 in the tiebreaker. Applauded by its opponents and cheered on by many of the orange-clad fans on the stands, the Chinese team jumped onto the podium during the medal ceremony as proud as the winners on the top step. It was all about honor and pride, instead of disappointment and frustration, said Team China’s head coach Alyson Annan. “We came so close. It was just a near miss that we felt a little bit regretful. But we are so proud to give the sport another opportunity to be seen and be followed,” said Team China’s captain Ou Zixia. 1．What do we know about Team China？ A．It ranked the lowest in all competing teams.

C．Neither team scored in 60 minutes. D．The two teams drew in 60 minutes. 3．Which word best describes the performance of Team China？ A．Inspirational. B．Unexceptional. C．Emotional. D．Recreational. 4．What can be inferred from the captain’s words？ A．The players were close friends. B．They nearly missed the match. C．The sport might attract more attention. D．They had another opportunity to compete. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。讲述了中国女子曲棍球队在巴黎奥运赛场摘取银牌的历程。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“From the relative obscurity of being ranked 14th in the world in 2022 to almost becoming the new Olympic champions, China’s women’s hockey team confidently announced its arrival at the towering level of the sport when it equaled its Olympic best performance and finished runners-up in Paris. (从2022年世界排名第14位的相对默默无闻，到几乎成为新的奥运冠军，中国女子冰球队在巴黎奥运会上取得了与奥运会最佳成绩相当的成绩，获得亚军，自信地宣布自己已经达到了这项运动的最高水平。)” 可知，本届奥运会中国女子曲棍球队追平了奥运赛场上历史最佳成绩，不止一次获奖。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“The top-ranked Netherlands team eventually scored a 52nd-minute equalizer, with Yibbi Jansen netting via a penalty corner and leveling the score close to the end of the 60-minutes of regulation time. (排名第一的荷兰队最终在第52分钟扳平比分，伊比·扬森通过点球角球破门，在60分钟的常规时间即将结束时将比分扳平。)”可知，荷兰队在第52分钟扳平了比分，在60分钟的常规比赛时间，双方打成了平手。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段“Having already survived a shootout in the knock-out stage during its semifinal win against Belgium, Team China ran out of luck after scoring only one of its five attempts while conceding three goals, losing 3-1 in the tiebreaker. (在半决赛战胜比利时队的淘汰赛阶段，中国队已经在点球大战中死里逃生，但在五次尝试中只进了一球，丢了三球，在决胜局中以1比3输掉了比赛。)”以及倒数第三段“Applauded by its opponents and cheered on by many of the orange-clad fans on the stands, the Chinese team jumped onto the podium during the medal ceremony as proud as the winners on the top step. (在对手的掌声和看台上身穿橙色制服的球迷的欢呼下，中国队在颁奖仪式上跳上领奖台，就像站在最高台阶上的获胜者一样自豪。)”可知，比赛过程鼓舞人心。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ ‘We came so close. It was just a near miss that we felt a little bit regretful. But we are so proud to give the sport another opportunity to be seen and be followed,’ said Team China’s captain Ou Zixia.

I just completed my first ultramarathon (超级马拉松). I’m feeling tired and suffering a pain in my feet. But I’m really proud of myself. I didn’t think I could do it. I’ve only been running long-distance for three years. I’ve completed five normal marathons (which are 42 km) but this was much harder than they were. This race was 140 km and it took place over two days. I was very tired after yesterday’s run, but I had to run for seven hours again today! I think the most important thing for me is to get the speed right. If I go too fast, I don’t have enough energy for the end of the race. If I go too slowly, all the other runners leave me behind, and it feels like I’ll never catch up with them. My family can’t understand why I like it. I didn’t like team sport in high school. But long- distance running is different. It’s a challenge. I like pushing myself to do better. I’m not trying to finish first. All I want is to do a better time with each run. And of course, the other good thing is that I’ve raised quite a lot of money for charity with this ultramarathon. I would like to express a big “thank you” to all my friends and family who agreed to give money to the Red Cross. I'm going to do it again next year. Maybe I’ll be able to raise even more! 1．How many normal marathons has Jason completed? A．Five. B．Six. C．Seven. D．Eight. 2．What is the most important thing for Jason in the race of ultramarathon? A．To run fast all the time. B．To save energy for the next race. C．To get the speed right. D．To leave the other runners behind. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Family party. B．Team sport. C．High school. D．Long- distance running. 4．Why did Jason run the ultramarathon? A．To keep healthy and become famous. B．To earn money and live a better life. C．To get a big “thank you” and make friends. D．To challenge himself and raise money for charity. 5．Which of the following can best describe Jason? A．Funny and warm- hearted. B．Polite and easy- going. C．Caring and strong- minded. D．Humorous and hard- working. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Jason分享了他完成首次140公里超级马拉松的经历，虽感疲惫但自豪，强调速度控制的重要性，并感谢亲友为红十字会捐款，计划明年再跑。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I’ve completed five normal marathons (which are 42 km) but this was much harder than they were.

For most of us, running a marathon is hard enough. Spanish athlete Eric Domingo Roldan is a man who did not think running a marathon was enough of a 1 .
