GETTING TO THE TOP
Why do Olympic athletes push themselves to the limits? As one of the Olympic athletes,I miss birthday parties,ruin① family holidays and skip② nights out,but there is a very good reason for giving up so much.“We're worried about you,” said my friend from across③ the table.He was worried that I had no longer become fun to train with and that I was in danger of being left with④ only a world championship medal and no one to share it with.[1]
[1]本句为主从复合句。worried后面包含两个that引导的宾语从句。第二个宾语从句中,and连接两个并列成分。only...medal和no one...with作being left with的宾语,其中动词不定式短语to share it with作后置定语修饰代词one。
①ruin/'ruːɪn/vt.毁掉,糟蹋,毁坏
②skip/skɪp/vt.不做(本来应做的事);蹦跳着走
③from across...从……对面
④be left with 被留给,剩有

However,deep down I knew elements⑥ of what he was saying were right.[3]I was always tired and every workout had a mental intensity⑦ 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 basis⑧.Who am I doing this for? How much is too much? Why am I doing this? How can I be so selfish? What are the sacrifices for?
I think of countless⑨ birthday parties and nights out I have missed,ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in,[4]almost missing my brother's wedding[5]because I was too busy hiring a car⑩ in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the“no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes⑪.The list is endless.
[4]to train in为动词不定式短语作后置定语,修饰名词短语a swimming pool。

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 apart㉒from your competitors.
Can this be overdone? Absolutely.But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner's platform㉓,you had better be totally committed to㉔ your sport.In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee,even if it means getting injured㉕,[7]“I'd prefer to have three or four outstanding㉖ years of winning stuff rather than have ten years of being average㉗.”

到达顶峰
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、破坏阖家度假、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,”隔着桌子坐在我对面的朋友说。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。
我本可以生气或者辩解一下的。难道他们不知道在运动中处于顶峰有多难吗?难道他们不知道到达顶峰需要付出多少吗?然而,在内心深处,我知道他说的有一些是对的。我总是疲惫不堪,每次锻炼带来的心理压力似乎对于大多数人来说都难以应对。我把极限提升到了大多数人认为超出健康的程度。
译文参考
这些是我作为一名职业运动员日常面临的恐惧,我这样做是为了谁,多少是太多?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阖家度假;因为忙于在约翰内斯堡市中心租车开车闯过“禁行”以便和当地的铁人三项运动员组团骑行,而差点错过哥哥的婚礼。这样的事情不计其数。
归根结底,我天生就是个特别有干劲和意志力的人。我还是个小女孩时,为了在课业上名列前茅,午餐时间我会留下来学习而不出去玩。十岁的时候,当别的孩子在游泳池戏水时,我会自己乘公共汽车去游泳池游50个来回;橄榄球俱乐部里有250个男孩,只有我一个女孩。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。
做一名职业运动员也不例外。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。
这过分吗?当然。但如果你的梦想是成为最棒的并站上胜利者的奖台,你最好全身心投入运动项目中。用英国铁人三项运动员阿利斯泰尔·布朗利的话来说,即使这意味着要受伤,“我宁愿有三四年的胜利辉煌,而不愿选择十年的平庸无为。”
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。它当然不是一种平衡的生活方式,也肯定不寻常,但寻常、平衡这些词通常是不会用来形容追求伟大的人的。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题5分,共40分)
A
(2024·山东临沂高二期中)
A father in Brisbane,Australia,has beaten the world record for the most push-ups in one hour.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records,33-year-old Lucas Helmke,an accountant (会计) by trade,did 3,206 push-ups at Brisbane's Iron Underground gym.After the November submission (提交),Helmke's record just officially passed.He beat the record of 3,182 push-ups set last April by fellow Australian Daniel Scali.
素能提升练
In order to show his son that “nothing is impossible”,Helmke,who trained for two to three years for this moment,said he wanted to beat the old record to “provide encouragement” for his 1-year-old.
His goal in this successful record attempt (尝试) was to break the exercise down to 30-second sets,doing 26 push-ups in each.Guinness said that 34 of Helmke's push-ups were discounted because of improper form.To count,each push-up had to be completed without bending (弯曲) the knees.
Breaking the push-ups world record is a hot ticket.The record for the most push-ups in one hour has been broken repeatedly over the past 10 years.Before Helmke and Scali,another Australian man named Jarrad Young held the title,breaking his own record three years in a row:from 2,806 push-ups in 2018 to 3,054 in 2021.CNN reported that a 60-year-old Florida man,Rob Stirling,did 3,264 push-ups last month,but it has not yet been officially recognized by Guinness.
Helmke told Guinness that his achievement is just the beginning.“This will be the first record I wish to set of a number of other push-up records,” he said.“Then onto other physical records.” According to the Brisbane Times,the dad chose Nov.11 for his record attempt.“I wanted to break the record on my son's first birthday,” he said.

“With faithfulness, I will try my best to aid the physicians in their work, and devote myself to helping those patients who I attend to.” Every day, nurses take these words from the Florence Nightingale oath (誓言) to heart, ensuring their patients' welfare—but some nurses,like Jennifer Smith, take that oath a step further.
Last November, Jennifer got an urgent call from John Burley, one of her patients who had been hospitalized with pneumonia (肺炎). With no other family members to step in to help, a local animal shelter adopted his dog Boomer.
“I came into work on Monday morning, the phone ringing at 7 am,” Jennifer recalled. “John was calling from his ward (病房), saying ‘Boomer was in the shelter! Boomer was in the shelter!’” Aware that the 12-year-old dog that he had had since it was born meant all the world to him, she said yes without any hesitation, when John asked Jennifer if she could take care of Boomer. She said that knowing his beloved dog was safe would make a huge positive impact on John's recovery.
The first thing Jennifer had to do was to track Boomer down and she finally found him at the Rome Humane Society. The following day, she drove to the shelter and carried out the adoption plan, letting John know Boomer was doing well. What's more, Jennifer was given the green light to bring Boomer to work with her. During his stay in hospital, Jennifer brought Boomer to visit his owner several times a day. The cute dog soon became a favorite with staff and patients there.
To Jennifer, keeping 60-year-old John and Boomer together is just a natural act of helping people. “There are just so many worries in the world right now. If I can take one worry away from John, that's the least I can do,” she told CNN.
