When she was a little girl, her parents hoped she could learn to play the piano. However, it turned out that golf was her true calling. Luckily, her parents gave her fully support. Ni Zixin gave us a big surprise at the 75th US Girls’ Junior Championship (美国女子青少年锦标赛) in California in July this year. With an amazing score of 11-under 131 total, Ni won the first place. And she also set a record for the best score ever achieved by a Chinese player in the event. Ni’s journey into golf began at the age of 9. “I was introduced to golf by my friends. I spent an afternoon playing golf with them on the greens. Then I fell in love with this sport.” Ni said. Ni’s interest quickly turned into her love. Over the years, Ni has been in strict training. She spent three to four afternoons a week and half of her weekends doing practice on the golf course. Although the weather was often challenging, she never gave up. To learn more and know other golf players well, she had to spend lots of time watching matches, too. “Weekends are the hardest because I get home late. And I have to finish my schoolwork.” Ni said. Ni believes golf is more than just a sport. She thinks it can help people to be more patient and develop thinking ability. Even when you just play it for fun, golf can help bring happiness and encourage healthy habits. Ni will continue improving her skills and take part in more matches. “I hope to represent (代表) China in some important events, such as the Asian Games and the Olympics, and win gold medals.” Ni said. 全文翻译： 倪梓心 2008 年出生于湖北。小时候，父母希望她能学弹钢琴。然而，事实证明高尔夫才是她真正热爱的事业。幸运的是，父母给予了她全力支持。 今年 7 月，在加利福尼亚州举行的第 75 届美国女子青少年锦标赛上，倪梓心给了我们一个巨大的惊喜。她以 11 杆低于标准杆、总成绩 131 杆的惊人成绩夺得冠军，还创下了中国选手在该赛事中的最佳成绩纪录。 倪梓心的高尔夫之旅始于 9 岁。“是朋友带我接触高尔夫的。我和他们在球场上打了一下午，之后就爱上了这项运动。” 她说。 很快，兴趣变成了热爱。这些年来，倪梓心一直在接受严格的训练。她每周花 3 到 4 个下午，以及半个周末的时间在高尔夫球场上练习。尽管天气常常很恶劣，极具挑战，但她从未放弃。为了学到更多东西、深入了解其他高尔夫选手，她还得花大量时间看比赛。“周末是最辛苦的，因为我回家很晚，还得完成作业。” 她说。 倪梓心认为高尔夫不仅仅是一项运动。她觉得高尔夫能让人更有耐心，还能培养思维能力。即便只是为了娱乐而打高尔夫，它也能带来快乐，并促进健康习惯的养成。 倪梓心会继续提升自己的技能，参加更多比赛。“我希望能代表中国参加一些重要赛事，比如亚运会和奥运会，并赢得金牌。” 她说。 【长难句分析】 1. ‌原句：With an amazing score of 11-under 131 total, Ni won the first place. 翻译：凭借 131 杆、低于标准杆 11 杆的惊人成绩，倪梓心获得了第一名。 分析： 句首 “With an amazing score of...” 是介词短语作状语，说明 “赢得第一名” 的方式（凭借某成绩）； “11-under 131 total” 是高尔夫术语，“under” 表示 “低于标准杆”，属于专业语境中的表达，理解时结合 “score（分数）” 即可把握大意。 2. 原句：She spent three to four afternoons a week and half of her weekends doing practice on the golf course. 翻译：她每周花 3 到 4 个下午，以及半个周末的时间在高尔夫球场上练习。 分析： 主干是 “spend + 时间 + doing sth”（花费时间做某事），是八年级重点句型； “three to four afternoons a week and half of her weekends” 是并列的时间短语，结构稍长但逻辑清晰，需注意 “spend...on the golf course” 中 “on” 表示地点。 3. 原句：I hope to represent China in some important events, such as the Asian Games and the Olympics, and win gold medals. 翻译：我希望代表中国参加一些重要赛事，比如亚运会和奥运会，并赢得金牌。 分析： 主干是 “I hope to do sth and do sth”（两个不定式短语并列，表希望的动作）； “such as” 引出举例（亚运会、奥运会），属于插入成分，理解时先抓住 “represent China” 和 “win gold medals” 两个核心动作。 【重难词汇梳理】 1. ‌calling /ˈkɔːlɪŋ/n. 天赋；热爱的事业 2. championship /ˈtʃæmpiənʃɪp/n. 锦标赛 3. achieve /əˈtʃiːv/v. 取得；实现 4. record /ˈrekɔːd/n. 纪录（/rɪˈkɔːd/v. 记录） 5. journey /ˈdʒɜːni/n. 历程；旅程 6. strict /strɪkt/adj. 严格的 7. challenging /ˈtʃæləndʒɪŋ/adj. 有挑战性的 8. patient /ˈpeɪʃnt/adj. 有耐心的 9. develop /dɪˈveləp/v. 培养；发展 10. ability /əˈbɪləti/n. 能力 11. represent /ˌreprɪˈzent/v. 代表 12. event /ɪˈvent/n. 赛事；活动 实战演练 一、阅读理解 A Quan Hongchan was born on March 28th, 2007. She is quite a great girl. On August 5th, 2020, she won the gold medal in the women’s ten-meter platform diving (跳台跳水) in the Tokyo Olympic Games. Soon, the girl’s name appeared in many newspapers, magazines and on TV shows. Quan’s success surprised lots of people. “Quan Hongchan really did a good job. I seemed to see myself in her, but she did better than I did then,” Guo Jingjing, another famous diver, said. Quan comes from a poor family in Guangdong. She has an elder brother, an elder sister, a younger brother and a younger sister. Her father is a farmer. Her mother is in poor health after a car accident in 2017, and it made their life much harder. At that time, Quan only spent three years learning to dive. Chen Huaming is Quan’s coach. He was sure that Quan could be an excellent diver when he first saw her in 2014. To improve her family’s life and make her dream come true, Quan worked hard every day. She knows “No pain, no gain”. In 2018, Quan joined the Guangdong diving team and she took every competition seriously. In 2020, she joined the national team.

In the same year, she got the chance to take part in the Tokyo Olympic Games.”可知她是在2020年获得参加东京奥运会的机会。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“Quan worked hard every day. She knows ‘No pain, no gain’.”可知意思是“一分耕耘，一分收获”。故选D。 B Do you often compare（比较）yourself with other people and wish you could be more like them? We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance can help you feel happier and better about yourself. What is self-acceptance? Self-acceptance means learning to accept（接受）the things that make you who you are. And being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing. Self-acceptance also means valuing（重视）the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths（强项）, and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.” Why is self-acceptance good for you? When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. It makes you feel happier and more confident. The Anna Freud Centre, a charity that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect（完美的）, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special. ▲ For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems. How can you accept yourself? Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long shower, watching your favorite film, or eating delicious ice-cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep. 1．Which of the following is NOT true about self-acceptance? A．Learning to accept who you are. B．Being thankful for what you are good at. C．Knowing your own weakness and strengths. D．Worrying about the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly. 2．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 3? A．It can also help you know what you’ re really good at. B．Accept yourself and never say you can’t do it. C．It’s important to learn from people around you. D．Live the life you like to make yourself happy. 3．How does the writer develop（阐述）his idea in Paragraph 4? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By telling stories. D．By comparing differences. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Learn to Love Yourself B．How to be a Perfect Person C．Accept Yourself and Others D．Relax and be Happy 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了接纳自己的好处以及如何接纳自己。 1．细节理解题。根据“Self-acceptance also means valuing（重视）the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly”可知自我接纳也意味着重视你身上那些不太光彩的部分。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems”可知有些人可能觉得字母或数字很难阅读，但他们可能在其他方面有优势，比如找到解决问题的好方法，所以每个人都有自己擅长的东西，选项A“它还可以帮助你知道自己真正擅长什么”符合语境。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Maybe you’ re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you...such as taking a long shower, watching your favorite film, or eating delicious ice-cream”可知第四段通过举例说明阐释了作者的观点。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了接纳自己的好处以及如何接纳自己，以选项A“学会爱自己”为标题最合适。故选A。 二、完形填空 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入相应空格内的最佳答案。 Nick was born with no arms or legs.
