避免主观臆断,推断有理有据
有些推理判断题的干扰项属于主观臆断,即不是基于原文进行推断,而是根据常识推断。识别这些干扰项,有利于正确解题。如在推断本题时,从常识角度上看A项说得过去,但通过仔细阅读原文便可以看出文中没有支持的信息句,因此将其排除。

(3)As a professional athlete, she is prepared to do that little extra thing in her preparation that will set her apart from her competitors.(Para.6)

梳理文章结构,把握作者观点
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。此类文体的一种常见结构是在开头部分作者明确提出观点,然后通过叙述和议论来展开和论证观点。在阅读时,注意梳理文章的结构,把握作者的观点。如本文在开头部分提出了观点:奥林匹克运动员要将自己逼到极限,叙述了外界对作者的质疑,让读者体会到她的运动生涯面临着极大的压力,吸引读者了解她选择这种生活方式的原因;然后讲述作者自己内心的纠结:为了追求奥运冠军所做出的牺牲是否值得;最后阐述了作者走向成功的原因,证明了自己的人生选择,展示了她对体育事业的热爱和不畏他人言论力争奥运冠军的人生态度。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.As one of the Olympic athletes, I miss birthday parties, ruin family holidays and skip nights out, but there is a very good reason for giving up so much.
赏析:本句连续使用动词miss、ruin、skip,从侧面描述了作者作为一名运动员的生活现状,同时也说明了运动员追求极致的艰辛。
2.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 apart from your competitors.
赏析:本句使用了little和extra,这两个词形象地说明了要想成为一名优秀的运动员需要付出额外的努力,同时再次说明登上顶峰的艰辛。
[提能训练] (运用上述词汇完成句子)
①She missed the train, which ruined her plan to skip work and go on a vacation.
她错过了火车,这使她放弃工作去度假的计划泡汤了。
②Tom is very young, but he has a lot of extra work to do as a part of the family.
汤姆虽然很小,但作为家庭的一员,他需要承担许多额外的工作。
(二)赏句式之高
1.He was worried that I had no longer become fun to train with and that I was in danger of being left with only a world championship medal and no one to share it with.
赏析: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 a world championship medal和no one to share it 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。该句表达了朋友对作者的担心。
2.Call it unhealthy if you want, but that is the way I roll, no matter what it is I'm applying myself to.
赏析:本句为并列复合句。but前的分句中包含一个if引导的条件状语从句,其对应的主句为祈使句。but后的分句中包含一个no matter what引导的让步状语从句,其对应的主句中I roll为定语从句,修饰先行词way。该句表达了作者的做事风格,不管做什么都会全力以赴。
[提能训练] (运用上述句式完成句子)
①The teacher told me that there were a few mistakes in my composition and that I had to correct them.
老师告诉我,我的作文中有几个错误,我必须改正。
②No matter what you do, you can only succeed if you love what you're doing and attach great importance to it.
无论你做什么,只有热爱你所做的事,并足够重视它,你才能成功。
(三)赏逻辑之巧
I think of countless 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,almost missing my brother's wedding because I was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes.
赏析:本句用because of和because说明错过许多重要时刻的原因,反映了作者训练的艰辛。常见的表示原因的从属连词还有:owing to、due to、 on account of、 as a result/consequence of、since、now that、when、in that等。
[提能训练] (翻译句子)
①Because of my grandfather's encouragement, I signed up for the competition.
因为祖父的鼓励,我报名参加了比赛。
②She was fortunate in that she had friends to help her.
她很幸运,因为她有一些朋友帮助她。
(四)赏文笔之美
1.These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis. 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?
赏析:通过连续提出一系列深刻且自我反思性的问题,直接触及一名职业运动员内心深处的困惑、矛盾与挣扎。这种写法能够迅速抓住读者的注意力,使读者仿佛置身于运动员的内心世界,思考这些关于职业追求意义与代价的复杂问题,从而引发强烈的情感共鸣。
2.Can this be overdone? Absolutely. But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner's platform, you had better be totally committed to your sport.
赏析:作者先提出一种可能存在的质疑或担忧,然后用一个简洁而肯定的 “Absolutely” 进行回应。这种写法既体现了对前面所提及问题的深入思考,又通过转折强调了后面观点的重要性与坚定性,增强文章的节奏感与说服力。
[提能训练] (试翻译下面的句子)
①你害怕了吗?你要退缩吗?你忘了你坚持下来的动力了吗?
Are you afraid?Will you withdraw? Have you forgotten the motivation that lets you move on?
②Is it necessary to practice so hard every day? Definitely.But if your goal is to perform on the stage, you must be completely dedicated to your practice.
每天如此刻苦练习有必要吗?当然。但如果你的目标是在舞台上表演,你就必须全身心地投入练习。
课文缩写七选五
根据课文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I was born with an enormous amount of drive and determination. 1 I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games.I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys. 2 Call it unhealthy if you want, but that is the way I roll, no matter what it is I'm applying myself to.
3 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 apart from your competitors.
Can this be overdone? Absolutely. 4 In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, even if it means getting injured, “I'd prefer to have three or four outstanding years of winning stuff rather than have ten years of being average.”
Doing what we do as athletes sets us apart because we are willing to do that extra little bit that might take us to the top.It is certainly not a balanced way to live. 5
A.I have always lived my life to extremes.
B.I could have become angry or defensive.
C.Being a professional athlete is no different.
D.Why do Olympic athletes push themselves to the limits?
E.From a small girl, I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play.
F.It is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness.
G.But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner's platform, you had better be totally committed to your sport.
答案:1~5 EACGF

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fang Jianze was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the age of three, leaving his legs almost useless.
Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own. In January 2020, when he put on his first diving suit and began his training, he found himself in a pool of emotions.
In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. To overcome his fear at water, he fully immersed (沉浸) himself in it in both a mental and physical way. Due to the weakness in his upper arms, he had to rely on his body and legs to keep him afloat.
On August 19th, 2020, Fang Jianze got the world's 2075th Disabled Divers Certification, and became China's first certified diver with muscle disease.
Since becoming an accomplished diver, Fang sees the world from an entirely new point of view. Now, he has the confidence and ability to help others overcome their own doubts and fears. In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou.
Nowadays, most parts of the world have accepted the idea of making things accessible for everyone. Everyone can benefit from a barrier-free environment. By accommodating each other's differences, perhaps we can find a way in which to live together happily, so that no barrier, physical or mental, can impede someone from going after their dreams.

What is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a gold medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all — it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”.
The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?
Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I've got a very long way to go then!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It's the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.

7.According to the text, humans are different from animals in ________.
