The Olympic flame
The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a flame burned at the altar(祭坛)of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted(采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.
The Olympic motto
“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
The Olympic oath
“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Born at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.

奥林匹克圣火
奥林匹克圣火是古代奥运会传承下来的象征,最初在宙斯祭坛上燃烧,贯穿整个赛会。它于 1924 年阿姆斯特丹奥运会时再次被引入,并在 1932 年再次燃起。
1936 年柏林奥运会的组织委员会主席卡尔·迪姆提议,圣火应从希腊点燃,并通过火炬传递的方式运往柏林。这一想法被采纳,并在 1952 年后的每届奥运会中延续下来。圣火在奥林匹克遗址由太阳的自然光线反射从一个弯曲的镜面中点燃。在仪式上,由身着类似古代服饰的女性点燃圣火,然后将其传递给第一位火炬手。
奥林匹克格言
“Citius, altius, fortius” 是一个拉丁语短语,意思是“更快、更高、更强”,这是巴伦·德·库伯林从巴黎的亨利·马丁·迪迪翁神父那里借来的。迪迪翁是阿克维尔学院的校长,他用这个短语来描述该校学生的体育成就。他之前在阿尔伯特·勒格朗学校任教,那里在主入口上方刻有这些拉丁语单词。
奥林匹克誓言
“以所有参赛者的名义,我承诺我们将参加这些奥运会,严格遵守其规则,秉持体育精神,为体育事业争光,为我们的团队增光。”这段誓言由主办国的一名运动员在手持奥林匹克会旗一角的姿势下宣读。运动员们的誓言最早由比利时击剑运动员维克多·博因在 1920 年安特卫普奥运会上宣读。主办国的一名法官也会宣读同样的誓言,但用词略有不同。

(2020·全国一卷·阅读理解C篇) Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
28.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A.They must run long distances.
B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules.
D.They are good at swinging their legs.
29.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A.It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B.It’s less challenging physically.
C.It’s more effective in body building.
D.It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
30.What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A.Getting experts’ opinions.
B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach.
D.Doing regular exercises.
31.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A.Skeptical. B.Objective.
C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
【答案】28.C 29.D 30.A 31.B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势,但是之前受过伤的人,要想从事这样运动要谨慎,最好咨询专家的建议。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.”可知,但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直,一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知,竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知,一些与跑步有关的损伤,比如跑步者的膝盖,在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知,竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique(事实上,任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员,学习适当的技巧。)”可知,Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知,研究表明,竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处,而且它还很少导致受伤。不过,它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·河北·期末)Maya Merhige is making her major waves in swimming. She is now the third-youngest person to complete an athletic challenge known as the Triple Crown. At the age of 16, she swam 23 miles across the English Channel in the UK with a time of 11 hours, 39 minutes.
Merhige had already completed the other two Triple Crown swims. At age 14, with a time of 10 hours, 48 minutes, she became the youngest female to swim the 20-mile Catalina Channel in California. The next year, she completed the 20 Bridges swim in New York City, a distance of 28.5 miles, in 8 hours, 43 minutes.
Open-water swimming became her passion at age 9 when she got involved with Swim Across America, a nonprofit organization that funds cancer research. “I’ve been feeling as I’ve gotten older that nearly everyone is touched by cancer, and it’s become more important for me to raise money for this cause,” Merhige, now 17, told The Week Junior. Since she started, she has raised more than $100,000.
One of her favorite swims was crossing the 28-mile Ka’iwi Channel in Hawaii. She swam it at age 15, making her the youngest person to do so. It took her more than 27 hours to complete it, and she faced strong winds and jellyfish.
Although the physical and mental challenges of her sport are difficult, Merhige says her greatest fear is not finishing a swim. Now she sets her sights on completing the Oceans Seven by 2029, and with her Triple Crown swims, she has four more to go. As she considers the journey ahead, Merhige said it helps to “constantly remind myself to stay in the moment.”
1.What do we know about the Triple Crown?
A.It is for young athletes. B.It is a charity event.
C.It is a swimming challenge. D.It is an indoor competition.
2.How did Merhige’s involvement with Swim Across America influence her?
A.It made her passionate about swimming.
B.It helped her overcome her fear of jellyfish.
C.It taught her how to swim in the open waters.
D.It inspired her to raise funds for cancer research.
3.Why does the author mention the Oceans Seven?
A.To show Merhige’s following target. B.To emphasize the game’s importance.
C.To showcase Merhige’s achievements. D.To advertise an important sports event.
4.Which of the following can best describe Merhige?
A.Determined and kind. B.Ambitious and clever.
C.Professional and brave. D.Responsible and skillful.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A 4.A

1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“She is now the third-youngest person to complete an athletic challenge known as the Triple Crown(她现在是完成被称为“三冠王”的体育挑战的第三年轻的人)”以及第二段中“Merhige had already completed the other two Triple Crown swims(Merhige已经完成了另外两次“三冠王”游泳挑战)”可知,“三冠王”是一个游泳挑战。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Open-water swimming became her passion at age 9 when she got involved with Swim Across America, a nonprofit organization that funds cancer research. “I’ve been feeling as I’ve gotten older that nearly everyone is touched by cancer, and it’s become more important for me to raise money for this cause,” Merhige, now 17, told The Week Junior. (9岁时,她参加了非营利组织“横渡美国游泳”,该组织为癌症研究提供资金,从此,公开水域游泳成了她的爱好。现年17岁的Merhige告诉《少年周刊》:“随着年龄的增长,我越来越觉得几乎每个人都受到癌症的影响,为这项事业筹集资金对我来说变得更加重要。”)”可知,Merhige参与“横渡美国游泳”激发了她为癌症研究筹集资金的热情。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now she sets her sights on completing the Oceans Seven by 2029, and with her Triple Crown swims, she has four more to go(现在,她的目标是在2029年前完成“七大洋”挑战,在完成了“三冠王”游泳挑战后,她还有四次挑战要完成)”可推知,作者提到“七大洋”挑战是为了表明Merhige接下来的目标。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Although the physical and mental challenges of her sport are difficult, Merhige says her greatest fear is not finishing a swim. Now she sets her sights on completing the Oceans Seven by 2029, and with her Triple Crown swims, she has four more to go(尽管这项运动在身体和精神上都很有挑战性,但Merhige说,她最大的恐惧是没有完成游泳。现在,她的目标是在2029年前完成“七大洋”挑战,在完成了“三冠王”游泳挑战后,她还有四次挑战要完成)”可知,尽管这项运动在身体和精神上都很有挑战性,但Merhige说,她最大的恐惧是没有完成游泳。现在,她的目标是在2029年前完成“七大洋”挑战,可推知,Merhige是个有决心的人;再结合第三段中““I’ve been feeling as I’ve gotten older that nearly everyone is touched by cancer, and it’s become more important for me to raise money for this cause,” Merhige, now 17, told The Week Junior. Since she started, she has raised more than $100,000(现年17岁的Merhige告诉《少年周刊》:“随着年龄的增长,我越来越觉得几乎每个人都受到癌症的影响,为这项事业筹集资金对我来说变得更加重要。”从她开始,她已经筹集了超过10万美元)”可知,为癌症研究这项事业筹集资金对Maya Merhige来说变得更加重要,可推知,Merhige是个善良的人。故选A项。
Passage 2
(24-25高二下·吉林长春·期末)While many of us will be taking advantage of the holiday for a bit of rest and relaxation, one man will be in training to push his body to its limits. Ian Russell, an airline pilot from Hereford, is preparing to run his first Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项赛) — at the age of 60.
“They used to say life begins at 40. Now, 60 is the new 40,” said Mr Russell. Mr Russell was a keen sportsman when he was young, he listed climbing Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn among his achievements. He later took up running, before joining his local triathlon club. Inspired by some of his fellow members who had taken part, last autumn Mr Russell, who was 60 years old, signed up for the Ironman Triathlon event in Tenby, Pembrokeshire. He didn’t want age to restrict himself.
“I originally thought that it’s local and easy to go, but it’s actually one of the toughest ones going,” he said. Since then, Mr Russell has trained “most days” — but has suffered a couple of setbacks. “I’ve had a big operation on my hand,” he explained, “which took a few weeks to recover. And then I broke my foot out training with the triathlon club. That took a good six to eight weeks to recover. So I’m not starting from the best base.”
He said that, while he was training hard, he was avoiding pushing himself too much. “You might end up hurting yourself, which I can’t afford now,” he said. Mr Russell was also worried about making a cutoff, of two hours 20 minutes, to complete the swim. “All my main part of my training in my mind is revolving (围绕) around getting through the swimming part. So at least I can get on a bike and… let Mother Nature and tailwinds (顺风) take their course.”
Despite this, the athlete said he had no regrets. “I’m proving that age is no barrier to setting bold goals and achieving them,” he added.
1.Why did Mr Russell say “60 is the new 40”?
A.He was starting a new career. B.He felt younger than before.
C.He wanted to sound humorous. D.He believed age shouldn’t limit his goals.
2.What can be learned from Mr Russell’s training experience?
A.His coach caused his injuries. B.He trained too little for the event.
C.He underestimated the difficulty of the race. D.He prioritized swimming over biking too early.
3.What does the underlined word “cutoff” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.A time limit. B.A competition rule.
C.A safety zone. D.A broken record.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Mr Russell?
A.Well-trained but proud. B.Determined and careful.
C.Competitive and generous. D.Humorous but narrow-minded.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了60岁的飞行员Ian Russell挑战铁人三项,尽管遭遇伤病和比赛的高难度,他仍坚持训练,证明年龄不应阻碍追求目标。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Inspired by some of his fellow members who had taken part, last autumn Mr Russell, who was 60 years old, signed up for the Ironman Triathlon event in Tenby, Pembrokeshire. He didn’t want age to restrict himself. (去年秋天,60岁的Russell先生受到参加过比赛的俱乐部成员启发,报名参加了彭布罗克郡滕比市的铁人三项赛。他不愿让年龄限制自己的人生)”可推知,Russell说“60岁是新的40岁”是因为他认为60岁不应阻碍他参加这项比赛,年龄不应该限制他的目标。故选D项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中Russell所说的话“I originally thought that it’s local and easy to go, but it’s actually one of the toughest ones going (我原本以为它是地方性的,很容易进行,但实际上它是最难的比赛之一)”可推知,Russell最初低估了比赛难度。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“All my main part of my training in my mind is revolving (围绕) around getting through the swimming part. So at least I can get on a bike (我训练的核心目标始终是确保能完成游泳赛段。这样至少能顺利进入自行车环节)”可知,Russell把训练核心放在完成游泳赛段上,他担心的是自己能否在规定的时间限制两小时二十分钟内完成游泳,画线词指“时间限制”。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。根据第二段中“He didn’t want age to restrict himself. (他不愿让年龄限制自己的人生)”和最后一段“Despite this, the athlete said he had no regrets. “I’m proving that age is no barrier to setting bold goals and achieving them,” he added. (尽管如此,这位运动员表示他毫无遗憾。“我正在证明,年龄绝非设定远大目标并实现它们的阻碍。”他补充道)”可知,Russell坚持参加铁人三项的比赛,不愿让年龄成为自己的限制,说明他是坚定的;根据第四段中“He said that, while he was training hard, he was avoiding pushing himself too much. (他表示,尽管训练非常刻苦,但还是注意避免过度透支自己的身体)”和“All my main part of my training in my mind is revolving (围绕) around getting through the swimming part. (我训练的核心目标始终是确保能完成游泳赛段)”可知,Russell在训练上保证强度合理,重点关注自己薄弱的游泳部分,说明他是谨慎的。故选B项。
Passage 3
(24-25高二下·河南安阳·期末)Christian Vieri, who was once the world’s most expensive footballer when he moved to Inter Milan in 1999 for £30m, has a deep love for cricket (板球).

Passage 4
(24-25高二上·河北邢台·期末)Since retiring from football, Tom has reflected on his impact on the teams he played for. Although most of his experiences come from sports, we believe these actions can be applied to various organizations.
1 . The first lesson in leadership is to prioritize (优先处理) the team, even during personal challenges. When competing for a position, Tom lost fair and square to another player, whom he supported in practice. Despite his disappointment, he contributed to the team’s success.
Show appreciation for unsung heroes. 2 . For example, Swift, a fullback (后卫), worked hard to block defenses but hardly received praise. Tom learned to recognize Swift’s contributions, which gave him a boost in morale (士气). This made Tom understand that everyone needed to feel valued.
Set the standard and create a culture of 100% effort. Tom was part of a hardworking group during his early seasons. 3 . By pushing each other to go beyond basic expectations, they developed a culture of commitment that benefited everyone.
Communicate honestly. Another leadership rule is being open about expectations. Tom made it a point to communicate his standards honestly, allowing teammates to understand where they could improve without feeling attacked. 4 .
Recognize individual motivations. 5 . Some are motivated by contracts (合同), or by their image in the media. Great leaders understand these different drivers and motivate effectively. Adapting communication styles to suit individual players leads to better performance.
A.Always put the team first
B.Every player has unique drivers
C.Prepare yourself for personal challenges
D.The secret to your success is learning from failures
E.In sports, some players do not get the recognition they deserve
F.This honest behavior helps players grow and strengthens team bonds
G.The team held itself accountable for effort, working for excellence together

Passage5
(24-25高二上·江苏南通·期中)Sportsmanship means maintaining a positive attitude, staying composed when decisions do not favor you, and always struggling to bring out the best in yourself and others around you. 1 Here are several strategies to help athletes cultivate and demonstrate sportsmanship in all aspects of their sport.
Actions speak louder than words. As an athlete, your behavior on and off the field sets a tone for others. Be the player who plays fair, respects officials’ decisions, and offers a hand to help up a fallen opponent. 2

Use encouraging words and maintain a positive tone with teammates and coaches. Positive communication builds team morale (斗志). 5 Discuss with your coach or teammates about ways to improve and avoid similar mistakes in the future. This approach not only improves your skills but also enhances a culture of continuous learning and mutual respect.
A.Congratulate opponents on a good match.
B.Controlling emotions is key to sportsmanship.
C.Sportsmanship can be developed with practice.

The Olympic flame
The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a flame burned at the altar(祭坛)of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted(采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.
The Olympic motto
“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
The Olympic oath
“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Born at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.

奥林匹克圣火
奥林匹克圣火是古代奥运会传承下来的象征,最初在宙斯祭坛上燃烧,贯穿整个赛会。它于 1924 年阿姆斯特丹奥运会时再次被引入,并在 1932 年再次燃起。
1936 年柏林奥运会的组织委员会主席卡尔·迪姆提议,圣火应从希腊点燃,并通过火炬传递的方式运往柏林。这一想法被采纳,并在 1952 年后的每届奥运会中延续下来。圣火在奥林匹克遗址由太阳的自然光线反射从一个弯曲的镜面中点燃。在仪式上,由身着类似古代服饰的女性点燃圣火,然后将其传递给第一位火炬手。
奥林匹克格言
“Citius, altius, fortius” 是一个拉丁语短语,意思是“更快、更高、更强”,这是巴伦·德·库伯林从巴黎的亨利·马丁·迪迪翁神父那里借来的。迪迪翁是阿克维尔学院的校长,他用这个短语来描述该校学生的体育成就。他之前在阿尔伯特·勒格朗学校任教,那里在主入口上方刻有这些拉丁语单词。
奥林匹克誓言
“以所有参赛者的名义,我承诺我们将参加这些奥运会,严格遵守其规则,秉持体育精神,为体育事业争光,为我们的团队增光。”这段誓言由主办国的一名运动员在手持奥林匹克会旗一角的姿势下宣读。运动员们的誓言最早由比利时击剑运动员维克多·博因在 1920 年安特卫普奥运会上宣读。主办国的一名法官也会宣读同样的誓言,但用词略有不同。

(2020·全国一卷·阅读理解C篇) Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
28.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A.They must run long distances.
B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules.
D.They are good at swinging their legs.
29.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A.It’s more popular at the Olympics.
B.It’s less challenging physically.
C.It’s more effective in body building.
D.It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
30.What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A.Getting experts’ opinions.
B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach.
D.Doing regular exercises.
31.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A.Skeptical. B.Objective.
C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
1.According to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·河北·期末)Maya Merhige is making her major waves in swimming. She is now the third-youngest person to complete an athletic challenge known as the Triple Crown. At the age of 16, she swam 23 miles across the English Channel in the UK with a time of 11 hours, 39 minutes.
Merhige had already completed the other two Triple Crown swims. At age 14, with a time of 10 hours, 48 minutes, she became the youngest female to swim the 20-mile Catalina Channel in California. The next year, she completed the 20 Bridges swim in New York City, a distance of 28.5 miles, in 8 hours, 43 minutes.
Open-water swimming became her passion at age 9 when she got involved with Swim Across America, a nonprofit organization that funds cancer research. “I’ve been feeling as I’ve gotten older that nearly everyone is touched by cancer, and it’s become more important for me to raise money for this cause,” Merhige, now 17, told The Week Junior. Since she started, she has raised more than $100,000.
One of her favorite swims was crossing the 28-mile Ka’iwi Channel in Hawaii. She swam it at age 15, making her the youngest person to do so. It took her more than 27 hours to complete it, and she faced strong winds and jellyfish.
Although the physical and mental challenges of her sport are difficult, Merhige says her greatest fear is not finishing a swim. Now she sets her sights on completing the Oceans Seven by 2029, and with her Triple Crown swims, she has four more to go. As she considers the journey ahead, Merhige said it helps to “constantly remind myself to stay in the moment.”
1.What do we know about the Triple Crown?
A.It is for young athletes. B.It is a charity event.
C.It is a swimming challenge. D.It is an indoor competition.
2.How did Merhige’s involvement with Swim Across America influence her?
A.It made her passionate about swimming.
B.It helped her overcome her fear of jellyfish.
C.It taught her how to swim in the open waters.
D.It inspired her to raise funds for cancer research.
3.Why does the author mention the Oceans Seven?

C.To showcase Merhige’s achievements. D.To advertise an important sports event.
4.Which of the following can best describe Merhige?

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·吉林长春·期末)While many of us will be taking advantage of the holiday for a bit of rest and relaxation, one man will be in training to push his body to its limits. Ian Russell, an airline pilot from Hereford, is preparing to run his first Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项赛) — at the age of 60.
“They used to say life begins at 40. Now, 60 is the new 40,” said Mr Russell. Mr Russell was a keen sportsman when he was young, he listed climbing Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn among his achievements. He later took up running, before joining his local triathlon club. Inspired by some of his fellow members who had taken part, last autumn Mr Russell, who was 60 years old, signed up for the Ironman Triathlon event in Tenby, Pembrokeshire. He didn’t want age to restrict himself.
“I originally thought that it’s local and easy to go, but it’s actually one of the toughest ones going,” he said. Since then, Mr Russell has trained “most days” — but has suffered a couple of setbacks. “I’ve had a big operation on my hand,” he explained, “which took a few weeks to recover. And then I broke my foot out training with the triathlon club. That took a good six to eight weeks to recover. So I’m not starting from the best base.”
He said that, while he was training hard, he was avoiding pushing himself too much. “You might end up hurting yourself, which I can’t afford now,” he said. Mr Russell was also worried about making a cutoff, of two hours 20 minutes, to complete the swim. “All my main part of my training in my mind is revolving (围绕) around getting through the swimming part. So at least I can get on a bike and… let Mother Nature and tailwinds (顺风) take their course.”
Despite this, the athlete said he had no regrets. “I’m proving that age is no barrier to setting bold goals and achieving them,” he added.
1.Why did Mr Russell say “60 is the new 40”?
A.He was starting a new career. B.He felt younger than before.
C.He wanted to sound humorous. D.He believed age shouldn’t limit his goals.
2.What can be learned from Mr Russell’s training experience?
A.His coach caused his injuries. B.He trained too little for the event.
C.He underestimated the difficulty of the race. D.He prioritized swimming over biking too early.
3.What does the underlined word “cutoff” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.A time limit. B.A competition rule.
C.A safety zone. D.A broken record.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Mr Russell?
A.Well-trained but proud. B.Determined and careful.
C.Competitive and generous. D.Humorous but narrow-minded.

Passage 4
(24-25高二上·河北邢台·期末)Since retiring from football, Tom has reflected on his impact on the teams he played for. Although most of his experiences come from sports, we believe these actions can be applied to various organizations.
1 . The first lesson in leadership is to prioritize (优先处理) the team, even during personal challenges. When competing for a position, Tom lost fair and square to another player, whom he supported in practice. Despite his disappointment, he contributed to the team’s success.
Show appreciation for unsung heroes. 2 . For example, Swift, a fullback (后卫), worked hard to block defenses but hardly received praise. Tom learned to recognize Swift’s contributions, which gave him a boost in morale (士气). This made Tom understand that everyone needed to feel valued.
Set the standard and create a culture of 100% effort. Tom was part of a hardworking group during his early seasons. 3 . By pushing each other to go beyond basic expectations, they developed a culture of commitment that benefited everyone.
Communicate honestly. Another leadership rule is being open about expectations. Tom made it a point to communicate his standards honestly, allowing teammates to understand where they could improve without feeling attacked. 4 .
Recognize individual motivations. 5 . Some are motivated by contracts (合同), or by their image in the media. Great leaders understand these different drivers and motivate effectively. Adapting communication styles to suit individual players leads to better performance.
A.Always put the team first
B.Every player has unique drivers
C.Prepare yourself for personal challenges
D.The secret to your success is learning from failures
E.In sports, some players do not get the recognition they deserve
F.This honest behavior helps players grow and strengthens team bonds
G.The team held itself accountable for effort, working for excellence together
Passage5
(24-25高二上·江苏南通·期中)Sportsmanship means maintaining a positive attitude, staying composed when decisions do not favor you, and always struggling to bring out the best in yourself and others around you. 1 Here are several strategies to help athletes cultivate and demonstrate sportsmanship in all aspects of their sport.
Actions speak louder than words. As an athlete, your behavior on and off the field sets a tone for others. Be the player who plays fair, respects officials’ decisions, and offers a hand to help up a fallen opponent. 2
Sportsmanship is rooted in self-improvement. 3 View competitors as opportunities to challenge your own limits rather than barriers to your success. Always show respect to everyone involved in the game, including teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials.
4 Learn to handle both success and disappointment with grace. Techniques such as deep breathing, focusing on the next play, or positive self-talk can help manage emotional responses during critical moments.
Use encouraging words and maintain a positive tone with teammates and coaches. Positive communication builds team morale (斗志). 5 Discuss with your coach or teammates about ways to improve and avoid similar mistakes in the future. This approach not only improves your skills but also enhances a culture of continuous learning and mutual respect.
A.Congratulate opponents on a good match.
B.Controlling emotions is key to sportsmanship.
C.Sportsmanship can be developed with practice.
D.Sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes.
E.Your conduct can inspire your teammates to follow suit.
F.Concentrate on developing your skills without negative influences.
G.Analyze what went wrong instead of blaming others for a loss or an error.
