But perhaps you don’t know what a triathlon (铁人三项) is. The triathlon is a sport that has three parts—swimming, cycling and running. It is not an easy sport, but a man named Joe Salter is very good at it. A few months ago, he finished a special triathlon—he juggled (抛起接住) three balls all the time during the triathlon. That is to say, he kept throwing and catching three balls while he was swimming, riding a bicycle and running. 31-year-old Joe is from Florida, the U.S. He loves juggling and he started at the age of 8. Joe was good at juggling. Later, he got the idea of doing a triathlon and juggling at the same time to make it more fun. Many juggling fans laughed at his idea and thought it was just a joke. But Joe didn’t give up and he kept practicing it. Because of his hard work, he made it at last. Talking about his triathlon, Joe said swimming was the hardest part. “It was difficult and complex (复杂的),” he said. “I basically (基本上) only used my legs, so it took quite a lot of work. Also, swimming in open water made it a little harder. It was not like in a pool.” 32 Why was Joe’s triathlon special? A. Because he performed juggling. B. Because he picked up three balls. C. Because he threw away all his balls. D. Because he kept on catching the balls. 33. What did many juggling fans think of Joe’s idea? A. It should be laughed at. B. It could not come true. C. It could make the triathlon more exciting. D. It should be realized as soon as possible. 34. What does the underlined part “made it” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Cried. B. Failed. C. Succeeded. D. Made a joke. 35. Which of the following sayings might be Joe’s motto? A. Many hands make light work. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. All things are difficult before they are easy. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位与众不同的铁人三项运动员。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“he finished a special triathlon—he juggled three balls all the time during the triathlon”可知，Joe的铁人三项之所以特别是因为他在比赛过程中进行了抛接球的表演。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many juggling fans laughed at his idea and thought it was just a joke.”可知，许多抛接球爱好者嘲笑Joe的想法，认为这只是一个笑话，含有“他们认为不可能实现的”的意思。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“A few months ago, he finished a special triathlon...”和“Because of his hard work, he made it at last.”可知，由于他的努力，他最终完成了这项特别的铁人三项，C选项符合词义。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But Joe didn’t give up and he kept practicing it. Because of his hard work, he made it at last.”可知，Joe经过自己不懈的努力，完成了别人眼中不可能完成的任务，所以B选项“有志者事竟成”符合他的奋斗精神，可能是他的座右铭。故选B。 D What do you want to be when you grow up? As a kid, Koby’s answer was a doctor. That was a goal her parents set for her, and she wanted to make them happy. As a teenager, Koby changed her answer to a teacher. She wanted to be a teacher because she thought it was a good and interesting job. But she didn’t think about all the hard work. When Koby was about to finish school, she had second thoughts. Maybe her purpose in life wasn’t to be a teacher because she doesn’t like kids. To find her life purpose, Koby made a vision board (愿望板). First, she looked for pictures in magazines, and they must touch her heart at first sight (初看时). When that happened, Koby cut out the pictures. Then, she glued them on a big board. When she stepped back, she saw many pictures of food and people. From them, she started to see a possible future for herself. She loves food and writing, and the vision board also shows that. Koby now knows her life purpose, and she is going after it. 36. What did Koby’s parents want her to be? A. A writer. B. A teacher. C. A doctor. D. A cook. 37. Why didn’t Koby want to be a teacher? A. Because she didn’t like kids. B. Because it wasn’t a good job. C. Because she didn’t like hard work. D Because it wasn’t an interesting job. 38. What’s the right order for Koby to make her vision board? ①Cut out the pictures. ②Looked for pictures. ③Glued the pictures on a board. A. ①②③ B. ②①③ C. ③②① D. ②③① 39. The underlined word “that” refers to“_______”. A. Koby found her life purpose B. Koby made a big board by herself C. Koby found pictures she liked D. Koby cut out the pictures in magazines 40. What is the best title of this passage? A. Koby’s Pictures B. How to Make a Vision Board C. A Vision Board D. How Koby finds Her Life Purpose 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Koby是怎样找到她的生活的目的。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a kid, Koby’s answer was a doctor. That was a goal her parents set for her, and she wanted to make them happy.”可知，Koby的父母想要她成为一名医生。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Maybe her purpose in life wasn’t to be a teacher because she doesn’t like kids.”可知，Koby不想当老师是因为她不喜欢孩子。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“First, she looked for pictures in magazines, and they must touch her heart at first sight.”，“When that happened, Koby cut out the pictures.”和“Then, she glued them on a big board”可知，Koby制作愿望板的步骤是先寻找杂志中照片，然后剪出图片，最后把照片粘到板上。故选B。 【39题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“and they must touch her heart at first sight”可知，此处是说当这些照片初看时就打动了她，“that”指的是Koby找到了她喜欢的照片。故选C。 【40题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Koby怎样找到她的生活的目的。故选D。 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Students often learn their lessons in class.

But perhaps you don’t know what a triathlon (铁人三项) is. The triathlon is a sport that has three parts—swimming, cycling and running. It is not an easy sport, but a man named Joe Salter is very good at it. A few months ago, he finished a special triathlon—he juggled (抛起接住) three balls all the time during the triathlon. That is to say, he kept throwing and catching three balls while he was swimming, riding a bicycle and running. 31-year-old Joe is from Florida, the U.S. He loves juggling and he started at the age of 8. Joe was good at juggling. Later, he got the idea of doing a triathlon and juggling at the same time to make it more fun. Many juggling fans laughed at his idea and thought it was just a joke. But Joe didn’t give up and he kept practicing it. Because of his hard work, he made it at last. Talking about his triathlon, Joe said swimming was the hardest part. “It was difficult and complex (复杂的),” he said. “I basically (基本上) only used my legs, so it took quite a lot of work. Also, swimming in open water made it a little harder. It was not like in a pool.” 32. Why was Joe’s triathlon special? A. Because he performed juggling. B Because he picked up three balls. C. Because he threw away all his balls. D. Because he kept on catching the balls. 33. What did many juggling fans think of Joe’s idea? A. It should be laughed at. B. It could not come true. C. It could make the triathlon more exciting. D. It should be realized as soon as possible. 34. What does the underlined part “made it” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Cried. B. Failed. C. Succeeded. D. Made a joke. 35. Which of the following sayings might be Joe’s motto? A. Many hands make light work. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. All things are difficult before they are easy. D What do you want to be when you grow up? As a kid, Koby’s answer was a doctor. That was a goal her parents set for her, and she wanted to make them happy. As a teenager, Koby changed her answer to a teacher. She wanted to be a teacher because she thought it was a good and interesting job. But she didn’t think about all the hard work. When Koby was about to finish school she had second thoughts. Maybe her purpose in life wasn’t to be a teacher because she doesn’t like kids. To find her life purpose, Koby made a vision board (愿望板). First, she looked for pictures in magazines, and they must touch her heart at first sight (初看时). When that happened, Koby cut out the pictures. Then, she glued them on a big board. When she stepped back, she saw many pictures of food and people. From them, she started to see a possible future for herself. She loves food and writing, and the vision board also shows that. Koby now knows her life purpose, and she is going after it. 36. What did Koby’s parents want her to be? A. A writer. B. A teacher. C. A doctor. D. A cook. 37. Why didn’t Koby want to be a teacher? A. Because she didn’t like kids. B. Because it wasn’t a good job. C. Because she didn’t like hard work. D. Because it wasn’t an interesting job. 38.
