It was past midnight, the sky pitch black, and the chop swollen and wild. Every wave was a gamble. One moment, Koli crested high enough to see the boat bobbing far below; the next, it towered above him. Even the most sea-hardened members of his team were shaken. The kayak pilot shadowing him overturned twice. On the boat, Koli's father—once a fisherman—retched from the motion. "I had never seen waves as big as those, or such rough water. I considered abandoning the attempt. Then I thought of all the effort and resources that went in for me to get there. It gave me strength to wait it out until first light," recalls Koli, reflecting on the gruelling swim he finished in 17 hours 22 minutes, at just 17 years old. Koli's successful crossing of the Kaiwi Channel was just one notch in the series of tests that make up the Oceans Seven Challenge, the Grand Slam or World Cup of open-water swimming. Completing it requires athletes to cross seven of the most demanding stretches of open water in the world, such as the 14.4-km-wide Strait of Gibraltar and the 45-km Molokai Channel. According to longswims.com, only 34 swimmers in the world have accomplished the feat so far. By 2023, Koli had swum across the 22.5-km Cook Strait in New Zealand, becoming, at age 23, the youngest in the world to join this elite group of world-class athletes. For Sayani Das, the road was even longer. In her hometown of Kalna, 100 km north of Kolkata, she had to travel 65 km daily to train in a pond at the Rishra Swimming Club. After dominating state meets with six gold medals, she struggled to find funding at the national level—and decided to test the open waters. From training a couple of hours each day, she started investing as many as 13 hours in the Ganges near her home, even in the dead of winter. "Transitioning from short races to open water was tougher than crossing the English Channel," says Das, now 27. "I had to change everything—from diet to mindset. In freezing water, you fight not just fatigue but hypothermia." Back home, her commitment raised eyebrows. "People would walk up to my parents and ask, 'Is your girl mad? In our town, it wasn't normal for a girl to wear a swimming costume and enter the river. Even the local media questioned my pursuit. So yes, I had to face a lot during those early days. And the only way to respond was to continue doing what I was doing," says Das who crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in April to become the first Asian woman to finish six of the seven Oceans 7 trials. 二、词汇积累 1. battle (v.) 奋力应对;与…… 搏斗(熟义:n. 战斗) 搭配:battle the elements 与恶劣天气搏斗;battle depression 对抗抑郁 例句:She battled cancer for three years and finally recovered. 2. gruelling (adj.) 使人精疲力竭的;艰苦的(=exhausting) 搭配:gruelling work 繁重的工作;gruelling competition 激烈的竞争 例句:The gruelling marathon left most runners exhausted. 3. accomplish (v.) 完成;实现(=achieve) 搭配:accomplish a goal 实现目标;accomplish a task 完成任务 例句:With hard work, she accomplished her dream of becoming a doctor. 4. dominate (v.) 占据优势;主导 搭配:dominate a game 掌控比赛;dominate the market 主导市场 例句:His team dominated the tournament and won all matches. 三、长难句分析 1.

In our town, it wasn't normal for a girl to wear a swimming costume and enter the river'”,该句意为 “总有人走到我父母面前问:‘你们家姑娘是不是疯了?在我们镇上,姑娘家穿泳衣下河游泳是件不正常的事’”,由此可推断出 C 选项 “她镇上的女孩不被期望从事这类运动” 是人们质疑她的原因,表述正确。 3. 答案:A【解析】观点态度题。本题考查作者对普拉巴特・科利和萨亚尼・达斯的态度,原文通过 “the youngest in the world”(全球最年轻的完成者)、“the first Asian woman to finish six of the seven Oceans 7 trials”(首位完成 “七大海洋挑战” 中六项赛事的亚洲女性)等表述强调两人的卓越成就,同时用 “battled the stormy water”(在汹涌海水中奋力搏击)、“investing as many as 13 hours in the Ganges”(每天在恒河中训练长达 13 小时)等细节凸显两人的坚持与拼搏,字里行间传递出对两人的钦佩之情,故 A 选项 “钦佩的” 表述正确。 4. 答案:D【解析】 主旨大意题。本题考查文章核心内容,全文围绕两位印度游泳运动员展开:前半部分讲述普拉巴特・科利 17 岁横渡凯威海峡、23 岁成为全球最年轻 “七大海洋挑战” 完成者的经历与成就;后半部分讲述萨亚尼・达斯克服 “每日往返 65 公里训练”“家乡性别偏见质疑” 等困难,最终成为首位完成 “七大海洋挑战” 中六项赛事的亚洲女性的追梦过程,核心是 “两位印度游泳运动员在公开水域游泳领域的奋斗与成就”,故 D 选项表述正确。 五、语法填空 1. battling【解析】考查现在分词作伴随状语,逻辑主语 “he”(指代 Prabhat Koli)与 “battle” 为主动关系,且 “battle stormy waters and huge waves” 与 “completed the gruelling Kaiwi Channel swim” 是同时发生的动作,故填 battling。 2. abandon【解析】考查使役动词 “make” 的用法,“make sb. do sth.” 为固定搭配,意为 “使某人做某事”,后接动词原形作宾语补足语,故填 abandon。 3. gave【解析】考查一般过去时,全文围绕科利和达斯过去的经历展开,“the thought of the effort and resources invested” 给予他力量是过去发生的动作,需用一般过去时,故填 gave。 4. to join【解析】考查不定式作后置定语,当名词前有 “the youngest” 这类最高级修饰时,常用不定式作后置定语,表 “最…… 的人去做某事”,此处 “the youngest swimmer ever to join...” 意为 “有史以来最年轻的加入…… 的游泳运动员”,故填 to join。 5. have accomplished【解析】考查现在完成时,定语从句先行词 “athletes” 与 “accomplish” 为主动关系,且 “完成七大海洋挑战” 的动作从过去持续到现在(截至目前仅有 34 人完成),对现在有影响(成为世界级精英运动员),先行词为复数,故填 have accomplished。 6. most demanding【解析】考查形容词最高级,“of the seven” 表示三者及以上范围,“demanding”(有挑战性的)为多音节形容词,其最高级形式为 “most demanding”,表 “最具挑战性的”,故填 most demanding。 7. but【解析】考查转折连词,前文 “People in her town questioned her pursuit”(镇上的人质疑她的追求)与后文 “she refused to give up”(她拒绝放弃)为转折关系,需用 “but” 连接,故填 but。 8. becoming【解析】考查现在分词作结果状语,逻辑主语 “she”(指代 Sayani Das)与 “become” 为主动关系,且 “成为首位完成六项赛事的亚洲女性” 是 “横渡直布罗陀海峡” 的自然结果,故填 becoming。 9. crossing【解析】考查动名词,“than” 在此处为介词,介词后接动词时需用动名词形式,此处 “than crossing the English Channel” 可视为 “than crossing the English Channel was tough” 的省略,故填 crossing。 10. perseverance【解析】考查词性转换,“and” 连接两个并列名词作主语,“passion”(热情)为名词,故 “persevere”(动词,坚持)需转换为名词 “perseverance”(不可数名词,坚持),故填 perseverance。 $
