In the 2004 Olympic Games，Figueroa’s first appearance，he had a less-than-perfect performance but was still able to swing a fifth-place finish.He looked forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as a way to redeem himself.Unfortunately，just two weeks before the big event，he ended up with a hand injury.This injury set him back severely in his weightlifting and ended up costing him the competition. By the London Olympic Games in 2012，Figueroa came back readier than ever.He had an incredible run that year and took home the silver medal.But in spite of all he’d already experienced，he still aimed higher.In 2016，he headed to Rio to earn the highest prize—and claim that prize he did！After his final lift，knowing just how incredible his performance had been，Figueroa fell to the ground in tears.In a few moments，he took off his shoes and put them on the stage，symbolizing his decision to finally retire from his time as an Olympian.Amazingly enough，he took home the gold that year! No matter how hard he fell，he never gave up，serving as a powerful example of hope，perseverance，and determination.Now，he can officially say he is the first Colombian man to have ever taken home the gold in his category.“I was so low in Beijing，and I am so high here，” he told IWF at the 2016 Olympics.“It’s 22 years since I started and now is the time to retire...But I am full of emotion—it’s as though I was lifting for the whole country，and those tears were for all of Colombia.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了哥伦比亚举重运动员Oscar Figueroa在经历四届奥运会之后最终获得金牌的故事。 1．Which can replace the underlined word “redeem” in paragraph 2? A．Forgive. B．Thank. C．Prove. D．Abandon. 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据第二段中“In the 2004 Olympic Games，Figueroa’s first appearance，he had a less-than-perfect performance but was still able to swing a fifth-place finish.”可知，Figueroa在2004年奥运会上的表现并不完美。所以画线词所在句“He looked forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as a way to redeem himself.”是说他期待着2008年北京奥运会来证明自己。故选C。 2．When did Figueroa win the gold medal? A．In 2004. B．In 2016. C．In 2008. D．In 2012. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2016，he headed to Rio to earn the highest prize—and claim that prize he did！”可知，Figueroa于2016年获得金牌。故选B。 3．Why did Figueroa take off his shoes in the Rio Olympic Games? A．He had no intention of retiring. B．He was determined to retire as an Olympian. C．The broken shoes forced him to retire. D．He had to retire due to his injured foot. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a few moments，he took off his shoes and put them on the stage，symbolizing his decision to finally retire from his time as an Olympian.”可知，Figueroa在里约奥运会上脱下鞋子是因为他决心以奥运选手的身份退役。故选B。 4．In which section of a newspaper can we read this text? A．Entertainment. B．Health. C．Education. D．Sports. 答案　D 解析　文章出处题。本文主要讲述了哥伦比亚举重运动员Oscar Figueroa在经历四届奥运会之后最终获得金牌的故事。所以本文最有可能出现在报纸的体育版面。故选D。 B Look at your modern TV，and you see nothing less than a technological miracle.Scientists began experimenting with the concept of television more than a century ago.But decades would pass before it was brought to the public at the 1939 World’s Fair.More time passed before TV sets were in stores—and even then，it took a while until most people had one. During the 1950s，TVs were expensive，screens were small and the pictures weren’t always clear.Moreover，early programs were in black and white；color wasn’t in wide use until the mid-1960s.Viewers didn’t have a lot of choice，either.Instead of hundreds of channels to choose from，most cities offered only three or four. Early TVs worked with the use of analog(模拟的) signals.Here’s how they worked：Using a giant transmission tower，the local television station sent those waves through the air.Antennas on the roofs of buildings and homes received those waves and transported the signal to the television sets inside.By 2009，TV stations replaced analog signals with digital signals，which is the standard used today. Modern digital TV uses different information streams.For example，one stream is for the picture；another stream is for the audio.Pictures are created by basic units called pixels(像素)．Your screen has tens of thousands of pixels.Basically，three colors—red，blue and green—form other colors in various combinations，and the picture is created from all the pixels together.Groups of bits are formed into larger units called bytes(字节)，which are the link between the content you’re watching and your TV.Your digital smart TV has an interface that allows you to control all the functions.Basically，a smart TV is a computer，large monitor and receiver all in one package. In the future，there will be more functions equipped in your cellphone and TV，thus offering you more choices.Whether the TV will be a screen for your cellphone is up to you. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电视机的发展史以及早期的电视机和现代电视机是如何接收信号等内容。 5．Which of the following was a new characteristic of the TV sets in the mid-1960s? A．The screens were small. B．The pictures were unclear. C．The pictures were colored. D．Many channels were offered. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Moreover，early programs were in black and white；color wasn’t in wide use until the mid-1960s.”可知，直到20世纪60年代中期，电视节目的画面才是彩色的，由此可知，20世纪60年代中期电视机的新特点是画面是彩色的。故选C。 6．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A．The development of TVs. B．The working process of TVs. C．The problems viewers meet.
