VI.阅读理解 In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and in each race they try to achieve their new personal best. For one Nebraska teen running in what would likely be his final cross-country outing before graduating from high school, his personal best turned out not to be marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart. Although it was a long shot when he came out from the starting position last Thursday, Brandon Schutt from Bellevue East High School knew if his time was good enough that day, he still had the potential to qualify for the upcoming state meet. A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realised he wasn’t going to be able to keep up the necessary momentum (势头). Rather than risking injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply get pleasure from the moment and the day. Meanwhile, Blake Cerveny from Omaha Burke High School was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny’s legs cramped up (抽筋), but he didn’t give up. Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters and again… About 100 meters away from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out. Before Cerveny’s dad could reach his son, Brandon Schutt was at his side to offer a helping hand. The two completed the final meters of the course. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. In today’s competitive world, while the emphasis in athletics is so often on breaking records, it is inspiring to see an athlete like Brandon Schutt. 1.What does the underlined phrase “a long shot” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Simple to compete. B. Unlikely to succeed. C. Exciting to be qualified. D. Surprising to break records. 2.Why did Brandon Schutt slow down after a mile? A. To have a final push. B. To help Blake Cerveny. C. To examine his wounds. D. To enjoy the competition. 3.What can we learn about Blake Cerveny in the race? A. He didn’t cross the finish line. B. He was generous in helping others. C. He was a person of determination. D. He was affected by his physical disability. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A. The love for sports. B. The sport of track and field. C. The importance of perseverance. D. The value of true sportsmanship. B In the past 70 years, physical activity in America has transformed from a necessity of daily life into an often-expensive leisure activity, and has reformed itself as the basis of people’s social position. “In the 1950s and 1960s, the problem of body health became a common concern, and exercise developed; it had to develop—because people realised that a lot of us were going to die of heart attacks, "Shelly McKenzie, the author of Getting Physical: The Rise of Fitness Culture in America, told me. With new middle-class needs coming into new marketing, Jack LaLanne's instructional exercise TV show introduced much of the country to the active pursuit of physical fitness in 1951, paving the way for workout tapes from fitness superstars such as Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda. In the 1970s, exercise began to come outside the home, both through the popularisation of jogging and weightlifting and in more organized ways, such as Jazzercise classes. No matter how they package it, these businesses aren’t just selling physical activity; they’re providing people with a way to stick to expectations that the industry itself helps set. “Exercise, and especially public exercise, came to indicate mental, emotional, and even spiritual health and virtue,” Marc Stern wrote in 2008. “In return for the effort, gym-goers attain (获得) the type of body that proves their virtue to all who see them.” That these physical standards are difficult to achieve is the point. “We live in a culture in which being diligent is highly praised,” Petrzela, the New School professor, who is working on a book about fitness’s place in American culture, told me. “Many people want to be regarded as people who value exercise, because it shows they’re committed to self-improvement, and to hard work.” Above and beyond movement itself, part of the satisfaction of gym-going comes from performing those values around other people who share them, and from achieving what that community regards as success. 6.Why did exercise develop in the 1950s and 1960s? A. Exercise was a necessity in daily life. B. People realised the importance of body health. C. Exercise was an often-expensive leisure activity. D. People regarded exercise as the foundation of people’s social position. 7.What does NOT make people gain satisfaction from going to the gym? A. Seeing some superstars in the gym. B. The same values around other people. C. Achieving success defined by that group of people. D. Being regarded as people who’re committed to self-improvement. 8.What is the text mainly about? A. How to keep healthy. B. Why American people want to gain virtue. C. Why physical activity developed in America. D. How physical activity developed in America. VII. 七选五 Danielle Waterman, an English woman rugby (橄榄球) player, is interviewed and talks about her experience and opinions about the sport. Having two older brothers taught me a lot about survival. 1 We’d play rugby together and if I wanted to play against my brothers, who I looked up to, I had to be good enough. It made me determined. I was lucky to have supportive parents, especially my mother, who was my role model. 2 It’s different now, with lots of amazing women in British sport as positive examples to young girls. The situation for women’s sport has improved, but there’s a long way to go. The regularity of male sport allows the public to be familiar with teams and players. 3 A few years ago, I got hurt in my knee and was told I couldn’t play again. 4 That’s when I really recognised the challenges I was facing mentally, as well as coping with my physical pain. No matter how much I trained, I wouldn’t improve unless I was happier and more confident. I realised I needed to get help for my mental health. Without that support, I wouldn’t have played again. 5 When I was injured, my immediate reaction was, ‘I need to keep going.’ I’ve built up a strong will but it’s basically because I love what I do. When I play rugby, I work with other people, deal with failure and overcome difficulties—all these make me open-minded and determined. Rugby develops confidence in me around achieving and self-belief. A. That’s what women’s sport needs. B. Sometimes I did feel different from other girls. C. I never thought of myself as different from them. D. Playing rugby is my passion, and it enriches me. E. However, I decided to insist on and to get to the Olympics. F. As well as the physical side, this sport also leads me to a happy life. G. There weren’t many female role models in sport when I was growing up. 参考答案 I.1. cheat 2. remarkable 3. muddy 4. association 5. yoga II.1. Reading 2. It 3. telling 4. makes 5. competition 6.

The regularity of male sportallowsthe public to be familiar with teams and players.”可知，女性体育运动的情况有所改善，但是还是不如男性体育运动。空前提到男性体育运动。由此可推知空处应提及女性体育运动以进行对比。A项“那正是女性体育运动所需要的东西。”与上文形成对比，符合语境。故选A。 4．E 根据空后“That＇s when I．．．my physical pain．”可知，她知道自己面临的挑战既有精神层面的也有身体层面的；而空前“A few years ago，...again.”提到的是身体层面遇到的困难和挑战，所以空处应提及精神层面会遇到的挑战。E项“然而，我决定坚持下去，去参加奥运会。”提到了作者的决心和毅力，符合上下文语境。故选E。 5．D 空处位于段首，为本段中心句。根据下文中的“...because I love what I do.”可知，打橄榄球是她的爱好；而下文中的“...all these make me open-minded anddetermined.
