B The Olympics seem far away from most people, but in fact, everyone has a chance to experience them in person. A deliveryman (送货员)named Luan Yushuai got the chance.He became one of the 40,048 runners that were picked from around the world to join in the Mass Participation Marathon (大众组马拉松)at the Paris Olympics. Luan has been delivering things for about ten years.In 2021, Luan started preparing for the marathon after learning about the sign-up process.He needed to gather 100,000 points through activities like running, swimming, walking and biking by the end of the year. After getting all points, Luan got picked.Since then, he trained for about two hours every day.He also combined (结合)his work with his training.He often carried heavy things like water and rice to build up his strength and tried to avoid using lifts.With just over a month before the Paris Olympics, Luan continued to train hard, running 300 to 400 kilometres each month.Luan’s hard work paid off in the end. For Luan, running and his job are both important and meaningful parts of his life.As he nears an age when many players stop, Luan feels he is starting a new part of his story. 4.(　　)Which is the right order of the following facts? ①Luan started his delivery job about ten years ago. ②Luan continued to train hard, running monthly. ③Luan was chosen to be one of the marathon runners. ④Luan collected 100,000 points through physical activities.

C “When side by side two rabbits go, who can tell the buck (雄兔)from the doe (雌兔)?” China’s Yang Jingru and Li Jinzi “played the buck and the doe” in the women’s 1500m short track speed skating (短道速滑)event of the Winter Youth Olympic Games on 20 January 2024. They used the classic “rabbit strategy”.The key of the “rabbit strategy” is teamwork of two skaters.One skater runs very fast from the start, while the other stays behind.This is different from the usual 1500m speed skating strategy of keeping the same speed and then speeding up in the last few turns. Using the “rabbit strategy”, after the first turn, Yang suddenly skated at full speed.She ran one turn faster than the other skaters and stayed at the back of the group, but nobody noticed it. Working with Yang, Li changed between the front and the back in the first half of the race.This made the other skaters wonder who was the “leading rabbit”.In fact, when the bell rang and showed that there was only one turn to go, everyone had two turns left except Yang.At last, Yang and Li crossed the finish line successfully while others were getting into a mess. The two Chinese short track speed skating players cleverly used the “rabbit strategy”.They won both gold and silver medals, making it a classic example at the Winter Youth Olympic Games. 7.(　　)How does the writer start the passage? A.By asking a question. B.By listing numbers. C.By telling a story. D.By giving an example. 8.(　　)What’s the key to the “rabbit strategy”? A.Practice. B.Skills. C.Teamwork. D.Chances. 9.(　　)What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代)? A.Yang fell behind the other skaters. B.One skater ran very fast from the start. C.Yang ran one turn faster than the other skaters. D.Yang kept the same speed and sped up in the last few turns. 10.(　　)What is the best title for the passage? A.The Rabbit Strategy B.The Buck and the Doe C.The Winter Youth Olympic Games D.The Strategies in Olympic History D Lots of junior high school students enjoy sports.My classmates and I had a lot of fun at our school’s annual(一年一度的)sports meet last week. It was pretty special for me because I participated (参与)in the 800-metre race for the first time.Though I ran hard every day, I was still anxious on the day of the meet. As we lined up, my arms were shaking and my heart was pounding (怦怦跳)quickly.Facing the endless runway, I felt like a boat facing the wind and rain.I reminded myself that simply participating is a victory itself.I started to calm down. Just then, the starting gun went off and all the runners rushed out like tigers running down a hill.It wasn’t until I finished the first lap (一圈)that I realized that I’d run so fast that I’d used up almost all my energy.But I had to keep running.For the last 100 metres, blue veins stood out (青筋暴起)on my forehead and I felt like I couldn’t breathe.Looking at the runners in front of me, as they got closer to the finish line, I really wanted to stop running and sit down.I reminded myself that perseverance (毅力)is a victory and it filled me with strength again.With my remaining strength, I ran to the end of the track with great effort. I ended up coming in seventh place.This might have been a minor(微小的)achievement to other people, but it made me feel happy and excited.I pushed myself to my limit. 11.(　　)Why was the sports meet special for the writer this year? A.Because he participated in the 800-metre race. B.Because he got a lot of fun. C.Because it was the last year of his junior high school. D.Because it was the last time he took part in the sports meet. 12.(　　)How did the writer feel just before the 800-metre race? A.Calm. B.Nervous. C.Sad. D.Happy. 13.(　　)When did the writer feel that he couldn’t breathe? A.When he started the race. B.When he ran for the first lap. C.When he ran for the last 100 metres. D.When he won the race. 14.(　　)In which position did the writer finish? A.The first place. B.The second place. C.The seventh place.
