话题:梦想成真成就未来
I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11yearold man could, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, “You have something on your mind, don't you?”
“Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden; I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”
I immediately knew I had confided (吐露) in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face.“Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!” she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.
14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 was in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasn't the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.
It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.
As I stood on the podium (领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could. I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa.
Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador(使者) for Olympic Aid.
1.When the author spoke out what was on his mind,his grandmother________.
A.laughed at him
B.had little confidence in him
C.felt quite surprised
D.supported him
2.The author probably realized his first dream at the age of________.
A.20 B.22 C.25 D.28
3.What will the author tell us in the part following the passage?
A.His successes at other Olympic games.
B.His efforts in helping the African children.
C.His grandmother's attitude towards him.
D.His hard training in preparing for the next Olympics.
4.What is the whole passage mainly about?
A.Many dreams of a young boy.
B.A sportsman who pursued his passions.
C.The encouragement from a grandmother.
D.An Olympic hero who made a difference in the world.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者11岁时梦想成为奥运冠军,得到了祖母的支持。14年后作者如愿成为了奥运冠军,打破世界纪录,赢得了金牌。作者也开始反思自己获胜的原因,最终决心投入到帮助非洲儿童的事业中。
1.D [细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!’ she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.”可知她说:“Johann,当然!你可以做任何你想做的事”。在祖母的支持下,我开始追求我的梦想。由此可知,当作者说出他的想法时,他的祖母支持他。]
2.C [细节理解题。根据第一段“I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11yearold man could, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, ‘You have something on your mind, don't you?’(我一定是一副深思熟虑的样子,或者说像一个11岁的人一样深思熟虑,奶奶从除草中抬起头来问:‘你有心事吧?’)”以及第四段中“14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion.( 14年后,我已经准备好实现我的第一个梦想:成为奥运冠军。)”和第五段“It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.(它就这么发生了。我打破了世界纪录,赢得了金牌。)”由此可知,作者在11岁时有了成为奥运冠军的梦想,14年后作者成为了奥运冠军,所以作者可能在25岁时实现了他的第一个梦想。]
3.B [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa.(我立刻明白了这种不同是什么:非洲儿童生活中的希望。)”以及最后一段“Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador(使者) for Olympic Aid.(六个月前,我被邀请到厄立特里亚担任奥运援助大使。)”由此可推知,作者将在文章后面的部分告诉我们,他在帮助非洲儿童方面所做的努力。]
4.C [主旨大意题。根据第三段中“And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.(在祖母的支持下,我开始追求我的梦想。)”以及倒数第二段中“Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream.(为什么是我?有那么多出色的竞争者为什么是我赢了?原因肯定不止是一位对孙子的梦想抱有同样信念的祖母。)”结合文章主要记叙了作者11岁时梦想成为奥运冠军,得到了祖母的支持。14年后作者如愿成为了奥运冠军,打破世界纪录,赢得了金牌。作者也开始反思自己获胜的原因,最终决心投入到帮助非洲儿童的事业中。由此可知,文章的主要内容是祖母的鼓励。]

话题:参加学校团队运动对孩子学习的益处
It will come as no comfort to a child shivering on a playing field on a cold winter's day. But regular organised school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school faring better than those who hadn't.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners' activities with their classroom activities as they grew up.By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom.There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honouring responsibilities.”
Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six,with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behaviour in school.Meanwhile, the children's parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behaviour had.
Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behaviour in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten.Nonetheless(尽管如此),we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.”The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added:“The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.”
5.What did the researcher focus on in their research?
A.The classroom activities.
B.The results of the tests.
C.The performance at home.
D.The time spent in classrooms.
6.In the sporting environment,kids are more likely to________.
A.understand better B.follow the rules
C.respect the teachers D.give up
7.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A.How scientists carried out the research.
B.Why parents were interviewed by phone.
C.How kids behaved at home or at school.
D.How many sports kids did at school.
8.What can we infer from Prof.Pagani's words in the last paragraph?
A.The research will be of great benefit.
B.Children should go to kindergartens.
C.Schools will face low attainment.
D.Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了参加学校的团队运动对孩子未来的学习是有益处的。
5.A [细节理解题。根据第二段“Linda Pagani said:‘ We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners' activities with their classroom activities as they grew up.’”(我们利用家长和老师提供的信息,比较了幼儿园的活动和他们成长过程中的课堂活动。)”可知,研究者研究的主要是孩子们在班级的活动。]
6.B [细节理解题。根据第二段“There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honouring responsibilities.(运动环境中有一些特殊的东西——也许是一种团队归属感,一种有着共同目标的特殊群体归属感——这似乎有助于孩子们理解尊重规则和履行责任的重要性。)”可知,在体育环境中,孩子们更可能学会尊重规则,履行责任。]
7.A [主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six,with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behaviour in school.Meanwhile, the children's parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behaviour had.(研究人员开始研究2 694名6岁左右的加拿大儿童,老师们填写了关于他们在学校行为的调查问卷。同时,对孩子的父母进行了电话或面谈,了解他们的家庭生活。四年后,他们又重复了这个实验,以测试这种行为会产生什么影响。)”可知,本段介绍了该研究通过问卷调查、电话和面谈的形式进行,所以主要说明了研究是如何实施的。]
8.A [推理判断题。根据最后一段“The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.(研究结果对那些希望降低儿童肥胖率和低成绩的学校来说应该是鼓舞人心的。)”可知,研究结果对学校实现降低儿童肥胖率和低成绩是有鼓舞作用的,可推断这个研究结果是有用的。]
