Eric swam in the 100-metre freestyle at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. However, he had just begun swimming only six months before the games! The only swimming pool for him was a hotel pool about 13 metres long, and even then he could only use it for an hour every morning. In fact, the first time he ever saw an Olympic-sized 50-metre swimming pool was at the Olympics. During his race, he swam well for the first 50 metres, but the last 15 metres of the race were 7 (especial) difficult for him. In fact, it looked like he was going to drown! But he tried hard to finish the race and won loud cheers from the crowd. Though Eric Moussambani is not an Olympic medal winner, he is still my favourite athlete. He never gave up no matter how hard it was. With hard work and practice, Eric later became quite fast at the 100 metres. His time for the 100-metre event 8 (improve) from 1 minute 52 seconds to under 57 seconds! He later became the coach of the national swimming team for Equatorial Guinea, and he is a true example of the Olympic 9 (spirit). His story shows that 10 (determine) and hard work can help us achieve great things, even if we start from a difficult position. 【答案】6．athlete 7．especially 8．improved 9．spirit 10．determination 【导语】本文是记叙文，介绍了游泳选手Eric Moussambani的参赛经历。 【详解】6．句意：你或许从未听说过我最喜欢的运动员——来自赤道几内亚的首位奥运游泳选手Eric Moussambani。此处指代后文提到的单个人物Eric Moussambani，用单数名词athlete即可。 7．句意：在比赛中，前50米他游得不错，但比赛最后的15米对他格外艰难。此处需要副词修饰形容词difficult，especial的副词形式是especially，意为“尤其，特别”。 8．句意：他的100米项目成绩从1分52秒提升到57秒以内！此处描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时，需用improve的过去式improved。 9．句意：他后来成为赤道几内亚国家游泳队的教练，他是奥林匹克精神的真正典范。固定搭配the Olympic spirit意为“奥林匹克精神”，spirit此处表示抽象精神，用单数形式。 10．句意：他的故事表明，决心与努力能够帮助我们成就大事，即使我们从艰难的处境起步。此处和“hard work”并列作宾语从句的主语，需要用名词形式，determine的名词是determination，意为“决心”。 一、完形填空 Eric Moussambani is not a famous 11 .

Although he did not win a medal, he showed great 16 and determination. He later improved his time and became a 17 for his country’s national swimming team.
