Unit 2　Sports Culture 分层跟踪检测(一) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共11小题;每小题2.5分,满分27.5分) A The Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.In around 80 A.D.,the Romans built the Colosseum,which remains the world’s best-known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances,seating 50,000 people.However,that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus,which accommodated around 250,000 people. These days,safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match. For the biggest stadiums in the world,we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity,as well as updated information from official stadium websites. All these stadiums are still functional,still open,and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. •Rungrado 1st of May Stadium,Pyongyang,D.P.R.Korea Capacity:150,000.Opened:May 1, 1989. •Michigan Stadium,Ann Arbor,Michigan,US Capacity:107,601.Opened:October 1, 1927. •Beaver Stadium,State College,Pennsylvania,US Capacity:106,572.Opened:September 17, 1960. •Ohio Stadium,Columbus,Ohio,US Capacity:104,944.Opened:October 7, 1922. •Kyle Field,College Station,Texas,US Capacity:102,512.Opened:September 24, 1927. 1.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold? A.104,944. B.107,601. C.About 150,000. D.About 250,000. 2.Of the following stadiums,which is the oldest? A.Michigan Stadium. B.Beaver Stadium. C.Ohio Stadium.

B Recently,as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his school team,I was feeling sorry for myself and for him.His team was facing adversity(困境) on the court,and he was playing in a hostile environment—it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters,and Nathan’s team was trailing(落后) for three quarters of the game.As for me,I had just been dismissed(解雇) from my job earlier that day. During the drive home,I kept telling myself that I would find work again in a short time—I was always confident in my experience and abilities,but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door. The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing.I saw the determination on his face as well as his teammates’ as they fought back to not only tie the game,but then go ahead by three points.Then,a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to make the game tied again.With the tied scores and seconds on the clock,Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence,he made the basket with a defender hanging all over him.The other player was called for a foul(犯规). As Nathan stood preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points,I saw the focus and determination on his face,with no room for self-doubt.Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill,as if he had done it a thousand times.  As I sat there,my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me that I had taught him perseverance(毅力) in the face of adversity,and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.He will play in the finals,but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses.At this moment,we both won. 4.What did the author estimate his son’s team would be like at first? A.The team would finally win. B.The team would lose at the away court. C.The team would lose at the home court. D.The team would tie with the opponents. 5.What does the underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Avoid. B.Focus. C.Create. D.Receive. 6.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A.His son would win in the finals and he would find a job soon. B.He had once taught his son face-to-face that they should never give up. C.It was his encouragement and help that made his son win the game. D.He would become more confident about his future after this experience. 7.What is the best title for the text? A.Life Goes Just Like Playing Basketball B.It Matters Whether to Win or Lose C.A Lesson in Life and Basketball D.A Moment of Self-doubt C Somewhere in the Southern Pacific Ocean, Kirsten Neuschäfer is alone on her boat as she tries to outfight the latest storm that crosses her path.Neuschäfer is battling to win what is possibly the most challenging competition the sailing world has to offer—the Golden Globe Race.Since setting off from the coast of France, Neuschäfer, the only woman competing, has left all competitors in her wake.Of the 16 entrants who set sail five months ago, only four are still in the race, and for the moment at least, she’s leading.  Unlike its more famous cousin, the Vendée Globe solo nonstop race with its purpose-built boats made for speed, Golden Globe entrants sail low-tech boats without modern electronic aid—no laptops or electronic charts, or complicated weather routing (气象定线).To find their position at sea, participants instead rely on celestial navigation(天文导航) and simple speed calculations. Racers don’t do it for the money.The prize of 5,000 pounds is not even enough to cover entry fees.“The single-handed aspect was the one that drew me,” Neuschäfer, who is from South Africa, says of her decision to enter.“I really like the aspect of sailing by celestial navigation,” she says, adding that she’s always wanted to know “what it would have been like back when you didn’t have all the modern technology at your fingertips.” The days on board aren’t always full of drama.A typical day, if there is such a thing, starts just before sunrise, Neuschäfer says, “a good time to get the time signal on the radio so that I can synchronize(校准) my watches,” which she needs for accurate celestial navigation.“Then... I’ll have a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal.” A walk around the deck to see if anything goes wrong and perhaps a bit of reading before another sight at noon to check her position.In a media interview conducted through an old-fashioned satellite phone on her boat, she says after the race finishes, “the first thing I’d like to do is eat ice cream.” 8.Which of the following best explains “in her wake” underlined in Paragraph 1? A.Cheering her on. B.Following her lead. C.Beside her. D.Behind her. 9.What can be inferred about the Golden Globe Race? A.It puts emphasis on team spirit. B.Its winners master traditional sailing skills. C.It is the most well-known sailing race in the world. D.Its boats are specially built to achieve higher speeds. 10.What attracted Neuschäfer to enter the Golden Globe Race? A.The challenge of unassisted sailing. B.The chance of sailing around the globe. C.The recognition from the sailing community. D.The honor coming with winning the first prize. 11.What are most of Neuschäfer’s days on board like? A.They are long and tiring. B.They are relatively peaceful. C.They are totally unpredictable. D.They are busy but manageable. Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) (2022·新高考Ⅰ卷) Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner”.One reason was:“You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,” while another read: “　12　” With a workout partner,you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙) competition.  So,how do you find a workout partner?

4.B　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,一开始的时候,作者认为自己儿子所在的球队会失败。 5.A　词句猜测题。and前后为两个并列的短语,根据短语下文“nail the free throw with such skill”可知,Nathan能够把所有的干扰都排除。由此推知,画线短语tune out意为“避免”。 6.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,儿子在比赛过程中面对困境依然坚持不懈的态度和行为,使得作者也不再自怨自艾、怀疑自我,对未来更加充满自信。 7.C　主旨大意题。作者在观看儿子的篮球比赛时,被儿子的球队所启迪,重新燃起了生活的斗志。C项中的Life与作者的生活状况呼应,其中的Basketball与作者孩子的比赛呼应,Lesson与作者的体会呼应。故选C。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了南非女航海家Kirsten Neuschfer独自参加“金球杯”帆船赛的故事。 8.D　词句猜测题。根据画线词组下文“Of the 16 entrants who set sail five months ago, only four are still in the race, and for the moment at least, she’s leading.(在五个月前起航的16名参赛者中,只有4人仍在比赛中,至少目前,她是领先。)”可知,Kirsten Neuschäfer领先于其他所有参赛选手。由此可知,她已经把所有的竞争者甩在了后面,画线词组in her wake与“Behind her.”意思一致。故选D。 9.B　推理判断题。根据第二段“Unlike its more famous cousin, the Vendée Globe solo nonstop race with its purpose-built boats made for speed, Golden Globe entrants sail low-tech boats without modern electronic aid—no laptops or electronic charts, or complicated weather routing.To find their position at sea, participants instead rely on celestial navigation and simple speed calculations.(与更著名的“Vendée Globe单人直达赛”不同,“金球奖”参赛选手驾驶的帆船技术水平较低,没有现代电子辅助设备——没有笔记本电脑或电子海图,也没有复杂的天气路线。为了找到自己在海上的位置,参与者转而依靠天文导航和简单的速度计算。)”可知,“金球奖”参赛选手驾驶的是传统帆船。由此推知,金球奖帆船赛的获胜者必须精通传统的帆船技术。故选B。 10.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘The single-handed aspect was the one that drew me,’ Neuschäfer, who is from South Africa, says of her decision to enter.‘I really like the aspect of sailing by celestial navigation,’ she says, adding that she’s always wanted to know ‘what it would have been like back when you didn’t have all the modern technology at your fingertips.’(‘单枪匹马的一面吸引了我,’来自南非的Neuschäfer在谈到她参加比赛的决定时说。‘我真的很喜欢通过天文导航来航行,’她说,并补充说,她一直想知道‘当你没有所有现代技术时,会是什么样子。’)”可知,无辅助航行的挑战吸引了Neuschäfer参加金球奖比赛。故选A。 11.B　推理判断题。文章第五段开头明确指出:"The days on board aren't always full of drama."(船上的日子并不总是充满戏剧性/惊心动魄的。)随后描述了典型的一天:日出前起床,通过无线电获取时间信号校准手表;喝杯咖啡、吃一碗麦片;在甲板上散步检查是否有异常;读会儿书;中午再进行一次天文观测确认位置。这些活动构成了一种规律、平静、有序的日常节奏，没有紧张刺激的事件,因此最符合"relatively peaceful"(相对平静的)这一描述。故选B。 Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了有健身搭档的好处,以及如何才能找到一个好的搭档。 12.C　本段空处前提到感谢健身搭档的五个理由,其中一个是“如果你知道有人在健身房等你,你就会去”,根据上文“while another read”可知,空处的内容应该是另一个理由,C项“如果你和别人一起训练,你会更努力。”符合题意。 13.D　上一段和本段开头提到关于如何找到健身搭档,首先要决定你想从那个人那里得到什么,根据下一句“Or do you just want to be physically fit...?”可知D项和它是并列关系,符合题意。 14.B　空处后“...that person must belong to the same gym”讲的是如果你打算在健身房锻炼,你和健身搭档一定得在同一个健身房,由此可推测出,空处的内容应该和距离健身搭档远近有关,B项“健身搭档通常需要住在附近。”符合语境。 15.G　本段开头提到作者的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上,接下来又对布告的内容做了具体的介绍。作者以自己搭档发布的布告为例,目的是介绍发布告的注意事项,故G项“任何健身搭档的通知都应包括这些信息。”符合题意。 16.F　空处前作者提到你和你的搭档可能有不同的技能,空处后提到随着时间的推移,你和你的搭档都会受益,可以推断,F项“接受你们的不同,学会彼此合作。”承上启下,符合语境。 Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过北京奥运会,中国希望奥林匹克精神能够向世界传达国际关系比地缘政治游戏更重要的信息。
