三、阅读理解
16. A hard, cold rain sweeps over an outdoor pool at the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex in South Florida, driving bystanders to crowd under a shelter.
In the pool, Dara Torres keeps swimming. Lap after regular lap,flip turn after flip turn, she cuts through her lane(泳道) with a muscular freestyle. And when lifeguards sound a lightning alarm,warning the swimmers out of the pool, she persists, refusing to stop even as the storm comes.
At 41,nearly twice the age of most world-class athletes in her sport,Torres has challenged more than just weather in her historic bid to become the first over-40 swimmer to compete in the Olympic Games. She's also ignored conventional wisdom and the dismissive(轻蔑的)comments of other athletes.
"Some competitors of mine say I’m too old," says Torres , a four-time Olympian who’s won four gold medals and is the mother of a two-year-old girl. "Someone was quoted saying. 'I don't know why she's still swimming. She should be staying at home taking care of her kid’ As long as I’m swimming as fast as they are, what’s the problem ”
Actually, she’s swimming faster. The Olympic trials begin on June 29,and Torres is currently the fastest American woman in her event: the 50-meter freestyle.
“You shouldn’t put an age on your dreams," she says. "People need to try,not say, 'I can’t do this because I’m too old.'"

16.答案:1.B; 2.A; 3.C; 4.B
解析:1.主旨大意题。从全文内容来看,主要谈论的是美国游泳运动员Torres在恶劣的环境下训练,勇于挑战天气并不服输,尽管41岁还仍然坚持训练,参加奥运会的故事,故B项符合题意。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段第一句At 41,nearly twice the age of most world-class athletes in her sport...可知,大多数世界级的游泳运动员在20岁左右。Torres是第一个在40多岁参加奥运会游泳比赛的运动员,而非世界上第一个40多岁的运动员。C与D 在文中没有体现,可见,只有A项符合题意。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段第一句的Torres,a four-time Olympian who's won four gold medals and is the mother of a two-yearold girl可知,Torres己经参加过四届奥运会了,故C项符合题意。
4.推理判断题。从文中最后一句话“People need to try, not say,‘I can’t do this because I'm too old. ’”可推知,人们需要的是尝试, 而不是说“因为我太老了,我做不了这个。”故B项符合题意。
