An American cancer survivor has become the first person to swim across the English Channel four times non-stop.
Sarah Thomas, 37, completed the great achievement on Tuesday after over 54 hours of swimming. Her record-breaking achievement came just a year after she completed treatment for breast cancer(乳腺癌).
In a video on Facebook, a small group of people could be seen cheering on the swimmer from Colorado as she made her final arrival to beach at Dover. Supporters congratulated Mrs Thomas on her non-stop swim, handing her chocolate and other gifts. In the video, Mrs Thomas admitted to feeling "a little sick" but said she had been encouraged to keep going by her husband and her team.
Before the start of her challenge, Mrs Thomas wrote that she was "fearful" and admitted she was "going to need some luck".
In a Facebook post made on Saturday, she dedicated(奉献) the swim "to all the survivors out there", adding, "This is for those of us who have wondered hopelessly about what comes next, and have overcome the pain bravely."
After her swim, Mrs Thomas said, "I'm really tired and I'm losing my voice from all the salt water." Asked what the worst part of her challenge was, she said, "Probably dealing with the salt water over two days. It really hurts your throat, your mouth and your tongue." She praised her support team for helping her stay strong, adding that she was very prepared for the weather, currents and cold water. "I feel just mostly stunned right now. I just can't believe that we did it."

四、
答案: including; called; to produce; of; the; independent; are divided; whose; forms; are
解析:①考查介词。句意:中国画有三大主题,包括花鸟、人物和乡村风景及山水。结合语境可知,此处使用介词including,意为“包括……在内”,故填including。
②考查非谓语动词。句意:中国画与被称作书法的优美书写艺术有很大关系。被修饰词handwriting与动词call之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填called。
③考查非谓语动词。句意:中国画家用黑色的墨汁来生成不同的色调,用毛笔来创作各种线条。use sth. to do sth.意为“使用某物做某事”。故填to produce。
④考查介词。句意:即使他们添加颜色,水墨画仍然是构思的基础。此处表示“构思的基础”,表示所属关系,故填of。
⑤考查冠词。句意:在鉴赏画时,中国人更注重笔法而不是主题。分析句子结构可知,前面用to the brushwork,所以此处用定冠词the表示特指。
⑥考查形容词。句意:中国画,又称传统国画,在世界美术领域有着自己独特而独立的体系。设空处应填形容词作定语,与unique并列,共同修饰名词system,故填independent。
⑦考查主谓一致、时态和语态。句意:它们被分为两种不同的风格。主语They与动词divide之间是被动关系,此处描述一般事实,所以使用一般现在时的被动语态,主语They是复数,故填are divided。
⑧考查定语从句。句意:另一种是写意,它的特点是生动的表达和强有力的轮廓。设空处引导定语从句,关系词在从句中作定语,故填关系代词whose。
⑨考查名词复数。句意:绘画的形式包括壁画、屏风、画册和扇面。设空处是该句主语,根据谓语动词include可知,此处应使用复数形式,故填forms。
⑩考查时态和主谓一致。句意:还有针对画作的独特的装饰技巧。此处是There be句型,句子描述一般事实,应使用一般现在时,且主语skills是复数,故填are。
