Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su.
Over the past four years Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue s Olympic debut—drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs—even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
25. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
26. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working.
C. His passion for snowboarding. D. His life dream of achieving success.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Generous and productive.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.
28. What’s Su’s attitude toward his future
A. Upset. B. Hopeful. C. Anxious. D. Careful.
【答案】25. B 26. C 27. D 28. B

细节理解题。由文章第四段“‘The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,’ Su said, when asked about the secret to his success.(当被问及成功的秘诀时，苏说：“对我来说，最大的动力是我对单板滑雪的热爱。”)”可知，他对单板滑雪的热爱是他的动力，这也最终导致了他的成功。故选C项。
【27题详解】

【28题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.(我认为在我未来的职业生涯中，无论是在滑雪板还是在表演方面，我仍有很多可能性可以探索。但现在我只想享受这一刻，并把它作为最好的生日礼物来庆祝。)”可知，苏一鸣对他的将来充满希望。故选B项。
C
Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.
However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort.
While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.
When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what’s helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.
29. What can we learn about Oliver
A. He lacks creativity. B. He favours competition.
C. He works enthusiastically. D. He behaves irresponsibly.
30. What is a result of Oliver’s over-participation
A. The team generated more diverse ideas.
B. Oliver’s colleagues became less productive.
C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.
D. Oliver’s teammates were inspired to work harder.
31. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue
A. Hearing others’ voices. B. Providing specific ideas.
C. Strengthening his leadership. D. Building strong relationships.
32. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team Productive
B. When Contributing Gets in the Way of Cooperating
C. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a Discussion
D. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better Team
【答案】29. C 30. B 31. A 32. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Oliver工作很热情，但是他的过度参与反而降低了团队的工作效率，他参与得越多，他周围的人就越受冷落。于是Oliver通过倾听他人的声音，来指导同事创造他们自己的想法，从而提高团队工作效率。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.(Oliver是一家高科技公司的首席技术官，他喜欢参与所有的高层对话，无论是什么话题。他常常是第一个为一个项目举手的人，似乎有无限的能力完成高质量的工作，并主动提出帮助他的同事和直接下属。Oliver似乎全力以赴；乐观、精力充沛、乐于助人，是每个人的楷模)”可推知，Oliver工作很热情。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort. (然而，Oliver参与得越多，他周围的人就越受冷落。他的想法没有激发别人的创造力，反而比别人的更有创意。他花时间在会议上发言，耗尽了房间里的氧气水平。Oliver对自己的许多想法被采纳感到鼓舞，但对其他人的努力不足感到沮丧)”可知，Oliver参与得越多，其他同事就越沮丧、不受重视、无法激发创造力，Oliver过度参与的结果是同事们的工作效率降低了。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what's helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.(为了解决这个问题，Oliver学会了在提出自己的想法之前问两个具体问题的价值：“你有什么想法？”以及“此时什么对你最有帮助？”通过调查他人来了解什么是有帮助的，可以为我们的贡献指明更好的途径：直接通过我们的想法，通过指导同事创造他们自己的想法，或者在其他人的想法的基础上继续发展)”可知，Oliver通过问其他同事问题，来倾听他人的声音来解决这个问题。故选A。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what's helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated. (当我们过度参与时，我们认为自己是在帮助别人。然而，“帮助”是由接受者定义的，而不是给予者。Oliver非但没有改善与同事的关系，反而提出了大量的想法，剥夺了他们的成就感。他们感到沮丧、被打断、被排斥。为了解决这个问题，Oliver学会了在提出自己的想法之前问两个具体问题的价值：“你有什么想法？”以及“此时什么对你最有帮助？”通过调查他人来了解什么是有帮助的，可以为我们的贡献指明更好的途径：直接通过我们的想法，通过指导同事创造他们自己的想法，或者在其他人的想法的基础上继续发展)”结合文章主要讲述了Oliver工作很热情，但是他的过度参与（对团队的贡献）反而降低了团队的工作效率，他参与得越多，他周围的人就越受冷落，不利于合作。于是Oliver通过倾听他人的声音，来指导同事创造他们自己的想法，从而提高团队工作效率。可知，B选项“当贡献妨碍合作时”最符合文章标题。故选B。

“I’m fine, Tom. Thanks. I’m just a bit lonely,” said Tom’s aunt. Hearing that, he knew he had made a right decision.
“I’m coming this weekend. I want to spend the weekend with you,” he immediately said, thinking his aunt would be surely full of joy.
“Really That’s great! I miss you so much,” his aunt said excitedly.
Tom set off on Friday afternoon. He thought he would arrive by taxi in the evening, but there was an accident on the road and all the traffic was stopped for almost an hour. When he got off the bus, it was getting dark.
It’s a ten-minute walk from the bus station to his aunt’s house. The village had experienced a lot of changes. Tom looked around curiously. Just at that moment, another bus stopped and a girl got off the bus. The girl passed by Tom and began to walk into the village. Thinking that his aunt was waiting for him, Tom began to walk into the village, too.

Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.
Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su.
Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue s Olympic debut—drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.
“The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”
Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs—even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.”
25. What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Arrived. B. Gained. C. Created. D. Dreamed.
26. According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success
A. His acting experience. B. His talent and hard working.

27. Which of the following words can best describe Su
A. Talented and thoughtful. B. Generous and productive.
C. Creative and kind-hearted. D. Hard-working and devoted.

Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.
However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort.
While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.
When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what’s helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.
29. What can we learn about Oliver
A. He lacks creativity. B. He favours competition.
C. He works enthusiastically. D. He behaves irresponsibly.
30. What is a result of Oliver’s over-participation
A. The team generated more diverse ideas.
B. Oliver’s colleagues became less productive.
C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.
D. Oliver’s teammates were inspired to work harder.
31. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue
A. Hearing others’ voices. B. Providing specific ideas.
C. Strengthening his leadership. D. Building strong relationships.
32. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team Productive
B. When Contributing Gets in the Way of Cooperating
C. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a Discussion
D. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better Team

Tom has an aunt who lives in a far-off village. He hadn’t seen her for two years and he really missed her.
Tom spent a lot of time with his aunt when he was a little boy. At that time, his parents were too busy with their work, so they sent him to his aunt. It was his aunt who took care of him for a long time. He remembered that back then a girl sometimes played with him. But he couldn’t remember her clearly. After all, it was so many years before.
Last week, Tom decided to visit his aunt. And he called her first.
“Hello, Auntie. This is Tom. How are you ” asked Tom over the phone.
“I’m fine, Tom. Thanks. I’m just a bit lonely,” said Tom’s aunt. Hearing that, he knew he had made a right decision.
“I’m coming this weekend. I want to spend the weekend with you,” he immediately said, thinking his aunt would be surely full of joy.
“Really That’s great! I miss you so much,” his aunt said excitedly.
Tom set off on Friday afternoon. He thought he would arrive by taxi in the evening, but there was an accident on the road and all the traffic was stopped for almost an hour. When he got off the bus, it was getting dark.
It’s a ten-minute walk from the bus station to his aunt’s house. The village had experienced a lot of changes. Tom looked around curiously. Just at that moment, another bus stopped and a girl got off the bus. The girl passed by Tom and began to walk into the village. Thinking that his aunt was waiting for him, Tom began to walk into the village, too.
He walked behind the girl. After about two minutes, it seemed that the girl noticed him. She looked back hurriedly, and then continued to walk. Moments later, the girl looked back again and then quickened her pace.
