The Olympic Games
[1]Every four years, thousands of highly trained and talented
athletes① gather together in the spirit of② friendship, solidarity③ and fair
play④, ready to test their abilities against each other in the hope of being
recognized as the best of the best⑤.This is the Olympics⑥ — an
extraordinary sporting event that was first celebrated about 3,000 years
ago.
[Subheading 1] History of the Olympic Games
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BCE⑦.During the
early Games, only Greek men were allowed to participate⑧.They
competed⑨ in such events as boxing, running and the long jump.The
ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece every four years
for almost 12 centuries, until they eventually died out around the year
393.
More than 1,500 years later, however, the Games rose⑩
again.The modern Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens.[2]It was
a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to
life .[3] His dream was that the Olympics would help people of different
racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace.For
over a century, people from diverse backgrounds have made joint
efforts to help realize Coubertin’s dream.

[Subheading 2] Well-known Olympians/Olympic athletes
[4]Motivated by the original Olympic motto “Faster,
Higher, Stronger”, many well-known athletes, both male and
female, have devoted themselves to achieving sporting excellence and
pushing the boundaries of human achievement.One such Olympian was
the boxer Cassius Clay.[5]He came to public attention during the 1960
Rome Olympics, when he won the light heavyweight gold medal for the
USA, demonstrating great talent and personality in the
process.Afterwards , this young man proceeded to become the world
heavyweight champion in 1964, and later changed his name to the one we
all know—Muhammad Ali.He returned to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic
Games to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony.[6]By the
time he died in 2016, Ali had been recognized as one of the greatest
boxers of all time .
[4]Motivated by ...为过去分词短语作原因状语,both male and

[7]Another sportsperson that should be applauded is Jessica Ennis-
Hill.Her story is a remarkable example of how hard work and devotion can
lead to sporting excellence.A former track and field athlete from the
UK, she won an Olympic gold medal in her home country in 2012.As if
that were not enough, she returned to the Olympics and won a silver
medal in 2016, just two years after giving birth to her first child.[8]In
an interview she revealed that the secret of her consistent good
performance was the training that she never missed.

[Subheading 3] China and the Olympics/China’s contribution to the
Olympics
The 2008 Beijing Olympics called on the whole world to join in the
Olympic spirit and build a better future for humanity with the slogan
“One World, One Dream”.In addition to hosting the Olympics for the
first time, China also ranked first in the medal table.This success is
truly remarkable if you consider that just 24 years before, at the 1984 Los
Angeles Olympics, Xu Haifeng won our country’s first-ever gold
medal.Since then the upward trend for Chinese sport has been
unstoppable .[9]At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang
became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men’s 110-metre
hurdles , while at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the Chinese women’s
volleyball team won a hard-fought victory in the final.Another historic
moment for China came when Beijing successfully hosted the 2022 Winter
Olympics after winning the election in 2015.
The Olympic Games bring joy and excitement to people across the
world.[10]As Coubertin believed, “With the Olympic Games, each
generation celebrates its advent , its joy of living, its faith in the
future, its ambition and its will to ascend .”
[9]句中while用作并列连词,表示对比。前一个分句中,
Asian被序数词first修饰,故用动词不定式短语to win the gold
medal in the men’s 110-metre hurdles作后置定语。
[10]句中As引导非限制性定语从句,As指代后面整个句子的

【参考译文】
奥林匹克运动会
每过四年,成千上万名训练有素、天赋过人的运动员,本着友
谊、团结和公平竞争的精神聚集在一起准备互相较量,希望能成为举
世公认的顶尖选手。这就是奥运会——一场可以追溯到约 3000 年前
的非凡的体育赛事。
[小标题1] 奥运会的历史
古代奥林匹克运动会始于公元前 776 年。早期的奥运会只允许希
腊男性参赛。他们的竞赛项目包括拳击、赛跑和跳远。古代奥林匹克
运动会每四年在希腊的奥林匹亚举办,持续了近 12 个世纪,直到公
元 393 年前后才最终停办。
然而 1500 多年后,奥运会旧火重燃。1896 年,第一届现代奥运
会在雅典举办。是一位叫皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦的法国人使奥运会重现生
机。他的梦想是借助奥运会让不同种族、不同文化的人和平地生活在
一起。一个多世纪以来,来自不同背景的人们共同努力,帮助实现顾
拜旦的梦想。
[小标题2] 著名的奥运会运动员
在原先的奥运口号“更快、更高、更强”的激励下,许多著名的
男女运动员致力于在体育运动方面追求卓越,突破人类成就的极限。
拳击手卡修斯·克莱就是这样一名奥运会选手。他在 1960 年罗马奥运
会上引起了公众的关注,当时他为美国赢得了轻重量级拳击金牌,在
比赛过程中展现了过人的天赋与优秀的品性。后来,这位年轻人又在
1964 年成了世界重量级拳击冠军,之后将名字改成了我们耳熟能详的
穆罕默德·阿里。1996 年,他重返亚特兰大奥林匹克运动会,在开幕
式上点燃了奥运火炬。在 2016 年过世前,阿里已被公认为有史以来
最伟大的拳击手之一。
另一位值得称赞的运动员是杰西卡·恩尼斯-希尔。她的故事为我
们出色地示范了如何通过勤奋和专注取得优异的体育成绩。作为一名
前英国田径运动员,2012 年,她在自己的祖国赢得了一块奥运金牌。
但是她仿佛认为那还不够,2016年,在生下第一个孩子仅仅两年后,
她又重返奥运赛场并斩获一块银牌。她在采访中透露,自己维持良好
表现的秘诀在于从来不缺席训练。
[小标题3] 中国和奥运会/中国对奥运会的贡献
2008 年北京奥运会以“同一个世界,同一个梦想”为口号,号召
全世界共享奥运精神,为人类共建美好未来。中国不仅是第一次举办
奥运会,更是在奖牌榜上位列第一。这份成功着实令人瞩目,考虑到
仅仅 24 年前,许海峰才在 1984 年洛杉矶奥运会上为我们国家摘得了
史上第一块金牌。从那时起,中国体育的上升势头就不可阻挡了。
2004 年雅典奥林匹克运动会上,刘翔成为亚洲赢得男子 110米跨栏金
牌的第一人,而在 2016 年里约热内卢奥林匹克运动会上,中国女子
排球队在决赛中艰苦作战取得了胜利。对于中国来说,又一个历史性
时刻是北京在2015年赢得选举后成功举办了2022 年冬季奥运会。
奥林匹克运动会给全世界人民带来了喜悦和激动。正如顾拜旦所
信奉的:“有了奥林匹克运动会,每一代人都能庆祝他们的到来、他
们生活的喜悦、他们对未来的信念、他们的雄心,以及他们进取的决
心。”

第五步:拓视野,育思维品质
1. Do you think the Olympic Games can help people of different racial
origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace? Why or
why not?(Critical Thinking 批判性思维)
I believe that the Olympic Games can help people of different racial
origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace because
sport focuses on a person’s athletic capabilities and not on the colour of
their skin or cultural background.The Olympic Games, by celebrating
sportsmanship worldwide,draw attention to the hard work that athletes
put in and the devotion they have to their specific sport.Sports fans do
not care about race or culture either,but instead,are impressed by the
athletes’ physical and mental abilities and show their appreciation for
every athlete’s effort.
2. How do you understand Coubertin’s words at the end of the website
article?(Creative Thinking 创造性思维)
I think Coubertin’s words mean that the Olympic Games would have a
positive influence on the world well into the future.Coubertin believed
that through the “joy of living”and “faith in the future”, the
Games would make the future better so that people of all races and
cultures could live in harmony.When Coubertin said “its ambition and
its will to ascend”, he was referring to how the Games would
motivate humans to strive for greater and greater ambitions with each
generation, making humanity stronger over time.

Somewhere in the Southern Pacific Ocean, Kirsten Neusch fer is
alone on her boat as she tries to outfight the latest storm that crosses her
path. Neusch fer 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, Neusch fer, 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 aids — 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,” Neusch fer, 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, Neusch fer 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 (甲板) 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 (卫星)
phone on her boat, she says after the race finishes, “The first thing I’d
like to do is eat ice cream.”

1. 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.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句可知,五个月前,16
名参赛者从法国出发,目前她是处于领先地位的。由此可推知,画
线部分所在句的意思应为:Neusch fer把所有竞争对手都“甩在后
面”。
2. 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.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,参加这项环球帆船
赛的选手需要在没有现代电子设备的情况下驾驶复古船型,他们只
能依靠天文导航以及简单的速度计算来完成航行竞赛。由此可推
知,这项比赛的获胜者熟练掌握了传统的航海技术。
3. What attracted Neusch fer 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.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段中Neusch fer关于其参赛决定的
话语可知,这项赛事吸引她的方面就是需要独立完成竞赛,她很喜
欢传统的天文导航方式,想知道在没有现代技术的时代是如何航海
的。由此可知,正是这种无辅助航海的模式吸引了她前来参赛。
4. What are most of Neusch fer’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.

In 2022, I averaged 9,370 steps a day. I knew. I counted. Or rather
my cellphone counted. I carried it everywhere — not so much to catch
every call as to catch every step. My daily aim? Ten thousand steps. Yet
the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not
in science but in a marketing trick of a Japanese pedometer (计步器)
called Manpo-kei, which means 10,000 steps meter.
“It was just sort of an attractive phrase,” says I-Min Lee, an
epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s
Hospital in Boston.Taking that many steps daily is challenging but doable
for many people. “Sure, if you get 10,000 steps, it seems like a good
goal. But there was not really any basis to it.”
The current physical activity guidelines in the US are still mainly
based on time. Experts reviewed hundreds of previous studies on exercise
and health.Nearly all were based on self-reports of physical activity,
meaning the data were probably not accurate. Because of that room for
error, the experts ended up recommending broad exercise ranges and not
step counts: 150 to 300 minutes of weekly moderate activity like fast
walking or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity like jogging.
Now evidence about steps is starting to come in. According to the
latest studies, people younger than 60 should walk 8,000 to 10,000
steps a day to get the most benefits. People older than 60 show the most
benefits between 6,000 and 8,000 steps.7,000 to 9,000 steps a day is
roughly equivalent to (等同于) 150 to 300 minutes of fast walking each
week. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30
minutes at 6 miles an hour use the same amount of energy. The older you
are, the less efficient you are with your steps.Per step, older people
expend (消耗) more energy. As a result, they need fewer steps to
achieve the same benefits.
In addition, the total number of steps you take does appear to matter more
than the speed at which you take them.

5. What is the main purpose of the author carrying his cellphone
everywhere?
A. To keep it safe.
B. To count his steps.
C. To avoid missing incoming calls.
D. To compare it with a Japanese pedometer.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Or rather my cellphone
counted.I carried it everywhere — not so much to catch every call as to
catch every step.可知,作者不管到哪儿都携带手机主要是为了通过
手机记录行走的步数。
6. What is I-Min Lee’s attitude towards the goal of 10,000 steps a day?
A. Confused. B. Confident.
C. Interested. D. Doubtful.
解析: 观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句可知,I-Min Lee表
示,虽然日行10000步看起来是个不错的目标,但实际上是没有任
何依据的。由此可推知,I-Min Lee对这个目标持怀疑的态度。
7. What is the disadvantage of previous studies on exercise and health?
A. They failed to conclude practical guidelines.
B. They included limited types of physical activities.
C. They were probably based on inaccurate information.
D. They were specifically targeted for weekly fitness amounts.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,专家们发
现,以往关于运动和健康的研究几乎都是基于身体活动的自我报告
展开的,这些数据很有可能并不准确。
8. What can be inferred from the latest studies?
A. Running is better for health than fast walking.
B. One’s walking speed reflects his health condition.
C. The recommended amount of exercise varies with age.
D. Old people need to exercise longer than young people daily.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句可推知,不同年

In the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible
displays of athletic talents as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a
popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best
examples to showcase the “superhuman” power of athletes.
Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky.
How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how
they make it. It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力
学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag.
To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three
elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us
towards an object. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air —
as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒), the particles
are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At
the same time, this interaction creates drag, and slows down an object’s
movement.
While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can
twist their bodies into positions allowing them to achieve greater lift and
avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine,
“To do this, athletes try their best to make their skis and body nearly
parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form
of the body.This position increases the surface area that produces lift and
puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize lift.”
Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly
controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair
advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes
cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day
water weight changes as little as 300 grams.It can mean that suits will not
be tight enough according to their body mass indexes (BMI) (体重指
数).

9. What does the underlined word “It” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. Athletic talent. B. Ski jumping.
C. Physical science. D. Superhuman power.
解析: 代词指代题。第一段最后一句引出话题——跳台滑雪。
再根据画线词所在句可知,它涉及使用空气动力学定律来对抗重
力,增加升力,同时减少阻力。由此可猜测,It指的是“跳台滑
雪”。
10. What contributes to lift in ski jumping?
A. The interaction between force and drag.
B. The interaction between gravity and balance.
C. The interaction between skiers and air particles.
D. The interaction between air particles and gravity.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知,滑雪者和空气微
粒之间的相互作用产生跳台滑雪的升力。
11. What is required to ensure fair play in ski jumping?
A. Standardized equipment.
B. Specially made suits.
C. Strict control of athletes’ height.
D. Much daily water intake.
解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知,标准化的装备
确保跳台滑雪比赛的公平进行。
12. What’s the main focus of the text?
A. The techniques used by ski jumpers.
B. Rules of the ski jumping competition.
C. Excellent performances in ski jumping.
D. The scientific principles behind ski jumping.
解析: 主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其是第三段中的To
understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three
elements: gravity, lift and drag.可知,本文主要关注的是跳台滑

A report by the World Health Organization concludes a majority of
teenagers worldwide aren’t physically active enough.Many children don’t
participate in any extra-curricular (课外的) activities. 13 In fact,
participating in high-quality PE classes provides numerous benefits for
students.Now let’s take a look at some of them.
14
A PE class is the ideal setting for developing healthy habits and
acquiring an understanding of one’s own body.Daily physical education
encourages children to be physically active and develop abilities and skills
which are beneficial for them both physically and emotionally throughout
their lives.
Helping reduce stress and anxiety.
15 When kids are allowed to be active and move their bodies at
school, it becomes a natural body and mind energizer that makes the rest
of the day far more enjoyable. Physical activity can help to improve mood
and emotional stability, and prevent anxiety disorders as well.
Boosting academic learning.
Numerous studies have shown that there is a strong link between
physical activity and academic achievement.PE can improve
concentration, attention, and memory, as well as reduce stress and
fatigue (疲劳). It can also help to improve mood and energy levels in
kids. 16
Strengthening relationships with others.
In PE lessons, students are frequently asked to work together to
complete certain tasks. This allows them to strengthen relationships with
their classmates. 17 PE can also teach students how to better manage
conflict and help develop communication skills. These factors contribute to
the development of strong, healthy relationships with others.
A. Encouraging physical activity for life.
B. Developing a strong sense of teamwork.
C. In some cases, these relationships can last a lifetime.
D. All of these factors can lead to improved grades and test scores.
E. PE can be the perfect means for students to take the pressure off.
F. Students can also learn how to handle winning and losing gracefully.
G. What would happen if teenagers were no longer given access to quality
PE?

In 2022, I averaged 9,370 steps a day. I knew. I counted. Or rather my cellphone counted. I carried it everywhere — not so much to catch every call as to catch every step. My daily aim? Ten thousand steps. Yet the concept of taking 10,000 steps a day to maintain health is rooted not in science but in a marketing trick of a Japanese pedometer (计步器) called Manpo-kei, which means 10,000 steps meter.
“It was just sort of an attractive phrase,” says I-Min Lee, an epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.Taking that many steps daily is challenging but doable for many people. “Sure, if you get 10,000 steps, it seems like a good goal. But there was not really any basis to it.”
The current physical activity guidelines in the US are still mainly based on time. Experts reviewed hundreds of previous studies on exercise and health.Nearly all were based on self-reports of physical activity, meaning the data were probably not accurate. Because of that room for error, the experts ended up recommending broad exercise ranges and not step counts: 150 to 300 minutes of weekly moderate activity like fast walking or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity like jogging.
Now evidence about steps is starting to come in. According to the latest studies, people younger than 60 should walk 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day to get the most benefits. People older than 60 show the most benefits between 6,000 and 8,000 steps.7,000 to 9,000 steps a day is roughly equivalent to (等同于) 150 to 300 minutes of fast walking each week. Walking for 60 minutes at 3.3 miles an hour and running for 30 minutes at 6 miles an hour use the same amount of energy. The older you are, the less efficient you are with your steps.Per step, older people expend (消耗) more energy. As a result, they need fewer steps to achieve the same benefits. In addition, the total number of steps you take does appear to matter more than the speed at which you take them.
5.What is the main purpose of the author carrying his cellphone everywhere?
A.To keep it safe.
B.To count his steps.
C.To avoid missing incoming calls.
D.To compare it with a Japanese pedometer.
6.What is I-Min Lee’s attitude towards the goal of 10,000 steps a day?
A.Confused. B.Confident.
C.Interested. D.Doubtful.
7.What is the disadvantage of previous studies on exercise and health?
A.They failed to conclude practical guidelines.
B.They included limited types of physical activities.
C.They were probably based on inaccurate information.
D.They were specifically targeted for weekly fitness amounts.
8.What can be inferred from the latest studies?
A.Running is better for health than fast walking.
B.One’s walking speed reflects his health condition.
C.The recommended amount of exercise varies with age.
D.Old people need to exercise longer than young people daily.

In the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athletic talents as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to showcase the “superhuman” power of athletes.
Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they make it. It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag.
To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒), the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, and slows down an object’s movement.
While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions allowing them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine,“To do this, athletes try their best to make their skis and body nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body.This position increases the surface area that produces lift and puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize lift.”
Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams.It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes (BMI) (体重指数).
9.What does the underlined word “It” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Athletic talent. B.Ski jumping.
C.Physical science. D.Superhuman power.
10.What contributes to lift in ski jumping?
A.The interaction between force and drag.
B.The interaction between gravity and balance.
C.The interaction between skiers and air particles.
D.The interaction between air particles and gravity.
11.What is required to ensure fair play in ski jumping?
A.Standardized equipment.
B.Specially made suits.
C.Strict control of athletes’ height.
D.Much daily water intake.
12.What’s the main focus of the text?
A.The techniques used by ski jumpers.
B.Rules of the ski jumping competition.
C.Excellent performances in ski jumping.
D.The scientific principles behind ski jumping.

A report by the World Health Organization concludes a majority of teenagers worldwide aren’t physically active enough.Many children don’t participate in any extra-curricular (课外的) activities. 13 In fact, participating in high-quality PE classes provides numerous benefits for students.Now let’s take a look at some of them.
14
A PE class is the ideal setting for developing healthy habits and acquiring an understanding of one’s own body.Daily physical education encourages children to be physically active and develop abilities and skills which are beneficial for them both physically and emotionally throughout their lives.
Helping reduce stress and anxiety.
15 When kids are allowed to be active and move their bodies at school, it becomes a natural body and mind energizer that makes the rest of the day far more enjoyable. Physical activity can help to improve mood and emotional stability, and prevent anxiety disorders as well.
Boosting academic learning.
Numerous studies have shown that there is a strong link between physical activity and academic achievement.PE can improve concentration, attention, and memory, as well as reduce stress and fatigue (疲劳). It can also help to improve mood and energy levels in kids. 16
Strengthening relationships with others.
In PE lessons, students are frequently asked to work together to complete certain tasks. This allows them to strengthen relationships with their classmates. 17 PE can also teach students how to better manage conflict and help develop communication skills. These factors contribute to the development of strong, healthy relationships with others.
A.Encouraging physical activity for life.
B.Developing a strong sense of teamwork.
C.In some cases, these relationships can last a lifetime.
D.All of these factors can lead to improved grades and test scores.
E.PE can be the perfect means for students to take the pressure off.
F.Students can also learn how to handle winning and losing gracefully.
G.What would happen if teenagers were no longer given access to quality PE?

语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了Kirsten Neusch fer参加环球帆船赛事的经历。
1.D 词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句可知,五个月前,16名参赛者从法国出发,目前她是处于领先地位的。由此可推知,画线部分所在句的意思应为:Neusch fer把所有竞争对手都“甩在后面”。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,参加这项环球帆船赛的选手需要在没有现代电子设备的情况下驾驶复古船型,他们只能依靠天文导航以及简单的速度计算来完成航行竞赛。由此可推知,这项比赛的获胜者熟练掌握了传统的航海技术。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中Neusch fer关于其参赛决定的话语可知,这项赛事吸引她的方面就是需要独立完成竞赛,她很喜欢传统的天文导航方式,想知道在没有现代技术的时代是如何航海的。由此可知,正是这种无辅助航海的模式吸引了她前来参赛。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,Neusch fer在船上的生活并不总是充满戏剧性,多数时候都像日常生活一样,是相对平静的。
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。每天走10000步真的有利于健康吗?
5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Or rather my cellphone counted.I carried it everywhere — not so much to catch every call as to catch every step.可知,作者不管到哪儿都携带手机主要是为了通过手机记录行走的步数。
6.D 观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句可知,I-Min Lee表示,虽然日行10000步看起来是个不错的目标,但实际上是没有任何依据的。由此可推知,I-Min Lee对这个目标持怀疑的态度。
7.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,专家们发现,以往关于运动和健康的研究几乎都是基于身体活动的自我报告展开的,这些数据很有可能并不准确。
8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句可推知,不同年龄的人,每天适宜的运动量也不同。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了跳台滑雪背后的科学原理。
9.B 代词指代题。第一段最后一句引出话题——跳台滑雪。再根据画线词所在句可知,它涉及使用空气动力学定律来对抗重力,增加升力,同时减少阻力。由此可猜测,It指的是“跳台滑雪”。
10.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知,滑雪者和空气微粒之间的相互作用产生跳台滑雪的升力。
11.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知,标准化的装备确保跳台滑雪比赛的公平进行。
12.D 主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其是第三段中的To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag.可知,本文主要关注的是跳台滑雪背后的科学原理。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了优质的体育课程能为学生带来的几点好处。
13.G 上文指出:世界卫生组织的一份报告得出结论,全世界大多数青少年的运动量都不够;很多学生都不参加任何课外活动。下文说明了高质量的体育课程能给学生带来的几点好处。G项以问句的形式对上文作出进一步补充说明,并引出下文,符合语境。G项中的quality PE与设空处后一句中的high-quality PE classes相呼应。
14.A 设空处为小标题,起概括全段主旨的作用。通读本段可知,体育课是培养健康习惯和了解自己身体的理想环境。日常体育教育鼓励学生积极参与体育活动,培养让其终身受益的能力和技能。A项很好地概括了本段主旨,适合作本段小标题。A项中的Encouraging与下文中的encourages构成原词复现,A项中的for life与下文中的throughout their lives相呼应。
15.E 设空处位于段首,一般为概括性较强的主旨句。结合本段小标题和下文可知,设空处的内容应与减少压力和焦虑有关,故E项符合语境。E项中的take the pressure off与Helping reduce stress and anxiety.相呼应。
16.D 上文主要说明了运动有助于提高学习成绩,并具体解释了几点因素,D项符合语境,对上文提及的几点因素作出总结。D项中的improved grades and test scores与Boosting academic learning.以及上文中的academic achievement相呼应。
17.C 上文指出体育课能够增进同学们之间的关系,C项符合语境,紧承上文,作出进一步说明。C项中的relationships与小标题中的relationships以及本段中两次出现的relationships构成原词复现。

[Subheading 1] History of the Olympic Games
The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BCE⑦.During the early Games, only Greek men were allowed to participate⑧.They competed⑨ in such events as boxing, running and the long jump.The ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece every four years for almost 12 centuries, until they eventually died out around the year 393.
More than 1,500 years later, however, the Games rose⑩ again.The modern Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens.[2]It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life .[3] His dream was that the Olympics would help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace.For over a century, people from diverse backgrounds have made joint efforts to help realize Coubertin’s dream.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics called on the whole world to join in the Olympic spirit and build a better future for humanity with the slogan “One World, One Dream”.In addition to hosting the Olympics for the first time, China also ranked first in the medal table.This success is truly remarkable if you consider that just 24 years before, at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Xu Haifeng won our country’s first-ever gold medal.Since then the upward trend for Chinese sport has been unstoppable .[9]At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men’s 110-metre hurdles , while at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the Chinese women’s volleyball team won a hard-fought victory in the final.Another historic moment for China came when Beijing successfully hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics after winning the election in 2015.

奥林匹克运动会
每过四年,成千上万名训练有素、天赋过人的运动员,本着友谊、团结和公平竞争的精神聚集在一起准备互相较量,希望能成为举世公认的顶尖选手。这就是奥运会——一场可以追溯到约 3000 年前的非凡的体育赛事。
[小标题1] 奥运会的历史
古代奥林匹克运动会始于公元前 776 年。早期的奥运会只允许希腊男性参赛。他们的竞赛项目包括拳击、赛跑和跳远。古代奥林匹克运动会每四年在希腊的奥林匹亚举办,持续了近 12 个世纪,直到公元 393 年前后才最终停办。
然而 1500 多年后,奥运会旧火重燃。1896 年,第一届现代奥运会在雅典举办。是一位叫皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦的法国人使奥运会重现生机。他的梦想是借助奥运会让不同种族、不同文化的人和平地生活在一起。一个多世纪以来,来自不同背景的人们共同努力,帮助实现顾拜旦的梦想。
[小标题2] 著名的奥运会运动员
在原先的奥运口号“更快、更高、更强”的激励下,许多著名的男女运动员致力于在体育运动方面追求卓越,突破人类成就的极限。拳击手卡修斯·克莱就是这样一名奥运会选手。他在 1960 年罗马奥运会上引起了公众的关注,当时他为美国赢得了轻重量级拳击金牌,在比赛过程中展现了过人的天赋与优秀的品性。后来,这位年轻人又在 1964 年成了世界重量级拳击冠军,之后将名字改成了我们耳熟能详的穆罕默德·阿里。1996 年,他重返亚特兰大奥林匹克运动会,在开幕式上点燃了奥运火炬。在 2016 年过世前,阿里已被公认为有史以来最伟大的拳击手之一。
另一位值得称赞的运动员是杰西卡·恩尼斯-希尔。她的故事为我们出色地示范了如何通过勤奋和专注取得优异的体育成绩。作为一名前英国田径运动员,2012 年,她在自己的祖国赢得了一块奥运金牌。但是她仿佛认为那还不够,2016年,在生下第一个孩子仅仅两年后,她又重返奥运赛场并斩获一块银牌。她在采访中透露,自己维持良好表现的秘诀在于从来不缺席训练。
[小标题3] 中国和奥运会/中国对奥运会的贡献
2008 年北京奥运会以“同一个世界,同一个梦想”为口号,号召全世界共享奥运精神,为人类共建美好未来。中国不仅是第一次举办奥运会,更是在奖牌榜上位列第一。这份成功着实令人瞩目,考虑到仅仅 24 年前,许海峰才在 1984 年洛杉矶奥运会上为我们国家摘得了史上第一块金牌。从那时起,中国体育的上升势头就不可阻挡了。2004 年雅典奥林匹克运动会上,刘翔成为亚洲赢得男子 110米跨栏金牌的第一人,而在 2016 年里约热内卢奥林匹克运动会上,中国女子排球队在决赛中艰苦作战取得了胜利。对于中国来说,又一个历史性时刻是北京在2015年赢得选举后成功举办了2022 年冬季奥运会。
奥林匹克运动会给全世界人民带来了喜悦和激动。正如顾拜旦所信奉的:“有了奥林匹克运动会,每一代人都能庆祝他们的到来、他们生活的喜悦、他们对未来的信念、他们的雄心,以及他们进取的决心。”

2.原句:One such Olympian was the boxer Cassius Clay.He came to public attention during the 1960 Rome Olympics, when he won the light heavyweight gold medal for the USA, demonstrating great talent and personality in the process.Afterwards, this young man proceeded to become the world heavyweight champion in 1964, and later changed his name to the one we all know — Muhammad Ali.He returned to the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony.
翻译:拳击手卡修斯·克莱就是这样一名奥运会选手。他在 1960 年罗马奥运会上引起了公众的关注,当时他为美国赢得了轻重量级拳击金牌,在比赛过程中展现了过人的天赋与优秀的品性。后来,这位年轻人又在 1964 年成了世界重量级拳击冠军,之后将名字改成了我们耳熟能详的穆罕默德·阿里。1996 年,他重返亚特兰大奥林匹克运动会,在开幕式上点燃了奥运火炬。
第四步

2.他在1960年罗马奥运会上引起了公众的关注,当时他为美国赢得了轻重量级拳击金牌,在比赛过程中展现了过人的天赋与优秀的品性。

第五步
1.I believe that the Olympic Games can help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace because sport focuses on a person’s athletic capabilities and not on the colour of their skin or cultural background.The Olympic Games, by celebrating sportsmanship worldwide,draw attention to the hard work that athletes put in and the devotion they have to their specific sport.Sports fans do not care about race or culture either,but instead,are impressed by the athletes’ physical and mental abilities and show their appreciation for every athlete’s effort.
2.I think Coubertin’s words mean that the Olympic Games would have a positive influence on the world well into the future.Coubertin believed that through the “joy of living”and “faith in the future”, the Games would make the future better so that people of all races and cultures could live in harmony.When Coubertin said “its ambition and its will to ascend”, he was referring to how the Games would motivate humans to strive for greater and greater ambitions with each generation, making humanity stronger over time.
