Whenever you want to give up your dream, think of Chris Nikic. On November 7, 2020, 21-year-old Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to try and complete an Ironman. Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full 26.2-mile marathon — in under 17 hours!
The event, which took place in Florida, began early in the morning with a two-lap swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Chris, who was tied to his coach for safety, completed the course well within the time limit.
The 112-mile bike ride, which Chris rode alone, was full of uncertainties. Not used to drinking water while riding, he had to make multiple stops. To make matters worse, the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on during a break. He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill. Despite these setbacks, Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5:30 pm cut-off time.
The competition’s final challenge — a two lap 26.2-mile run along the waterfront — started smoothly. However, Chris was tired out by the tenth mile. But with encouragement from his coach and cheering bystanders, the youngster somehow managed to cross the finish line in 16 hours, 46 minutes, and 9 seconds — almost 15 minutes under the 17-hour time limit.
Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Born with two holes in his heart, he underwent surgery at just five months old. He was too weak to walk independently until he was four. Due to his Down Syndrome, every expert his parents spoke to focused on the limitations rather than the possibilities.
To Chris, this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory. It’s about being an example to other kids and families that face similar barriers.
4. What does the underlined part “an Ironman” in paragraph 1 refer to
A A person. B. An organization. C. A competition. D. An artwork.
5. Which of the following best describes Chris’s bike ride experience
A. Struggling. B. Romantic. C. Pleasant. D. Smooth.
6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Make more comparison. B. Add background information.
C. Draw a conclusion. D. Introduce a new topic.
7. What can we learn from Chris’s story
A. Not everyone is perfect. B. Failure teaches success.
C. Life is full of choices. D. Nothing is impossible.
C
Reading often serves as a bridge, connecting people through shared stories and ideas. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says. “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
8. Why are book groups mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To introduce BookCrossing. B. To show popularity of reading.
C. To stress the meaning of reading. D. To encourage more reading clubs.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. A public place. B. An adventure.
C. The book. D. The identification number.
10. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it
A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Pass it on to another reader.
C. Keep it safe in his bookcase. D. Mail it back to its owner.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour. B. Electronic Books: A new Trend.
C. A Platform Ties People with Books. D. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back.
D
More than 56% of the world’s oceans have changed color to an extent that cannot be explained by natural variability, said a team of researchers from the UK and the US. tropical oceans close to the equator (赤道) in particular have become greener in the past two decades, reflecting changes in their ecosystems, according to the study published in the journal Nature.
The color of the ocean comes from the materials found in its upper layers. For instance, a deep blue sea in the Pacific Ocean might have very little life in it, but a green color means there are ecosystems, based on phytoplankton (浮游植物), plant-like microbes which contain chlorophyll (叶绿素) and form the basis of a food web which supports larger organisms such as krill, fish, seabirds and marine mammals.
It’s not clear exactly how these ecosystems are changing, said Stephanie, senior research scientist in MIT. “Ocean ecosystems are finely balanced and any change in the phytoplankton might decimate the food chain, causing an imbalance in the natural organization of ecosystems. Such imbalance will only get worse over time if our oceans keep heating. It will also affect the ocean’s ability to act as a store of carbon, as different plankton absorb different amounts of carbon,” she added.
While the researchers are still working to unpick exactly what the changes mean, what is clear, they believe, is that the changes are being driven by human-caused climate change. The researchers monitored changes in ocean color from space by tracking how much green or blue light is reflected from the surface of the sea. They analyzed color variation data from 2002 to 2022 and then used climate change models to simulate (激发) what would happen to the oceans both with additional planet-heating pollution and without. Not surprisingly, the color changes matched almost exactly what scientists predicted would happen if greenhouse gases were added to the atmosphere-that around 50% of our oceans would change color.
12. How does the author develop Paragraph 2
A. By making comparison. B. By presenting research findings.
C. By giving examples. D. By displaying more opinions.
13. What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph
A. Damage. B. Construct. C. Acquire. D. Display.
14. What is the root of the ocean color change
A. The materials found in the ocean surface. B. The imbalance in ocean ecosystem.
C. The changeable climate. D. The destructive human activities
15. What might be the best title of the text
A. Climate changes bring greener oceans B. Ecosystem works differently in the ocean
C Scientists are further exploring the sea D. secrets about the ocean are being unlocked
