A Leap(跳跃)to Honor

Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

To perfect her skills, Lola   36   for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.

That’s especially impressive,          37    she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t _38   how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom   39  that even though she couldn’t see         40   , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the    41    right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

Though learning gymnastics has been more    42   for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her _43  stop her from doing anything that she wants to.

She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest          44_ is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to          45_ your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most   46  for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall      47  the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.

Lola doesn’t want to be          48    differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision _49 _. She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her _50          attitude.

Lola never thinks about   51__. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her   52         is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids    53  she grew up.

Lola is   54  of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her   55        for others is “just believe yourself”.

文章大意:文章讲述的是主人公Lola虽然天生存在视力方面的问题,但是仍然坚持体操训练,以积极的态度和顽强的毅力,取得了大家的尊重和体操方面的成功,她的事迹也在向大家传达一个信息,那就是相信自己,决不放弃!

1.根据上一句中的 a 13-year-old gymnast可知,Lola是一个体操运动员,因此,To perfect her skills为了练习她的体操技巧,她每天训练(train)四个小时。run跑步  teach 教书dance跳舞与其体操运动员的身份不符

2.根据she is legally blind可知,这是她取得的成绩给人留下深刻印象的原因,因此选择A,意为因为。句意为,她在16个女孩中取得了第七名的成绩。这给人们留下了深刻的印象,因为她在法定上讲是盲人。Unless除非, after在……之后,though 尽管

3.tell告诉,辨别,断定 guess猜测 assume假定 predict预测根据前一句She often sees double可知,她看到的是双重影像,因此无法辨别出物体离她有多远。

4.suspect怀疑  remember 记得 imagine想象 notice注意到 句意为,在她小的时候,她的妈妈注意到她尽管看不清东西,但是她不害怕。

5.根据上文的“born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double”可知,她是能看到东西的,只不过看到的是双重影像,看不清楚,因此选择B。 Deeply 在深处,深深地,ahead在前面 closely接近地,靠近地

6.根据上文的“So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three”可知,她的妈妈在她三岁的时候,给她报名参加体操训练,因此,此处指的是她立刻喜欢上了这项运动。Task任务 event事件或者比赛项目(此处文中仅指训练,未谈及比赛),show表演秀

7.根据该句的though(尽管),和后文的she has never quit可知,此处句意为,尽管学习体操对她来说比其他比赛更加困难,但是她从没有放弃过。Boing 无聊 enjoyable令人愉快的 unsatisfactory令人不满意的,均不符合题意

8.根据上文的“she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly”可知,此处指的是她视力差的这种不利状况(情况)。Talent才能 quality 品质 nature自然本性 condition (健康)状况

11.根据上文的“To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave”要想成为一个顶尖的体操运动员,运动员必须要勇敢,可知,要求体操运动员勇敢,需要勇气,就说明这项运动会让人害怕,即fearful 令人害怕的  harmful有害的 unfair不公平的 inconvenient 不方便的

12.fall off 意为跌落,此处意为,在州比赛中,Lola没有从平衡木上跌落下来。

13.根据下文的“ At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision ______. She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know”可知,她在比赛的时候没有告诉裁判关于她视力方面的问题,因为她认为裁判不需要知道,因为她不想让裁判做出有别于其他选手的对待。greet致意 treat 对待 serve服务 pay付钱

14.句意参考上题。Vision problems意为视力上的问题 pain指的是痛苦,疼痛 stress压力 injuries指的是受伤

15.根据上文的“She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know.”Lola没有告诉裁判关于她眼睛的问题,因为她认为裁判不需要知道,她想和其他人一样比赛。这说明她没有因为眼睛视力的问题而沮丧,相反她保持这积极的态度,认为自己和其他人一样好。因此,她的母亲对她的这种积极、乐观的态度感到很惊讶。

Friendly 友好的 flexible 灵活的 caution 小心,谨慎

16.根据上文她积极、乐观的态度,和下文的“Her___is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach”她的目标是要达到九级,她说她要成为一名体操教练,因此,她从没想过要放弃(quit). defend保卫 win赢 bargain讨价还价

A Leap(跳跃)to Honor

Leaping on a narrow balance beam (平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

To perfect her skills, Lola   41   for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.

That’s especially impressive,   42   she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t   43   how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom   44   that even though she couldn’t see   45  , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the   46   right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

Though learning gymnastics has been more   47  for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her   48   stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
 She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest   49   is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to   50   your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most   51   for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall   52   the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.

Lola doesn’t want to be   53   differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision   54  . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her   55   attitude.

Lola never thinks about   56  . She is presently at Level 7 while the highest is Level 10 in gymnastics. Her   57   is to reach Level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids   58   she grew up.

Lola is   59   of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her   60   for others is “just believe yourself”.
