题目内容

【题目】When I was watching a sports event yesterday, I met with an amazing sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination.

The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong. I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.

I heard the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awkward strokes, the crowd changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and yell things like, "Come on, you can do it!" He did. The crowd went wild.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to take part in the event. Even though he recorded the slowest time, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitorsa man that gave his all, knowing that he had no chance but to compete because of the spirit of the games.

A. was not professional

4B

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述的是作者在家看游泳赛事的比赛,但是这次不是为金牌获奖者喝彩,恰恰相反的是为敢于拼搏的奥运健儿鼓掌加油。

1A 细节理解。根据原文的his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.(他的臂膀在摇晃,试图在做一个自由泳式的动作)可以看出,这个运动员的动作并不标准,所以专业性不高。故选A项。

2C 推理判断。根据原文的the crowd changed.(人们开始改变了),改变什么了?是改变了原来的态度了,由一开始的嘲笑到为他加油呐喊。正是被他的体育精神所感染,大家为之动容。

3D 推理判断。根据原文的结尾because of the spirit of the games.(因为奥运会精神),所以从这里我们可以推断出人们是为运动员自豪的。

4B 主旨大意。整篇文章不是为那些金牌获得者,破纪录运动员摇旗呐喊。而恰恰是赞誉那些敢于拼搏,努力完成梦想的人们,是赞扬他们的精神。故选B
