Question

20．Shawn Johnson is one of the strongest girls I know to compete in gymnastics．She was just 15 years old when she competed in the Olympic trails （选拔赛）．She went to the Olympics in 2008 and competed in all four events with famous American gymnast Nastia Luikin．She was the balance beam （平衡木） gold medalist and team，all-round and floor exercise silver medalist at the Games．After the Olympics she was featuring on the hit reality show"Dancing with the Stars"in 2009-2010．It was not until she broke her knee in a January 2010 ski （滑雪） accident did she realize that she still wanted to compete．She made a comeback，aiming at the 2012 0lympic Games．But because of the continuing problems with her knee，she decided to finish her season and then retire from gymnastics．She felt she was worn out and wasn't as good as she was the first time．
My favorite things about her are her confidence and how hard she works．She always has a smile on her face even when times are difficult．She also took time away from gymnastics to help kids around the world get cleaner water．She has influenced my life because I wouldn't have known to actually try hard to get great dreams realized and I hope one day I become somewhat close to how she is in every possible way．She has also taught me not to be afraid of failing at the first time and to learn from my mistakes instead of considering them as a downfall （堕落的原因）．I think more people should look at her as a role model．
One cool thing is that I got to see her compete at the Olympic trials in Maryland on my birthday．

Answer 1

分析 本文介绍了体操运动员Shawn Johnson及其对作者的影响．

解答 16．B．细节理解题．根据第一段"It was not until she broke her knee in a January 2010 ski accident…She felt she wa s worn out and wasn't as good as she was the first time．"可知，直到在2010年的一次滑雪事故中伤了膝盖，她才意识到自己仍然想要比赛．于是她再次回归，目标是2012年奥运会．但是因为她的膝盖持续出现问题，她决定完成赛季之后退役．她觉得疲惫不堪，状态不像初次参加比赛时那么好了．由此可知，Shawn Johnson退役是因为她的健康状况不佳．
17．B．细节理解题．根据第二段第一句可知，"我"最喜欢她的自信和努力，由此可知，Shawn Johnson是自信和努力的；根据第二句可知，她即使在困难时期也永远面带微笑，由此可知，她是乐观的；根据三句可知，她在练习体操时还抽时间去帮助世界各地的孩子获得更洁净的水，由此可知，她是心地善良的．独立的特点在文中没有体现．
18．D．细节理解题．根据第二段"She has also taught me not to be afraid of failing at the first time and to learn from my mistakes instead of considering them as a downfall．"可知，她还教会了"我"不要害怕第一次的失败，要从错误中吸取教训而不是把它们当作堕落的借口．由此可知，作者从Shawn Johnson身上学到尽管人生中可能会有失败，但要勇敢地去尝试．
