When asked whether she held back for the final,Fu replied"No,I used my‘prehistorical power (洪荒之力)'"What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semi-final.Since then,the so-called"prehistorical power"has gone viral and become a new Internet meme.

分析 本文主要介绍了里约奥运会上的三则比较受公众关注的新闻.

解答 21.C.考查细节理解.根据第一则新闻中提到的"but what grabbed media attention and led to stories and photos around the globe were the purple and red circles on his back."可知,随着菲尔普斯获得里约奥运会金牌,他后背上因为拔火罐留下的印记吸引了媒体的关注.故选C. 
22.A.考查细节理解.通读第二则新闻内容可知,傅园慧成为公众注意的中心不仅是因为她获得了奖牌,而且因为她在赛后的媒体采访中的夸张的面部表情和她的"我已经使用了洪荒之力了"的幽默回答.故选A. 
23.C.考查推理判断.根据第三则新闻提到的"Britain's Jack Laugher and Chris Mears ended China's gold medal monopoly(垄断)over diving events at the Rio Olympics by winning the men's synchronized 3m springboard final on Wednesday,the country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in diving."可知,英国的跳水运动员赢得了男子双人3米跳板的金牌,这是有史以来英国在奥运会跳水项目上赢得的第一枚金牌.因此推断英国在里约奥运会之前从来没有赢得过跳水金牌.故选C.
