【题目】
Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At this year’s Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-meter race. He set a new world record with a
time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the reporter after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men’s 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the reporter after his match at the Olympics.

【解析】短文介绍了男子短道速滑选手武大靖的故事。四年前，武大靖在索契冬奥会上获得了银牌。在今年的平昌奥运会，他在男子短道速滑500米比赛中获得金牌。还以39.584秒创造了一项新的世界纪录。武大靖在进入国家队时并不被国家队教练看好，由于武大靖永不放弃的精神、刻苦地训练和坚强的意志才取得了他今天的成就。
【1】细节理解题。根据文中句子“On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-meter race.”可知。2018年2月22日，武大靖在男子短道速滑500米比赛中获得金牌。故答案为A。
【2】词义猜测题。A. Ordinary.平庸的；B. Common.普通的；C. Perfect. 完美的；D. Difficult.困难的。根据文中句子BBC said Wu’s win was“flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.因为他比其他所有滑冰者都快得多，因此英国广播公司评价说，武大靖的胜利是“完美无瑕”的，答案为C。
【3】判断正误题。根据“Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games.”可知，四年前，中国滑冰运动员武大靖在索契冬奥会上获得了银牌。A错误；根据“He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds.”可知，武大靖以39.584秒的时间创造了一项新的世界纪录。B答案正确；根据When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost“nothing”compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time.可知，武大靖在进入国家队时并不被国家队教练看好，C答案错误；根据“Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men’s 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold.”可知，中国选手在女子500米、3000米接力和男子1500米的比赛中都未能夺回金牌。D答案错误。
【4】细节理解题。根据But Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,”可知，正是由于武大靖不懈地努力、刻苦地训练和坚强的意志，终于在平昌奥运会上男子短道速滑500米比赛中获得金牌，并打破了世界纪录，答案为D。
【5】主旨大意题。短文的最后一段最能反映文章的主旨。2010年武大靖刚进国家队时，并不被国家队教练看好，与周洋和范可欣的滑冰天赋相比，被视为“几乎什么都没有”。后来由于武大靖永不放弃的精神、刻苦地训练和坚强的意志终于取得了他今天的成就，成为短道速滑的英雄。故最好的标题为A。
