Question

【題目】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-metre 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 media 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 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres 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 comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes, “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. 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 media after his match at the Olympics.

【解析】本文是一篇人物故事類短文。主要介紹了中國男子短道速滑運動員武大靖。2018年2月22日，在昌平冬奧會短道速滑男子500米比賽中他以39秒584的成績打破世界紀(jì)錄強勢奪冠，成為第一個獲得奧運短道金牌的中國人。賽后他告訴媒體：“我沒有給他們一個機會，我從一開始就保持了速度”。武大靖2010年加入中國隊，他盡可能的努力工作，一年到頭都在練習(xí)滑冰，他甚至10年沒有回到家鄉(xiāng)度假了。在接受媒體采訪時他說：“我相信我自己”。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.因為他比其他所有的滑冰選手都快，可知此處是說：BBC稱武大靖的勝利是“完美的”，結(jié)合選項，A. Ordinary普通的；B. Valuable有價值的；C. Perfect完美的；D. Difficult困難的；可知C選項與其意思相近，故答案選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)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，武大靖在索契冬季奧運會上獲得銀牌，而不是金牌，所以A選項錯誤。根據(jù)He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds.可知，武大靖以39秒584的成績打破世界紀(jì)錄，創(chuàng)造了歷史，所以B選項正確。根據(jù)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，當(dāng)2010年武大靖加入國家隊時，被認(rèn)為與其他滑冰選手相比相差太多，而不是被教練給予厚望，所以C選項錯誤。根據(jù)Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold.可知，在女子500米、3000米接力和男子1500米的比賽中，中國選手都未能獲得金牌，所以D選項錯誤。本題是問那句話是正確的，故答案選B。

【3】段意猜測題。通過對最后一段的理解，以及武大靖所說的話：“Winners never quit and quitters never win”. “I believe in myself,”“成功者永不放棄，放棄者永不勝利”“我相信我自己”，可知正是這種努力、自信和堅強的意志，使武大靖成為了冠軍，故答案選D。

【4】標(biāo)題歸納題。通過對整篇文章的理解可知，本文主要講述了中國男子短道速滑運動員武大靖不平凡的成功歷程，結(jié)合選項，可知A選項符合題意，故答案選A。
