阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
With its motto of “faster, higher, stronger”, the Olympic Games have been the setting for some of our greatest
achievements in sport. In the following page, you’ll read about incredible feats of Olympic athleticism.
The flying Dutch-woman
Nicknamed the “Flying Housewife”, Blankers-Koen arrived at the 1948 Olympics as a30-year-old mother of
two, with some thinking her too old to be a champion and irresponsible for competing while she had children.
However, all her critics were silenced by her extraordinary history- making performance.
First was the 100m final, where Blankers-Koen became the first Dutch athlete to win an Olympic title in
athletics. Then she claimed victory at the80m hurdles and the Olympic 200m for women. To wrap up, Blankers-
Koen ran the final leg of the4x100m relay, carrying the Dutch team from third to first place on the final straight.
The Tornado
An American icon and Olympic sprint champion, Wilma Rudolph’s legacy lies in her efforts to overcome
physical disability throughout much of her childhood to become the fastest woman in the world in the 1960s. By
1
6, Rudolph qualified for the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, making her the youngest member of the US
team.
Four years later, in Rome, Rudolph represented her country in three events: the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m
relay and became the first American woman to win three gold medals in a single Games. She also became a role
model for Black and female athletes, giving a significant boost to women’s track in the US.
Fast as lightning
Winning eight Olympic gold medals, Jamaica’ s Usain Bolt became the only person in history to win the 100m
and 200m at three Games.
Let’s re-watch the 100m final from Beijing 2008. Bolt was already the fastest man on Earth, having run 9.72
in New York earlier that year. Might the pressure get to him and affect his performance? In a word: no. Nothing
could stop him from finishing in 9.69, a new world record. Bolt would go on to lower his own world records ---
running 9.58 for the 100m and 19.19 for the200m.

1. What can be learned from the passage?

In late October 1997, on a typical fall morning, Mike was attacked by a tiger shark near his home on the island
of Kauai while surfing with friends. The shark came right up under him and sank its teeth into his lower leg.
As Mike struggled to free himself, the shark bit harder, shaking him violently. Mike followed his instinct,
punching the shark in the face again and again until the shark released him. Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his
lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet （止血带）using his surfboard leash, which
doctors later said likely saved his life.
It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point Mike opened his eyes and realized he was in hospital.
For the next few weeks while resting in bed, Mike spent time with his family, researched prosthetics（义肢）and
considered the future.
Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable. He started riding
the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his disaster. All his friends tried to convince him to
avoid that site. But Mike was unshaken, because he was curious about the reason why he was attacked. He
remembered a fishy smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark?
His curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did
learn something that would change his life. “Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,”
said Mike, “I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the
fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.”
His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii
state to help pass a ban on shark-derived products and was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the
importance of shark conservation.

C
In fifth grade, Hailey Magee rushed home from school upset after seeing that she’ d received anA minus on
her report card. Growing up, she had learned that the way to receive recognition and love from family members and
teachers was to be a high achiever. So, to Magee, that A minus means a failure.
“
I was shattered,” she said. “At that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it
would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into an example of her inferiority is a textbook example of a growing trend in
recent years: perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism is a broad personality style characterized by a hypercritical
relationship with oneself. Setting high standards and aiming for excellence can be positive traits, but perfectionism
is dysfunctional, because it’s emphasized by a person’s sense of themselves as permanently flawed or defective.
Once an issue that affected a select few, perfectionism is now a growing cultural phenomenon, fueled by
modern parenting, social media and an increasingly competitive economy. Struggles with perfectionism have been
the subject of multiple TED talks, Oprah discussions and books.
“
We are so sucked into our screens, and our life is so perfectly revealed,” Netflix star Lana Condor said. “You
see other perfect lives and your life isn’t like that. And so if I go out, and people see that my life isn’t perfect, I’m
afraid they’ll judge me.”
“
Look around these days, and you can find perfectionism everywhere,” said Thomas Curran, a psychologist at
the University of Bath. “I see it in my own friends and colleagues and the students I teach.” In an age when social
media makes it possible to constantly compare your own life to others’, perfectionism has only become
strengthened. It’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly exposed to
seemingly perfect images of other people’s lives.
Eventually, Magee transformed her attitude. She learned that she had to relax a bit and allow herself to show
all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could also show herself up, she could be not perfect
and still be valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine.”
2
8. How did Magee feel on receiving her report card?
A. She was upset as it wasn’t recognized by her family.
B. She was regretful that she could have studied harder.
C. She felt in her mind that she would achieve her self-worth.
D. She was depressed as she fell short of her high expectations.

9. The underlined words “is dysfunctional” in the third paragraph most probably mean ________.
A. operates well
B. has negative effects
D. has positive effects
C. behaves poorly
3
0. What has contributed to perfectionism being a growing culture phenomenon?
A. parents’ usual expectations
C. pressure from the outside
B. social media such as TED talks
D. too much self- discipline

1. What is the author’s attitude towards Magee’s transformation?
A. Approving
C. Indifferent
B. Critical
D. Dismissive
D
I am always surprised by how often gardening, a pursuit all about communing with nature, can be so driven by
fear. One of the most common questions I get from concerned gardeners is how to remove the climbing plants like
ivy（常春藤）from walls. The thinking behind this is that climbers shatter brickwork and can cause profound
structural damage to buildings. But when you actually look at the science, very few of these fears are based on any
evidence.
In a 2024 study, a range of climbing plants were found to have a protective effect on model brick buildings
constructed for the experiment. The shade cast by the plant leaves cooled the surface of the buildings in the summer
by as much as 5.7℃, reducing the wide swings between day and night temperatures---a key driver of surface
structural damage.
Despite concerns that plants trap moisture （潮气）against brickwork, leading to damp issues, the same trial
found the case. Ivy didn’t significantly raise humidity levels---rather, it helped stabilize them. The living coating
also lowered summer temperatures inside the buildings by up to 7.2℃.
It is worth bearing in mind that these results were from brand new, model buildings. What about real-world,
well-used buildings, which may have already experienced centuries of environmental damage? Well, another study
from 2020 found that in five historic buildings across England, bare walls experienced average maximum
temperatures 36 percent higher and minimum temperatures 15 percent lower compared with those coated in
protective leaves.
Imagine if there was a new material that could cool cities and cut energy bills, all looking beautiful and costing
part of the price of alternatives. The truth is that we have had this miracle material all along, but rather than
appreciating it, we have spent huge amounts of time worrying about how to get rid of it.

2. Why do many gardeners want to remove climbing plants?
A. They fear the disorderly growth of climbing plants.
B. They neglect the benefit of climbing plants to the atmosphere.
C. They suppose climbing plants don’t match the layout of their gardens.
D. They think climbing plants may cause damage to the buildings.

3. Which of the following is right according the passage?
A. Wide swings in temperature damage structures.
B. Ivies help trap moisture against brickwork.
C. Climbing plants are of little benefit to real- world buildings.
D. Climbing plants are widely popular as they are cheap.
3
4. Why are historic buildings mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To support an idea.
B. To clarify a definition.
D. To introduce a topic.
C. To present convincing data.

5. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Climbing Plants: Beautiful Brickwork Decorations
B. Climbing Plants: Exceptional Building Protectors
C. Climbing Plants: Economical Construction Materials
D. Climbing Plants: Reliable Environment Guards
