A
“Facts” That Are False

The $100 bill is the biggest bill in circulation. Although the federal government stopped printing them in 1945, currency notes of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 are still legal tender. Most of them have been snatched up by private collectors. Between December 18, 1934, and January 9,1935, the government put out $100,000 notes. However, they were only for transactions between Federal Reserve banks and never went out to the general public.

The Sahara is the world’s largest desert. Technically, Antarctica is. The U.S. Geological Survey defines a desert as “dry land with a rainfall of usually less than ten inches per year that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals.” Antarctica averages only six inches of rain a year (mostly as snow) and is almost 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is only 3.3 million square miles.

The green paste served with your sushi is wasabi. Wasabi is expensive and difficult to grow. Since it’s in the same family, most restaurants and food companies use horseradish (with food coloring) instead. Real wasabi is more complex and sweeter than what you get in a typical Japanese restaurant.

_______________________________________ The ostriches would suffocate (窒息) if they did. If an enemy is approaching, a frightened ostrich will lay its head and neck flat against the ground as a camouflage (伪装) ploy. Some human onlookers have assumed that the birds’ light-colored heads were actually in the sand.
343、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．As other bigger bills are out of print, the $100 bill is still the biggest one.
B．Antarctica with very little rainfall is considered as the largest desert.
C．Horseradish can be substituted with wasabi for the similar taste and color.
D．An ostrich often uses its head as a weapon to fight against its enemy.
1、Which of the following is the best fit for the blank?
A．Ostriches can breathe in the sand.
B．Ostriches have very smart brains.
C．Ostriches bury their heads in the sand.
D．The ostrich’s head is the lightest in the world.

B
Winter sports tend to be more dangerous than summer sports — they take place mostly outside at the mercy of ice or snow, involving (牵涉) metal edges, extreme speeds and crashes. Skeleton (俯视冰梭), however, stands apart as one of the most difficult and least accessible of all the winter sports. Adam Edelman, Israel’s first Olympic skeleton athlete, would like to change that.
Edelman was the 10th athlete named to the 2018 Israeli Olympic Team. Qualifying for the Olympics in any sport is impressive. But it’s more impressive if you qualify for the Olympics after only four years in the sport — and without a coach.
Edelman was first introduced to skeleton watching the game on television in late 2013. Sports have always been a part of his life. He grew up playing football and was a goalkeeper on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology football team. Ready for a new challenge, he set his sights on the Olympics.
Without a coach, Edelman learned to drive by watching endless hours of YouTube videos and taking more runs than anybody else on the track. “When everybody else would take three runs per day, I would take six to eight.” he recalled.
Succeeding in skeleton takes a large amount of athletic ability and technical skill, but there’s one more element (因素) required, one that can’t be taught. “These tracks but built in the middle of nowhere, and it’s gray and cold. You haven’t seen your family in seven months and you really just want to give up. To continue, it takes tenacity.” Edelman said.
Edelman is already looking beyond Pyeongchang. The 2022 Olympics could be in his future, but whether he continues to compete or not, he promises to stay in Israeli sports as long as possible-as instructor or as a coach.
1、What might impress people most?
A．Edelman’s gift in winter sports.
B．The challenges Edelman has met.
C．Edelman entering for the Olympics.
D．Edelman’s successful story as a skeleton athlete.
2、Which word can be used to describe Edelman?
A．Modest. B．Generous.
C．Ambitious. D．Reliable.
3、What does the underlined word “tenacity” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Will power. B．Extra strength.
C．Good luck. D．Financial support.
4、What might be Edelman’s plan for the future?
A．Setting up a team of his own.
B．Passing on his skills and experience.
C．Calling on more people to take up sports.
D．Ending his sports life after the Olympic Games.
