【由山东省2022高考仿真冲刺卷（6）改编】
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
While watching the Olympics the other night，I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal，or a world record broken，but a show of courage．
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another，two of them false started，so they were disqualified．That left only one to compete．It would have been difficult enough，not having anyone to race against，even though the time on the clock is important．
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I’m not an expert swimmer，but I can tell a good dive from a poor one，and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced，it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．But in those few awful strokes，the crowd had changed．
No longer were they laughing，but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on，you can do it!” and he did．
A clear minute past the average swimmer，this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold，and he should have．Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history，this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．
Just a short year ago，he had never even swum，let alone race．His country had been invited to Sydney．
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold，or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors，it is nice to watch an underdog．
1．From the passage we can learn that the young man ．
A．made his turn to start back pitifully
B．was skillful in freestyle in the game
C．swam faster than the average swimmer
D．was not capable enough to win the medal
2．The crowd changed their attitudes because ．
A．they felt sorry for the young man
B．they were moved by the young man’s courage
C．they wanted to show their sympathy
D．they meant to please the young man
3．According to the passage，“it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means ．
A．it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself
B．it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills
C．it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors
D．it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals
4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The event started with three men，two of whom were disqualified later．
B．The crowd started to laugh at the athlete’s arms waving in an attempt at freestyle．
C．The athlete，as well as the author，is an expert swimmer．
D．The swimming event is a show of courage rather than a fierce competition．
5．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Compete for Gold! B．Try again!
C．Break a Record! D．Go for it!
【参考答案】1---5、D B A C D

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试放射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.
The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the early signs of earthquakes.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.
The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper, it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.
“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery," said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjonson. “We want to make science more relevant (相关的), interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space," Bjonson added.
The Win-Cube program is mainly aimed at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.
1. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is　　　.　
A. named after Manitoba and its shape
B. intended for international communication
C. designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and size
D. challenged by university students around the world
2. According to Mr. Bjonson,　　　.　
A. those Manitoba high school students are worth praising
B. the study of space can be practically made in classrooms
C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space
D. scientific research is too far away from high school students
3. The primary purpose of the project is to　　　.　
A. find the early signs of earthquakes
B. relate studies to practical experience
C. help high school students study real-world engineering
D. inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students
4. The best title for this passage may be　　　.
