she won the gold medal in the womens figure skating(花样滑冰)on thursday.the 19-year-old was the overwhelming(压倒性的)favourite to finish top of the podium(颁奖台)but said the pressure going into the event was large.“i feel now as if a huge burden has been lifted,”the games highest-earning female athleteshe makes an estimated$8 million a yearsaid after her near-perfect program where she nailed all of her 11 jumps.“i will enjoy this moment and think about things later.i was just thrilled on the podium and i feel so relieved.i had been running toward this dream of the olympics and was so happy to be here,”she said.“since i have achieved the most important goal in my life,i am going to enjoy this moment for a while and then think about what i am going to do,”a smiling yuna said.japanese rival mao asada took silver while joannie rochette of canada grabbed the bronze medal four days after her mother died.“i still cannot believe i did what i wanted to do at the olympics.i have been dreaming about this moment and i cannot believe it is not a dream any more,”said yuna.the republic of korea was counting on her to grab their first gold medal in figure skating and the first winter olympics gold medal outside short track and speed skating.“i was just happy to have skated a clean program.it was the first time i skated two clean programs.during the program when i finished all elements i thought this is going to be yeah.this is it.”21.kim yuna felt relaxed because.a.the competition was overb.her dream finally came truec.she won a large amount of moneyd.she became well-known overnight答案:b解析:推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段中的“i will enjoy this moment and think about things later.i was just thrilled on the podium and i feel so relieved.”可知在赢得金牌后她感到非常放松因为她实现了自己的梦想。22.according to the passage,kim yuna.a.had a strong sense of team spirit in the gamesb.won the first gold medal for her country in the winter olympicsc.had expected she would surely win the gold medald.joined in the competition with great pressure from her country答案:d 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“i feel now as if a huge burden has been lifted”和倒数第二段中的“the republic of korea was counting on her to grab their first gold medal in figure skating”可知她是带着压力参赛的。23.the underlined word “rival” in paragraph 6 most probably means“”.a.competitor b.coach c.judge d.hostess答案:a解析:词义猜测题。本段讲述了该项目银牌和铜牌的获得者,可知rival为“竞争对手”的意思。24.it is known

touch with nature.however,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.some sports are resource-hungry.golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.this causes major environmental effects.for example,in the dry regions of portugal and spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.there are many environment-friendly sports.power walking is one of them that you could take up today.you dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse.simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.if you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.but the final goal should be“green gyms”.they are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.there is no special requirement for you to start your membership.and best of all,its free.25.the author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following except that.a.golf wastes large areas of countrysideb.golf runs out of much waterc.golf is bad for peoples healthd.keeping golf courses in good condition needs too much energy答案:c解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition.”可知高尔夫球之所以是消耗资源的一项运动,是因为它占地多、用水多、维护起来耗费能源多,故答案选c项。26.according to the passage,which of the following is an environment-friendly sport?a.hiking in the hills.b.swimming in the pool.c.playing basketball in the gym.d.motor racing in the desert.答案:a解析:推理判断题。从第三段中的“there are many environment-friendly sports.power walking is one of them that you could take up today.”可知力量型步行或者疾走锻炼是既环保又健身的运动,所以a项正确。27.the reason why the author uses power walking as an example mainly is that.a.it improves our health b.it is an outdoor sportc.it is recommended by experts d.it uses fewer resources答案:d解析:细节理解题。文章第三段首先提出there are many environment-friendly sports.然后介绍power walking:you dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse.由此可知作者用power walking为例的原因是疾走锻炼是不消耗能源又健身的运动,答案选d项。28.the passage is developed mainly by.a.examples and explanation b.comparison and persuasionc.facts and descriptions d.figures and conclusion答案:b解析:推理判断题。文章开头提出人们选择的运动会对环境产生影响,然后以高尔夫为例介绍了消耗资源的运动方式,又以疾走锻炼为例讲述了环保型的运动方式,最后又提出whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.由此判断文章的行文发展采用了对比和劝说的写作方法,答案选b项。care healthy people happier than seriously ill ones?not necessarily.in a study described in the journal of experimental psychology,a group of people with end-stage kidney(肾)failure were provided with electronic devices that required them to record their moods at various times throughout the day.for comparison,a group of healthy volunteers used the same devices.when researchers had studied the results,they found that the levels of happiness were about the same for the two groups.the researchers,led by dr jason riis of princeton when he was a graduate student at the university of michigan,also found that the healthy people greatly overestimated(估计过高)how unhappy the sick ones would be.and the sick people overestimated how happy the healthy ones would be.for the study,49 kidney disease patients who were undergoing dialysis(透析)sections three times a week were given personal digital assistants,as 49 healthy volunteers were matched to the patients by age,race,education and sex.when the devices beeped,the subjects were asked to rate their mood on a 5-point scale,with 2 defined as“very pleasant”and minus 2 defined as“very unpleasant”.on average,the kidney patients rated their mood as 0.70,while the healthy subjects rated it as 0.83.the participants were also asked to describe other emotions they might be feeling,including joy and anxiety,and to describe their levels of physical comfort.and sometimes they were asked,“how do you feel about your life as a whole?”a better understanding of how well people are able to adapt to poor health,the researchers said,could help doctors and patients make wiser choices about their medical care.earlier studies have also found that seriously ill patients described themselves as being happy.but these patients were not given a chance to answer questions about their mood privately and repeatedly over a period of time,dr riis said,and so it was unclear how accurate their responses were.29.what can be learnt from the study?a.the electronic devices used are digital assistants for dialysis.b.the levels of happiness are little affected by health condition.c.all the subjects are of the same age,race,sex and education.d.both patients and healthy people overestimate their own happiness.答案:b解析:推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,肾病患者和健康人的幸福指数几乎一样,由此推断出健康状况几乎对幸福指数没有影响。30.in the research,the subjects ratings of their mood levels wereon average.a.vagueb.negativec.positived.neutral 答案:c解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第三句可知病人与健康人的幸福指数都是正数,是中等偏上的,所以选positive。31.the research was done in order to.a.help patients adapt to poor healthb.learn patients average level of happinessc.find the distinction between the healthy and unhealthy peopled.define the extent to which health condition affects happiness答案:d解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,调查研究表明病人的幸福指数和健康人的几乎一样,因此这项研究旨在确定健康状况对幸福的影响。d(2014陕西,d)one afternoon last week,i saw three tearful children from my sons school being comforted by teachers.that morning,my 11-year-old had stomach pains,retching(干呕) into a bowl.talking to other mothers later,i heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.what caused so much pain?sports day.sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school,but not at a village primary school.for the children who can fly like the wind,sports day causes no problem.for those who are overweight or just not good at sport,it is a nightmare(噩梦).even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents,it can prove a disaster.why do we put our children through this annual suffering?some may say competition is character building;or its taking part,not winning,thats important;or that it is a tradition of school life.i just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.team games at the end of sports day produced some close races,wild enthusiasm,lots of shoutingand were fun to watch.more importantly,the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyones eyes.some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.i wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less-competitive event.perhaps an afternoon of team games,with a few races for those who want them,would be less stressful for the children and a lot mo
