lympics.”可知空处是指现代奥运会分为了夏季和冬季奥运会，故空处应填separate“使分开”，动词；分析句子结构可知此处是被动语态，其结构为be+done。故填(s)eparated。8．句意：在古代奥运会之前和之后的七天，战争会停止，以便运动员能够安全前往奥运会。根据首字母提示及“sothatathletescouldtravelsafelytothegames.”可知，此处指战争停止，故空处应填war“战争”，可数名词；其前没有任何冠词或限定词修饰，故用名词复数形式。故填(W)ars。9．句意：同样，许多人认为现代奥运会创造了友善，因为各国通过体育竞技而不是战斗来展示实力。根据首字母提示及前一句“sothatathletescouldtravelsafelytothegames.”和“asnationsexhibitstrengththrough...”可知，此处讲的是古代和现代奥运会的类似之处，故空处应填similar“相似的”，形容词。故填(s)imilar。10．句意：有些人是盲人。根据首字母提示及前一句“Someareinwheelchairs.”可知此处指盲人，故空处应填blind“失明的”，形容词。故填(b)lind。六、完形填空。阅读下面短文，掌握大意，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。For23-year-oldsurferKaiMcKenzie,theoceanisn’tjustahobby—it’shis1job.OnJuly23,2024,abigwhitesharkhithimandtookhisrightleg.Hespentmorethanonemonthinthehospital.Hecouldn’t2thisatfirst.Hewasverysadaftertheaccident.Butafterthesadness,hemadea(an)3togobacktothewaves(海浪)beforetheendof2024.Peoplethinkhewassobrave(勇敢的).Howdidhemakeit?Hetookoff(脱下)and4hisrightartificiallimb(假肢)andthenbegantoridethewavesonhisleftleg.Thoughhefeltalittle5,hefocusedonhisgoal.Hepractisedmuchharderthanbefore.6thehelpofhisfamilyandfriends,McKenziestayed7andrelaxedinthewater.Fourmonthsafterthe8,McKenziewasabletosurfonhisonegoodleg.Later,hesharedhisfeelingonline—“Thatis9oneofthecraziest(疯狂的)feelingsI’vehad!Isatoutthere10first,thengoodpeoplesurfedwithme.”MarkStewart,asurfingworldchampioninParalympics(残奥会)praisedMcKenzie,“Facingthedifficultiesgiveshimenergy.Itwasvery11ofMcKenzietogobacktosurfing.McKenzieisn’tathisbestyet,buthe’syoung—he’lldobetter.”Stewartalso12oneofhislegsat15.Heknewthatitwas13tosurfwithonelegatfirst.“14McKenziestillhasalotofdifficulties,Ibelievehisfuturecangetbetterandmorehopefulfromnowon,”hesaid.HeevenencouragedMcKenzietotakepartintheParalympicstoo.“Hisreturnishisfirstandbiggeststepthatcanhelphim15hissurfingdream.”Nevergiveupandsticktohisdream!Hedidit!Hewillbebetterandbetter.1．A．dream

D．share【答案】1．A2．B3．D4．C5．C6．A7．B8．B9．D10．A11．D12．B13．C14．D15．A【导语】本文讲述了一位23岁的冲浪者KaiMcKenzie在鲨鱼袭击中失去右腿后，下定决心重返冲浪，通过努力和家人朋友的帮助，最终成功用一条腿冲浪的故事，体现了他的勇气和坚持梦想的精神。1．句意：对于23岁的冲浪者KaiMcKenzie，海洋不仅仅是爱好——它是他的梦想工作。dream梦想；plan计划；idea主意；opinion观点。根据语境，冲浪对他来说不仅是爱好，更是他追求的职业或理想，故“dreamjob”最符合逻辑。故选A。2．句意：他最初无法相信这个事实。remember记住；believe相信；think思考；hope希望。此处指他被鲨鱼袭击失去右腿的现实难以接受，“believe”表示相信或接受，符合上下文。故选B。3．句意：但悲伤之后，他下定决心重返冲浪。appearance外貌；personality性格；communication交流；resolution决心。“makearesolution”为固定搭配，意为“下定决心”，与后文重返冲浪的目标一致。故选D。4．句意：他脱下并收拾好他的右假肢，然后他开始用左腿乘风破浪。metup碰面；cutup切碎；packedup打包、收拾；cleanedup清理干净。根据上下文，他脱下假肢后需要处理它。故选C。5．句意：虽然他感到一点紧张，但他专注于目标。surprised惊讶的；proud自豪的；nervous紧张的；unhappy不开心的。用一条腿冲浪初期容易感到紧张或不安，“nervous”符合逻辑。故选C。6．句意：在家人和朋友的帮助下，McKenzie在水中保持冷静和放松。With用；In在……里；On在……上；For为了。“Withthehelpof”为固定短语，意为“在……的帮助下”，故选A。7．句意：在家人和朋友的帮助下，McKenzie在水中保持冷静和放松。healthy健康的；calm镇静的；strong强壮的；direct直接的。此处与“relaxed”并列，且冲浪时需要镇定，“calm”镇静最合适。其他选项均不符。故选B。8．句意：事故后四个月，McKenzie能用一条好腿冲浪了。activity活动；accident事故；match比赛；game游戏。此处指前文鲨鱼袭击的事件，“accident”事故，符合句意。故选B。9．句意：那可能是我有过的最疯狂的感觉之一！usually通常；suddenly突然；hardly几乎不；probably可能。此处分享感受时表示不确定性，“probably”可能，使语气更自然。故选D。10．句意：我先独自坐在那里，然后好人和我一起冲浪。alone单独地；aloud大声地；ahead向前；anyway不管怎样。根据后文“goodpeoplesurfedwithme”，之前是独自一人，“alone”独自，符合语境。故选A。11．句意：McKenzie重返冲浪是非常勇敢的。forgetful健忘的；lazy懒惰的；energetic精力充沛的；brave勇敢的。前文提到人们认为他勇敢，这里Stewart也赞扬他的勇气，故选D。12．句意：Stewart也在15岁时失去一条腿。kept保持；lost失去；noticed注意到；offered提供。根据上下文，Stewart是残奥会冠军，同样失去了腿。故选B。13．句意：他知道一开始用一条腿冲浪是困难的。necessary必要；possible可能；difficult困难；important重要。用一条腿冲浪具有挑战性，“difficult”符合常识和语境。故选C。14．句意：尽管McKenzie还有很多困难，我相信今后他的未来会更好。Until直到；Because因为；Unless除非；Although尽管。前后句为让步关系，需用Although引导让步状语从句。故选D。15．句意：他的回归，是助力他实现冲浪梦想的第一步，也是最关键的一步。realize实现；stop停止；change改变；share分享。“realizeone'sdream”实现梦想，为固定搭配。故选A。七、阅读理解。根据短文内容，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。InParalympicSports(残奥会),manyblindornearlyblindathletesrace(比赛)withthehelpofaguide.Thesepairsworkverycloselytogether.JerusaGeberisarunnerwholosthersightasateenager.WhensheraceswithherguideGarcia,herunstoherleft.Theyeachholdoneendofashortrope.Ifthey’vestartedwell,hematchesherspeedbitbybit,butwiththeoppositefoot.TheyworksowelltogetherthatJerusanowholdsthewomen’sworldrecordinthe100-meterraceforblindornearlyblindathletes.Since2012,guidesintheParalympicscanwinmedalstoo.Buttheteamworkisaboutmorethanjustwinning.Garciaisarunnerhimself.“Ilikebeingaguide.”hesaid.“Ifeelmorepressure(压力)attheParalympics.Ihavetogive200%ofmyselftoavoidmistakesandhelpmyteammatedoherbest.”Incycling,HannahChadwickandherguide,SkylerEspinoza,alsoworkclosely.Whentheyridetogether,EspinozaalwaysholdsChadwick’shandbeforestarting.“It’sareminder(提示)thatwe’reinthistogether.”Espinozasaid.ChadwickandEspinozafollowthesametrainingplan.Sometimes,whenthetraininggetshard,Chadwickthinksofherteammate.“I’mnottrainingjustformyself.”shesaid.“I’mtrainingforbothofus!”PeoplesometimessayEspinozaismakingasacrifice(牺牲)foradisabledathlete.Butshedoesn’tseeitthatway.Espinozabelievesthatifshehadn’tbeenaParalympicguide,shewouldneverhaveshonesomuchinsports.“I’mluckythatHannahchosemetodothis,justasIchosetodoitwithher.”shesaid.1．HowdoesGarciahelptheblindathleteJerusaGeber?A．Hewalksinfrontofhertoshowthepath.B．Herunsbehindherandshoutsdirections.C．Heridesabicyclenexttohertoguidetheway.D．Heholdsarope,runningbesideherwiththeoppositefoot.2．WhichofthefollowingwordsbestdescribestheguidesintheParalympics?A．Crazy.
