Question

【題目】

Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing, 23, introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal（獎牌）at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games.

At this year's PyeongChang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

On Feb. 22, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men's short-track（短道）500-meter race. He set a new world record with a time of 39. 584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal.

“I didn't give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start.” he told the media（媒體）after the match.

But China's short-track teams didn't do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women's 500 meters, 3,000-meter relay（接力）and men's 1,500 meters all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China's biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself.

Wu is now known as a highly talented（天賦高的）skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost "nothing" compared to gifted skaters, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But as the saying goes，"Winners never quit and quitters never win." Wu worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year-round. He even didn't return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years.

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段 “Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing, 23, introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal（獎牌）at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games.”可知，武大靖在索契冬奧會上獲得了一枚銀牌，讓滑冰界認(rèn)識了他。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段 “On Feb. 22, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men's short-track（短道）500-meter race.”可知，在2018年平昌冬奧會上，武大靖獲得了男子短道速滑500米的金牌。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第五段 “Chinese skaters in the women's 500 meters, 3,000-meter relay（接力）and men's 1,500 meters all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China's biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him.”可知，中國其他的滑冰選手在其他項目上都失利了，武大靖是中國最大的希望，這給了他很大的壓力。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第六段 “When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost "nothing" compared to gifted skaters, as his coaches said at the time.”可知，武大靖剛?cè)脒x國家隊的時候，與其他有天賦的選手相比，他幾乎什么都不是。故選D。

【5】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)語境 “When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost "nothing" compared to gifted skaters, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But as the saying goes，"Winners never quit and quitters never win." Wu worked as hard as he could.”可知，武大靖剛進(jìn)國家隊的時候，他并不突出，教練的話也讓他很沮喪，但是他還是堅持訓(xùn)練。由此可猜測quit意為“放棄，離開”，與drop意思接近。故選A。
