Question

Ning Zetao has become China’s new swimming star due to his amazing performance at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon(仁川), South Korea.

With already two gold medals in hand, the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record. This result has been recognized by FINA as the world’s third best time this year, fast enough to have won a gold medal in last year’s Barcelona World Championships.

“It is my first international event,” said Ning, who later won a fourth gold medal in Incheon. “I am happy that my results are pretty close to my personal best.”

Born in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou，Ning entered the local team at the age of 11 and joined the navy team in 2007．He first caught people’s attention in 2009 when he finished eighth in the 200m individual medley at the National Games.

Nevertheless, Ning suffered from bone infection in both knees for a long time, which made him unable to train hard on his kicks.

He also had an indigestion problem and had to eat “soft” food which is easy to digest. His poor stomach even made it impossible for him to complete week-long full time training.

But the young swimmer never gives up. His idol is the great Russian swimmer Alexander Popov, who continued to win Olympic gold medals after he was stabbed on a street. Ning said, “He was a real fighter and I need to learn from him.”

Taken better care of by coaches and doctors, Ning can now train as normally as others. And that is why he can get today’s achievements.

The gold medals at the Asian Games also boosted the confidence of the new swimming star, who hopes to enter the national team and compete for China in more international events.

“Chinese men’s swimmers have never been placed among top eight in the short-distance freestyle,” he said. “I hope I can do it, just like what Sun Yang did in the mid-long distance freestyle.”

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要介紹了中國(guó)的泳壇新星寧澤濤。講述了他在仁川亞運(yùn)會(huì)上取得的成績(jī)、在國(guó)內(nèi)泳壇取得的關(guān)注、在訓(xùn)練中遇到的健康問(wèn)題以及他的奮斗目標(biāo)。

1.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段的Ning Zetao has become China’s new swimming star due to his amazing performance at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon(仁川),可知，讓寧澤濤取得關(guān)注的是2014年仁川亞運(yùn)會(huì)上他的驚人表現(xiàn)，并未在國(guó)際性比賽上獲獎(jiǎng)。故選項(xiàng)A、D錯(cuò)誤。而他是一名剛剛小有成績(jī)的游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員，故選擇B最為恰當(dāng)，意指：寧澤濤，一顆冉冉升起之星。

2.推理判斷題。通過(guò)第三段I am happy that my results are pretty close to my personal best.”可知這并非他的最好成績(jī)，故選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤。通過(guò)最后一段的Chinese men’s swimmers have never been placed among top eight in the short-distance freestyle,” he said. “I hope I can do it,可知選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤，他擅長(zhǎng)短距離自由泳。通過(guò)第三段的who later won a fourth gold medal in Incheon.可知他獲得四枚金牌。故選項(xiàng)D錯(cuò)。而通過(guò)第二段的the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record.可知他打破了亞洲紀(jì)錄。故選擇C。

3.推理判斷題。通過(guò)His poor stomach even made it impossible for him to complete week-long full time training.可知他的健康問(wèn)題已經(jīng)影響了他的訓(xùn)練，故選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)；通過(guò)Taken better care of by coaches and doctors, Ning can now train as normally as others. And that is why he can get today’s achievements.可知他的正常訓(xùn)練使得他取得今天的成績(jī)，故選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)。通過(guò)最后一段Chinese men’s swimmers have never been placed among top eight in the short-distance freestyle,可知在短距離自由泳上中國(guó)男子游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員未取得前八名，故選項(xiàng)C錯(cuò)。而根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的who hopes to enter the national team可知他希望加入國(guó)家隊(duì)，所以他現(xiàn)在還不是國(guó)家隊(duì)的一員，故選擇D。

4.詞義判斷題。根據(jù)此詞后的the confidence，以及他的愿望可知，在亞運(yùn)會(huì)上取得金牌也增加了他的信心。故選擇A。
