Question

【題目】 They are probably the longest-standing and biggest rivals (對手) in international sport— Chinese badminton player Lin Dan, with his deadly smashes (扣球) and drop shots, and his Malaysian rival Lee Chong Wei, who is known for his spirit and determination.

Over the years, the two have competed with each other many times, and both have experienced victory and defeat. But Lin beat Lee the first two times they faced each other in the Olympic Games—in Beijing in 2008 and then in London in 2012.

And that was inadmissible for Lee. In fact, according to BadmintonBlaze.com, Lee once said that if he had the choice between winning an Olympic gold and beating Lin, he would absolutely choose victory over his old rival.

And he eventually did, at the 2016 Rio Games. When he beat Lin that day, Lee dropped to the floor, covered his face with his hands and looked around the stadium like a gold-medal moment although Lee eventually lost out in the final to another Chinese player, Chen Long.

All the years of trying to outdo each other have not only driven Lin and Lee to surpass (超越) themselves as players, but also developed a special friendship between the two.

They care for and encourage each other. They invited each other to their own weddings. And right before this year’s Malaysia Open, Lee, who wasn’t able to compete there on account of his nose cancer, wrote on social networking site Facebook, “My friend Lin Dan, you have my best wishes for this Malaysian Open. If I were to hope for a non-Malaysian to win the men’s singles title, I hope that it’s you my friend, my greatest rival.”

Lin and Lee are now pushing 36 and 37 respectively—ages by which most athletes would have retired—but they are planning to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, in the hope that they can play each other once again.

It’s as Badminton Association of Malaysia vice president David Wee once said of the two, “they bring out the best in each other”.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。主要講述了中國羽毛球運(yùn)動員林丹和馬拉西亞運(yùn)動員李宗偉之間的故事，兩人多次在賽場對決，賽場下兩人惺惺相惜，互相成就了最好的彼此。

【1】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一句“They are probably the longest-standing and biggest rivals”可知，兩人是對手。根據(jù)第五段“All the years of trying to outdo each other have not only driven Lin and Lee to surpass (超越) themselves as players, but also developed a special friendship between the two.”多年來，林丹和李宗偉都在努力超越對方，這不僅讓他們成為了超越自我的選手，也讓兩人之間建立了一種特殊的友誼。由此判斷出他們即使朋友也是敵人。故選B項。

【2】

詞義猜測題。畫線詞所在句的主語that是指上文提到的“林丹在2008年北京奧運(yùn)會和2012年倫敦奧園會前兩次相遇中擊敗了李宗偉”，再由畫線詞下文“Lee once said that if he had the choice between winning an Olympic gold and beating Lin, he would absolutely choose victory over his old rival.”李宗偉曾說，如果讓他在贏得奧運(yùn)金牌和擊敗林之間做出選擇，他肯定會選擇戰(zhàn)勝老對手。可推知，“And that was inadmissible for Lee.”意思是“對李宗偉來說被林丹打敗是難以接受的”，inadmissible意為“不可接受的”。故選A項。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“And he eventually did, at the 2016 Rio Games.When he beat Lin that day, Lee dropped to the floor, covered his face with his hands and looked around the stadium like a gold-medal moment although Lee eventually lost out in the final to another Chinese player, Chen Long.”可知， 在2016年里約熱內(nèi)盧的比賽中，他終于做到了。李宗偉打敗林丹后，躺在地上，雙手掩面，環(huán)顧體育場，就像一個得金牌的時刻，再結(jié)合上文提到他頭兩次敗給林丹�？赏浦�，李宗偉把戰(zhàn)勝林丹看得很重。故選D項。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段第三句“And right before this year’s Malaysia Open, Lee, who wasn’t able to compete there on account of his nose cancer”可知，李宗偉患了鼻癌；再由第七段中“but they are planning to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games”可知，林丹和李宗偉計劃參加2020年東京奧運(yùn)會，由此可推知，李宗偉雖然患了鼻癌，但是沒有打算退出打羽毛球。故選C項。
