While watching the Olympics the other night,I came across an incredible sight.The 1 was swimming and started with only three men.For one reason or another,two of them had a 2 start,so they were disqualified.That would have been difficult enough,not having anyone to 3 against.
I watched the man 4 off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong.Now I’m not an expert 5 but I do know a good dive 6 a poor one,and this was not exactly medal 7 .I listened to the crowd begin to 8 this poor man who was clearly having a 9 time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was 10 .He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few 11 strokes,the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing,but beginning to 12 .Some even began to 13 things like,“Come on,you can do it！”,and he 14 finished his race.The crowd went 15 .Even though he recorded one of the 16 times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other 17 .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals,feeling they have 18 been cheated out of gold,or when they act so 19 in front of their competitors,it is nice to watch an underdog (失败者),a man that gave his all—knowing that he had no chance,but competed because of his 20 and the spirit of the games.

Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would
36
: surfing. But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people
37
. Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and fell in love with the sport on the
38
first day. Riding that first
39
was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to
40
surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my
41
, there’s nothing like it. It involves body,
42
, and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all
43
us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that
44 , becoming one with the
45
, is like I’m weightless.
The one thing I can
46
from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean
47
an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and lowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and
48
. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it
49
from any other sport.
I’ve
50
to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new
51
, so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start
52
the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?
There’re women
53
side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys
54
the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to
55
, and they will.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
Being alone in outer space can be
36
. That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them. They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.
38
, being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on
39
space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of
40
is. When men are
41
together for a long period, they begin to feel
42
. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very
43
.
Apparently, although no one wants to be
44
all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of
45
or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to
46
stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in
47
our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

内容概要:本文叙述了一个加利弗利亚的小女孩参加滑冰的比赛的经过,从紧张到放松,
最后取得了胜利。
从后面的状语…to see her mother中可以得到启发。
四处张望的目的就是“希望”见到她母亲。want一般没有现在分词形式，look forward to 中的to是介词，后面应接名词或动名词，故B、C不能选用。
根据常识可以排除另三个选项。
Peggy是女孩，故为女儿。
音乐响起。首句已呈现过该说法，另play在此系及物动词，形式不对。
下文中有and letting it carry her 这样类似用法。
从其后面的状态来看，Peggy心中充满了自信。
表示进入溜冰场之前的最后几秒钟。该空可以根据常识和行文逻辑选定。
表示自然消失而不是人为丢失，应该用gone，而不用lost。
见第二节第一句。
then表示时间上的顺承。
凭语感选定。
as表示“当……的同时”。因为表演完美，所以谢幕时人们欢呼。
选A。the other 后总是接同类名词，故此处选skaters。
根据常识，自由滑冰运动员退场时，观众总是会欢呼的。
选手关注的，除了观众，就是“裁判”了。
第18空前再现了这一说法。
等分数时的心情应是焦急的,故用anxiously。
结果的宣布一般用announce。而战争、罪行等重大事件的宣布则多用declare。
上文中提到了父母亲从加利弗利亚开车过来,所以Peggy可能来自California。

21．B event此处意为“(比赛)项目”。
A a false start(运动中)抢在指令前行动。此处理解为其他选手抢跳了,犯规出局。
D 其他人都被罚下场了,只剩这一名运动员,没有人跟他竞技了。
C 从泳道起点的出发台上跳下泳池,dive此处意为“跳水”。
A “我”不是内行的游泳者,但“我”也能看出入水这一跳的好坏。
A 固定搭配know A from B,意为“区分,辨别”。
B 这一跳可不具有得奖牌应有的水平。
C 奥运会参赛选手一般都是高手,所以这位选手的表现自然引来了观众的嘲笑(laugh at)。
D 这位选手游得艰难,have a tough time＝have a hard time。
B 眼前的情景是值得同情的(pitiful)。
C 在那几下笨拙的(awkward)划水之后……。
C 观众被这位运动员不放弃的精神感动,开始喝彩。
D yell为shout的同义词。观众开始大声喊加油。
A 运动员终于(eventually)游完了全程。
A 结合上文,A项最符合语境。
D 他是奥运历史上最慢的选手之一。
B 句意为：虽然他是奥运历史上最慢的选手之一,但他比其他选手都用心。
A 在比赛中有的银牌获得者会觉得自己是因某种程度上的被骗而无缘金牌……。
D 也有一些运动员因为成绩遥遥领先而趾高气扬。
C 明知不能取胜,却因为自己的意志和奥运会的精神完成了(比赛)。

试题分析：文章的题目Surfing：It's Not Just for Boys Any more明显地告诉我们，本文是关于女孩子对冲浪运动的看法，而且提出了一个很鲜明的观点：冲浪运动并不再是男孩子的专利！
女孩子也能做，而且会有所成就。
41．前后照应逻辑推理词义比较 如果你询问高中的女生们她们最喜欢的体育运动的名字，她们不是告诉(tell)，给予(give)，意识到(realize)，而是回答(answer)你询问的问题。
42．常识运用逻辑推理词义比较 先看语境：前一句的意思是"但是它难道不是男孩子的事情吗?(意思是：这是男孩子的事情。)"；后一句的意思是"大多数人当然不……"，由社会的实际情况和这两句的意思可以判断出，只是有一部分人(不太多)对此问题(前一句)不理解(understand)，不相信(believe)，不能作出回答(reply)，而纳闷、惊奇(wonder)，持怀疑态度，而大多数人却肯定地认为：冲浪运动是男孩子的事情。
43．本题中的very表示强调，正是在第一天就爱上了surfing。
44．常识运用 因为文章是在谈论冲浪运动，冲上第一个浪(wave)去是我经历过的最佳感受，而不是暴风雨 (storm)、航海(sail)或船(boat)。
45．固定搭配词义比较 作者想把冲浪运动和其他运动进行比较(compare)。connect with连接, 联络，将...连起来；compare with与…比较；tie up with和…联系一起；bring带来，引起，通常不与with连用。
46．逻辑推理常识运用 作者把冲浪运动当作了它的生活(life)的组成部分，她不仅仅只是在假期(holiday)里冲浪，当然工作(work)和学习(study)也不能耽误。in my life是"在我的生活中"。
47．常识运用词义比较 冲浪运动涉及到身体，智力、智慧(mind)和心灵、精神诸方面，这三个方面共同组成人的身心发展因素。
48．常识运用逻辑推理 在海洋里进行冲浪运动，身体的沿线(along)，上面(above)，旁边(by)，而是身体的四周(around)都是凉爽的咸水。
49．常识运用逻辑推理 冲浪运动可能要经过沙滩(beach)，有可能是在湖(lake)里，但它主要还是脚踏冲浪板(board)在水(water)面上进行。
50．常识运用逻辑推理 冲浪运动是在大海、大洋中进行的，就有和海洋(ocean)融为一体的感觉。
51．逻辑推理词义比较前后照应 作者不是从其他运动，而是从冲浪运动中获得(get)了无止境的挑战的体会"。再则，前文The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that water，becoming one with the ocean也有暗示。take from减少, 降低；get from从……得到；make from由...制造； keep from阻止, 隐瞒, 抑制。
52．常识运用逻辑推理词义辨析 你永远也不会是最好的冲浪手，因为大洋呈现、提供(offer)的是任何人都控制不了的、数不尽的、各种各样的海浪。catch抓住，捕获；include包括，包含；offer提供；collect收集，聚集。
53．逻辑推理词义比较 有些冲浪手自由自在、娴熟流畅，有些冲浪手则活跃有力、生机勃勃。注意这两个句子的并列关系，应该特别注意free 和 flowing之间词义的顺承和协调"自由而流畅"，后句的aggressive and__13__也应该是这样一种意义联系，故选择A，sharp可以表示"精明敏捷的，迅速活泼，有力有为"的意思，其它三项在意义上与aggressive的顺承和协调相距甚远。
54．固定搭配前后照应词义比较 所有的这些都在吸引着我去冲浪，并使之不同于(different)其他运动。注意此段第一句The one thing I can get from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge.也有所暗示。(be) different from和……不同。(be)far from远离, 远非；known和right通常不与from搭配。
55．逻辑推理词义比较 我尽力(try)地劝我所认识的每一个女孩去做人们认为女孩不能做的事情。choose选择、挑选；try试图、努力；learn学习；promise答应、许诺。
56．常识运用逻辑推理 朝着新的水平(level)不断前进是人类活动的组成部分。level水平，水准, 标准, 级别；point 点, 尖端；step步调, 步伐, 步骤, 措施；part 部分, 局部。
57．逻辑推理常识运用词义比较 所以女孩子们难道不应当应拾级而上，开始冲破(push)男人过去主宰的事物极限吗？reach到达，伸出；accept 接受, 认可；push突出，突破攻击；set 放置，树立，调整。
58．常识运用逻辑推理词义比较 在我们国家有女性和总统不仅仅一起坐(sit)，步行(walk)，战斗(fight)，而且并肩工作(work)着。同时注意句子的一般现在时意义特征，表示经常性的行为。
59．逻辑推理词汇用法 所以为什么女孩子不能够肩并肩地与男孩子一起踢足球，外出一起冲浪呢？介词on表示"在……供职"、"(是)…的成员"，on the football team的意思是"是/成为足球队队员"。
60．常识运用逻辑推理词义比较 给女孩子一个获得成功(succeed)的机会，让她们思考(think) ，感觉(feel)表演(perform)，她们就都会有所成就。

【解析】
61．根据文章意思，独自一人在太空中是很害怕。
62．给他们很多活干，目的就是让他们忙碌。故用busy。
63．考查副词。本句的意思是“和你想要摆脱掉的人待在一起甚至比独自一人更难”。根据上下文可以判断，这里应用表示转折的副词。however“然而，但是”；so far“到目前为止”；after all “毕竟”；therefore“因此”。
64．第二段中的“a long period of time”可以提示我们，将来的太空旅行是长时间的。故用long。
65．根据文章第一段的最后一句的提示，可知这里指的是“调整的问题将越严重”。
66．根据文章中提到的“在潜艇和太空船中”，可以知道这里应指人被“关”起来。shut up“关闭；将人囚禁”；hold up“举起，阻止”；bring up“抚养；提出话题；呕吐”；pick up“好转；接收到；学会”。
67．当几个人长时间被囚禁在一起，渐渐地他们会变得不安。uneasy“不安”。
68．文中指的是“一开始，几个人可以相互接受对方的一些习惯，但长时间后，可能会觉得这比较烦人”。pleasing“讨人喜欢的”；annoying“使人烦恼的”；common“常见的”；valuable“有价值的”。
69．根据上文提到的情况，因此这里指“没人想要一直独自一人”。故用alone。
70．这里应选一个与stress并列的词，故用pressure“压力”。emphasis“强调”；conflict“冲突”；power“权力”。
71．本句的意思是“能很好地调整心态的人能比其他人很好地处理具有压力的局面”。handle= deal with“处理”；create“创造”；affect“影响”；investigate“调查”。
72．根据上文提到的内容可知：这里是指在选择宇航员时为什么会特别关注这方面的情况。
