9参考答案：1．C    2．A    3．D    4．A【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了本来自信满满的作者在自己的主场因赛跑节奏控制的不好而败北。1．细节理解题。根据第一段第四五六句“Buttheracethatdayfeltuniquefromtheget-go.Foronething,Ilikethecourse.Itwasmyteam’shomecourse,oneIwasusedtorunningduringpractices.(但那天的比赛从一开始就感觉与众不同。一方面，我喜欢这个比赛。这是我的队的主方赛场，一个我在训练中已经跑习惯了的场地。)”和最后一句“Italsomeantalotmorethannormal-thatmyparentsweretocheermeon.(这也比平常更有意义——我的父母来给我加油。)”可知，这次比赛对作者独特的原因是两个：他的主场，父母的加油。故选C项。2．推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“LittledidIknowmycoachwaslaughingtohimself,thinking,“Gabeisdonefor!”(我根本不知道我的教练在暗自苦笑，心想：“盖比完蛋了!”)”可知，教练认为作者会在比赛中失败。故选A项。3．推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Ifinishedtherace,butinnowherenearthetimeIcouldhaveifI’dpacedmyselfwellfromthebeginning.(我完成了比赛，但如果我从一开始就控制好自己的节奏，时间快结束时，我没一定会在哪。)”可知，作者不喜欢这场比赛的原因是他遗憾没能做的更好。故选D项。4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一二句“Ienjoyedmostraces,evenwhilepushingmyself,butthisonewasnotenjoyableintheleast.Ifinishedtherace,butinnowherenearthetimeIcouldhaveifI’dpacedmyselfwellfromthebeginning.(即使是在逼迫自己的时候，我也喜欢大多数比赛，但这次比赛一点也不享受。我完成了比赛，但如果我从一开始就控制好自己的节奏，时间快结束时，我没一定会在哪。)”可知本文讲的是本来自信满满的作者因为没有控制好赛跑节奏而败北。故选A项。5．D    6．C    7．C    8．B【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述在一次越野赛中，领先的肯尼亚选手Abel看错终点线，在距离终点十米的地方突然慢了下来。紧随其后的西班牙选手Iván本来可以超越他第一个到达终点，但他没有这样做，而是指引对手Abel通过终点线，赢得比赛。通过讲述该故事传达了诚实很重要的主题思想。5．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Butthen,thinkinghehadalreadyreachedthefinishline,hestartedslowingdowninhispace.”（但是随后，认为他已经到达终点，他开始放慢步伐）可知，Abel认为自己已经到达了终点，所以慢了下来。故选D项。6．推理判断题。根据第三段中Iván所说的话“IjustdidwhatIhadtodo.Hewastherightfulwinner.HewasfaraheadofmeandIcouldn’thavecaughthimupifhehadn’tmadeamistake.”（我只是做了我该做的。他是真正的赢家。他领先我很多，如果他没有犯错，我是赶不上他的）可知，他认为领先自己的Abel如果没有出现失误，自己是不可能超越他的。由此可推测，Iván认为自己不应该获胜，Abel应该获胜。故选C项。7．词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Iván’scoach,formerSpanishrunnerMartinFiz,saidhewouldnothavethoughttodothesamething.”（Iván的教练，前西班牙跑步选手MartinFiz说他没想过去做同样的事情）可知，Iván的这个行为让他的教练都感到意外，更不用说常人了。故推测“stun”与“shock”同义，都表示“使震惊”。故选C项。8．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Ivánhopeditwouldspreadamessageabouttheimportanceof

10honesty.”（Iván希望这件事能传递一个信息，即诚实很重要）并结合文章的主要内容推知，作者通过Iván的故事告诉我们在社会生活的方方面面都需要诚实。故选B项。9．D    10．A    11．D    12．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是关于肌肉混淆训练是否真的有效的问题的研究。9．词句猜测题。由第一段的“muscleconfusion(肌肉混淆)”，第二段的“unfamiliarroutines(不熟悉的日常训练)”和“ourbodiesandmusclesandpreventthemfromgettingintoasettledstateorreachingatrainingplateau(atimeoflittlechangeafteraperiodofprogress)(我们的身体和肌肉，阻止它们进入稳定状态或达到训练高原期（一段时间的进步后很少有变化的时期）)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“这种不稳定性的理论是，不熟悉的日常活动会困扰我们的身体和肌肉，阻止它们进入稳定状态或达到训练平台（一段时间的进步后几乎没有变化）”，划线词perplex的意思是“使困惑”，和confuse意思相近，故选D。10．细节理解题。根据第五段的“Thenonegroupbeganastandard,weight-trainingroutine,performingthesameexercisesinthesameordereachweek.Theothergroup,though,didadifferentworkouteachsession,pickingexercisesrandomlyfromadatabaseof80.(然后一组开始标准的负重训练，每周以相同的顺序进行相同的训练。而另一组则在每一阶段进行不同的锻炼，从数据库中的80个练习中随机选择。)”可知，在研究过程中，两组人的主要区别是他们的训练方式是否不同。故选A。11．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Thosemencompletingtheever-changingworkoutsreportedshowingmoreenthusiasmforexerciseatthestudy’sendthantheothergroup.(在研究结束时，那些完成了不断变化的锻炼的人比另一组表现出了更多的锻炼热情。)”可知，研究人员从他们的研究中得出的结论是改变锻炼方式有助于提高动力。故选D。12．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段的“Thatideahassomeappealandmanysupportersbutlittleindependentscientificbacking.So,foranewstudy,whichwaspublishedinPLOSOne,agroupofofresearchersfromSpainandtheUnitedStateswholonghadbeeninterestedintheimpactsandspecificsofresistancetrainingdecidedtotrytoconfuseafewmusclesandseewhatwouldhappen.(这个想法有一些吸引力，也有很多支持者，但几乎没有独立的科学依据。因此，在一项发表在PLOSOne上的新研究中，一组来自西班牙和美国的研究人员决定尝试迷惑一些肌肉，看看会发生什么。他们长期以来一直对阻力训练的影响和细节感兴趣。)”可知，本文主要讨论了肌肉混淆训练是否真的有效的问题，因此最好的题目是C选项“Willmuscleconfusionwork?(肌肉混淆有用吗？)”，故选C。13．B    14．C    15．D【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍全球一些著名的体育大赛。13．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“ItisthecompetitionbetweenthetopteamfromtheAmericanFootballConferenceandthetopteamfromtheNationalFootballConferencefortheVinceLombardiTrophy.(这是美国足球大会的顶级球队和全国足球大会的顶尖球队争夺VinceLombardi奖杯的比赛。)”可知，SuperBowl是一场冠军赛。故选B项。14．细节理解题。由文章第三段“Thewinneristhecar,drivenbyateamofthreedrivers,whichcoversthegreatestdistancein24hours.(获胜者是一辆由三名司机组成的车队驾驶的汽车，它能在24小时内跑完最长的距离。)”可知，这是一场汽车比赛。故选C项。

1115．推理判断题。由文章第一段“Acentury’sworthoftheWorldSerieshasseenmanythrillingmatches.(长达一个世纪的世界大赛见证了许多激动人心的比赛。)”；第二段“Whenitwasheldforthefirsttimein1967,therewereplentyofemptyseatsanditappealedtoasmallTVaudience.(1967年首次举办时，有很多空座位，吸引了一小部分电视观众。)”；第三段“hefirstLeManscontesttookplaceinMay1923.TodayitisheldeveryJune.(第一届勒芒比赛于1923年5月举行，现在每年6月举行。)”；第四段“Firstheldin1893,thetournamentisolderthanthetango.(第一次举办于1893年，比探戈更古老。)”可知，PoloatPalermo的历史最悠久。故选D项。16．C    17．B    18．C    19．A【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了双胞胎姐妹获得女子自由泳双料冠军，为中国夺得艺术游泳项目的第三枚金牌。16．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The25-year-oldtwins,whoalsowonthewomen’stechnicaldoubleandthewomen’steamtechnical,beattheUkrainianandAustrianteamswithascoreof95.5667points.(在女子技术双打和女子团体技术比赛中，双胞胎以95.5667分的成绩击败了乌克兰队和奥地利队。)”和第三段“IfeelveryhappyandexcitedtowinthethirdgoldmedalfortheChineseartisticswimmingteam(为中国艺术游泳队赢得第三枚金牌，我感到非常高兴和兴奋)”可知，双胞胎姐妹以95.5667分的成绩赢得了第三块金牌。故选C项。17．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“AccordingtoQianyi,akeytosuccesswasthewintertrainingplanbythecoach,whichhaslaidaverygoodfoundationforthem.(据千一介绍，成功的关键是教练的冬训计划，这为他们奠定了很好的基础。)”可知，用千一的话来说，他们成功的关键因素是他们严格的训练计划。故选B项。18．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“TheWorldChampionshipsisabigtestforus.Wehopetoplaysteadily,stepbystep,anddoagoodjob.Ibelievethatnomatterwhatkindofdifficultieswemeet,wecanovercomethem(世锦赛对我们来说是一个很大的考验。我们希望能稳扎稳打，一步一个脚印，把工作做好。我相信无论我们遇到什么样的困难，我们都能克服它们)”可以推知，双胞胎姐妹是有决心的。故选C项。19．推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了双胞胎姐妹王六一和王千一获得女子自由泳双料冠军，为中国夺得艺术游泳项目的第三枚金牌，所以文章可能会出现在报纸的体育新闻版块。故选A项。20．A    21．D    22．B    23．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要谈论的是患有唐氏综合征的Niki创造历史的感人故事。20．推理判断题。根据第二段“Evenaftersufferingafallfromhisbikeduringthesecondlegoftherace,hecalledonhisinnerstrengthtogetbackup,keepgoingandgetthejobdone.”（尽管在比赛的第二段他摔倒了，他依靠自己内心的力量重新站起来，继续前进并且完成了比赛）可知，他是一个意志坚强的人，故选A项。21．词句猜测题。根据第三段“It’saboutbeinganexampletootherkidsandfamiliesthatfacesimilardifficulties.”（这是对其他面临类似困难的孩子和家庭是一个榜样）可知，其他唐氏综合症孩子和家庭可以从患有唐氏综合症的他身上得到激励和鼓舞，画线词意为“鼓励（Encouraged）”，故选D项。22．推理判断题。根据第六段其说的话“Nolimits.Noboundaries(边界).Keepdreamingbigandgoingforit！”（没有极限，没有边界。继续做梦并实现它吧！）可知，他的话语充满了鼓励之词，他想鼓励Niki，故选B项。23．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Andthenherana26.2-milemarathon(马拉松)tobecomethefirstcompetitorwith
