Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·重庆市名校联盟二诊模拟)On a bright early summer morning，many
young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland.They
are members of a competitive summer swim team ，and that's a regular part of
their daily life.As they train and cut seconds off their times，which makes them
closer to the championship in the following largescale(大规模的) competitions，
they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun.However，
the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just honor or health related.You
can learn useful life skills.
Paul Waas，coach of the swim team，explains，“The discipline(自制力) comes
into play when you're talking about concentrating on the details that your coaches
are saying as it makes you faster rather than just going up and down the pool the
same way you have every time.When you focus on what you're doing right and
what you can do better，then you'll see the improvement.”
Besides，there is also responsibility，goals and workings within a group.Again，
here is Coach Waas.“It's really great！It's so fun to watch from year to year.I've
had kids who as 7yearolds on the team could barely pay attention in practice
and were only interested in who was going first.Now they've come back as
8yearolds ， having set some goals and having things that they want to
achieve.These skills can help them a lot.”
But playing the sports is not without harm.Some can be hard on the body.Young
athletes suffer serious injuries that follow them into adulthood.Coach Waas says
that in fact，swimming is different from most others.First，it poses a lower risk
of injury.The second one relates to how swim teams are structured.Actually，
children are not the only ones who can benefit.Adults can also benefit from team
sports.
【语篇解读】 参加团队体育运动不仅让你身体更健康，还会教会你许多有

A．To obtain vitamin D from the sun.
B．To build practical skills for future.

D．To carry out their routine practice.
D [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“On a bright early summer morning，
many young...members of a competitive summer swim team，and that's a regular
part of their daily life.”可知，这些孩子一大早聚集在游泳池目的是练习游泳，
这已是他们的惯例。
【干扰项分析】虽然文中提到了“they are getting lots of physical exercise and
vitamin D from the sun”，但是这些是在练习游泳的同时会获得的益处，而不
是目的，故排除 A 项；“You can learn useful life skills”也是团队体育运动的
额外收获，而非练习目的，故排除 B 项；“makes them closer to the championship
in the following largescale(大规模的) competitions”指孩子们的训练可能带来
的结果，与题干不符，故排除 C 项。]

A．Swimmers should concentrate on details.
B．Members get disciplined and focused in the team.
C．Coaches play a key role in players' improvement.

B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The discipline(自制力)comes into play
when you're talking about concentrating on the details”“When you focus on what
you're doing right and what you can do better”可知，教练的话暗示在团队里
练习时，队员会变得自律和专注，故 B 项符合题意。]

A．They care more about who goes first.
B．They pay less attention to training.

什么，想要得到什么，故选 D 项。]
4．What does the author want to convey in the text?
A．Exercise benefits everyone.
B．Swimming is better than other sports.
C．Team sports teach life lessons.
D．Physical exercise should be a habit.
C [主旨大意题。综合全文内容可知，本文主要讲了团队体育运动会教授

useful life skills.”“These skills can help them a lot.”均是暗示。]
B
(2020·长沙市统一模拟)A cute panda “from the future” and a traditional
red lantern signifying( 表 示 ) China's past were uncovered as the respective
mascots(吉祥物) for the 2020 Winter Olympics and Paralympics on Tuesday.
Just over a year since submissions of proposals were first invited for the project，
panda Bing Dwen Dwen and red lantern Shuey Rhon Rhon were revealed as the
winners at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
Bing Dwen Dwen is described as a panda wearing an icy shell that is stylized
as a sports helmet.The outfit is similar to a spacesuit，so the panda can be imagined
as a winter sports athlete from the future.Many details of the design refer to
significant elements of Beijing 2022.A series of colored floating lines around its
head resemble tracks on an ice rink，similar to one of the Games' venues－the
National Speed Skating Oval，also known as the “Ice Ribbon”．
Bing means “ice”，which is a symbol of purity and toughness，in line with
the spirit of the Olympics.Dwen suggests health and intelligence，with the repetition
of the word giving it a more informal，friendly feel.Altogether，Bing Dwen Dwen
is a representation of physical strength，mental toughness and the spirit of the
4/12
Olympics.
Paralympic mascot Shuey Rhon Rhon is equally complex in its meaning.It
resembles a Chinese red lantern，commonly seen on doors and streets during Chinese
New Year，which in 2022 falls three days before the Olympic Winter Games opening
ceremony.Red lanterns symbolize happiness，harvest and wealth，while the crown
like “Ruyi” is a symbol of royal authority in Chinese culture.Shuey Rhon Rhon's
head is adorned (装饰) with designs of pigeons by paper cutting.Their arrangement
forms the shape of the Temple of Heaven ， one of Beijing's most famous
landmarks.The blush on the mascot's cheeks adds a festive feel，with the color
red associated with good luck.
Shuey means “snow”，while Rhon Rhon are two different Chinese characters
with the same pronunciation.The name symbolizes harmony and exchanges between
different cultures，and building a community with a shared future.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了 2022 年北京冬奥会吉祥物“冰墩墩”和冬
残奥会吉祥物“雪容融”的外观、设计理念及象征意义。“冰墩墩”是以熊猫为

In addition to that, Virgil van Dijk presented David with 9.________(ticket)for

【语篇解读】 David 小时候由于缺氧，身体发育受到了影响。但是，他对
利物浦足球俱乐部的喜爱却从未减少。他的哥哥 Ian 给该俱乐部写了一封信，说
明了David的情况，球队为了回馈David对他们的喜爱，特委托明星后卫 Virgil van
Dijk 去看望 David，并邀请他去球队训练场地和球队见面，还赠送给他这个赛季
剩余比赛的所有门票。
1．to [考查固定用法。thanks to 为固定用法，意为“由于，幸亏”，符合
语境，所以填 to。]
2．who [考查关系词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，
在从句中作主语，修饰表示人的先行词 Ian，所以填 who。]
10/12
3．wrote [考查谓语动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，空处为本句的谓语，
又结合语境可知，写信发生在过去，故空处需要用一般过去时，所以填 wrote。]
4．academically [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰前面的动
词 struggled，需要用副词，所以填 academically。]
5．tries [考查从句谓语的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处为
who 引导的定语从句的谓语。结合语境可知，David 是利物浦足球俱乐部的忠实
球迷，他是一位季票持有者，他会尽可能多地去看球队的比赛，故本句描述的是
客观存在的情况，空处需用一般现在时，又主语为 who，修饰的 a season ticket
holder 为第三人称单数，所以填 tries。]
6．greatest [考查形容词的最高级。根据句意可知，该处表示“该球队中
最伟大的队员之一”，需用形容词的最高级形式，所以填 greatest。]
7．considered [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语为 visited，
空处为动词的非谓语形式，与其逻辑主语 Virgil van Dijk 之间为动宾关系，所以
填过去分词形式 considered。]
8．a [考查冠词。根据句意可知，冒号后的内容与“the surprise of a
lifetime”呼应，为名词短语，表示“去利物浦足球俱乐部的训练场地和球队见面
的旅行”，为泛指，且 trip 的发音以辅音音素开头，所以填 a。]

可知，此处指的是这个赛季剩余比赛的全部门票，ticket 为可数名词，需用其复
数形式，所以填 tickets。]
10．remaining [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空前为 the，空后为
名词 games，空处应为形容词作定语，修饰后面的名词 games，所以填 remaining。]
