3 . What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something?

“One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set.”

Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today, sub-four-minute miles are considered routine even in high school. And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by mere inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.

One factor is now becoming more understood and heavily emphasized: sports psychology. Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological aspect of sports has become more and more esteemed. He points out that most professional teams have hired sports psychologists for their players.

In addition, every aspect of athletics --- training, nutrition, injury treatment --- is far better than it’s ever been. “Besides, children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely, and they become much better at it.”

“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds. “And one of those   things is the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”

1. Which statement will Wilmore probably agree with?

A．It is preferable to set universal standards for athletes.

B．Athletes will become the most sought-after celebrities.

C．It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.

D．Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.

2. Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To introduce two great athletes.

B．To show some of the latest world records.

C．To prove the limits of the body can be pushed.

D．To explain what athletes can achieve under stress.

3. What does the underlined word “esteemed” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Similar.	B．Valued.
C．Complex.	D．Specialized.

4. How are today’s children different from those years ago according to Wilmore?

A．They participate in far more sports.

B．They are less likely to get injured in sports.

C．They begin playing sports at a much earlier age.

D．They become more skilful at one particular sport.

4 . Somewhere in the Southern Pacific Ocean, Kirsten Neuschäfer is alone on her boat as she tries to outfight the latest storm that crosses her path. Neuschäfer is battling to win what is possibly the most challenging competition the sailing world has to offer — the Golden Globe Race. Since setting off from the coast of France, Neuschäfer, the only woman competing, has left all competitors in her wake. Of the 16 entrants who set sail five months ago, only four are still in the race, and for the moment at least, she’s leading.

Unlike its more famous cousin, the Vendée Globe solo nonstop race with its purpose-built boats made for speed, Golden Globe entrants sail low-tech boats without modern electronic aid — no laptops or electronic charts, or complicated weather routing (气象定线). To find their position at sea, participants instead rely on celestial navigation   (天文导航) and simple speed calculations.

Racers don’t do it for the money. The prize of 5,000 pounds is not even enough to cover entry fees. “The single-handed aspect was the one that drew me,” Neuschäfer, who is from South Africa, says of her decision to enter. “I really like the aspect of sailing by celestial navigation,” she says, adding that she’s always wanted to know “what it would have been like back when you didn’t have all the modern technology at your fingertips.”

The days on board aren’t always full of drama. A typical day, if there is such a thing, starts just before sunrise, Neuschäfer says, “a good time to get the time signal on the radio so that I can synchronize (校准) my watches,” which she needs for accurate celestial navigation. “Then… I’ll have a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal.” A walk around the deck to see if anything goes wrong and perhaps a bit of reading before another sight at noon to check her position. In a media interview conducted through an old-fashioned satellite phone on her boat, she says after the race finishes, “the first thing I’d like to do is eat ice cream.”

1. Which of the following best explains “in her wake” underlined in Paragraph 1?

A．Cheering her on.	B．Following her lead.
C．Beside her.	D．Behind her.

2. What can be inferred about the Golden Globe Race?

A．It puts emphasis on team spirit.

B．Its winners master traditional sailing skills.

C．It is the most well-known sailing race in the world.

D．Its boats are specially built to achieve higher speeds.

3. What attracted Neuschäfer to enter the Golden Globe Race?

A．The challenge of unassisted sailing.

B．The chance of sailing around the globe.

C．The recognition from the sailing community.

D．The honor coming with winning the first prize.

4. What are most of Neuschäfer’s days on board like?

A．They are long and tiring.	B．They are relatively peaceful.
C．They are totally unpredictable.	D．They are busy but manageable.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Different sports filled my days in my youth. I dreamed or a big win some day, with a big trophy (奖杯). I was skillful and fast, or so I thought. However, I soon learned my skills seemed quite weak because the bigger, stronger boys seemed to occupy every corner of the playground. Once I was in the 100-yard hurdles, the only recognition I received for my performance was two bloody knees.

In college, I took a swim competition, dreaming of the glory! It turned out I achieved nothing. As an older adult, I still maintained an active lifestyle. In 2010 I signed up for a stair-climbing challenge to raise money for fighting against lung cancer. My father had died of the same disease, so this was a meaningful cause for me. Then, in 2019,the organization offered an even more challenging climb option: the vertical (垂直的) mile. So I would have three hours to climb up and down twenty-eight floors fifteen times, plus three more.

I trained hard. When the challenge started. I felt confident. But soon my legs started feeling heavy. What was worse, I began experiencing leg cramps (抽筋). My progress slowed dramatically and I quickly fell behind. When came down after finishing lap 14, it was past the time limit, so my big win had escaped once again.

Soon after the climb, I struggled to experience the sense of self-satisfaction. And I had, after all, set a goal for myself to prove what I was made of, what I had inside me. And what I had inside me was, “Nice try, but you didn’t make it.” So, a year later, at age 62 and after numerous workouts, I was back. Like last year, I was well ahead after an hour and I again started feeling some discomfort in my legs. I heard myself cry out loud, “Oh, no not again!” I finally stopped and sat down on the stairs, feeling quite depressed and wondering if my dream was over. A few climbers stopped to offer help. I was touched, but embarrassed to accept. Except for one climber. An angel climber, really.

Jessica, who I happened to know, was a salesman’s friend when I bought new running shoes at his store. And without that connection, she might have climbed past me as I sat on those steps, my legs shaking. But all those things did happen, and Jessica stopped to help.

“JAMIE EVANS.”

Oh no. Please tell me that Coach Cafferty did NOT just say my name. Not for the one-hundred-meter breaststroke (蛙泳). Except all eyes were turned to me when she announced it, and her eyes met mine over the clipboard (剪贴板) that held the list of events and swimmers for the Plain Township Aquatic Center meet. The PTAC meet was the first of the season, and I was not ready.

“Remember, the meet is on Wednesday night. Be here at four-thirty for and the race kicks off at six. I’ll see you at practice tomorrow.” Coach Cafferty added. The crowd cleared quickly and I headed back home, feeling desperate.

“Did you find out your events for Wednesday?” Mom asked as she slid the pizza box across the table to me.

“Yeah. One-hundred breaststroke,” I finally said, not meeting her eyes. “I don’t know why Coach didn’t give me backstroke (仰泳). She knows it’s my best. I can’t swim breaststroke!”

“Maybe she sees something you don’t.” Mom said.

“Or maybe I should just quit the swim team.”

Mom frowned. “Is that what you want?”

I sighed. “No.” I took a bite of my pizza. “I’m terrible at breaststroke. What happens when I show up on Wednesday and race, and I sink to the bottom of the pool? Or even worse，come in last?”

“Someone has to be last.” Mom pointed out.

“But I don’t even know if I can swim breaststroke for one-hundred meters!” I set my pizza down. “She had submitted the names, but there’s no way I can do this.”

“You could. But how will you know unless you try?” Mom persuaded.

“Yeah, but if I try, I could fail. In front of everyone.” I pictured the entire crowd watching as I finished last, pointing and laughing. My belly squeezed.

Mom set her pizza down and gave me her I’m-saying-something-important-so-listen face. “Don’t worry about other people. Just race against yourself. Forget about anything else except doing your best and swimming your own race. Prove to yourself that you can do it.”

Somehow, there seemed a mysterious power in her words comforting my unsettling heart and I decided to have a try. The next day, I was at practice as required.
