Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At this year’s Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.

But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.

Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes, “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

1.What does the underlined word “flawless” mean?

A. Ordinary B. Valuable C. Perfect D. Difficult

2.According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?

A. Wu won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games four years ago.

B. Wu broke the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.

C. Wu’s coaches placed great hope on him when he joined the national team.

D. Chinese skaters in women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay took home the gold.

3.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A. The national team and coaches regarded Wu as a talented skater all the way.

B. Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.

C. Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more and more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.

D. It is the hardwork, confidence and strong will that have made Wu a champion.

4.Which one might be the best title of this passage?

A. From Zero to Skating Hero B. The Dream of a Skater, Wu

C. Pyeong Chang Winner Olympics D. Rising of China’s Bright Skiing Star

1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A 【解析】本文是一篇人物故事類短文。主要介紹了中國(guó)男子短道速滑運(yùn)動(dòng)員武大靖。2018年2月22日，在昌平冬奧會(huì)短道速滑男子500米比賽中他以39秒584的成績(jī)打破世界紀(jì)錄強(qiáng)勢(shì)奪冠，成為第一個(gè)獲得奧運(yùn)短道金牌的中國(guó)人。賽后他告訴媒體：“我沒(méi)有給他們一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，我從一開(kāi)始就保持了速度”。武大靖2010年加入中國(guó)隊(duì)，他盡可能的努力工作，一年到頭都在練習(xí)...

（朝陽(yáng)一模）閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。

We should learn to understand our mother well. Here are the best ways towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising, but they have worked for many people. Try them.

Remember your mother's age

As children, we often forget our mother's age. Knowing our mother's age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological (心理的))and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.

Listen to your mother

I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are pretty useful.If you respect her point of view, it will help your mother feel close to you.

Ask your mother about your childhood(童年的)history

If you are lucky enough to have a living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle(拼圖游 戲)and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your childhood history can help you know more clearly who you are,as part of a family which you share with your mother.

Trying to understand our mother is the topic of how we understand ourselves. We should follow the way of her life. When we are able to accept our mother—with all her failings, we can understand her better and it can also help us to know about our shortcomings. Remember that understanding our mother is really about understanding ourselves.

1.Should we learn to understand our mother well?

2.What do children often forget about their mother?

3.How do we make our mother feel close to us?

4.Why do we ask our mother about our childhood history?

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

1.Yes. 2.Their mother’ sage. 3.By respecting her point of view. 4.Because it can help us know more clearly who we are. 5.How to understand our mother better and why we should do it. /The w...
