A

For athletes and volunteers, next year’s Tokyo Olympics could become known as the Get-Up-Early Games.

Hoping to beat the summer heat in the Japanese capital, organizers said on Tuesday they will start the men’s 50-kilometer race walk final at 5:30 am, while the men’s and the women’s marathon finals will go at 6 am. The men’s and the women’s triathlon(三项全能运动) start at 7:30 am. The women’s softball(垒球) has games scheduled for 9 am, but no men’s baseball games will start before noon.

“A 9 am start is early. That’s my impression,” said Reika Utsugi, head coach of Japan’s women’s softball team. “But we will have one year for the preparation. Softball cannot decide the times.” Softball and baseball were dropped after the 2008 Olympics, and are appearing because of their popularity in Japan.

The 1964 Tokyo Olympics were held in the autumn and did not face heat problems. Modern Olympics which are held every four years can no longer be held during that time, avoiding Europe’s crowded soccer schedule, and year-round scheduling of baseball, basketball and hockey in the US. Koji Murofushi, sports director of the Tokyo Games, said organizers had consulted about scheduling with the International Olympic Committee(IOC), the governing bodies of the individual sports, athletes and medical experts. He said athletes would be able to adapt.

“When we look at the Olympic Games as a whole, of course we need to consider the global audience, adjust and control the overall schedule,” Murofushi said. “Athletes, when they know the schedule in advance, can make adjustments to their preparations.”

As previously announced, the swimming finals will begin at 10:30 am. The swim schedule has nothing to do with the heat and will follow the pattern of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Organizers say the first gold medal event will be the women’s 10-meter air rifle, which will take place on July 25 — the day after the opening ceremony. Organizers have labeled Aug 8 — the day before the closing ceremony — as “Super Saturday”, with about 30 finals, the most of any single day. Finals will include the men’s basketball, the men’s soccer and the men’s baseball.

The most difficult event to schedule might be surfing. Organizers have blocked out eight days for the event, hoping surf’s up for at least four of them. It’s a four-day competition. “The schedule is subject to change depending on the wave conditions,” organizers said.

1. The organizers of the Tokyo Olympics will start some events earlier EXCEPT ________.

A. the women’s marathon finals B. the men’s triathlon

C. the women’s softball games D. the swimming finals

2. What can we infer from the passage?

A. The softball game is usually held in the late afternoon.

B. It’s impossible for athletes to deal with the new schedule.

C. The baseball game was cancelled at two Olympic Games.

D. The organizers changed the schedule without consideration.

3. The IOC changed the time of the Olympics Games to ________.

A. beat the summer heat B. meet the needs of athletes

C. avoid famous competitions D. give athletes time to prepare

4. As to the events and awards at the Tokyo Olympics, we can know that ________.

A. the men’s 10-meter air rifle will be the first event

B. Aug 8 will be the day with the most gold medals awarded

C. surfing which is easy to schedule will be a four-day competition

D. the men’s basketball will take place before “Super Saturday”

【答案】1-4 DCCB

【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了明年的东京奥运会具体的赛事安排情况。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知男子和女子马拉松决赛将于早上6点开始。男子和女子铁人三项比赛上午7:30开始。女子垒球比赛安排在上午9点。即女子马拉松决赛、女子垒球比赛以及男子铁人三项比赛将会提前举行，A、B、C选项提到了，只有D选项没有提及。故选D。

2.推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Softball and baseball were dropped after the 2008 Olympics, and are appearing because of their popularity in Japan.”（垒球和棒球在2008年奥运会后被取消，但由于它们在日本的受欢迎程度而再次出现。）以及第四段第二句“Modern Olympics which are held every four years…”可知现代奥运会每四年举办一次，而棒球比赛自2008年就被取消不再举行，可推知自2008年以后棒球比赛在两届奥运会上被取消。故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Modern Olympics which are held every four years can no longer be held during that time, avoiding Europe’s crowded soccer schedule, and year-round scheduling of baseball, basketball and hockey in the US.”可知现代奥运会每四年举办一次，是为了避开欧洲拥挤的足球赛程，以及美国全年的棒球、篮球和曲棍球赛程。即国际奥委会改变了奥运会的时间，以避开著名的比赛。故选C。

4.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Organizers have labeled Aug 8 — the day before the closing ceremony — as “Super Saturday”, with about 30 finals, the most of any single day.”（主办方将8月8日——闭幕式前一天——定为“超级星期六”，有30场决赛，是单日决赛最多的。）可知八月八日当天有30场决赛，因此会诞生很多金牌获得者，故关于东京奥运会的项目和奖项，我们可以知道8月8日将是颁发金牌最多的日子。故选B。

B

Roger Federer, who recently became the oldest man to hold the No. 1 ranking in men's tennis at the age 36, will bring a 12-match winning streak(连胜) to the BNP Paribas Open, which starts this week at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Federer, a five-time winner of the hard-court event and a 20-time Grand Slam singles champion, on Tuesday was seeded No. 1 in a field that has been given up by injuries to several excellent players. Among those missing are world No. 2 Rafael Nadal (hip injury), Stan Wawrinka (knee), who lost to Federer in the 2017 final, David Goffin (eye) and Andy Murray (hip surgery).

Federer, who has spent 305 weeks of his career at the top the Assn of Tennis Professional world rankings, must reach the semifinals(半决赛) at Indian Wells to keep his No. 1 status. If he exits sooner than that, Nadal would regain the top spot. Federer has a first-round bye(轮空) and a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals, where he likely would face No. 5 seed Dominic Thiem of Austria.

Five-time Indian Wells champion Novak Djokovic, who had a small medical intervention(干预) on his troublesome right elbow earlier this year, was seeded 10th in the tournament(锦标赛). Djokovic has played only four matches this year because of his elbow problems and hasn't played a tournament since he lost to Hyeon Chung of South Korea in the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January.

Maria Sharapova of Russia will face Naomi Osaka of Japan on Wednesday with their match scheduled for not before 5:00 p.m.

On Thursday, Serena Williams will play Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus will play Heather Watson of the United Kingdom during the evening session (7 p.m. start).

5. What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A. Federer gave up the match on Tuesday due to the injury.

B. Many excellent players took part in the match including Rafael Nadal.

C. Federer was lucky enough seeded No. 1 on Tuesday.

D. Stan Wawrinka beat Federer in the 2017 final.

6. Why does Federer have a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals?

A. Because he is seeded No.1.

B. Because he has a first-round bye.

C. Because many excellent players are missing.

D. Because he is well enough to beat any player.

7. Who is most likely to be the seed next to Federer among the players who can play in the BNP Paribas Open?

A. Rafael Nadal.        B. Maria Sharapova.

C. Novak Djokovic.       D. Dominic Thiem.

8. What is the best tittle of the text?

A. Roger Federer, seeded No.1

B. Roger Federer, to bring a 12-match winning streak

C. Roger Federer, beat everyone in the tournament

D. Roger Federer, the oldest No.1

【答案】5-8 CBDD

【解析】这是一篇说明文。年龄最大的网球选手Roger Federer以36岁的年龄再获男子网球世界第一，这将为本周在Indian Wells tennis Garden开幕的法国巴黎银行网球公开赛带来12连胜。本文介绍了Roger Federer在这次比赛中的情况。

5.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Among those missing are world No. 2 Ratacl Nadal (hip injury), Stan Wawrinka (knee), who lost to Federer in the 2017 final, David Goffin (eye) and Andy Murray (hip surgery).”可知因为世界排名第二的Ratacl纳达尔(臀部受伤)、2017年决赛输给费德勒的Stan Wawrinka(膝盖受伤)、David Goffin(眼睛受伤)和Andy Murray(臀部手术受伤)都没有入选，所以费德勒周二在因几名优秀球员受伤而放弃的赛场上，成为头号种子。即费德勒在周二的比赛中幸运地成为一号种子选手。故选C。

6.细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Federer has a first-round bye(轮空) and a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals, where he likely would face No. 5 seed Dominic Thiem of Austria.”可知，因为费德勒第一轮轮空，直到四分之一决赛才遇见来自奥地利的5号种子选手 Dominic Thiem，所以他本次比赛的决赛之路看似简单。故选B。

7.推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句中“Among those missing are world No. 2 Rafael Nadal (hip injury)”可知 Rafael Nadal 因伤退赛。根据文章第四段第一句 “Five-time Indian Wells champion Novak Djokovic, who had a small medical intervention(干预) on his troublesome right elbow earlier this year, was seeded 10th in the tournament.”可知 Novak Djokovic 是10号种子选手，排名靠后。又因为 Maria Sharapova 是女子选手，费德勒是男子选手，两人不会在一起排名。故A、B、C项均错误。根据文章第三段最后一句中“where he likely would face No. 5 seed Dominic Thiem of Austria”可知 Dominic Thiem 排名第五，故他最有可能成为仅次于 Federer 的种子选手。故选D。

8.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Roger Federer, who recently became the oldest man to hold the No. 1 ranking in men's tennis at the age 36, will bring a 12-match winning streak (连胜) to the BNP Paribas Open”（年龄最大的网球选手Roger Federer以36岁的年龄重返男子网球世界第一，这将为本周在Indian Wells tennis Garden开幕的BNP Paribas Open带来12连胜。）以及文章主要内容为介绍Roger Federer在周二比赛中的情况，故可知选D。

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

Benefits of Sports

Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It’s a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.

The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you’re involved. 9.       Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions.

10.      Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth. 11.       So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask “Did you enjoy the game?” rather than “Did you win?”

Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership. 12.      Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.

Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics. 13.     

There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!

A. It’s not just your body that benefits from sports.

B. Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.

C. But remember, a child’s self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.

D. If you play group sports, you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.

E. Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive.

F. Among these, learning how to function as part of a team is the most important advantage.

G. Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field.

【答案】9. E  10. A 11. C 12. F 13. G

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了体育运动的益处。

9.根据后句的例证“Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs.”可知，篮球运动员注重力量训练；足球运动员提高速度，而田径运动员则通过长跑训练，几乎每一项运动都需要体力活动和具有竞争力的技能。故选E。

10.这里为段落总领句。根据后句“Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth.”可知，运动有助于心理健康，有助于增强自信和自我价值，故运动受益的不仅仅是你的身体。故选A。

11.根据前句“Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth.”（来自教练、家长和其他运动员的赞扬和鼓励提高了自我价值），和后句“So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask ‘Did you enjoy the game?’ rather than ‘Did you win?’ ”（所以在比赛结束后，最好问一问“你喜欢比赛吗?”而不是“你赢了吗?”）可知，这里句子为转折关系，但是请记住，一个孩子的自我价值不应该以胜利或失败来区分。故选C。

12.根据前句“Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership.”（参加体育运动的孩子也可能从社交方面受益，感觉自己是群体的一部分，建立责任感和领导力），和后句“Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome.”（团队合作包括做一个可靠的队友和学会依靠你的队友来取得一个积极的结果），可知，这里为承上启下句。其中，学习如何成为团队的一员是最重要的优势。故选F。

13. 根据前两句“Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics.”可知，这里对本段进行总结，只有遵守严格的纪律，你才能在课堂上和运动场上都取得成功。故选G。
