Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
"In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn't difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way."
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
"I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can't follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. "Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you'll be a step closer to achieving them."
Kirsten Best
Poet ＆ Writer
"When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can't achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as 'calm', 'peace' or 'focus', either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool."

（1） 主旨大意題。Sir Steven Redgrave主要談?wù)摰氖且粋�獲得五枚奧林匹克金牌的運動員如何克服疾病取得勝利的，故選D。
（2） 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary.可知，她把她的訓(xùn)練計劃放在日記頂端。故選A。
（3） 詞義猜測題。由前面的other可知，distractions與第一句意思基本相同，第一句話表達(dá)的就是讓人注意力分散的事情，結(jié)合上下文可知，答案為C。
（4） 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的：I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. 第二段的："Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you'll be a step closer to achieving them."第三段的：It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence.可知，這三者的共同點是Self-confidence。故答案D正確。
