Question

Ning Zetao has become China’s new swimming star due to his amazing performance at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon(仁川), South Korea.

With already two gold medals in hand, the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record. This result has been recognized by FINA as the world’s third best time this year, fast enough to have won a gold medal in last year’s Barcelona World Championships.

“It is my first international event,”said Ning, who later won a fourth gold medal in Incheon. “I am happy that my results are pretty close to my personal best.”

Born in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou,Ning entered the local team at the age of 11 and joined the navy team in 2007.He first caught people’s attention in 2009 when he finished eighth in the 200m individual medley at the National Games.

Nevertheless, Ning suffered from bone infection in both knees for a long time, which made him unable to train hard on his kicks.

He also had an indigestion problem and had to eat “soft” food which is easy to digest. His poor stomach even made it impossible for him to complete week-long full time training.

But the young swimmer never gives up. His idol is the great Russian swimmer Alexander Popov, who continued to win Olympic gold medals after he was stabbed on a street. Ning said, “He was a real fighter and I need to learn from him.”

Taken better care of by coaches and doctors, Ning can now train as normally as others. And that is why he can get today’s achievements.

The gold medals at the Asian Games also boosted the confidence of the new swimming star, who hopes to enter the national team and compete for China in more international events.

“Chinese men’s swimmers have never been placed among top eight in the short-distance freestyle,” he said. “I hope I can do it, just like what Sun Yang did in the mid-long distance freestyle.”

2. am happy that my results are pretty close to my personal best. 我很高興我的成績(jī)幾乎接近我個(gè)人的最好成績(jī)，故A不正確；選項(xiàng)B，從文中第二段the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record. 今年他21歲計(jì)時(shí)47.70秒在100米自由泳中創(chuàng)造了新的亞洲紀(jì)錄。第五段Nevertheless, Ning suffered from bone infection in both knees for a long time然而,Ning遭受雙膝骨感染了很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，故可知他并不是很擅長(zhǎng)200米自由泳，故不正確；選項(xiàng)D，從第二段可知，Ning在參加國(guó)際游泳比賽之前已經(jīng)獲得了兩個(gè)金牌，2014年在Incheon獲得了兩枚金牌。故不正確；選項(xiàng)C，從文中第二段the 21-year-old clocked 47.70 seconds in the 100m freestyle, setting a new Asian record. 今年他21歲計(jì)時(shí)47.70秒在100米自由泳中創(chuàng)造了新的亞洲紀(jì)錄，故正確，故選C。

3. gold medals at the Asian Games also boosted the confidence of the new swimming star, who hopes to enter the national team and compete for China in more international events.在亞運(yùn)會(huì)上的金牌也增加了這位新游泳明星的信心，他希望進(jìn)入國(guó)家隊(duì)，并為中國(guó)參加各種國(guó)際賽事。由此可推斷出，Ning還不是國(guó)家游泳隊(duì)的成員。故選D。

4. 詞匯分析題。從文中倒數(shù)第二段The gold medals at the Asian Games also boosted the confidence of the new swimming star, who hopes to enter the national team and compete for China in more international events.在亞運(yùn)會(huì)上的金牌也增加了這位新游泳明星的信心，他希望進(jìn)入國(guó)家隊(duì)，并代表中國(guó)參加各種國(guó)際賽事。根據(jù)hope可判斷出boost在此意思是增加，增強(qiáng)。故選increase，可知選A。
