Answer 1

分析 文章大意：2013年九月二號，游泳運動員戴安娜．尼亞德到達即韋斯特，64歲的Nyad成為從古巴不使用防鯊籠游泳到佛羅里達的第一人，創(chuàng)造歷史．她花了近50個小時完成這個103英里的游泳．在完成之后，她說，永不言棄，什么時候追夢都不晚．這是她第五次嘗試，是什么助她走向成功了呢？是日復(fù)一日的訓(xùn)練，更重要的是她堅定的意志以及她的團隊幫助了她．在這次游泳歷程中，盡管Nyad面對了很多挑戰(zhàn)，但她卻認為為了夢想一切都值得．她曾寫博客說，她為自己的團隊驕傲，也為自己驕傲．奧巴馬總統(tǒng)也向她表示了祝賀．

解答 61．答案C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Nyad made history by becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without using a shark cage（防鯊籠）．"可知，她從古巴游到了佛羅里達州，故選C．
62．答案B．判斷推理題．根據(jù)"This was Nyad's fifth attempt to complete the swim"可知這是她第五次嘗試，所以之前她已經(jīng)嘗試過四次了，故選B．
63．答案D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"She had trained for years，sometimes swimming for days at a time．But even more important than that was her mind．Besides，she had a team that helped her along the way．"可知是她的訓(xùn)練以及自身的意志和她的團隊促成了她的成功，故選D．
64．答案B．詞義判斷題．根據(jù)"Other swimmers had made the trip before，swimming inside shark cages which protected them as they moved through the dangerous waters"可知其他游泳者之前游過這段歷程，但在危險地帶都會在防鯊籠里被保護，因此them指其他游泳者，故選B．
65．答案A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Other swimmers had made the trip before"和"Nyad made history by becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without using a shark cage（防鯊籠）"可知，其他游泳者之前就有過從古巴到佛羅里達州的歷程，Nynd只是不使用防鯊籠完成的第一人，故選A．
