Michael Phelps of the USA is seen with red cupping marks on his shoulder as he competes during the 2016Rio Olympics men's 200m butterfly in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil,Aug 8,2016.

Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui goes viral
China's women's swimmer Fu Yuanhui has created a hit online not just by winning the bronze medal in the 100m backstroke competition,but also by her facial expressions during the post semi-final interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on Monday.
When asked whether she held back for the final,F(xiàn)u replied"No,I used my‘prehistorical power (洪荒之力)'"What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semi-final.Since then,the so-called"prehistorical power"has gone viral and become a new Internet meme.

Britain wins first Olympic diving gold in men's synchronized 3m springboard(男子雙人3米跳板)
Britain's Jack Laugher and Chris Mears ended China's gold medal monopoly (壟斷) over diving events at the Rio Olympics by winning the men's synchronized 3m springboard final on Wednesday,the country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in diving.

C.Her facial expression during the post semi-final interview.

23.What can we learn from the third news?C
A.China didn't win any medals in diving events at the Rio Olympics.
B.Mike Hixon and Sam Dorman of the USA took silver with 447.81points.
C.Britain had never won the Olympic diving gold medal before the Rio Olympics.
D.Britain became the gold medal monopolist (壟斷者) of diving events at the Rio Olympics.

分析 本文主要介紹了里約奧運會上的三則比較受公眾關注的新聞.

解答 21.C.考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)第一則新聞中提到的"but what grabbed media attention and led to stories and photos around the globe were the purple and red circles on his back."可知,隨著菲爾普斯獲得里約奧運會金牌,他后背上因為拔火罐留下的印記吸引了媒體的關注.故選C. 
22.A.考查細節(jié)理解.通讀第二則新聞內容可知,傅園慧成為公眾注意的中心不僅是因為她獲得了獎牌,而且因為她在賽后的媒體采訪中的夸張的面部表情和她的"我已經(jīng)使用了洪荒之力了"的幽默回答.故選A. 
23.C.考查推理判斷.根據(jù)第三則新聞提到的"Britain's Jack Laugher and Chris Mears ended China's gold medal monopoly(壟斷)over diving events at the Rio Olympics by winning the men's synchronized 3m springboard final on Wednesday,the country's first-ever Olympic gold medal in diving."可知,英國的跳水運動員贏得了男子雙人3米跳板的金牌,這是有史以來英國在奧運會跳水項目上贏得的第一枚金牌.因此推斷英國在里約奧運會之前從來沒有贏得過跳水金牌.故選C.
