the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin.

She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Crey-Thormpson. Born with spine
hifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralysed from the waist down. Tanni used a
wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from

Tanni won gold in the 100,200,400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved she first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon
victories.
Tanni's enduring success had been part motivation, part preparation, "The
training I do enables me to be a good sprinter (短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever
distance I want to race I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart."
Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her
wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid
life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series
of Paralympics--a top lever athletic career covering two decades. She has won the
London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has
set over thirty world records.
What advice does she have for young athletes? "Work hard at your studies, and
then train, train and train again."

When athletes at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics collect their medals, they'll not only be wearing something that celebrates their sporting performance, but something that symbolizes lastingness. For both the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, organizers aim to make all of the gold, silver, and bronze medals out of used electronics. This strong message about how to make use of e-waste has gotten a lot of Japan involved.
Starting in April 2017, the Japanese Olympic Committee began collecting old laptops, digital cameras, smartphones, and other abandoned electronics. The initiative(倡议）has achieved great success. Already, the quantity needed for bronze medals has been met, and they're in the homestretch for silver and gold medals, meaning the collection process can pack up at the end of March.
When looking just at the number of cell phones collected, the amount of waste is shocking. In a period of about 18 months, a little over 5 million smartphones were collected thanks to cooperation with NTT DOCOMO. Japan's largest mobile phone operator allowed the public to turn in phones at their shops, which counted a lot in the project’s success.
After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics underwent a smelting process to extract(提炼）all the gold, silver，and bronze elements. Thanks to this initiative, the worldwide struggle with e-waste will have a global platform. According to a study published by the United Nations University—44.7 million metric tons of e-waste were made in 2016. Only 20% of that was actually recycled. Unfortunately, this figure is set to rise significantly in the coming years, moving to 52.2 million metric tons by 2021. So while the Tokyo Olympics initiative might be just a drop in the bucket, it’s a good start in showing what the public can do if they're made more aware of the issue.
1.What can be learnt about Tokyo Olympics initiative from the passage?
A. E-waste in the world is increasing significantly.
B. It is easy to get elements needed from the used electronics.
C. Only producers of electronics participated in the project.
D. NTT DOCOMO contributed to the success of the project.
2.Which can best replace the underlined word “homestretch” in Paragraph 2?
A. starting period B. collection effort
C. final stage D. hard search
3.What influence does the Tokyo Olympics initiative have?
A. It offers an effective method to solve the problem of e-waste.
B. It shows the power of advanced technology in daily life.
C. It saves the expense spent in making all the medals.
D. It encourages the public’s involvement in dealing with e-waste.
4.What is the writer’s attitude to the Tokyo Olympics initiative?
A. Positive B. Negative
C. Ambiguous D. Indifferent

Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you are a thin 14-year-old boy. That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in his eye. "They are paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possession. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family. if you can't trust one another, there is going to be trouble.
1.What can be inferred about the baggage boys?
A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

C. They were all from poor families.
D. They were thin, young boys.

B. Don't believe them if they are paying you more.
C. Don't follow others to overcharge the passengers.
D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
3.The underlined word "it" (in Paragraph 2) refers to______
A. overcharging passengers B. pulling heavy suitcases all day
C. paying passengers money D. working in an honest way
4.The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that _______.
A. it is a total shared experience
B. it is considered as the most dangerous
C. it does great harm to human relationship
D. it may led to the loss of his sports team.
5.It can be concluded from the text that _______.

D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his late life

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
The Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.
One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be“sustainable”—to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.
Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just 1 kilogram of gold.
Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones, digital cameras, hand-held games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.
Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted (熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.
By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around3xkilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.
1.What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?
A.They are hugely valuable.
B.They are of high quality.
C.They are designed uniquely.
D.They are made from e-waste.
2.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The difficulty of making the medals.
B.The process of collecting old electronics.
C.The initiative to recycle used smartphones.
D.The classification of the collected devices.
3.The underlined word “tricky”in Paragraph 5 means“ ”.
A.creative B.well-paid
C.demanding D.time-consuming
4.What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?
A.To advocate sustainable use of resources.
B.To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.
C.To introduce a new technique to make medals.
D.To call people's attention to environmental damage.
