2010年湖北省高三英语经典补课材料（10） Last summer, I traveled to Meixian County with my friends. It is a small county at the foot of Taibai Mount in Shanxi Province. We stayed there for one week and I   16    my vacation because of the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain. I will   17   forget the day when we climbed the main peak. The   18   in that area changes very quickly: it was sunny in the early morning when we set out,   19   it began to rain heavily when we were only halfway up. Soon, we were all   20   and some of us wanted to go home. They said, “There is nothing   21   here. We came to see the scenery,   22   the pouring rain!” However, the guide  23_ , “Since we have got wet already, why not just go on with our journey?” So we carried on up the mountain and,   24    we even noticed, the rain stopped and the sun was smiling again. When we reached the top of the peak, the view was unique (独特的). Up there, it was bright and clear. The sky was   25   and the air was fresh. The gentle wind made us feel cool. All the clouds were just like waves in the ocean,   26   and falling under our feet. We could only see the peaks of mountains, as if they were   27    floating sparsely (稀疏地) in the ocean. It was a really magical experience. While we were enjoying the scene, the guide said  28  , “You see, I knew that there would be no rain above the clouds.” It is  29  . While it may rain below the clouds, the sun is still there above them. You will never see the sun   30   you don’t try your best to climb to the top of the mountain. If we had stopped and gone home when the rain was very heavy, we would never have seen the beautiful scenery   31   the clouds. I think this is also true in   32  . As the song says: “You won’t see the rainbow unless you have gone through the thunder and storm.” I think in the   33  , whenever I have any difficulties in my life, I will remember the   34   from the top of Taibai Mount and the   35   which touched my heart deeply: There is no rain above the clouds.   16.

Whatever you call him, American swimmer Michael Phelps looks destined to become a household name across the world after breaking the Olympic recode for most gold medals in a single Games. Phelps’s total of eight holds in Beijing put him one ahead of compatriot ( a person who was born in the same country as somebody else ) Mark Spitz’s previous tally (奖牌总数)set in 1972. Michael Phelps controlled the field in seven of his races and set an amazing seven world records in the process. He did, however, have one close shave (差一点输掉；死里逃生) in the 100m butterfly which he won by the smallest possible margin of just 0.01 seconds, and in another he had to deal with a faulty pair of glasses for swimming. Now people are already calling him the greatest Olympian of all time. But what is it that makes Michael Phelps so good? A good place to start might be his physique. Phelps has the perfect body shape for a swimmer: his armspan is longer than his height, he has very flexible joints, huge lungs, and his incredibly large feet (size 14 in the US, size 49 in China) act like flippers in the water. To feed his huge swimmer’s body, Phelps eats an astonishing 12,000 calories a day, six times the average for a man of his age. According to his coach, Phelps starts with a breakfast of champions: “Three fried egg sandwiches with cheese, tomatoes, fried onions and mayo, a five-egg omelette, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast and three pancakes with chocolate chips.” He then slips into a swimsuit which has been making waves in the world of swimming. Designed by NASA, the American space agency, the suit is made of a special material which is said to help athletes swim 2% faster. Michael Phelps should be thankful to his mum, who first pushed him into swimming as a way of making friends, and who believed in him when one teacher said he would never be a success. Whatever the reason for his success, Phelps admits there was perhaps also a bit of luck involving in winning his eight medals. “I guess eight is a lucky number for me, too, now. The opening ceremony started on August 8, 2008. Maybe it was meant to be,” he said. 36. Can you find the closet meaning of the underlined phrase “destined to become” in the passage?      A. meant to be     B. pushed…into      C. involved in       D. believed in   37. What is the most important thing that makes Michael Phelps become the flying fish according to the passage? A. His perfect body shape as a swimmer.        B. His good swimsuit. C.
