分析 在1949年出生,戴安娜Nyad把游泳作为一种运动和早期的兴趣,是佛罗里达州高中游泳冠军.和许多年轻运动员一样,她有奥运梦想,但一个严重的疾病使她不参加奥运会比赛.失望并没有阻止她前进.相反,她开始对马拉松感兴趣.做为一个出色的运动员,她有良好的条件在水中呆很长的时间.作为一个长距离的游泳运动员,她将与自己和由距离,危险,寒冷和疲劳带来的障碍进行竞争.
十年来,Nyad致力于成为世界上最好的长距离游泳运动员的一员.1970年,她在安大略湖中游了一次里程10英里的马拉松比赛,创立了该比赛的女子纪录.在1972,她创造了另一个记录,102.5英里-----从一个在巴哈马海岸的岛到佛罗里达州的海岸.接下来,她又打破了第三个记录-----在1975年环游曼哈顿岛.
在1978年,Nyad尝试在佛罗里达州和古巴之间游泳.虽然水的跨度不到100英里宽,但海水汹涌和路程危险.在与水搏斗了2天之后,她为了自己的健康和安全而放弃了.即使如此,她用她的勇气和强烈成功的愿望给世界留下了深刻的印象.对Nyad来说,她意志的力量和为到达古巴一样重要.这就是她对成功的解释.她游得长短这并不重要,她相信她已经碰了对岸.
当她作为一个游泳运动员结束她的职业生涯时,她还在不断尝试新的东西-----作为一个记者环游世界,从而写了很多书和给公众做了有关于她的生活的演讲.戴安娜Nyad努力工作去鼓舞他人,就像她游过世界上的水域而做的那样.
解答 56.A serious illness (did).细节理解题.根据第一段中的but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games这句话可知一个严重的疾病使她不参加奥运会比赛.
57.Difficulties/Problems/Troubles/Challenges.词义推断题.根据第一段中下划线单词后面的"distance,danger,cold,and exhaustion"和前面的"compete against"可知推知obstacles的意思是在与自己和困难、挑战、麻烦或问题作斗争.
58.She swam a ten-mile marathon and set women's record.
Or:She swam a ten-mile marathon,setting the women's record.
Or:She set the women's record for a ten-mile marathon swimming.细节理解题.根据第二段中的"In 1970,she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario,setting the women's record for the course."可知1970年,她在安大略湖中游了一次里程10英里的马拉松比赛,创立了该比赛的女子纪录.
59.Because she had tried her best (to fulfill the task).
Or:Her strength of purpose was as important as reaching Cuba.细节理解题.根据第三段中的"For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba."可知对Nyad来说,她意志的力量和为到达古巴一样重要.
60.I am encouraged by her determination and strong will.
Or:I am inspired by her courage and strong desire to succeed.
Or:From her I learned that once we set a goal,we should try hard to achieve it.
Or:We should never give up in the face of difficulty/failure.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons --- for example, economic reasons --- why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
1.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. Some of them are not attractive.
2.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means“_______”
A. Destroy old buildings
B. Choose new architectural styles
C. Put things in a different place
D. Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
3.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
