They are the world’s fittest people. But even Olympic athletes have had their share of difficult, heart-breaking
or embarrassing moments.
1904 Olympics, St Louis, USA
American Fred Lorz crossed the finish line of the Olympic marathon with a time of 3 hours and 13 minutes.
He had beaten the second runner by 15 minutes. Lorz looked happy and fresh, and smiled for the photographers.
Just before they gave him the gold medal, the race officials arrived and took away the medal, and Lorz was banned
from races for a year. Then an official told the truth. He had travelled by car for 11 miles of the marathon!
1908 Olympics, London, England
The Italian Dorando Pietri was one of the unluckiest marathon runners. When he arrived in the stadium, he
was very tired. The people were cheering, but Pietri couldn’t continue. He fell down and got up again four times.
Finally, around seven metres from the finish line, he fell down again and didn’t move. Worried officials ran over
and picked him up. He crossed the finish line and won the gold medal. But a few hours later the Olympic officials
had to take it away from him again. They said he couldn’t be the winner because Olympic officials had helped him
cross the line.
2000 Olympics, Sydney, Australia
Eric Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea became one of the most loved athletes of the 2000 games. His race
was the 100-metre freestyle swim. He jumped into the pool and started swimming. After the first 50 metres he was
very tired. He went more and more slowly and almost stopped in the middle of the pool. The officials worried that
he was drowning. But Moussambani continued and finished the race with a time of 1 minute and 52 seconds, the
slowest in the history of the Olympics. Still, Moussambani was happy. He had never swum in a pool of that size
before.

officials arrived and took away the medal, and Lorz was banned from races for a year. Then an official told the
truth. He had travelled by car for 11 miles of the marathon!(就在他们给他金牌之前，比赛官员来了，拿走了奖
牌，洛尔兹被禁止参加比赛一年。然后一位官员说出了真相。他开车跑了 11 英里的马拉松!)” 可知 Lorz
的金牌被剥夺是因为他违反了规定，故选 A。

“He crossed the finish line and won the gold
medal. But a few hours later the Olympic officials had to take it away from him again. They said he couldn’t be the

奥运会官员不得不再次把它拿走。他们说他不可能获胜，因为奥林匹克官员帮助他越过了终点线。)”可知
Pietri 在1908 年奥运会冲过终点线时得到了帮助，故选 D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据 2000 Olympics, Sydney, Australia 中的“After the first 50 metres he was very tired. He went
more and more slowly and almost stopped in the middle of the pool. The officials worried that he was drowning.
But Moussambani continued and finished the race with a time of 1 minute and 52 seconds, the slowest in the
history of the Olympics.(跑完前 50 米后，他很累。他走得越来越慢，几乎停在了水潭中央。官员们担心他
要淹死了。但穆萨巴尼坚持了下来，并以 1分52 秒的成绩完成了比赛，这是奥运会历史上最慢的成
绩。)” 可知 Moussambani 坚持完成了比赛，故推测人们非常钦佩他，故选 B。
B
Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination,
and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if
competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael
Edwards, better known as Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, and his reaching that goal was an amazing achievement.
Born in the U.K. in 1963, Edwards was a passionate downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in
world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there
were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn’t qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he
switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn’t cost as much as downhill skiing, and there was almost no competition
for a place on the British team.
But a number of hurdles could have meant the end of Edwards’ dream. He weighed more than most
competitors. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his
goggles (护目镜) — not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn’t let any of these
discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning
wasn’t the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.
In the end, Edwards took 55th place at the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary
Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this
result, but he is proud of his achievements to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a
global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.
4. Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?
A. The equipment was cheaper. B. There was little competition.
C. It took fewer skills. D. It was easy to win the championship.
5. What does the underlined word “hurdles” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Doubts. B. Changes.
C. Options. D. Obstacles.
6. What made Michael Edwards outstanding?
A. His determination to win.
B. His attitude towards the Olympics.
C. His passion for the sport.
D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.
