四川苍溪县2017高考英语（一轮）阅读理解编练 2017高考模拟题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Who won China’s first gold medal at the 2017 Sochi Winter Olympics? It was Li Jianrou. The 27-year-old finished first in the women’s 500m short track speed skating on Feb 13. The race was full of drama. Three athletes fell over because of an accident caused by Elise Christie of Britain in the second turn and Li became the surprise winner. Three-time defending champion Wang Meng of China missed the Olympics after breaking her ankle last month. Li had little experience in the race, where getting off to a quick Start is important. But she kept her cool while everyone else was falling around her. “I feel very lucky,” Li said through a translator. She and one of her coaches cried tears of joy after China joined South Korea as the only countries to win the same short track event four Olympics in a row. The Koreans won the 3,000 relay in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006. “I cried because I was so excited,” Li said. “My coach told me this medal is for Wang Meng as well, so I felt very moved.” Li’s victory made up for the surprising fall of teammate Fan Kexin in the semifinals. In the semis, Fan didn’t even complete the first lap of the race, catching her left blade（冰刀）as she skated near the front. She crashed on all fours into the crew of workers who maintain the ice between races. They climbed onto the top of the pads to avoid being injured by Fan’s long, sharp blades. |
