Many of us have heard of the saying:everything is possible if you can just believe.But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance.South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.

Du Toit,24,became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会)in Beijing.Although she finished the 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the able-bodied games,she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.

One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time,Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001,at just 17.

“There are a lot of dark moments,”du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry.But I try to remember that better days are ahead.I just go on.”

Within a few months,she was back in the swimming pool.

She still competes and still succeeds.The only difference is that she has switched to longer events—from 200 m and 400 m individual medley(混合泳) to 800 m and 1,500 m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg.But she makes no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌).

“Going out in the water,it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me.It doesn’t matter if you look different.You’re still the same as everybody else because you

起脚便是长安道，西风瘦马伴君行

have the same dream.”

She is the owner of many world records,and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1,500 m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.

But there is no magic recipe for success.It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn,which is good and bad,”said her coach Karoly Von Toros.“Good for the swimming,but bad for the coach.”

There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:

Thetragedyoflifedoesnotlieinnotreachingyourgoals; Thetragedyoflifeliesinnothavinggoalstoreachfor.

5Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that . A.you are what you believe B.your biggest enemy is yourself

C.results are not so important as the process D.you must set reasonable goals or you will fail

解析推理判断题。本文第一句话就是全文的主题句,娜塔莉·杜·图伊托的事例正是说明了这一点。 答案A 6What’s the meaning of the underlined word “embodies” in the first paragraph? A.Makes. B.Creates. C.Represents. D.Introduces.

解析词义猜测题。根据文意可知,embody应为“表现,体现”之意,故选C项。 答案C 7According to the passage,Natalie du Toit became .

A.the first athlete to compete with able-bodied swimmers in the world

B.the youngest disabled swimmer to break the world record in the 1,500 m freestyle C.the youngest disabled swimmer to collect three golds in a single Paralympics D.the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics

解析细节理解题。由第三段可知主人公在2001年因车祸失去了一条腿,之后她转向对速度要求相对较低的长途游泳赛。由第八段可知a发生在2007年,第二段中提到她在24岁时(2008年)获得了奥运会10千米马拉松比赛第16名。由此可知C项正确。 答案C
