Diana Nyad, born in 1949, is one of the world's greatest long-distance swimmers. She started as a speed swimmer, winning races in high school and dreaming of the Olympics. However, Nyad fell ill with heart disease before she could compete in the 1968 Olympic Games and had to spend three months in bed. By the time Nyad was better, she was unable to swim as fast as she had previously.
Nyad then turned from speed swimming to distance swimming. Her first race was 10 miles in the cold waters of Lake Ontario. Even though she came in tenth place, she was the first woman ever to complete the course. In 1974, Nyad set a record while swimming a 22-mile race in the Bay of Naples, Italy. That same year she tried to swim back and forth across Lake Ontario, a total of 64 miles. Nyad made it across the lake, but on the return trip, she lost consciousness and had to be pulled from the water. In 1975, she swam around Manhattan Island, a distance of 28 miles, in a record of 7 hours and 57 minutes. Three years later she swam 102 miles from the Bahamas to Florida.
In 2010, at the age of 61, Nyad announced she would swim from Cuba to Florida. In order to train, Nyad spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean. The swim from Cuba to Florida would last at least 60 hours and cover 103 miles. Unfortunately, bad weather forced Nyad to wait until the next year. In 2011, Nyad attempted the swim but was blown off course after being in the water for 29 hours. Nyad attempted the swim again a few months later, but she had to stop because of too many jellyfish stings (海蜇蜇伤）.
Despite these setbacks, Nyad continues to preserve and plans to eventually make the Cuba-to-Florida swim. She has made a vow (誓言）to never stop swimming and wants other older Americans to understand that it is never too late to make one's dreams come true.
【1】What made Nyad fail to participate in the 1968 Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words)
【2】What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words)
【3】How did Nyad make preparations for her swimming from Cuba to Florida? (No more than 15 words)
【4】What does the underlined word “setbacks” in the last paragraph mean? (Only 1 word)
【5】What inspiration do you learn from Nyad’s stories and experiences? (No more than 25 words)
【答案】
【1】Falling ill with heart disease.
【2】The achievements /successes that Nyad achieved. Or: Nyad’s experiences of attending races.
【3】She spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean. Or: By spending as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean.
【4】Difficulties/Challenges /Barriers/Obstacles/Bars/Problems.
【5】It is never too late to make one's dreams come true. Or: We should stick to our dream, never give up and try hard to realize it whatever difficulties or setbacks we meet.
【解析】

）”，可知Nyad患了心脏病。

故答案为Falling ill with heart disease.
【2】
主旨大意题。

由第二段中的“Even though she came in tenth place, she was the first woman ever to complete the course.”（尽管她得了第十名，
但她是第一个完成这场比赛的女性。

），“In 1974, Nyad set a record while swimming a 22-mile race in the Bay of Naples, Italy. That same year she tried to swim back and forth across Lake Ontario, a total of 64 miles.”（1974年，Nyad在意大利那不勒斯湾游泳时创下了22英里的纪录。

同年，她试图来回游过安大略湖，总共64英里。

）和“In 1975, she swam around Manhattan Island, a distance of 28 miles, in a record of 7 hours and 57 minutes. Three years later she swam 102 miles from the Bahamas to Florida.”（1975年，她在曼哈顿岛游了28英里，创下了7小时57分钟的纪录。

三年后，她从巴哈马群岛游到佛罗里达州102英里。

），可知本段主要讲Nyad取得的成就或Nyad参加比赛的经历。

故答案为The achievements /successes that Nyad achieved. Or: Nyad’s experiences of attending races.
【3】
细节理解题。

由第三段中的“In 2010, at the age of 61, Nyad announced she would swim from Cuba to Florida. In order to train, Nyad spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean.”（2010年，61岁的Nyad 宣布她将从古巴游到佛罗里达州。

为了训练，Nyad每天花14个小时在海里游泳。

），可知为了准备从古巴游到佛罗里达，Nyad每天花14个小时在海里游泳。

故答案为She spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean. Or: By spending as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean.
【4】
词义猜测题。

由第三段中的“The swim from Cuba to Florida would last at least 60 hours and cover 103 miles. Unfortunately, bad weather forced Nyad to wait until the next year.”（从古巴到佛罗里达的游泳至少要持续60小时，全程103英里。

不幸的是，恶劣的天气迫使Nyad等到第二年。

）及“Nyad attempted the swim again a few months later, but she had to stop because of too many jellyfish stings (海蜇蜇伤）.”（几个月后，Nyad再次尝试游泳，但由于水母蜇伤太多，她不得不停止游泳。

），和第四段中的“Nyad continues to preserve and plans to eventually make the Cuba-to-Florida swim. She has made a vow (誓言）to never stop swimming and wants other older Americans to understand that it is never too late to make one's dreams come true.”（Nyad继续保存并计划最终让古巴游到佛罗里达。

她发誓永不停止游泳，并希望其他美国老年人明白，实现梦想永远不会太晚。

），可知Nyad两次尝试从古巴至弗罗里达州的长距离游泳均因客观因素导致失败，虽然有挫折/困难，但她立誓不会放弃游泳，可知setbacks在此处意为“困难/挑战/障碍/问题”。

故答案为Difficulties/Challenges /Barriers/Obstacles/Bars/Problems.
【5】
开放式答题。

考生可紧抓文章中心大意“美国长距离游泳运动员Diana Nyad面对挫折永不放弃，认为实现梦想永远不会太晚”，适当总结从文章中学到的道理，言之有理即可。

故答案为It is never too late to make one's dreams come true. Or: We should stick to our dream, never
give up and try hard to realize it whatever difficulties or setbacks we meet.
