限时标准训练(六)　阅读理解——推理判断题
(限时：20分钟)
A
When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked (呱呱叫). It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.
“Hello？〞 she called. “Celia? Marie？〞
There was no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island〞 because only they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily wooded side stream of the river, was a secret among the three friends—Celia, Marie, and her.
But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
“Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat，〞 Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill (寒意) down her back.
Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Celia, Marie, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing water. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.

I grew up in an age when I had to wait for almost everything. Classic movies were shown on television. And, of course, one had to be home at the appointed time to watch them. “The Wizard of Oz〞， for example, was broadcast only once a year. The steadily heightening sense of expectation as the broadcast date approached was almost too much for my 10­year­old heart to bear.
And then there was money. The banks did business on weekdays only. They opened at 9 and closed at 4. You needed money but didn't make it to the bank on time? Well, check under the sofa cushions or borrow from family or friends.
Such was the world as recently as the 1970s. Everything seemed to operate on a strict clock, and the words “on demand〞 had no meaning. This was the way things worked, and it was all we knew.
And then, seemingly overnight, everything changed. It suddenly seemed as if I never had to be anywhere at an appointed time, because everything was available all the time. The changed times, on the other hand, have encouraged nothing less than a constant sense of urgency, which is ironic (挖苦性的): If we can have anything we want anytime we want it, shouldn't we be less hurried? The answer is that an “on demand〞 lifestyle has created an appetite for speed: If I can have something this fast, why can't I have it faster? Recently I read a book that has “FSTR〞 (get it？) written across its cover. One of its metaphors (隐喻) was telling: First there was the fresh­squeezed lemon; then there was the lemonade mix; now we just buy the lemonade by the gallon (加仑)．
And so, on this hot day, I went to the supermarket and bought three fresh lemons. I squeezed them into a tall glass. Then I filled the glass with cold water, ice, and a teaspoon of sugar. Fresh lemonade in hand, I went outside, sat in my lawn chair, and looked out over the river.
Yes, time passes quickly. But, now and then, it doesn't have to.

Markus Rehm can leap much farther than the length of your family car. He's a world champion long jumper. But he only has one leg. He wears a prosthesis (假肢) in place of his missing leg. You'd think that a missing leg would cause problems—especially for an athlete. But the prosthesis Rehm wears is specially designed to propel (促使) him forward. It's a lightweight metal blade (片状物)．
At a 2023 competition for athletes with disabilities, he sailed 27.6 feet (8.4 m). That distance would have beaten the non­disabled gold medalists at the 2023 and 2023 Summer Olympics. Rehm wanted to compete in the 2023 Summer Olympics. But some thought his blade leg gave him an unfair advantage. And he couldn't prove that it didn't.
Researchers have conducted tests on the benefits of blade­shaped legs when it comes to running and jumping. The main benefit of a blade leg is that it weighs much less than a typical leg and foot. That means an athlete can move the leg more quickly. However, a blade leg also has drawbacks. A real leg has many muscles and joints (肌肉和关节) that all act independently. A runner can reposition all of these parts as needed to make each stride (跨步) more efficient. A prosthesis, though, “is an entirely passive system，〞 said David Morgenroth of the University of Washington. “That could be a disadvantage when you're trying to get up to speed as a runner.〞
Over time, though, engineers will continue to improve blade legs. They may eventually offer as much or more efficiency compared to a real leg. What does Rehm think of all this? He just wants to do his best. “I always said I want a fair competition，〞 he told World Para Athletics. “I don't want to have any advantage out of a prosthesis. I just want to do what I love and train really hard to achieve outstanding performances. I don't want to say sorry for it.〞
What do you think? Should athletes with blade legs compete alongside non­disabled athletes?
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。假肢在一定程度上给了残疾运发动更多优势吗？
9．What do we know about Rehm's prosthesis?
A．It is heavy in weight.
B．It looks like a real leg.
C．It enables him to jump.
D．It is uncomfortable to wear.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But the prosthesis Rehm wears is specially designed to propel him forward.〞可知，借由假肢，Rehm得以完成跳跃运动。
答案：C
10．Why didn't Rehm compete in the 2023 Summer Olympics?
A．His athletic ability was said to be unnatural.
B．He didn't receive proper training.
C．His disability was too severe.
D．He didn't sign up for it.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But some thought his blade leg gave him an unfair advantage.〞可知，有人认为Rehm的假肢给了他一些优势，而这对于其他正常的比赛选手不公平，因此他无法参加2023年的夏季奥运会。
答案：A
11．What can be learned about a blade leg according to the test results?
A．It may limit a runner's speed.
B．It may prevent a runner getting up easily.
C．It can make a runner's each stride longer.
D．It can help a runner reposition his or her muscles better.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That could be a disadvantage when you're trying to get up to speed as a runner.〞可知，研究人员的测试结果说明，假肢会对残疾赛跑选手的速度有影响。
答案：A
12．What is Rehm's attitude to blade leg technology?
A．Opposing. B．Positive.
C．Cautious. D．Uncaring.
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“What does Rehm think of all this? He just wants to do his best.〞可知，Rehm并不在意假肢科技开展得如何超前，他只想在运动中做到最好。
答案：D
