Good morning, everyone!
Today, I'd like to talk about my favourite sports event. Actually, when I used the word
"event", it means two events: the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics. They
were held in Beijing-the first city ever to host both the Summer and the Winter Olympics.
The most recent was the 2022 Winter Olympics. A total of nearly 2,900athletesattended and
competed in 109 events in seven Olympic winter sports. There were many exciting moments.
Nearly the whole world watched the fantastic figure skating and ski jumping competitions. I
watched the freestyle skiing,and like everyone else, I fell in love with those brave and talented
athletes. I also became a huge fan of the mascot, Bing Dwen Dwen.
And we shall not forget the amazing achievements in the 2008 Summer Olympics.I watched
in wonder as Usain Bolt smiled his way across the finish line in the 100metres, setting a new
world record. Then I watched the drama of the shooting event. Du Li won her second Olympic
gold medal, after the first one in 2004. Both were dramatic come-from-behind victories.
Hosting two Olympics brought challenges but also opportunities to Beijing. Both Games
showed China's success in its reform and opening-up on the world stage.China's great achievements
have gained worldwide attention. In both events, many volunteers and citizens helped out. They
worked with pride to make sure that
people from around the world had a pleasant stay.
Events like the Olympic Games build bridges between countries and form friendships between
people. The purpose of the Olympics is to build relationships between people, to celebrate the
Olympic spirit, and to bring people together for peace and harmony. This is shown in both the
motto of the 2008 Olympics, "One World,One Dream", and the motto of the 2022 Olympics,

yours.
Thank you for listening!
课文翻译
各位早上好！
今天，我想和大家聊聊我最喜欢的体育赛事。其实，当我用 “赛事” 这个词时，它指的是两项
活动：2008 年夏季奥运会和 2022 年冬季奥运会。这两项赛事都在北京举办 —— 北京也是有史
以来首个同时举办夏季和冬季奥运会的城市。
最近的一次是 2022 年北京冬奥会。共有近 2900 名运动员参赛，在七个冬季奥运项目的 109
个小项中展开角逐。赛事中涌现出许多令人激动的瞬间，几乎全世界都观看了精彩的花样滑冰和跳
台滑雪比赛。我观看了自由式滑雪项目，和所有人一样，我深深爱上了那些勇敢且天赋异禀的运动
员。我还成了吉祥物冰墩墩的超级粉丝。
我们也不应忘记 2008 年北京夏奥会的辉煌成就。我满怀惊叹地看着尤塞恩・博尔特面带微笑冲
过 100 米终点线，创下新的世界纪录。随后，我又关注了射击项目的戏剧性战况。杜丽在 2004
年首夺奥运金牌后，再次斩获个人第二枚奥运金牌 —— 这两次都是激动人心的逆转胜利。
举办两届奥运会给北京带来了挑战，也带来了机遇。这两届盛会在世界舞台上彰显了中国改革开放
的丰硕成果，中国的巨大成就赢得了全球关注。在两届赛事中，众多志愿者和市民积极参与志愿服
务，他们满怀自豪地投入工作，确保来自世界各地的人们都能拥有愉快的停留体验。
奥运会这类赛事搭建了国家间的沟通桥梁，促成了人与人之间的友谊。奥林匹克运动的宗旨是增
进人与人之间的联系、弘扬奥林匹克精神，并凝聚人们共同追求和平与和谐。2008 年奥运会的口
号 “同一个世界，同一个梦想” 与 2022 年奥运会的口号 “一起向未来”，正是这一宗旨的生
动体现。这些口号深深触动了我的心，我相信它们也同样触动着你们。
谢谢大家的聆听！

3a An Olympic Swimmer Who Nearly Drowned
You may have never heard of my favourite athlete, Eric Moussambani, the first Olympic
swimmer from Equatorial Guinea.
Eric swam in the 100-metre freestyle at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. However,he had just begun
swimming only six months before the games! The only swimming pool for him was a hotel pool
about 13 metres long, and even then he could only use it for an hour every morning. In fact, the
第4 / 17
页 共 页first time he ever saw an Olympic-sized 50-metre swimming pool was at the Olympics.
During his race, he swam well for the first 50 metres, but the last 15 metres of the race were
especially difficult for him. In fact, it looked like he was going to drown! But he tried hard to
finish the race and won loud cheers from the crowd.
Though Eric Moussambani is not an Olympic medal winner, he is still my favourite athlete. He
never gave up no matter how hard it was. With hard work and practice, Eric later became quite
fast at the 100 metres. His time for the100-metre event improved from 1 minute 52 seconds, his
Olympic record, to under 57 seconds! He later became the coach of the national swimming team
for Equatorial Guinea, and he is a true example of the Olympic spirit.

你可能从未听说过我最喜欢的运动员 —埃里克・穆桑巴尼，他是赤道几内亚首位奥运游泳选
手。
埃里克参加了 2000 年悉尼奥运会的 100 米自由泳比赛。然而，他在赛前仅仅开始学习游泳六
个月！他唯一能用来训练的泳池，是一个约 13 米长的酒店泳池，即便如此，他每天也只能在早上
使用一小时。事实上，他人生中第一次见到奥运标准的 50 米泳池，就是在这届奥运会上。
比赛中，他前 50 米游得还算顺利，但最后 15 米对他来说格外艰难。实际上，他当时看起来几
乎要溺水了！但他拼尽全力完成了比赛，赢得了观众们热烈的欢呼。
尽管埃里克・穆桑巴尼并非奥运奖牌得主，他依然是我最喜欢的运动员。无论处境多么艰难，他
从未放弃。凭借不懈的努力和训练，埃里克后来的 100 米游泳速度大幅提升 —— 他的 100 米
成绩从奥运时 1 分 52 秒的记录，提升到了 57 秒以内！之后，他成为了赤道几内亚国家游泳队的
教练，堪称奥林匹克精神的真正典范。

Working Out through Online Videos
Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is
becoming very popular. Since the Internet is used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out
anytime anywhere.
One of my friends, Lin Fei, followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I
feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute.” she said. Another
friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out
at the gym (健身房) because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out
much more enjoyable.” he said.
With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a P.E. teacher, she
reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.
第13 / 17
页 共 页“Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out at your best.
Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder” my sister said to me.
“Well, if you really want to have a try. First, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then
ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good insight into what you can expect. Anyway,
don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.”
Following her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized help that is
held for three months. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful when I put in the right
amount (量) of work along with a strong will. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work
out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy
to stick to it.
1．Which way to work out is becoming very popular today?
2．Why does Michael dislike working out at the gym?
3．What is the problem of working out without someone else in person?
4．How did the writer feel about his first period of training?
5．Would you like to follow online videos to work out? Why or why not?

八、阅读理解
Is there a Pastry (甜点) World Cup? Yes, there is! The Pastry World Cup is a fun competition where the
best pastry chefs (厨师) show their amazing pastry skills. The competition takes place every two years. Teams
from all over the world join. The pastry chefs make special desserts like frozen treats, fancy dishes, and chocolate
sculptures (雕塑).
This year, the Pastry World Cup was in Lyon, France. However, France was beaten to the crown of the
2025 Pastry World Cup by Japan! It defended (捍卫) its title at the competition over the weekend, despite the
French home crowd.
Japan won first place! Their desserts were inspired by Japanese traditions. They used special ingredients
(原料) like Kiyomi orange and rice wafers (薄饼). One dessert looked like a spinning (旋转的) top toy, and
another looked like a pretty leaf! The second-place team was France, and Malaysia came third.
As you can imagine, making so much food is not a piece of cake — it’s a very difficult and tiring
competition. And it took place on the sidelines of the SIRHA Food Exhibition. The stands were full of fans who
were waving flags and shouting their teams’ names.
Each team which included a chocolatier, a sugar expert and an ice master was challenged with making a
frozen dessert, a restaurant dessert, an ice sculpture and a beautiful display of sugar and chocolate
centerpieces (中心装饰品). They show great respect to their home country in their desserts’ taste and appearance.
