When Michael Phelps announced his retirement at the 2016 Rio Olympics he really had no intention of swimming competitively again. However, that changed when the athlete was approached by the Discovery Channel to help kick off Shark Week with a race against one of the world’s fastest and most efficient an imals ––a
great white shark!
To prepare for the big event, Phelps, who has set 3339 world records and won 28 Olympic medals, practiced by racing against a reef and a hammerhead shark ––both computer generated(电脑生成), of course. While the swimmer’s time of 18.7 seconds was enough to beat the reef shark by 0.2 seconds, he fell behind the hammerhead, which completed the 50-meter distance in 15.1 seconds.
On Sunday, July 23 at 7:00 p.m., over five million viewers tuned in to the highly anticipated Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White. To complete effectively against the fierce fish that can swim at speeds of up to 25 mph, or about times faster than humans, Phelps wore a custom wetsuit. It was designed to reduce drag.
While television viewers saw the competitors swimming side by side, in reality, Phelps raced by himself in the cold Atlantic waters off Cape Town, South Africa. The Discovery Channel film crew then inserted his computer generated opponent simulating(模拟) a real shark’s speed.
Though Phelps managed to complete the distance in an impressive 38.1 seconds, 9.41 seconds faster than his personal best of 47.51 seconds, he was no match for the great shark. Like a true champion, the fish celebrated the victory by leaping out of water.
While some fans were disappointed that Phelps did not race a live shark in the ocean, staging that would have been dangerous for the swimmer. Besides, Discovery Channel’s aim in organizing the stunt was to generate excitement and interest in sharks. Given that it was the highest-rated Shark Week special in the program’s 29-year history, they sure succeeded.
24. Why was Michael Phelps approached by the Discovery Channel?
A. To play a role in a film.
B. To help capture a shark.
C. To help start Shark Week.
D. To perform with animals.
25. What do you learn about Michael Phelps?
A. He has won 28 Olympic medals.
B. He has broken 39 world records.
C. He raced a live shark in the ocean.
D. He had retired by the Rio Olympics.
26. What can we infer about the custom wetsuit?
A. It can help Michael Phelps keep warm.
B. It can help TV viewers see more clearly.
C. It was worn by Phelps at the Rio Olympics.
D. It can help Michael Phelps swim faster.
27. How much time did it take the shark to complete the distance?
A. 9.41 seconds.
B. 36.1 seconds
C. 38.1 seconds.
D. 47.51 seconds.
C
The word malnourishment(营养不良) often reminds us of images of natural disasters, droughts and children with swollen bellies. But malnourishment is not just a lack of food. It can also be caused by not having enough vitamins, minerals, and protein. The absence of these key nutrients(营养品) has severe effects on the body. For example, lack of protein causes slow growth in children and decreased immunity. Not enough vitamin A in the diet causes blindness. Iron deficiency causes anaemia—a lack of red blood cells—that makes people feel tired and sleepy.
