In the competition of Olympic weightlifting,the athletes try to lift the maximum weight they can.There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete:body weight,height and strength.
The Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength.There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple:they are short of explosive strength.
The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilograms.The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general,but it is set depending on the event.Usually the athlete with the lowest weight begins.If he/she is not successful,he/she can try later.There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.
For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men.However,now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting.It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions entered an organized professional environment.For women,Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure.However,strength training techniques are widely and successfully used by women,too.
Lots of the athletes who’ve ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power.However,the demarcation line (界线) is not still very clear between power training and Olympic weightlifting.This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition,even if their purpose was different at the beginning.

As early as 1894,the newly-formed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.
In 1911,a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki.Some opposed the idea.At last,the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916.However,World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.After 1920,the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.
The town of Chamonix,in the French Alps,planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924,at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.The Marquis de Polignac,a member of the IOC,suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games.The IOC didn’t go that far,but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic Winter Carnival”.
The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding(雪橇车比赛),figure skating,hockey,Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal,in the 500-meter speed skating,but the festival’s hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland.He won five medals,three of which were gold,in speed skating.
Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics,and so it was at Chamonix.The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud.Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.
Despite the weather,more than 10,000 people showed up.At its yearly meeting in 1925,the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Olympic Games would be held every four years,just like the Summer Olympics.
5.Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916
A.Because the IOC didn’t agree to it.
B.Because it was still under discussion.
C.Because some people opposed the idea.
D.Because World War Ⅰ broke out in 1914.
6.How many years earlier was the first modern Olympic Games held than the first Winter Olympic Games
A.16. B.24.
C.28. D.29.
7.What can we learn from the passage
A.The weather destroyed the first Winter Olympics.
B.People from 16 countries watched the first Winter Olympics.
C.Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter Olympics.
D.Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics.
8.What’s the best title for the passage
A.The Development of the Olympics
B.The Importance of Weather in the Olympics
C.The Story of the First Winter Olympic Games
D.How Did the Winter Olympics Come into Being

1.E　根据文章第一段第一句“Life is a struggle,but if you have a bad relationship with your mother,you should cool your passion,because mother-children relationships are very important.”可知,生活是一场斗争,但是如果你和母亲的关系不好,你应该冷静下来,因为母子关系非常重要。E项“这儿就有一些方法将帮助你避免与你的母亲发生争执。”承上启下。some ways呼应下文的各个小标题。故选E项。
2.D　根据文章第二段第一句“If you think that the silent treatment will always help you achieve a desirable result,then you’re mistaken.”,再结合后文“By all means,you should take immediate action to stop this cold war.”可知,设空处指出冷战的缺点。D项“当然,你的母亲也会拒绝与你交流。”符合文意。故选D项。
3.G　根据文章第三段中“Although you’ll apologize for your bad behavior,the words you’ve expressed and the feeling of hate will live in her heart forever.” 可知,吵架时说的粗鲁的话会使亲人受到伤害。与G项“有时候你的话可能是很好的疼痛缓解器或者是可怕的武器。”逻辑一致,a terrible sharp sword呼应“the words you’ve expressed and the feeling of hate will live in her heart forever”。故选G项。
4.F　第四段第一句“Say that you have a terrible habit of drawing your brother and dad into conflict between you and your mother.”与F项“你想让他们支持和帮助你找到有利双方的解决办法。”语义衔接,且F项中“them”指代的是上文的“brother and dad”,符合文意。故选F项。
5.B　根据文章第五段第一句“Lack of communication between mothers and children can create emotional obstacles and even cause frequent quarrels.”可知,B项“增强你们之间的沟通”对本段的概括最为准确,且B项中的“communication”与下文communication呼应。故选B项。
