参考解析

1. 考查形容词。句意：上个月，他也打破了户外世界纪录。根据上文可知，杜普兰蒂斯早在今年2月就已经打破了自己的室内撑竿跳世界纪录，所以后句说他也打破了户外世界纪录。outdoor为形容词修饰名词record。 故填C。

2. 考查名词。句意：在罗马举行的钻石联赛上，他的第二次尝试跳过了6.15米，打破了谢尔盖·布布卡1994年7月创下的6.14米纪录。根据句意可知，他的第二次尝试跳过了6.15米。his cond后接名词attempt。故填G。

3. 考查名词。句意：杜普兰蒂斯在打破纪录后告诉记者，“我想我现在还在云端”。根据上文 “I hit the mat but I haven’t really fallen back to earth”可知杜普兰蒂斯对记者所说内容。故填A。

4. 考查名词。句意：绰号“蒙多”，杜普兰蒂斯被认为是下一个博尔特，因为他有点燃这项运动的潜力。his后接名词作宾语。故填F。

5. 考查形容词。句意：事实上，自2019年多哈世界田径锦标赛以来，他一直保持不败。remain后接形容词作表语，unbeaten 意为“未败过的”符合句意。故填K。

6. 考查名词。句意：杜普兰蒂斯的父亲是美国撑杆跳运动员，母亲是瑞典运动员。他从小就在自家后院的撑杆跳场地长大，从中受益匪浅。根据“Born to an American pole vaulter

father and a Swedish athlete mother”以及“growing up with a pole vault pit in his own back

garden”可知，杜普兰蒂斯在自家的后院里，有一个撑杆跳的场地，这让他受益匪浅。had

the ____ of，此处缺名词作宾语。故填H。

7. 考查时态和动词。句意：2019年夏天，他赢得他作为成年人的第一枚全球奖牌，该奖牌为一枚银牌。根据In summer 2019这一时间点可知，本句为一般过去时，且本空缺动词作为谓语。故填B。

【Annie’s Tips: 此处的claim的含义为“to gain, win or achieve sth”，即“获得；赢得”而非“宣称”。举个例子：She has finally claimed a place on the team. 她终于成了那支队伍的一员。】

8. 考查名词。句意：考虑到他的一系列成就，杜普兰蒂斯能够打破这一26年的纪录也就不足为奇了。a string of 意为“一连串……”。故填E。

9. 考查名词。句意：现在最紧迫的问题是他是否能继续达到新的高度。根据上文“杜普兰蒂斯能够打破26年的纪录也就不足为奇了”，所以现在最紧迫的问题是他是否能继续达到新的高度。reach后接名词heights作宾语。故填J。

10. 考查名词。句意：我一直试图不给自己设限。根据“There are endless possibilities. ”可知，此处应是说他一直试图不给自己设限。put a limit on意为“在…上设限”。故填I。

【Annie’s Tips: 这道题附近有一句he will be a favourite to win gold，这里的favourite是名词用法，意为“(比赛/竞赛中)最有希望的获胜者”，大家自己做小猫钓鱼时要格外注意

这种卧底词噢！
