Unit2 同步检测Ⅰ.阅读理解A(创新题)Usain Bolt says he intends to defend his Olympic 100m and 200m sprint(短跑) titles at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.The Jamaican，who kept both titles as well as the 4×100m in London，said he has decided against switching to either the 400m or long jump.“To do the three sprints，that is the focus.I don’t want to try any different events at Rio，”he said.“I’ll just defend my titl es to show the world there’s a possibility I can do it again.” He insisted he had no intention of easing off in his training.Bolt，who also holds the 100m and 200m world records，said he aimed to run even faster in the year of 2013，during which the World Championships will be held in Moscow.He added.“It’s all about hard work.When I was doing great when I was young，people used to say I was fast for my age，but I have put a lot of work into it since I was a senior athlete.I continue to work hard，continue stayin g focused and pushing myself.I’m sure I can go faster each year.So for me the focus right now is to see how fast I can go.”Bolt became the first man to keep both Olympic sprint titles in a time of 19.32 seconds in the 200m in London in August，with Yohan Blake in silver and Warren Weir in bronze.It came after he had seen off Blake’s challenge to win the 100m in 9.63 seconds，just 0.05 seconds slower than his own world record，in what was a new Olympic best.Speaking after he had completed his second Olympic sprint treble (三连胜)，Bolt had cast doubt on his participation in the events in Rio when he said：“My coach wants me to do 400m，but I want to try long jump.It’s just about making different goals.There are a lot of things I can do in the sport.”【文章大意】博尔特称，他想要在2016年的里约热内卢奥运会上卫冕100米和200米冠军。

B(创新题)Greeting gone wrongMICROSOFT founder Bill Gates，57，has found himself at the center of a cultural row since April 22.It all started with a handshake with South Korea’s President Park Geyn­hye，61，during Gates’visit to the country.Gates has been accused of disrespecting Park after he was pictured shaking hands with her with his left hand in his pocket.“Disrespectful handshake or casual handshake？” asked South Kor ea’s largest newspaper，the Dong­A Ilbo.Similarly，the Joongang Ilbo newspaper asked：“Cultural difference or bad manners？”“Perhaps it was his all­American style，but an open jacket with a hand in his pocket？That was way too casual.It was very regretful，”Chung Jin­suk，secretary general at South Korea’s National Assembly，told ABC Ne w s.In Asian countries，a one­hand shake is very casual，used only when the other party is a good friend，of the same age or younger ing one hand with the other in the pants pocket is considered rude，often an expression of superiority toward the other.This isn’t the first time Gates has broken the country’s social rules.According to AFP，Gates used a similarly casual handshake in 2008 with Park’s predecessor Lee Myung­bak.However，a picture from 2001 showed him giving a two­handed shake to then­president Kim Dae-jung.Some South Korean media have said that it may have been on purpose，showing his political preferences (偏向)—respect for the opposition leader Kim but disrespect for the ruling party leaders Lee and Park.“Gates is a casual man who’s not bound by customs so he shakes hands in this manner even when meeting heads of international organizations or top political figures，”Dong-A Ilbo quoted an unnamed friend of Gates’in Seoul as saying.【文章大意】本文介绍了比尔·盖茨与韩国总统朴槿惠的随意式握手引起的争议。
