2025年高考英语二轮复习考前押题卷：阅读理解 一．阅读理解（共20小题） 1．（2025 贵阳模拟） Three days ahead of his 20th birthday，Pan Zhanle of China produced a swim at the Paris Olympics that catapulted him to Olympic gold and international attention.Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle，his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80，set in February. Born in Wenzhou，Pan is regarded as China's"flying fish".Outstanding fitness earned him a spot in the Wenzhou Youth Swimming School's talent class at the age of four."Once I started swimming，I couldn't stop."Aged 10，Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games. His commitment was such that whereas most swimmers' mistakes or shortcomings would lead coaches to impose （强加） harder training，Pan's coach would instead reduce his training as a form of discipline."I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool，and he would feel really uncomfortable，"Pan's former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media."He just really loves swimming."In 2023，Pan made his move.He broke the Asian record in the men's 100 m freestyle at the Chinese national championships with a time of 47.22，a mark he then beat again at that year's Asian Games in Hangzhou，with 46.97. In 2022，American swimming coach Mark Schubert suggested that Pan switch to the individual medley（个人混合泳比赛），on the basis that Chinese swimmers were unlikely to beat those of other nations as 100 m freestyle specialists.His conclusion seemed to act as a challenge to Pan."I'm rebellious（叛逆的） by nature，"Pan replied to Schubert after Doha，showing him his gold medal."The more others doubt my abilities，the more determined I am to prove them wrong." （1）Why does the author mention the previous record set in February？ 　 　 A.To show the record is extremely hard to break.
