[解析]
(1)细节理解题。根据第二段中He fell three times,crashing early in the race and breaking his ski. (他摔倒了三次,在比赛开始不久就摔坏了滑雪板。)可知,在这场半决赛中,Gafarov的滑雪板在比赛开始的时候就摔坏了。故选D项。
(2)推理判断题。根据第三段中Wadsworth所说的话We help because we know everyone works so hard in our sport (我们提供帮助是因为我们知道在这项运动中每个人都很努力)可知,作为一名曾经的运动员,Wadsworth知道滑雪运动员都非常努力,明白Gafarov为比赛付出了什么代价。因此B.He knew what price Gafarov paid for the competition.(他知道Gafarov为这场比赛付出了什么代价。)符合题意。故选B项。
(3)推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中he decided to continue fighting for the finals despite all the difficulties (尽管困难重重,他还是决定继续为决赛而战)和最后一段Gafarov believed the race should be finished in any way possible. "It was a matter of principle to hold on to the end," he added.He is not devastated (毁灭) by his failure and is eager to take part in the next Winter Olympics despite back problems due to injuries. (Gafarov认为这场比赛应该以任何可能的方式结束。"坚持到底是一个原则问题,"他补充说。他并没有因为失败而崩溃,尽管背部受伤,他还是渴望参加下一届冬奥会。)可知,虽然困难重重,但是Gafarov依然坚持到底,完成半决赛,并且决定为决赛而战,而且他期待着下一届冬奥会。由此可知,他是一个坚毅的人,Gafarov会同意C项"面对困难决不放弃"的观点。故选C项。
(4)标题归纳题。通读全文,并结合第一段The true Olympic spirit has been displayed by Canadian cross﹣country ski coach Justin Wadsworth,who helped Russian athlete Anton Gafarov with his broken ski during the Men's Sprint Free Semifinals. (加拿大越野滑雪教练Justin Wadsworth展现了真正的奥林匹克精神,他在越野滑雪男子个人短距离自由技术半决赛中帮助了摔断了滑雪板的俄罗斯运动员Anton Gafarov。)可知,文章主要讲述了加拿大滑雪教练Wadsworth在比赛中为摔断了滑雪板的俄罗斯滑雪选手Gafarov提供帮助,让他有尊严地滑到终点,而Gafarov自己也坚持到底完成比赛的故事。因此,A.The Olympic Spirit"奥林匹克精神"符合文章大意,最适合作为标题。故选A项。
