（时文阅读）On August 4, 2024 in Paris, the United States' unbeaten run in the men's 4×100 metres medley ended at the Paris Olympics as China won.
With lots of excited cheers, the 100m freestyle world record holder Pan Zhanle brought China with an outrageous swim as he, Xu Jiayu, Qin Haiyang and Sun Jiajun won in a time of 3 minutes, 27. 46 seconds.
Caleb Dressel and the Americans took silver, while a Leon Marchand - powered France got the bronze, finishing nearly a second behind.
“Today China was just a little bit better. I think all of us going in, we're putting a lot of pressure on ourselves to be great out there . . . So hats off to China, they did a great race tonight,” American Ryan Murphy told reporters.
Pan took enormous credit(功不可没) for defeating them as he celebrated his 20th birthday in style, swimming fast to the wall in 45. 92 seconds.
“That was a monster split for Pan . . . so that's a pretty cool birthday present,” Hunter Armstrong said. “This is my first time anchoring a relay for Team USA and it carries a bit of pressure, but we each just get in and we do the best we can.”
Qin, who swam the breaststroke leg, was also important with a sizzling(激情迸发的) time of 57. 98 seconds to upstage France's four - gold hero Marchand.

中国队在巴黎奥运会男子4×100米混合泳接力赛中历史性夺金，潘展乐、徐嘉余、覃海洋和孙佳俊四人合力以3分27秒46的惊人成绩终结了美国在此项目的垄断纪录。文中还谈论了外国选手们对中国队夺冠的看法和感想。
1. C 词义猜测题。根据句意理解可知，潘展乐以一场令人惊叹的游泳大获全胜，此处形容词outrageous是“令人惊叹的”的意思，跟形容词amazing的意思相接近。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Caeleb Dressel and the Americans took silver理解可知，凯勒布·德雷塞尔和美国选手们获得了银牌，说明美国队在巴黎奥运会男子4×100米混合泳接力赛中获得了第二名。
3. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段理解可知，中国蛙泳选手覃海洋也功不可没，以57.98秒的分段成绩力压四获金牌的法国游泳新星莱昂·马尔尚，由此推断，覃海洋是一个出色的蛙泳选手。
