B
Back in February, sophomore Jackie Hsiao of the UR Fencing Club competed in the 2025
Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC, which was the summit of her six years of preparation
and her first national-level competition against superior fencers.
Hsiao’s fencing journey began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Despite
spending long hours sweating in fencing gear and competing against more experienced
opponents, which left her tired and frustrated, her time at camp awakened her interest in the
sport, which she later pursued.
In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches, some of whom
also went to participate in February’s Junior Olympics. She developed and refined her skills with
the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon targeting the body.
In her senior year, Hsiao suffered a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带撕裂), which put
her fencing career in danger. “I thought I would never get back into fencing,” she said. After
surgery and nine months of punishing physical therapy two to three times a week, Hsiao began
fencing again. Regarding the changes to her fencing after the injury, Hsiao noted, “I’ve always
been a more defensive fencer so my fencing hasn’t changed too much after my injury. I do have to
think more about getting my back leg under me while I fence.”
Beyond the physical alterations to her style, Hsiao spoke on the mental adjustments she
made for high-level competitions. She emphasized the importance of positive thinking and mental
preparation, saying, “If you think you’re going to do badly, it does have an impact on how you
fence.” Moreover, from recent meets, including the Junior Olympics, she learned to “trust
instincts（直觉） and avoid overthinking during matches.”
Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Not giving up is key
and losing is one of the best ways to learn.” Her next goal in fencing is to continue competing at
a national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association through tournament
victories.

Despite spending long hours sweating in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents, which left her tired and frustrated, her time at camp awakened her interest in the sport, which she later pursued. (Hsiao 的击剑之旅始于八年级前的一个夏令营。尽管她花费很长时间穿着击剑服挥汗如雨,与更有经验的对手较量让她感到疲惫和沮丧,但她在夏令营的这一经历唤起了她对这项运动的兴趣,后来她继续坚持这项运动。)”可知,最初激励她从事击剑运动的是她在夏令营的经历。故选 D。]
25.C [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Regarding the changes to her fencing after the injury, Hsiao noted, ‘I've always been a more defensive fencer so my fencing hasn't changed too much after my injury. I do have to think more about getting my back leg under me while I fence.’(至于受伤后击剑策略的变化,Hsiao 指出:‘我一直是一个更具防守性的击剑手,所以受伤后我的击剑风格并没有太大变化。当我击剑时,我确实要多考虑一下如何把后腿稳住。’)”可知,前交叉韧带撕裂让她在击剑时更加关注身体上的调整。故选 C。]
26.A [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Regarding the changes to her fencing after the injury, Hsiao noted, ‘I've always been a more defensive fencer so my fencing hasn't changed too much after my injury. I do have to think more about getting my back leg under me while I fence.’(至于受伤后击剑策略的变化,Hsiao 指出:‘我一直是一个更具防守性的击剑手,所以受伤后我的击剑风格并没有太大变化。当我击剑时,我确实要多考虑一下如何把后腿稳住。’)”以及第五段中的“Moreover, from recent meets, including the Junior Olympics, she learned to ‘trust instincts (直觉) and avoid overthinking during matches.’(此外,从最近的比赛,包括青少年奥运会中,她学会了‘在比赛中相信直觉,避免过度思考。’)”可以看出,Hsiao 能够反思自己击剑风格的变化以及比赛中的心态调整,这体现出反思性;同时,Hsiao 受伤后能够根据身体情况调整击剑动作,在比赛中学会相信直觉避免过度思考,这些都显示出她具有灵活性。所以 Hsiao 是一个善于反思且灵活的人。故选 A。]
