F1世界冠军“冰人”之子续写赛车传承
Robin Raikkonen is an 11-year-old boy from Finland. His father Kimi is a famous car racing star. Now Robin has joined the Red Bull car racing team, and people say he is one of the best young racers of his age.
He got this chance because he did very well in karting (卡丁车) races, where young drivers learn their first racing skills. He will keep racing in karting first and start the team’s training program in 2027.
His father Kimi is very thrilled. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time and feels truly proud of his son.He said the team will help Robin grow in the coming years. Kimi won his F1 world title (冠军) in 2007. In his long racing life, he won 21 races and stood on the podium (领奖台) 103 times. He stopped racing in 2021 after 20 years in F1.
So far, only two fathers and their sons have both won the F1 world title. Now people hope Robin can become the third son to do so. Red Bull’s team leader says Robin is fast and calm. The team will help him little by little and will not push him too hard.

1.1. How old is Robin?
A Twelve years old.
B Ten years old.
C Eleven years old.
D Thirteen years old.
解析：选C。C 细节理解题。文章第一句直接说“Robin Raikkonen is an 11-year-old boy from Finland.”，明确给出罗宾11岁。A“十二岁”、B“十岁”、D“十三岁”都与原文年龄信息不符。故选C。
2.2. Why did Robin get the chance to join Red Bull?
A He was good at karting.
B His father is famous.
C He won a world title.
D He wanted to earn money.
解析：选A。A 细节理解题。第二段明确说“He got this chance because he did very well in karting races”，说明罗宾得到加入红牛的机会，是因为他在卡丁车比赛中表现很好。B“他父亲很有名”不是文中给出的原因；C“他赢得了世界冠军”与原文不符，赢得F1世界冠军的是他父亲Kimi；D“他想赚钱”文中完全没有提到，属于无中生有。故选A。
3.3. What does the underlined word “thrilled” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A Very tired and bored.
B Very angry and upset.
C Very excited and happy.
D Very worried and scared.
解析：选C。C 词义猜测题。根据第三段语境，Kimi“has been waiting for this moment for a long time and feels truly proud of his son”，说明他等了很久，并且为儿子感到骄傲，因此“thrilled”应理解为“非常激动、高兴”。A“非常疲惫无聊”、B“非常生气沮丧”、D“非常担忧害怕”都与父亲骄傲、高兴的情绪相反。故选C。
4.4.When did Kimi start his F1 racing life?
A In 2007.
B In 2011.
C In 2021.
D In 2001.
解析：选D。D 数字计算题。原文第三段给出关键信息“He stopped racing in 2021 after 20 years in F1.”（他在F1征战了20年后，于2021年退役。）由“退役年份 − 赛车年限 = 开始年份”，即 2021 − 20 = 2001，可知他开始 F1 赛车生涯的年份是 2001。故选D。
5.5. What is the passage mainly about?
A How to win the world title.
B A young racer joins Red Bull.
C The father’s long life in racing.
D How to train young racers.
解析：选B。B 主旨大意题。全文围绕11岁的罗宾加入红牛车队展开，介绍了他的年龄、加入原因、父亲Kimi的态度以及红牛车队对他的培养计划，因此主旨是“一位年轻赛车手加入红牛”。A“如何赢得世界冠军”只是文中提到的背景，不是全文重点；C“父亲漫长的赛车生涯”只是第三段的部分内容；D 选项 “如何培养年轻赛车手” 仅为文末少量信息，属于以偏概全，不是文章主旨。故选B。
