German weightlifter Matthias Steiner pulled ahead of Russian rival Evgeny Chigishev to win the Olympic men"s +105 kg weightlifting gold medal on Tuesday.
Steiner lifted a total of 461kg, 203kg in the snatch(抓举) and 258kg in the clean and jerk(挺举), to beat Chigishev by a single kilogram. The German won the battle of giants in his last lift, winning his country"s first gold medal in the event at this year"s Games.
Steiner"s winning lift was also the last effort of the sport for this Olympics at which China earned eight of the 15 golds.
Steiner was born in Austria and represented his country of birth at the Athens Olympics four years ago, placing seventh in the lower 105kg category, but had a falling out with Austria"s weightlifting federation afterwards.
He applied for German citizenship in 2005 and got married, but his career went into deep freeze（困境）as he could not compete without a passport. He finally obtained the document last January.
The German, who turns 26 on Monday, had come to these Games on a mission to win the title for his wife Susann, who died in a car accident in July last year. The German team said he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal.
Chigishev was the strongest in the snatch session Tuesday. He kissed his fists after a 210-kg lift that gave him a 7-kg advantage over fourth-placed Steiner going into the second event -- the clean and jerk. He let out a victorious roar（吼叫）after clearing 250 kg in his last lift, but the glory was short-lived as Steiner stunned（使瞠目）everyone with his final, winning clean and jerk effort.
Steiner had finished seventh in the 2004 Olympics in the 105kg weight category, and took the gold in the 2008 European Championship +105kg snatch competition, bronze in the clean and jerk and silver overall, with a total weight of 446kg.
World champion Viktors Scerbatihs of Latvia settled for bronze.

解析
小题1:细节理解题。Steiner以461公斤的总成绩获得冠军。文章第三段首句Steiner lifted a total of 461kg, 203kg in the snatch and 258kg in the clean and jerk, to beat Chigishev by a single kilogram.作了具体叙述。
小题2:细节理解题。文章第五段首句Steiner was born in Austria and represented his country of birth at the Athens Olympics four years ago说四年前Steiner是代表奥地利队的。后来他离开奥地利举重协会加入了德国籍。
小题3:细节理解题。Steiner最后拿到护照的时间是去年的1月，而不是2月，因此C项叙述不正确。
小题4:推理判断题。第七段说Steiner had come on a mission to win the title for his wife Susann，德国队也说he used the personal tragedy to motivate himself to win the gold medal.，由此可以推知Steiner的夺金动力来自他的已故的妻子Susann。
小题5:主旨大意题。综合全文，C项《金牌告慰亡妻》能全面概括文章的大意。
举一反三
With 57 billion dollars net worth Gates again leads the list of 400 richest individuals in the world"s wealthiest country. He displaced Buffett who briefly held the position this year but who has seen his Berkshire Hathaway investment group"s shares slip 15 percent since February and is now worth 50 billion.
According to Forbes, whose list was published late Wednesday, the golden 400 have 1.3 billion dollars net worth or more. However, their combined net worth rose only 30 billion dollars, or two percent, to 1.57 trillion dollars.
Forbes said that rising oil and dizzy art prices fuelled the entry of 31 new members into the ultra-rich club and the return of eight previous members.
A notable arrival was Mark Zuckerberg, 24, founder of the social networking site Facebook（脸谱网）. Forbes estimates his worth at 1.5 billion dollars.
Meanwhile, turmoil（动荡）on the stock and housing markets saw 33 others drop off the list, including the former head of the troubled insurance giant AIG, Maurice Greenberg, and a former head of the online auction site eBay, Margaret Whitman.
Biggest gainers were led by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who took eighth place with 20 billion dollars worth after a transaction（交易）put a new value on his Bloomberg media and financial data network.
The biggest loser was casino（赌场，娱乐场）tycoon Sheldon Adelson, whose fortune fell 13 billion dollars over 12 months -- the equivalent to 1.5 million dollars an hour -- although he still has 15 billion dollars and occupies 15th place.
About two thirds of the list are self-made billionaires and just over 10 percent are women, led by television star Oprah Winfrey whose fortune rose 200 million dollars to 2.7 billion dollars.
小题1: According to Forbes, Warren Buffet is worth _____.
| A．57 billion dollars | B．50 billion dollars | C．1.5 billion dollars | D．20 billion dollars |
