题目解答
答案
我们来一步一步分析这道题目。
题目问的是：作者说 Red Rum 用他的力量、速度和跳跃能力做了什么？
我们回到原文中找相关的句子：
原文第一段写道：
> "Red Rum's true talent came out in steeplechases (障碍赛马). His power, speed and jumping ability carried him to his first Grand National title in 1973."
这句话非常关键。它明确指出：他的力量、速度和跳跃能力使他赢得了1973年的首届Grand National冠军。
所以，作者说 Red Rum 凭借这些能力，赢得了1973年的Grand National冠军。
现在我们来看选项：
A. He won his first Grand National title in 1973.
—— 这与原文完全一致，是正确答案。
B. He took two firsts successively in 1935-1936.
—— 错误。原文说“他是自1935-1936年Reynoldstown以来第一个连续夺冠的马”，但1935-1936年夺冠的是Reynoldstown，不是Red Rum。
C. He surprised sporting fans worldwide in 1973.
—— 错误。原文说他在1977年出人意料地夺冠，才让全世界震惊，不是1973年。1973年是他第一次夺冠，但没有说当时是“意外”。
D. He took three Grand National wins in the 1970s.
—— 虽然这个事实是正确的（他确实在1970年代赢了三次），但题目问的是“作者说他用力量、速度和跳跃能力做了什么”，而原文明确将这些能力与1973年第一次夺冠联系起来，而不是笼统地说三次夺冠。
因此，最准确、最符合原文表述的是选项 A。
答案：A
\boxed{A}
解析
本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。。解题思路是先明确题目所问的核心内容，即Red Rum用他的力量、速度和跳跃能力做了什么，然后在原文中精准定位相关信息，将各选项与原文信息进行细致比对，从而找出正确答案。
- 首先，在原文中找到关键句子 “Red Rum's true talent came out in steeplechases. His power, speed and jumping ability carried him to his first Grand National title in 1973.”，这表明Red Rum凭借力量、速度和跳跃能力在1973年获得了首个Grand National冠军。
- 接着分析选项：
- 选项A：“He won his first Grand National title in 1973.”，与原文表述完全一致，所以该选项正确。
- 选项B：“He took two firsts successively in 1935 - 1936.”，原文提到 “He was the first horse to take successive firsts since Reynoldstown in 1935 - 1936”，说明1935 - 1936年连续夺冠的是Reynoldstown，并非Red Rum，所以该选项错误。
- 选项C：“He surprised sporting fans worldwide in 1973.”，原文说 “He surprised sporting fans around the world when he came in a remarkable 25 lengths ahead of the nearest horse, taking his third Grand National win”，可知是1977年夺冠让全世界震惊，而不是1973年，所以该选项错误。
- 选项D：“He took three Grand National wins in the 1970s.”，虽然Red Rum在1970年代确实赢了三次，但题目问的是用力量、速度和跳跃能力做了什么，原文明确将这些能力与1973年首次夺冠联系，并非笼统说三次夺冠，所以该选项不准确。
