This is China's third Olympic women's volleyball gold medal after the ones in 1984 and 2004. Here's a review of their triumphant（胜利的）journey in Rio.

Facing host Brazil,the Chinese girls tried their best to play each ball. At last they beat Brazil. Facing the Netherlands again in the semi-finals,they won 3-1.

The final was difficult as China and Serbia battled hard in each set of the match which lasted ninety-seven minutes. China lost the opening set at 19-25,but world class coach Lang Ping's girls never gave up,and they took the next three sets at 25-17,25-22,25-23.

【解析】

本文主要介绍了中国女排在在里约奥运会上取得总冠军的情况。在里约奥运会上中国女排先是输给了荷兰队，但后来他们赢了意大利队和波多黎各队，经过努力中国队又赢了东道主巴西队。最终中国队以3比1战胜塞尔维亚队再一次获得总冠军。这是中国女排第三次获得世界奥运会冠军。中国女排精神是不屈不挠精神的代表。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段This is China's third Olympic women's volleyball gold medal after the ones in 1984 and 2004.“这是中国继1984年各2004年后的第三枚奥运会女排金牌”可知这是第三次奥运会冠军。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段The Chinese women's volleyball team first lost to Netherlands.“中国女排首先输给了荷兰队。”可知中国先是与荷兰队比赛。故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据第四段The final was difficult as China and Serbia battled hard in each set of the match which lasted ninety-seven minutes.“中国与塞尔维亚队之间的决赛是艰难的，这场比赛持续了97分钟”，可知比赛时间是97分钟，也就是1小时37分钟。故选D。

4.推理判断题。根据第二、三段内容可知，中国队对阵情况是，中国女排先是输给了荷兰队，后来赢了意大利队和波多黎各队，又赢了东道主巴西队。最终战胜塞尔维亚队。按照这样的顺序，应该是①③②④。故选C。

5.推理判断题。根据第一段“This is China's third Olympic women's volleyball gold medal after the ones in 1984 and 2004.”可知前两次冠军不是1984年和2008年，故A选项错误；根据全文内容及“but world class coach Lang Ping's girls never gave up，”可知郎平与她的队员从没放弃，故B选项正确；根据第二段“But after a short-time happiness，they had to fight with European champions Serbia and the US.”，可知塞尔维亚队是欧洲的冠军，并不是亚洲的冠军，故C选项错误；根据最后一段“the women's volleyball team has always been a symbol of perseverance.”可知中国女排是不屈不挠精神的代表，并不是友谊的代表，故D选项错误。故选B。
