    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　In 1947 Angela Mortimer was captain of the team which won the Plymouth Interschools’ Championship．From the moment she stepped forward to receive the silver cup, she was determined to become a Wimbledon Champion．

    　　Encouraged by her school championship success, Angela decided that she should have proper coaching．She heard that there was a good tennis coach at Torquay, a Mr．Roberts, who was prepared to give free tennis lessons to promising youngsters under twelve years of age and living in the Torquay area．The fact that Angela was over fifteen did not stop her．One Saturday, she made the forty-mile journey from Plymouth to Torquay and introduced herself to Mr．Roberts．Arthur Roberts was not impressed．He played a few shots to Angela and then told her directly that she knew nothing about the game and was too old to learn．He also reminded her that she lived in Plymouth, which could hardly be considered in the Torquay area．

    　　If Arthur Roberts thought he had got rid of Angela, he was very much mistaken．For her part Angela had been greatly impressed by Mr．Roberts．She made up her mind that she was not too old to learn tennis and that Arthur Roberts was the man to teach her．However, her school certificate examination was appearing ahead and she was determined to work hard．Although the headmaster wanted her to stay on at school for another year before taking her examination, Angela begged to be allowed to sit．She surprised everyone by passing with credit in five subjects．

    　　Angela then had a stroke of luck．She managed to persuade her family to move nearer to Torquay．Despite what had taken place at their last meeting, Angela properly presented herself to Arthur Roberts and asked him for free coaching．Arthur’s welcome was not a warm one．His time was fully occupied in coaching some promising young players．However, he had to admire Angela．Whatever else she lacked, she was obviously a girl of courage and determination．Arthur liked these qualities in a pupil．“You can play against the wall,” he said, “and if you improve I might help you．”

    　　Angela’s heart leapt with joy．“I’ll show him,” she said to herself．“I will certainly show him．”

    Reading comprehension.
         Matt Scott, who was born with spina bifida (脊柱裂), grew up in Detroit, Michigan, where he participated
    in a variety of sports alongside his healthy friends. Now as a member of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
    wheelchair basketball team, Scott has won four national championships, and has recently been selected to
    the Paralympic team for the second time. The 23-year-old college senior owes his achievements to his hard
    work and the support of his friends and family, who never allowed him to use his disability as an excuse.
    "My mother was always great. Whenever I felt giving up, she had no sympathy. She really helped me build
    my independence by not babying me the way other mothers would have," Scott says.
         It was Scott's independent nature and strong will, along with his on-the-court skills, that attracted the
    attention of America's most influential sports apparel (衣服) company, Nike. Nike was searching for an
    athlete with a disability to represent its "Just Do It" trademark. A handful of superstar athletes with disabilities
    came to audition for the role, but the company picked Scott to star in the 30-second commercial.
         "I think that they were looking for the prettiest face in America, and found me," Scott jokes about the
    selection process.
         After being picked, Scott flew to California to film the commercial with Oscar-winning documentary
    director Errol Morris. The ad gave Scott celebrity (名人) status in the community of disabled athletes. He's
    been asked to speak at a number of disability-related events, and feels it's his duty to use the media to draw
    attention to those with disabilities. "I've been given a voice, and I want to do whatever I can to break down
    the social barriers that are still faced by disabled athletes, and make people realize that they have a very high
    athletic level," Scott says.
    1. When Scott was young, _____.
    [     ]
    A. he only played basketbal with other disabled children
    B. he became disabled during a basketball match
    C. his friends looked down upon him during basketball matches
    D. his mother didn't give him special treatment
    2. Nike chose Scott to star in its commercial for his _____. 
        a. pretty appearance
        b. indepedent nature
        c. strong will
        d. excellent basketball skills 
        e. status in the community of disabled athletes
        [     ]
    A. bce
    B. ade
    C. abd
    D. bcd
    3. The underlined phrase "audition for" in the second paragraph means "_____".
    [     ]
    A. try out for
    B. look out for
    C. take on
    D. pick out
    4. Which of the following about Scott is TRUE?
    [     ]
    A. He has graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
    B. He thinks it's unwise for the disabled to use disability as an excuse.
    C. He starred in a commercial together with Errol Morris.
    D. He thinks it's important to have many goals.
    5. To Scott, the most important result of the ad was that _____.
    [     ]
    A. it made people realize the athletic talent of the disabled
    B it gave him a chance to show his basketball skills
    C. he could do more for disabled athletes
    D. he was selected to the Paralympic team again

    A．Organized sports help children form healthy habits

    B．Organized sports help children keep fit

    C．Group sports teach children to work hard to reach the goals

    D．Organized sports help children build confidence and identity

    E．Organized sports help children learn from teamwork

    F．Children have become interested in organized sports

    61._____________

    There are a lot of benefits for children to take part in organized sports.Playing organized sports helps children get the exercise they need to stay healthy，and make sure that they have a strong and healthy body throughout their lives.Sports also help children develop and understand skills and strengths that they will need forever.

    62. _____________

    Children who play organized sports have an increased awareness (意识) of their bodies，and are less likely to do things that will harm them at an early age，such as smoking cigarettes，drinking，or taking drugs.Many sports programs also teach nutrition (营养学) to young children，giving them even more awareness of the things they should do and should not do to their bodies.

    63. _____________

    Participating in sports can help a child become more confident.As children practice and work to become better at any activity，their confidence level will increase.This new­found confidence will carry over into other things besides sports，including their studies and personal lives.Group activities such as organized  sports  help  children  identify  with  a particular group—their team，which is necessary to the personal and social development of a child.Children who do not feel they are accepted or belong anywhere often experience anxiety  and a general lack of confidence.

    64. _____________

    Group sports teach children that in order to become good at something，they must work toward their goals.This is a very valuable lesson，one that they must carry with them into their adult lives.Sports also teach children that when they do not succeed—losing a game，for example—that they must deal with losing，and move on.Obviously，this is necessary，because as an adult，you must move on after any kind of loss，and work to prevent those things from happening again，whether it is on the field，in your work，or in your personal life.

    65. _____________

    Children who take part in these kinds of activities learn to communicate and work better with their team players and with adults.Teamwork is a valuable skill for children.Organized sports often are made up of kids who have all kinds of different social and economic backgrounds，which provide the opportunity to make new friends.
