February 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.

         Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin's background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.

         Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.

         In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.

         During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.

         When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.

    At first,playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.

    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012,on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory. Knicks fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林發(fā)瘋). Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.

1.Which of the following is of little help in Lin’s success?

A. his father’s influence          B. his devotion to basketball

C. his years of hard work         D. his graduation from Harvard University

2. What does the phrases "wore off" in seventh paragraph probably mean?

A. arose      B. disappeared        C. grew        D. remained

3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Lin learned to play basketball when he was eight.

B. Lin was excited for professional games and did a good job at the beginning.

C. Before Lin there was no Chinese-American NBA players.

D. Lin is the most outstanding player in NBA.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. Lin didn’t have a smooth road in NBA.

B. Lin got an easy entry into NBA.

C. Lin didn’t show his basketball talents in Harvard University.

D. NBA prefers graduates from Harvard University.

 

【答案】

 

1.D

2.B

3.C

4.A

【解析】試題分析:

1.第二段講到他父親對(duì)他的影響,林書(shū)豪還是小孩時(shí)就對(duì)籃球很熱愛(ài),第六段When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract,可見(jiàn),他畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué),這個(gè)名頭并沒(méi)有給他多少幫助。

2.推斷題。定位在倒數(shù)第二段,剛開(kāi)始很興奮,但是隨后興奮感消失了,取而代之的是焦慮。

disappear 消失   arose 出現(xiàn)   grew 生長(zhǎng)  remain 仍然

3..判斷題。第二段he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.  故選C。A.應(yīng)為5歲時(shí)就學(xué)習(xí)打籃球。

B.倒數(shù)第二段,講到他剛開(kāi)始時(shí)并不順利,甚至在紐約尼克斯隊(duì)選正確被兩個(gè)隊(duì)拋棄過(guò)。D.夸大其詞,文章并未提到他是最杰出的。

4..推斷題。林書(shū)豪的NBA之路并非一帆風(fēng)順。排除法選A。 第五段講到了林在哈佛的表現(xiàn)非常出色。

考點(diǎn):人物傳記類(lèi)

點(diǎn)評(píng):文章講述了林書(shū)豪的成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷。講述他的NBA之旅并非一帆風(fēng)順,最后取得了成功。解答這類(lèi)題把握好文章的主線,運(yùn)用排除法及細(xì)節(jié)分析對(duì)比法,解答好每一題。對(duì)于69題的判斷題,要仔細(xì)對(duì)照全文,既要避免絕對(duì)化語(yǔ)言,也要避免偷換概念,以偏概全。

February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.

     On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals(花瓣)! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest(神父) in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.

     But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies(儀式) for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.

     Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.

1... Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?

     A. Because there were few women in his country at that time.

     B. Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.

     C. Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.

     D. Because he wanted to control the birth rate.

2... Valentine was put into prison because ______.

     A. he killed one of the soldiers 

     B. he stole a lot of food

     C. he didn’t obey the emperor’s order   

     D. he didn’t want to be a soldier

3.. The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.

     A. students in China send cards to their teachers

     B. it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China

     C. it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China

     D. Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now

4..The best title for this passage should be ______.

     A. Valentine’s Day                          B. A Brave Priest  

     C. Valentine’s Day in China               D. A Romantic Man
