The Family Effect
Lin’s enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan,where his father started watching it.Lin’s father moved to U.S.,and his interest in the sport only grew.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.After each game,his parents would discuss not only his score but also his conduct toward other players.This taught Lin that character was more important than playing well,a lesson he still remembers.
Rise of a Star
In high school,Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA but did not really expect to do so.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 take off.He scored 1,482 points,making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.Eventually,the recognition he received led him to suspect that his NBA dream could come true.
When he first graduated,no professional teams offered Lin a contract(合约),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.
Life in the NBA
His journey in NBA did not go very well at first.He spent most of his time on the bench during the past two seasons.He constantly compared himself to other players and gave himself no time to rest up.For the first time in his life,he no longer enjoyed playing basketball.After a few very difficult months,he realized that much of his anxiety and stress came from selfcentered desires like wanting to be famous.So he transformed his attitude.He never stopped practicing and never gave up any slim chance.
Now he has become the NBA’s latest phenomenon after leading the New York Knicks to seven straight wins.He stays_humble and thinks that the credit for the winning goes to everyone in his team.Knicks fans developed nicknames for him,such as “Linsanity”,“Lincredible”,and “Linderella”.The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA”.

答案
小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:A
小题4:C
解析
小题1: D
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段的开头:起初他在NBA的旅程并不顺利,在过去的两个赛季他大部分时间都在坐冷板凳,可知他受到了冷遇。
小题2: B
解析 词义猜测题。根据上文“林书豪已经成为NBA的新人王,带领纽约尼克斯队获得七连胜”和下文“他认为成绩归功于队里的每一个成员”推断,stays humble此处意为“保持谦逊,不骄傲”。
小题3: A
解析 推理判断题。文章告诉我们,林书豪从小受父亲的影响热爱打篮球,学生时代也一直在打篮球,进入NBA后,尽管坐冷板凳,仍然刻苦训练,终于取得了成功。由此推断,我们要向他学习努力奋斗的精神,才能获得成功。
小题4: C
解析 标题归纳题。纵观全文,林书豪从小就热爱打篮球,高中时代梦想依然继续,进入哈佛以后逐渐崭露头角,他自认为他的NBA之梦就要实现了。但是他进入NBA之后,却遭受冷遇,曾一度失去了打篮球的兴趣。最终他坚持了下来,刻苦训练,终于获得了巨大的成功。正是他一路追逐梦想,享受篮球带来的欢乐,才使得自己从一个小人物变成了人人知晓的“林疯狂”,因此推断答案为C项。

So,what’s wrong with the traditional flush toilet?Firstly,it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly,they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world,where,according to United Nations estimates,unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally,standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water,electricity or aseptic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair,in Seattle,USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves,another which converted human waste into charcoal,and yet another which used urine for flushing.
But the winner was a solarpowered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT) picked up a prize of $100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said,“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.” Gates has even pledged $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
小题1:Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A.Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity. |
B.Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people. |
C.Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion. |
D.Because he can’t design this kind of things himself. |
A.They waste too much water. |
B.They might cause diseases. |
C.They are not always practical. |
D.They are too complicated to use. |
A.loo | B.sanitation |
C.diarrhea | D.prototype |
A.can change human waste into electricity |
B.can turn human waste into charcoal |
C.can produce power with solar energy |
D.can use urine for flushing |
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject,almost casually,making an important contribution,and then dropping it again.However,the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913~1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance,the analysis of the crystal structure by means of Xrays.It is true that the use of Xrays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities,and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books,including Studies in Radioactivity,XRays and Crystal Structure,The World of Sound,Concerning the Nature of Things,Old Trades and New Knowledge,An Introduction to Crystal Analysis,and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness,Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.

The 22yearold Russian overtook Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20.“Before,every place I go,I am Marat’s sister.Nothing else,”she told New York Times.“I always wanted to be myself,and now finally the results come,and people can know me as Dinara Safina.”
Safina has made it to two great event finals,in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open,and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.
Clearly,family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share.Their DNA burns with competitive fire.Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hottempered player on court.When he lost his temper,he would smash a racket (球拍).Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother.A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as “mad as a snake”.The Sydney Morning Herald,during the Australian Open,summed up Safina’s volatile (不稳定的) emotional state with the headline—Safina goes from basket case to top of the world.
It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players.Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach.“I had no choice but to become a tennis player,but I don’t mind being a tennis player,” Safina said.
From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court,her size.She is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.
“I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No.1,”she said.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.How Safina came first in women’s tennis. |
B.How the parents taught Safina to play tennis. |
C.How her brother helped Safina play tennis. |
D.How Safina beat her brother in playing tennis. |
A.Her hard work and strong competitiveness. |
B.Her emotional explosion and volatile emotional state. |
C.The fact that she is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg. |
D.The fact that her parents are both good tennis players. |
A.Serena Williams was topped by Safina on ranking list on April 20. |
B.Dinara Safina was always very confident and eager to succeed. |
C.Safina was eager to become a tennis player when she was a child. |
D.Marat Safin won the two finals,in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open. |
A.Safina wanted to top the world in tennis when she was a baby in a basket. |
B.After she won the Australian Open,Dinara Safina cried. |
C.Too nervous at first,Safina finally gained confidence and won. |
D.Safina learnt from the basket case and finally came top of the world. |
