　　During the 1990s, Michael Jordan was probably the best-known athlete in the world. He was the top scorer in the NBA, and played for the Chicago Bulls from 1984 to 1993.He was named their most valuable player five times. Wearing his famous number 23 shirt, Michael Jordan became the most successful basketball player in the history of the game. Jordan was born in New York and grew up in North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina for a year before leaving to join the Chicago Bulls. He finished his first season(1984—1985)as one of the top scorers in the league, with an average of 28.2 points per game. In 1987, Jordan became only the second player to score more than 3,000 points in a season. He was the top scorer in the NBA for seven consecutive seasons(1987—1993). During this time, the average number of points he scored was more than 30 points per game. With him, the Bulls won their first NBA championship in 1991.During this successful period they won the title again in 1992 and 1993. Jordan was also in the United States Olympics Basketball Team, known as “the Dream Team”, which won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Jordan surprised everyone when he retired before the 1993—1994 season, but he rejoined the Chicago Bulls and won three more championships with them from 1996 to 1998. He played again for the Washington Wizards before finally retiring from sport in 2003 at the age of 40. Millions of fans admire his athletic ability, motivation and confidence. They have fantastic stories to tell about Michael Jordan, such as the time when he rescued the Bulls from ending a game on a tie. He stepped to the line and made two free throws. Each time he threw the ball straight through the basket—and each time he had his eyes closed. There is only one word to describe the best player in the world—awesome! 【译文】 迈克尔·乔丹——篮坛超人! 　　20世纪90年代,迈克尔·乔丹可能是世界上最著名的运动员。他是NBA的得分王,1984年到1993年间效力于芝加哥公牛队。他曾5次荣膺最有价值球员。身着著名的23号球衣,迈克尔·乔丹成为篮球运动史上最成功的球员。

乔丹出生于纽约,在北卡罗来纳州长大。在加入芝加哥公牛队前,他在北卡罗来纳大学学习了一年。在第一个赛季(1984—1985),他就以平均每场28.2分的成绩成为联盟得分最高的球员之一。

1987年,乔丹成为在一个赛季中得分超过3,000分的第二名球员。以后连续七个赛季(1987—1993),他都是NBA的得分王。这期间,他每场比赛的平均分都超过30分。有了他的参与,公牛队在1991年首度获得NBA总冠军。在这段成功的日子里,捷报频传,他们在1992年和1993年又蝉联了总冠军。乔丹也是人称“梦之队”的美国奥林匹克篮球队的成员,这支球队在1992年西班牙巴塞罗那奥运会上夺取了金牌。

1993—1994赛季前乔丹退役,引起举世震惊,但后来他又回到了芝加哥公牛队,并和队友们一起在1996年到1998年间又获得了三次冠军。2003年40岁的乔丹在最终退出体坛前,还曾效力于华盛顿奇才队。上百万的球迷都很钦佩乔丹的运动能力、动力和信心。他们可以讲述很多关于迈克尔·乔丹的传奇故事,例如,一次他在比赛的关键时刻拯救了公牛队,从而避免打成平局等。他走向罚球线,罚了两次球。每次他都把球直接送进球篮——而且每次都是闭着眼睛投进的。

对于这位世界上最优秀的球员,只有一个词能用来形容他——了不起!

The Road To Success 　　Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry＇s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from① the bright lights and shiny② courts of the National Basketball Association③(NBA), it was along this road that④ Stephen＇s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole⑤.  [文本解读]　本段在介绍主人公之前,先对祖父建造的简易的球篮进行渲染和铺垫,为下文主人公在艰苦环境下取得成功埋下了伏笔。第一句话中的goes“(从……)通向,延伸到”,属于熟词生义,小词大意,用词精准、生动。最后一句使用了强调句型,表面上是强调主人公训练条件艰苦,实则是突出主人公坚强的毅力和决心。

通往成功之路 　　在弗吉尼亚州的格罗托斯小镇附近,有一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里祖父的房子通往附近的树林。这与美国男子职业篮球联赛③(NBA)赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的②球场相去甚远①。斯蒂芬的祖父就是沿着这条路,④在一根电线杆上绑了一块塑料,⑤造了一个简易的篮筐。

　　Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy⑥ basketball court. He probably didn＇t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player⑦. You see, with every shot⑧, the weak plastic backboard gave way⑨. The bumps⑩ and rocks that lined the road under the basket ⑪caused the ball to bounce  ⑫in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn＇t easy ⑬. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy ⑭ was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre ⑮ went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out ⑯ helped Stephen sharpen ⑰ his skills.  [文本解读]　本段主要介绍斯蒂芬·库里在爷爷为他制作的简易篮球场上训练时遇到的困难,及他是如何克服困难、提升篮球投篮技巧的。运用了一些高级表达方式。如:where引导的表语从句,that引导的定语从句,动名词短语Knowing where the ball would go、Shooting with great accuracy及practising day in and day out作主语,过去分词短语aimed at its centre作定语等。另外一些词汇的精准运用,如:probably、creative、flexible、give way、in all directions及day in and day out也值得同学们去模仿、使用。

　　像他的父亲,篮球明星戴尔·库里一样,斯蒂芬小时候的许多时光也是在这个泥泞的⑥篮球场上度过的。他当时可能没有意识到这一点,但正是在这里,他学会了作为一名球员的创造力和灵活性⑦。你看,每一次投篮⑧,脆弱的塑料篮板都被击垮⑨了。篮下道路两旁的 ⑪坑坑洼洼⑩和石块使球向四面八方反弹 ⑫。知道球要飞到哪里并不容易 ⑬。因此,他不得不调整自己的打球风格。精准投篮 ⑭是他学到的另一个技巧。只有那些完全瞄准篮筐中心的 ⑮投篮才会进入又重又厚的篮筐。就这样,日复一日地练习 ⑯帮助斯蒂芬提高 ⑰了他的技能。

　　Despite his father＇s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates ⑱ and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father＇s footsteps ⑲. But Stephen carried on ⑳. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing ㉑ college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson＇s star player ㉒.  [文本解读]　本段讲了斯蒂芬·库里由于身体条件不好,许多人,包括他的队友和教练,认为他不会像他父亲那样成为成功的篮球运动员。但是,库里为了追逐梦想,没有放弃,最终成为戴维森学院的明星球员。本段中despite、but、finally等词的运用使文章逻辑严密,说服力更强。另外,短语follow in one＇s footsteps、carry on、end up doing和词汇little-known、creativity、perseverance的运用以及where引导的宾语从句,以及最后一句使用了“主语+谓语+宾语+宾补(名词)”结构,都值得同学们去模仿和学习。

　　尽管他父亲的职业生涯很成功,但很多人,包括他的高中队友 ⑱和教练,都认为斯蒂芬太矮、太瘦、太虚弱,无法追随父亲的脚步 ⑲。但是斯蒂芬坚持了下来 ⑳。打篮球是他的梦想。他不会放弃。最终,他去了离家不远的戴维森学院去打球, ㉑那是一个规模小、不出名的学校。他的创造力和毅力使他成为戴维森学院的明星球员 ㉒。

　　Selected for ㉓ the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors ㉔. He performed beyond everyone＇s expectations ㉕ with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts ㉖. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.  [文本解读]　本段介绍了库里加盟金州勇士队,赢得了他第一个NBA总冠军,并带领勇士队自1975年以来首度夺冠。使用了过去分词短语Selected for the NBA in 2009作状语,介词短语with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts表示原因,使表达更简洁、地道。beyond everyone＇s expectations的运用凸显了库里艰苦的付出和他的毅力。

　　2009年,斯蒂芬入选 ㉓NBA,加入金州勇士队 ㉔。他准确的投篮和不断的努力 ㉖让他的表现超出了所有人的预期 ㉕。2015年,斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军,他带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个总冠军。

　　After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row ㉗, Stephen explained his philosophy ㉘,“I never really set out to change the game...What I wanted to do was just be myself ㉙... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value ㉚ the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better ㉛.You＇ve got to be able to put in the time and the work.

Curry was born on March 14th, 1988 in Ohio, the US. His father and brother were both basketball players. In his childhood, his father often took him and his brother to watch the games and practise basketball after competitions. Influenced by his father, Curry showed the talents for playing basketball when he was young. And he had a perfect balance between athletic skills and performances. However, due to a lack of size and strength at that time, many school didn＇t believe in his abilities or skills and refused to make him join their school basketball teams. Curry never gave up but removed the doubts with hard training. All his devotion and persistence paid off. He was enrolled at Davidson College where he became a national star. He always got the most points in a game and people could hardly forget his fantastic performances. In 2009, Curry became a member of the GSW(Golden State Warriors). Curry is famous especially for his three-point shot. He made more than 400 three-point shots in the 2016 season. Many fans call him the greatest shooter in NBA history. He has won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award twice, and led the GSW to their first championship. “He is like a great actor on a Broadway stage.” said coach Steve Kerr. “He sings his best notes and dances his best steps.” Curry is still young and has a long way to go in NBA.We believe that he will bring us more surprises in the future. 1.Why was Curry rejected by some school teams before he became famous?

1.B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的However, due to a lack of size and strength at that time, many school didn＇t believe in his abilities or skills and refused to make him join their school basketball teams.可知,因为他身材矮小,看上去没有力气,所以被球队拒绝。

2.A　主旨大意题。根据第三、四段的内容,可以看出第三段主要介绍了库里的努力有了回报,在大学时进入了戴维森学院,2009年加入金州勇士队。第四段主要介绍他在NBA取得的成绩。故答案选A。

3.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的He sings his best notes and dances his best steps...We believe that he will bring us more surprises in the future.可知,作者是在赞扬他,故D正确。

Ⅱ.七选五 (2020江西南昌二中期中) Much of the work in today＇s world is accomplished(完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 　1　 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?  　2　 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team＇s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn＇t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team＇s performance.  To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions. 　3　 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team＇s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” 　4　  Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force. 　5　 An A-team may require a balance—not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.  A.It＇s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent. B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent. C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers＇ attention. D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship. E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent. G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball. 1.　　　 2.　　　 3.　　　 4.　　　 5.　　　  答案 [语篇解读]　这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了建立一支最佳团队比简单地雇用最优秀的人才要复杂得多。一支一流球队可能需要一种平衡——不仅仅是最好球员,也需要一些有雅量的普通球员。
