Passage One
Tracy McGrady is a real-life superstar. He spent the summer traveling in Europe, working with Adidas on his latest basketball shoe and playing with Team U.S.A. in an Olympic qualifying game. He also spent countless hours in the gym. “I work on things every day in the off-season, ”says McGrady, 24, an All-Star guard with the National Basketball Association’s Orlando Magic.
Until McGrady was 17, few outside his tiny hometown knew of his skills. He was raised mostly by his grandmother in a rough part of town. Sports were his escapes. To gain more exposure for his basketball skills, McGrady transferred to play his senior season at Mount Zion Christian Academy in North Carolina. After leading the Mighty Warriors to a 26-2 record that season, McGrady was named Player of the Year by a national newspaper.
At 18, McGrady was starring for Toronto by the end of his new players’ season. But he wanted to become one of the NBA’s elite (精英), so he hired a trainer and beban intense workouts. It’s not uncommon for McGrady, who signed with Orlando in 2002, to shoot 200 jumpers after practice, grab a healthy bite to eat and go to work out with the Los Angeles Lakers’ Shaquille O’Neal, who owns a home in Orlando.
“He’s stayed at a high level, ”Orlando coach Doc Rivers says of McGrady. “A lot of young players can play a good 20 minutes, or have a great month. Tracy does it all season on both ends.”
To be that good takes a lot of work. To be better takes even more. McGrady is ready for the challenge, because he knows what he wants. “I don’t want to be one of those players that’s known for being a great player that never won a championship, ”McGrady says. “I want a title.”
16. Whnich of the following teams has McGrady NOT so far played for? A. Team U.S.A. B. Los Angeles Lakers. C. The Mighty Warriors. D. Orlando Magic.
17. The sentence “I work on things every day in the off-season”(Line 3,Paragraph 1)implies that ____________.
A. McGrady practices other things more often than he does with basketball B. McGrady keeps on his skills training particularly hard in the off-season days C. McGrady keeps on training with other exercises than with basketball D. McGrady practices his skills every day including the off-season time 18. McGrady is different from other players mainly in__________. A. his particular shooting skills in playing basketball B. his trying to save every minute to work out with O’Neal C. his persistence in constant hard training D. his stronger desire for a title than other players
19. McGrady was honored Player of the Year by a national newspaper because _______.
A. he has stayed at a high level of training
B. he has created a record among the best players that season C. he was well ready for the coming challenge D. he is regarded as an All-Star guard with the NBA
20. The sentence “Sports were his escapes ”(Line 2, Paragraph 2) can best mean that _________.
a. sporting activities were the means for him to get fullest happiness by B. physical exercises were the only way to relieve him of his pains C. he didn’t want to do more things than sportive activities D. sports enabled him to run away from his hometown
Passage Two
Last December’s earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toll-roughly 40,000 people-largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud-brick buildings, If a group of researchers in India are successful, the earthquake might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material:bamboo.
