01 Period Ⅰ Welcome to the unit & Reading Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [山东济南2024高一期末] Everywhere and in every given time, children spend their days on simple but interesting games. One such game which has passed the test of time, becoming one of the oldest forms of child’s play ever known, is hoop rolling. Hoop rolling is both a child’s game and a sport. A large hoop is rolled along the ground, generally by means of an object held by the player to keep it rolling. The aim of the game is to keep the hoop upright for as long periods of time as possible. First, the left hand supports the hoop; the right hand holds the long handle of the hook （钩）. And then keep the balance of the hoop with the hook. Push the hoop to the ground, keep it rolling steadily and keep the hoop from falling. In the team competition, it is mainly about who is faster, and how far to roll. 刷阅读理解 2 Hoop rolling has a very long history and it has been recorded since ancient times in Africa, Asia and Europe. In Asia, the earliest records date from ancient China, and in Europe from ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks welcomed hoop rolling as a beneficial exercise for those not very strong. Besides, the game was also a common pastime of African village children. Hoop rolling serves as evidence of everyday life about the long-gone civilisation. Every year at Wellesley College, the hoop rolling competition started as an activity once held on its May Day celebration. Now it gradually becomes part of the graduation ceremony. Students celebrate by dressing up in children’s clothing and playing games. The child’s play popular in ancient times helps them escape from real-world worries. The long history of the game shows that there indeed are inventions that are timeless. The human ability to make himself and others happy has been present since the beginning of civilisation, and will be present forever. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种古老的儿童游戏——滚铁环。 1.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about hoop rolling?( ) A A.Its rules.

As his supportive fan, I watched him playing in all the matches across half of the USA this year, and I’ve learnt that losing may be best for kids. In his third season in 2022, my son’s team never lost more than three straight games. There was happiness, boasting, celebration, pizza. In short, it was a typically good youth hockey season. He improved as a player but did not much change as a person. However, what happened the next year added its story to the legends of sporting inability. Not only weak but prettily bad, this team lost 40 of their first 50 games, most of the defeats coming in the course of two losing streaks（连败）. For a time, I worried that these streaks would kill my child’s love of the game. But that’s not what happened. As bad as it got, the losing was clarifying. It weeded out （淘汰） the kids who were in it less for the game than the glory, leaving just the diehards 刷阅读理解 9 behind. What started as a list of 17 of the team was cut down to 12. It was especially instructive for the kids. It taught them a great truth of the world: For everyone good, there is someone better. What’s more, the kids were learning the game in a way that only losing can teach. Each player got to play everywhere, to learn and appreciate the role of every position on the ice. They kept an eye on their opponents too, studying and applying the tricks of success. In an effort to break the streak, they went back to basics, accepted the intelligence of the hockey ancients: An average team that plays like a team defeats a collection of all-stars. This new team had character and could never be counted out, no matter the score. They had learnt the most important lesson: You can lose without being beaten. They squeaked into the state game, then made it all the way to the final, where the winner was decided in overtime （加时赛）. When they lost that game and went into the handshake line, it was not as runners-up but as a team that had been made into winners in the only way that will stick—by losing. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述儿子在冰球队的比赛经历，谈论了失败和挫折在成长中的重要性。 1.What did the author think about his son’s team in the third season in 2022?( ) B A.It succeeded as a result of good luck.
