Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
During school life,Muhammad Tariq Khan developed an interest in playing badminton.Unfortunately,the school did not have a coach,so he had to teach himself the sport.His dedication helped him become an under 12 Pakistan Champion at the age of 10.
Coming from a workingclass family,Khan had to work in a factory to earn money for his family.But driven by his passion,Khan found out ways to watch other players play matches on the badminton court and he learned various techniques used by experienced players.Meanwhile,Khan practiced badminton by hitting the shuttlecock (羽毛球) against the walls of his home.Seeing his passion for the sport,his family bought him a net,a few wooden rackets,and a pack of shuttlecocks to practice at home.Later,Khan often practiced in an open court.To build up strength,he went on daily morning dash (短跑) by the riverside.
His intense practice sessions had made him so skilled that he courageously attacked and played against the topranked players.Soon he became a known player.Although he had a supportive family,he could not take up badminton as a fulltime career.In order to help his father with finances and shoulder responsibility for his brothers and sisters,he had to switch his focus to building a longlasting and stable career to sustain his family.After completing his degree in Bachelor of Commerce from Sindh University in 1964,he joined the Pakistan International Airlines in 1967.As an adult,he acknowledged the importance of his duties and performed them with great enthusiasm.Despite his daily office routine,Khan did not lose his passion for sports and played regularly.
The journey of Khan's achieving his goals is indeed challenging.His family had spent their initial days in a refugee (难民) camp.Khan ever walked long distances from college to his house to avoid using public transport to save cash to buy shuttlecocks.
Today he has been recognized by many reputable Pakistani platforms for his contribution to badminton.His personality is inspirational for many young individuals,who can learn from him the art of balancing life pressures and sticking to a passion!

All human societies play games.Kicking a ball can be found everywhere whether the ball is just a ball of cloth,or a skin stuffed with feathers or air.
But complex games and team sports have tended to arise in big civilizations — the higher the cultural level of a society is,the greater the complexity of the interaction is,and hence perhaps the more complex the forms of sports are.
This is not always the case.The ancient Greeks,for example,preferred the individual rather than team sports.But in China for well over 2,000 years,people played the game of “kickball”—cuju.The members were often young men from wealthy families though there were also professional kickball players.
Cuju was played as entertainment at court banquets or the reception of foreign ambassadors.Even emperors played kickball.
As you'd expect in a Confucian society,kickball clubs were keen on the key qualities of mercy and courtesy.A great player was one who showed “the spirit of the game”.The “Ten Essentials of Kickball” included respect for other players,polite behaviors and team spirit.There was to be no ungentlemanly behavior,no dangerous play,and no hogging(独占) the ball.In other words,as we used to say,“Play up and play the game.”
What a contrast with the ancient Greek athletics where only victory counted and if that needed gamesmanship,or cruel professional fouls(犯规),then so be it.
As a way of national culture protection,cuju was listed into the first batch of China's intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。复杂的比赛项目和团队运动往往出现在大的社会文明中,社会的文化水平越高,相互作用的复杂性就越大,因此可能体育的形式也就越复杂。文章通过比较古希腊人喜欢的个人运动和中国人喜欢的团体运动——蹴鞠来进行说明。

Ⅱ.七选五
The most important lesson that sports of all kinds teach us is the sense of discipline.A good sportsman must always learn to obey the rules of the games and the orders of the captain.Lawlessness has ruined many a promising career.The sportsman is never lawless. 1 He knows the value of the proverb—“He who knows how to obey will know how to command.”
Discipline goes hand in hand with duty.On the playground,each individual has his own duty to perform. 2 It is his duty to help in winning games by obeying his captain.Discipline,duty,obedience are the great moral triangle that contributes to a strong character.Another great virtue which sports help us acquire is the will to win.Life is a struggle,a constant fight against difficulties and disappointments.A sportsman takes defeats and disappointments as true parts of a game. 3 Today he is defeated,but he knows that tomorrow he may win.
4 Look at the rowers in a boat: how harmonious are their strokes (划桨动作)!If one of them misses his rhythm the harmony will be destroyed.It is the same in the football field ; the same everywhere.Unity of action is a great lesson which we can learn from sports. 5 The lessons learned on the playground will make us better soldiers in the battlefield of life.
A.He knows how to obey.
B.He has to carry out his share.
C.Health means a sound mind in a sound body.
D.He is not disheartened but prepares for a further effort.
E.The true sportsman knows also the value of team spirit.
F.They will inspire him to nerve himself to make greater efforts,to have stronger determination.
G.So sports are good for not only the body,but the mind and the character.
