But what do you know about James Naismith who invented the sport of basketball? James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861. Naismith was not good at study, but enjoyed farm work. He usually spent his days outside playing games. When he was nine, his parents died from a fever. Naismith lived with his grandmother and uncle for many years. In 1891, while working as a P. E. teacher in Springfield, the USA, Naismith was asked to make a game that would not take up much room, was not too rough (剧烈的) and could be played indoors. Naismith was inspired (启迪) by a game he played as a child in Canada called “Duck on a Rock”. In this game, players throw a small rock at a “duck” placed on top of a large rock in an attempt (尝试) to knock the “duck” off. The first game was played on December 21, 1891, with a basket nailed (钉) to either end of the school’s gym (体育馆), and two teams of nine players. The ball that they used was a soccer ball. The original (起初的) rules did not include what is known today as the dribble (带球), and only allowed the ball to be moved up or down the court (场地) by way of passes between players. On January 15th, 1892, the rules of the game were published in the newspaper. Naismith came to the end of his life on November 28th, 1939. But he lived to see basketball become an Olympic demonstration (表演) sport in 1904 and an official event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. 39.

A 40. C 41.

The defect happens when a baby’s top lip or mouth doesn’t form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning. Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations. A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available.” 42. Smile Train is a charity which ________. A. provides food and medical care for poor children B. raises money for all the doctors working in the UK. C. offers free medical help to children with the facial defect D. gives children without parents a new hope and a new beginning 43.

A. children with the facial defect are becoming more ashamed than before B. more doctors are trained to help children with the facial defect C. fewer baby boys with the facial defect are operated on than girls D. doctors in Smile Train are always well paid for doing the operations 【答案】42. C 43. A 44. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一个慈善团体——Smile Train，这个组织是帮助全世界那些患有面部缺陷儿童的，给他们提供手术，给这些孩子新的微笑、新的希望、新的开始。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷).”以及“The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.”可知，Smile Train是一个慈善团体，它帮助全世界那些患有面部缺陷的儿童，为他们提供免费手术。故选C。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not.”以及本句“In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations.”可知，父母为这样的孩子感到羞耻或者不能提供手术的费用，这些孩子们不被家人所接受，所以被遗弃了，划线部分的含义是“遗弃”。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available.”可知，经验丰富的医生与当地医生分享手术技术，可推知，B项“更多的医生被训练去帮助有面部缺陷的孩子们”符合。故选B。 D A few close friends walking through the city streets has become popular among young people in China.

People take photos, make videos and share their stories online. They tell others where they go and what they find. In this fast-paced world, young people are always working hard and they have little time for local exploration. Citywalk helps them have a warmer, more relaxing and slower-paced lifestyle.

But what do you know about James Naismith who invented the sport of basketball? James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861. Naismith was not good at study, but enjoyed farm work. He usually spent his days outside playing games. When he was nine, his parents died from a fever. Naismith lived with his grandmother and uncle for many years. In 1891, while working as a P. E. teacher in Springfield, the USA, Naismith was asked to make a game that would not take up much room, was not too rough (剧烈的) and could be played indoors. Naismith was inspired (启迪) by a game he played as a child in Canada called “Duck on a Rock”. In this game, players throw a small rock at a “duck” placed on top of a large rock in an attempt (尝试) to knock the “duck” off. The first game was played on December 21, 1891, with a basket nailed (钉) to either end of the school’s gym (体育馆), and two teams of nine players. The ball that they used was a soccer ball. The original (起初的) rules did not include what is known today as the dribble (带球), and only allowed the ball to be moved up or down the court (场地) by way of passes between players. On January 15th, 1892, the rules of the game were published in the newspaper. Naismith came to the end of his life on November 28th, 1939. But he lived to see basketball become an Olympic demonstration (表演) sport in 1904 and an official event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. 39. About Naismith’s early years, we know the following EXCEPT ________. A. Naismith was a top student at school when he was young B.

A. there was only one basket fixed on the wall B. ten players from both teams could take part in the game C. players could dribble the ball during the game D. a soccer ball was used instead of a basketball C Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby’s top lip or mouth doesn’t form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning. Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations. A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, “Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way make sure that these operations will always be available.” 42. Smile Train is a charity which ________.
