(2025·广东高三联考)
When Miss Lyons finished typing the rules, it was almost class time, and I was anxious to get down to the gym.I took the rules and made my way down the stairs.Just inside the door there was a bulletin board for notices.With thumb tacks (图钉) I fastened the rules to this board and then walked across the gym.I was sure in my own mind that the game was good, but it needed a real test.I felt that its success or failure depended largely on the way that the class received it.
The first member of the class to arrive was Frank Mahan.He was a southerner from North Carolina, had played tackle (阻截队员) on the football team, and was the ringleader of the group.He saw me standing with a ball in my hand, and perhaps guessed that another experiment was to be tried.He looked up at the basket at one end of the gallery, and then his eyes turned to me.He stared at me for an instant, and then looked towards the other end of the gym.Perhaps he was nervous, because his cry sounded like a death knell(丧钟声) as he said, “Huh! Another new game!”
When the class arrived, I called the roll and told them that I had another game, which I felt sure would be good.I promised them that if this was a failure, I would not try any more experiments.I then read the rules from the bulletin board and proceeded to organize the game.There were eighteen men in the class; I selected two captains and had them choose sides.When the teams were chosen, I placed the men on the floor.There were three forwards, three centers, and three backs on each team.I chose two of the center men to jump, then threw the ball between them.It was the start of the first basketball game and the end of the trouble with that class.

(2025·长沙适应)
For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who've never heard of pickleball, the littleknown paddleball game is one of America's fastestgrowing sports.
Invented in 1965 by three middleaged fathers in Washington State, pickleball is an odd cross among tennis, pingpong and badminton, played with a paddle and a perforated(穿孔的) plastic ball.The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.
Most of pickleball's core players — those who play more than eight times per year — are over age 65, but the game is getting younger, with the strongest growth among players under 55, according to US Pickleball.But with so many new players, the US is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts.The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by US Pickleball's count, but that continues to grow by several dozens every month.
Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport.Its first professional tournament, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights.Traditional broadcasters' interest in the sport is growing.So far, pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels, mostly online.
“The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented(前所未有的),” says Ben Shields, who lectures at MIT Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry.Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences, who has been the key to success for other sports leagues— that also started with grassroots and unusual names.“I think if pickleball, in its own humble way, can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product, who knows, 10 or 20 years later, it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国的板手球运动的快速发展。
5.What do we know about the pickleball game from the text?
A.It was named after a dog.
B.It was popular among young kids.
C.It's a cross between tennis and volleyball.
D.It was invented by three ordinary women.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.” 可知,板手球运动是以一条狗的名字命名的,故选A。
6.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The playing time.
B.The form of matches.
C.The number of courts.
D.The participation rate.
答案:C
