THE ROAD TO SUCCESS 1 Near the small town of Grottoes,Virginia,a narrow dirt road goes ⑤ from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from ⑥ the bright lights and shiny ⑦ courts of the National Basketball Association ⑧ (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to ⑨ a telephone pole([强调句型]It is/was...that...,本句强调地点状语along this road。). 2 Like his father,basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy ⑩ basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time,but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible ⑪ as a player(where引导的表语从句,where在从句中作地点状语。).You see,with every shot ⑫,the weak plastic backboard ⑬ gave way ⑭.The bumps ⑮ and rocks that lined ⑯ the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce ⑰ in all directions ⑱ .Knowing where the ball would go(动词-ing结构作主语。"where the ball would go"为where引导的宾语从句,作knowing的宾语。)wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result.Shooting with great accuracy ⑲ (动词-ing短语作主语。) was another thing he learnt(省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词another thing。).Only shots perfectly aimed at ⑳ its centre(动词-ed短语作后置定语,修饰shots。)went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way,practising day in and day out ㉑ helped Stephen sharpen his skills ㉒ . 3 Despite his father’s successful career,Stephen was thought by many people,including his high school teammates ㉓ and coaches,to be too short,too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps ㉔.But Stephen carried on ㉕ .Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up ㉖ playing college ball at a small,little-known school,Davidson College,not too far from where he lived(where引导的宾语从句,作介词from的宾语。). His creativity and perseverance ㉘ made him Davidson’s star player("make+宾语+宾补"结构,宾补为名词短语Davidson’s star player。). 4 Selected for the NBA(动词-ed短语作状语,主语Stephen与select之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。) in 2009,Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations ㉙ with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts ㉚ .In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship,and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. 5 After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row ㉛ ,Stephen explained his philosophy ㉜,"I never really set out to ㉝ change the game…What I wanted to do(what引导的主语从句,what作do的宾语。) was just be myself(此处作表语,just后面省略了to。主语从句中含有实义动词do,作表语的动词不定式省略to。)…I know it inspires a lot of the next generation,a lot of people who love the game of basketball(who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词people。) to value the skill of it,value the fact that you can work every single day to get better(that引导的同位语从句,作the fact的同位语。).You’ve got to be able to put in ㉞ the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day."Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof ㉟ that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become.Through self-belief ㊱ ,hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop ㊲ ,he has shown that anything is possible. 成功之路 1 在弗吉尼亚州格罗托斯小镇附近,一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里祖父的家延伸到附近的树林。这与美国职业篮球联赛(NBA)耀眼的灯光和闪亮的球场相差甚远。就在这条路旁,斯蒂芬的祖父在一根电线杆上固定了一块塑料,做了一个简单的篮筐。 2 像他的父亲——篮球明星戴尔·库里——一样,斯蒂芬在这个泥泞的篮球场上度过了许多童年时光。他当时可能没有意识到这一点,但在那里他学会了作为一名球员该有的创造力和灵活性。你看,每一次投篮,不牢固的塑料篮板都会往下歪斜。篮筐下,沿路的隆起与石子都会导致球弹向四面八方。知道球会去哪里并不容易。因此,他不得不调整自己的打球风格。精准投篮是他学到的另一件事情。只有完全瞄准中心,才能射入又重又厚的篮筐。就这样,日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。 3 尽管斯蒂芬父亲的事业很成功,但许多人,包括他的高中队友和教练,都认为斯蒂芬太矮、太瘦、太弱,无法追随他父亲的脚步。但斯蒂芬坚持住了。打篮球是他的梦想。他不会放弃。最后,他在离他住所不太远的一所鲜为人知的小学校戴维森学院打球。他的创造力和毅力使他成为戴维森的明星球员。 4 斯蒂芬2009年入选NBA,加盟金州勇士队。他精准的投篮和不懈努力使他的表现超出了所有人的预料。2015年,斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军,并带领勇士队获得了1975年以来的第一个总冠军。 5 连续两年获得最有价值球员奖后,斯蒂芬阐明他的人生哲学,"我从未真正着手改变比赛……我只想做我自己……我知道它激励了很多后辈、很多热爱篮球运动的人,让他们重视篮球技巧,重视这个事实,即你每一天都能努力让自己变得更好。你必须肯投入时间和工夫。这就是我走到今天的方法,也是我每一天持续变得更好的原因。" 斯蒂芬·库里激励别人相信自己,他是证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么样的人的活生生的例子。通过自信、苦干、毅力和旧篮筐的一些帮助,他证明了一切皆有可能。 课文重点词汇 ①the best ball handler(=the best passer) 最佳控球手 ②play on the wing 打边锋 wing n.[C]熟词生义(运动场地的)远端边侧 ③athletic /æθˈletɪk/ adj.健壮的 派生构词 athlete(/ˈæθli:t/n.运动员)+-ic(后缀,可构成形容词,意为"……的,像……的")→athletic(adj.) ④key n.[C]熟词生义 罚球区 ⑤go vi.熟词生义(从……)通向,延伸到 ⑥a far cry from… 和……相去甚远 The environment of a city is a far cry from that of the countryside. 城市和农村的环境大不相同。 ⑦shiny /ˈʃaɪni/ adj.闪亮的;有光泽的 shine vi.发光,发亮 ⑧association /əˌsəʊʃiˈeɪʃn/ n.

Read the passage and find out about the events mentioned. Setting a scene(动词-ing短语作主语。)involves establishing the time and place where events take place and describing any main sights and sounds(由and连接的两个并列的动词-ing短语作involves的宾语;其中"where events take place"是定语从句,修饰先行词place。) ② . The scene you set at the beginning of your writing(省略了关系词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词the scene。)—whether it is fiction or non-fiction—will engage your readers and help set the right atmosphere for the remainder ③ of your writing. Learning to learn An essay title often contains an explicit or implicit question which your essay should focus on answering. For example, the title "Franklin’s Experiment: How Much Is True?" makes it clear what question is being answered within the essay(it是形式宾语,what引导的从句是真正的宾语。). The Return of the Champions 1 "The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is electric ④ !If China wins this point ⑤ ,they will walk out of the stadium with an Olympic gold medal. Zhang Changning serves ⑥.Over the net ⑦,Popovic dives for ⑧ the ball. She only just reaches it…and it’s sent straight ⑨ back to her by the Chinese spiker ⑩ Hui Ruoqi. Popovic can’t get the ball back this time…and that’s it ⑪ ! It’s over!It’s gold for China! Look how the crowd has gone wild ⑫ . You can see the joy and pride on the faces of the Chinese fans. And there we see the Chinese players embracing ⑬ ("see+宾语+宾补(doing)"结构,意为"看到某人正在做……"。),with tears of happiness in their eyes(with复合结构(with+宾语+介词短语),在句中作状语,表示伴随。)… It’s a dream come true ⑭ for China!The Chinese women’s volleyball team is Olympic champion once again!" 2 The Chinese women’s volleyball team holds a very special place ⑮ in the nation’s heart. In the 1980s,the team burst onto ⑯ the international volleyball scene ⑰ with several major world titles ⑱, and an amazing three-set ⑲ victory over the United States in the final of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. They became national heroes overnight ⑳ .There was gold once more at Athens in 2004.But winning gold in Rio paints the most vivid portrait of ㉑ the team’s competitive spirit. 3 In Rio,the Chinese women’s volleyball team needed all of its fighting spirit after it was assigned ㉒ to the "group of death ㉓ ", where it faced several strong opponents ㉔ in the group stage matches(where引导的非限制性定语从句,其先行词为the "group of death",where在从句中作地点状语。).Despite reaching the quarter-finals ㉕ as the fourth team in the group,with just two wins in preliminary matches ㉖ ,they were not going to give up. Every single member of the team gave their all ㉗ to the fight,including Hui Ruoqi who had had heart surgery ㉘ less than five months previously. 4 Their perseverance paid off ㉙ with an epic ㉚ comeback ㉛ against the defending champion ㉜ Brazil in the quarter-finals. Next, the Chinese team defeated ㉝ the Netherlands in the semi-final matches ㉞ ,having lost to them in the preliminaries(动词-ing短语的完成式作时间状语,相当于一个状语从句"after the Chinese team lost to them in the preliminaries"。). At last,showing a strong will and the steeliest nerves(动词-ing短语作状语。) ㉟,they played a close match ㊱ against Serbia to seize ㊲ gold in the final. 5 But fighting spirit alone was not enough to guarantee victory. Strong team spirit also contributed greatly to ㊳ their success. Cooperation ㊴ between team members is essential. If each individual does her job ㊵ and works well with ㊶ others,then the end goal can be achieved. In fact,strong team spirit is more important than the skills of individual players. Zhu Ting,named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics(动词-ed短语作后置定语,相当于一个定语从句"who was named…Olympics"。),also identified this(指代strong team spirit。) as ㊷ the special ingredient ㊸ in the team’s success:"Teamwork is the key to ㊹ China’s victory. Thanks to my teammates’ hard efforts,I had the opportunity to show my spiking skills." 6 Together, the Chinese women’s volleyball team has fought their way ㊺ through ups and downs ㊻ . Led by well-known Chinese volleyball player and coach Lang Ping(动词-ed短语作状语。), they have continued to aim high ㊼ .Lang is only too ㊽ aware that as soon as a team steps ㊾ off the victory podium ㊿ ,they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead.In this way,the team begins its journey to the next Olympics. 冠军归来 1 "这里是里约热内卢,现场气氛紧张而热烈!如果中国队拿下这一分,她们将赢得这枚奥运金牌,张常宁发球。球过网,波波维奇倒地接球,险险救起……中国队主攻惠若琪将球扣回,波波维奇这次没能接住球……得分!比赛结束!中国队获得了金牌!看,观众沸腾了。你能看到中国球迷的脸上洋溢着喜悦和骄傲。我们看到中国队的队员们眼含幸福的热泪,相拥在一起……中国人实现了梦想!中国女排重回奥运之巅!" 2 在中国人的心中,中国女排的地位非比寻常。二十世纪八十年代,中国女排赢得了多场世界大赛,并在1984年洛杉矶奥运会的决赛中,以惊人的三连胜击败了美国队,在国际排坛大放异彩。一夜之间,中国女排成为国民英雄。到了2004年雅典奥运会,女将们再一次斩获金牌。但是,对于女排的拼搏精神最生动的写照,却是这次在里约的夺冠之路。 3 里约奥运会上,中国女排被分到了"死亡之组"。因此她们必须拼尽全力,对抗小组赛中遇到的强劲对手。虽然预赛中仅赢了两场,到四分之一决赛时还是小组第四,但女排姑娘们从未想过放弃。每一个队员都全身心地投入比赛,包括赛前不到五个月刚做完心脏手术的惠若琪。 4 中国队的顽强毅力得到了回报,在四分之一决赛对抗卫冕冠军巴西队时,她们完成了史诗般的逆转。接着,中国队在半决赛中战胜了在预赛中曾惜败过的荷兰队。决赛时,虽然与塞尔维亚队比分胶着,但凭借着强大的决心和钢铁般的意志力,中国队最终勇夺桂冠。 5 但是仅凭拼搏精神不足以锁定胜局。强大的团队精神也是中国女排成功的一大因素。 团队成员之间的合作至关重要。如果每一名队员都能完成自己的任务, 并与队友合作无间,就能实现最终目标。其实,强大的团队精神比队员的个人能力更重要。里约奥运会"最有价值球员"奖项得主朱婷,也认为这是团队获胜的诀窍:"团队合作是中国队制胜的关键。多亏了队友们的努力拼搏,才给了我展现扣球技术的机会。" 6 在这条曲折起伏的道路上,中国女排共同奋力前行。作为知名的中国女排前运动员和现任中国女排总教练,郎平带领着队员们不断力争上游。郎平很清楚,只要走下了领奖台,她们这支队伍就得重新出发,严阵以待,迎接新的挑战。中国女排的下一段奥运旅程,就这样开始了。 课文重点词汇 ①team sports 团队运动 individual sports 个人运动 ②sights and sounds 情景 ③remainder /rɪˈmeɪndə(r)/ n.剩余部分,剩余物 词链 remain (vi.剩余,遗留linking verb仍然是)—remainder (n.)—remains (n.[pl.]剩余物,剩饭菜;遗迹,遗址)—remaining (adj.留下的,剩余的) ④electric adj.熟词生义 扣人心弦的,高度刺激的 ⑤point n.[C]熟词生义 得分 ⑥serve vi.& vt.熟词生义 发(球) ⑦net /net/ n.[sing.]球网;[U] 网,网状物 ⑧dive for… 扑向…… ⑨straight adv.直接,径直,立即 ⑩spiker /ˈspaɪkə/ n.[C]主攻手,(排球队的)扣球队员 ⑪that’s it(表示某人正确或做得对)就是这样,正是如此,对啦 ⑫go wild 兴奋,狂热 go 在此处为系动词,意为"变得"。 ⑬embrace /ɪmˈbreɪs/ vi.& vt.抱,拥抱 ⑭be a dream come true 美梦成真;梦想成真 ⑮hold a/an…place 占有……的位置 ⑯burst onto 突然出现在……(指突然成功) burst /bɜ:st/ vi.突然出现 ⑰scene n.熟词生义 [sing.]活动领域,圈子,界,坛 ⑱title n.[C]熟词生义(竞赛、体育比赛的)冠军 ⑲three-set adj.三局的 set熟词生义 n.

Winning gold in Rio was the most vivid reflection of the team􀆳s  2 (competition) spirit.   In Rio, the Chinese women􀆳s volleyball team  3  (assign) to the “group of death”, in  4  it faced several strong opponents in the group stage matches. However, they didn􀆳t give up.  5 (final), they played a close match against Serbia to seize gold in the final.   But fighting spirit alone was not enough  6 (guarantee)victory.

Yet they are often accompanied by an emotional breakdown. Emotions (feelings) are heightened by the nature of the event itself. The Olympics are a massive cultural event — a combination of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage. New international celebrities (famous men) are created, and some competitors’ fame is ruined during various accusations. Athletes are under the pressure of representing their country and winning medals in front of worldwide audience. “But then all of that publicity and intensity around being an Olympian will fall off very quickly,” says Cogan, a lead sport psychologist. It’s more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you make it, it’s like, “Now what?” A 2023 paper explained the identity crisis(身份危机)athletes face as a result of overfocus on performance, leaving their non-sporting personalities underdeveloped. In a 2018 paper, Howells wrote that athletes with a greater “myopic” focus are more in danger of “the blues”. “It is common for top competitors to have this very high athletic identity,” says Howells. “They’ve sacrificed(牺牲)every other aspect of their identity for the purpose of being an Olympian. They seem unable to realize that their actions might have negative results in the future.”   Efforts to minimize this mindset have helped some athletes to open up more about their mental health. Experts advise Olympians to start conversations about mental health support well before the Games begin. Olympians should also discuss mental health monitoring strategies before, during and after the Games. Athletes and experts say the sporting industry has, in the last ten years, been promoting better work-life balance outside of the Games. Briana, a soccer goalkeeper, says that her team and coaches actively encourage spending quality time with families and friends, as well as finding hobbies that make them feel joyful. 1.What is the main cause for Olympic athletes’ mental breakdown? A.A sense of loss.  B.The pressure of competition. C.The media coverage.  D.The audience’s attention. 2.What does the underlined word “myopic” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Unbelievable.  B.All-around.  .Short-sighted.  D.Unexpected. 3.What might be a good solution to the athletes’ identity crisis? A.Having higher athletic identity. B.Discussing their problems publicly. C.Developing a sense of identity outside the sport. D.Making greater achievements in the sporting industry. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.From Bad to Worse: Athletes’ Well-being  B.From Hero to Zero: the Post-Olympic Blues C.Olympic Athletes Challenging Gold Medals  D.Olympic Athletes Suffering from Stress B (2025黑龙江龙东联盟期中) Basketball is a team sport which requires excellent cooperation and teamwork among teammates. A good pass is very important in the basketball game. The pass is the action of moving the ball to create scoring opportunities.  1  The following are some ways of doing that.   The chest pass is a quick and accurate pass from the chest of the passer to the receiver.  2  You should extend your arms in a quick motion to pass the ball with palms(手掌)facing outwards and thumbs facing the player you passed to. This is called follow-through(随球动作).   3  It is relatively easy to steal, but an effective way of starting a fast break(快攻). Place your hands on both sides of the ball and bring the ball behind your head. Use your upper body strength to make the pass and follow-through.  In a bounce pass, the ball is bounced from the floor before reaching the receiver of the pass. The ball should bounce from that spot to arrive at your receiver above the knees and below the chest.  4   A baseball pass is best used for long distance passes.  5  But it is especially useful during fast breaks. Place the ball high above your head with your passing hand behind it and the other under the ball. Throw the ball with an overhand arm thrust(猛推).  Practice these passes and you are sure to become an offensive threat on the court. A.Power comes from the legs. B.It sacrifices accuracy because of the distance. C.The audience will cheer for the team with enthusiasm. D.In other words, the ball should arrive at the receiver’s waist. E.It is the most effective pass and fastest way to move the ball. F.An overhead pass is a pass thrown with both hands over your head. G.An effective pass is a combination of good timing, speed and accuracy. 1.    2.    3.    4.    5.     2 / 14 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $ 专题05 选择性必修第一册Unit 3 Faster, higher, stronger 课文讲解 序号 要点聚焦 考点一 Unit 3 Faster, higher, stronger课文解读1 课文重点词汇 课文结构 考点二 Unit 3 Faster, higher, stronger课文解读2 课文重点词汇 考点三 Unit 3 Faster, higher, stronger课文知识解析 深|研|精|炼 考点一 Unit 3 Faster, higher, stronger 课文解读1 Understanding ideas 原文呈现 1.Research online and match the five basketball positions to their descriptions.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS 1 Near the small town of Grottoes,Virginia,a narrow dirt road goes ⑤ from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from ⑥ the bright lights and shiny ⑦ courts of the National Basketball Association ⑧ (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to ⑨ a telephone pole([强调句型]It is/was...that...,本句强调地点状语along this road。). 2 Like his father,basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy ⑩ basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time,but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible ⑪ as a player(where引导的表语从句,where在从句中作地点状语。).You see,with every shot ⑫,the weak plastic backboard ⑬ gave way ⑭.The bumps ⑮ and rocks that lined ⑯ the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce ⑰ in all directions ⑱ .Knowing where the ball would go(动词-ing结构作主语。"where the ball would go"为where引导的宾语从句,作knowing的宾语。)wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result.Shooting with great accuracy ⑲ (动词-ing短语作主语。) was another thing he learnt(省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词another thing。).Only shots perfectly aimed at ⑳ its centre(动词-ed短语作后置定语,修饰shots。)went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way,practising day in and day out ㉑ helped Stephen sharpen his skills ㉒ . 3 Despite his father’s successful career,Stephen was thought by many people,including his high school teammates ㉓ and coaches,to be too short,too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps ㉔.But Stephen carried on ㉕ .Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up ㉖ playing college ball at a small,little-known school,Davidson College,not too far from where he lived(where引导的宾语从句,作介词from的宾语。). His creativity and perseverance ㉘ made him Davidson’s star player("make+宾语+宾补"结构,宾补为名词短语Davidson’s star player。). 4 Selected for the NBA(动词-ed短语作状语,主语Stephen与select之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。) in 2009,Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations ㉙ with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts ㉚ .In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship,and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. 5 After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row ㉛ ,Stephen explained his philosophy ㉜,"I never really set out to ㉝ change the game…What I wanted to do(what引导的主语从句,what作do的宾语。) was just be myself(此处作表语,just后面省略了to。主语从句中含有实义动词do,作表语的动词不定式省略to。)…I know it inspires a lot of the next generation,a lot of people who love the game of basketball(who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词people。) to value the skill of it,value the fact that you can work every single day to get better(that引导的同位语从句,作the fact的同位语。).You’ve got to be able to put in ㉞ the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day."Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof ㉟ that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become.Through self-belief ㊱ ,hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop ㊲ ,he has shown that anything is possible. 成功之路 1 在弗吉尼亚州格罗托斯小镇附近,一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里祖父的家延伸到附近的树林。这与美国职业篮球联赛(NBA)耀眼的灯光和闪亮的球场相差甚远。就在这条路旁,斯蒂芬的祖父在一根电线杆上固定了一块塑料,做了一个简单的篮筐。 2 像他的父亲——篮球明星戴尔·库里——一样,斯蒂芬在这个泥泞的篮球场上度过了许多童年时光。他当时可能没有意识到这一点,但在那里他学会了作为一名球员该有的创造力和灵活性。你看,每一次投篮,不牢固的塑料篮板都会往下歪斜。篮筐下,沿路的隆起与石子都会导致球弹向四面八方。知道球会去哪里并不容易。因此,他不得不调整自己的打球风格。精准投篮是他学到的另一件事情。只有完全瞄准中心,才能射入又重又厚的篮筐。就这样,日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。 3 尽管斯蒂芬父亲的事业很成功,但许多人,包括他的高中队友和教练,都认为斯蒂芬太矮、太瘦、太弱,无法追随他父亲的脚步。但斯蒂芬坚持住了。打篮球是他的梦想。他不会放弃。最后,他在离他住所不太远的一所鲜为人知的小学校戴维森学院打球。他的创造力和毅力使他成为戴维森的明星球员。 4 斯蒂芬2009年入选NBA,加盟金州勇士队。他精准的投篮和不懈努力使他的表现超出了所有人的预料。2015年,斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军,并带领勇士队获得了1975年以来的第一个总冠军。 5 连续两年获得最有价值球员奖后,斯蒂芬阐明他的人生哲学,"我从未真正着手改变比赛……我只想做我自己……我知道它激励了很多后辈、很多热爱篮球运动的人,让他们重视篮球技巧,重视这个事实,即你每一天都能努力让自己变得更好。你必须肯投入时间和工夫。这就是我走到今天的方法,也是我每一天持续变得更好的原因。" 斯蒂芬·库里激励别人相信自己,他是证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么样的人的活生生的例子。通过自信、苦干、毅力和旧篮筐的一些帮助,他证明了一切皆有可能。 课文重点词汇 ①the best ball handler(=the best passer) 最佳控球手 ②play on the wing 打边锋 wing n.[C]熟词生义(运动场地的)远端边侧 ③athletic /æθˈletɪk/ adj.健壮的 派生构词 athlete(/ˈæθli:t/n.运动员)+-ic(后缀,可构成形容词,意为"……的,像……的")→athletic(adj.) ④key n.[C]熟词生义 罚球区 ⑤go vi.熟词生义(从……)通向,延伸到 ⑥a far cry from… 和……相去甚远 The environment of a city is a far cry from that of the countryside. 城市和农村的环境大不相同。 ⑦shiny /ˈʃaɪni/ adj.闪亮的;有光泽的 shine vi.发光,发亮 ⑧association /əˌsəʊʃiˈeɪʃn/ n.

Learning to learn An essay title often contains an explicit or implicit question which your essay should focus on answering. For example, the title "Franklin’s Experiment: How Much Is True?" makes it clear what question is being answered within the essay(it是形式宾语,what引导的从句是真正的宾语。). The Return of the Champions 1 "The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is electric ④ !If China wins this point ⑤ ,they will walk out of the stadium with an Olympic gold medal. Zhang Changning serves ⑥.Over the net ⑦,Popovic dives for ⑧ the ball. She only just reaches it…and it’s sent straight ⑨ back to her by the Chinese spiker ⑩ Hui Ruoqi. Popovic can’t get the ball back this time…and that’s it ⑪ ! It’s over!It’s gold for China! Look how the crowd has gone wild ⑫ . You can see the joy and pride on the faces of the Chinese fans. And there we see the Chinese players embracing ⑬ ("see+宾语+宾补(doing)"结构,意为"看到某人正在做……"。),with tears of happiness in their eyes(with复合结构(with+宾语+介词短语),在句中作状语,表示伴随。)… It’s a dream come true ⑭ for China!The Chinese women’s volleyball team is Olympic champion once again!" 2 The Chinese women’s volleyball team holds a very special place ⑮ in the nation’s heart. In the 1980s,the team burst onto ⑯ the international volleyball scene ⑰ with several major world titles ⑱, and an amazing three-set ⑲ victory over the United States in the final of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. They became national heroes overnight ⑳ .There was gold once more at Athens in 2004.But winning gold in Rio paints the most vivid portrait of ㉑ the team’s competitive spirit. 3 In Rio,the Chinese women’s volleyball team needed all of its fighting spirit after it was assigned ㉒ to the "group of death ㉓ ", where it faced several strong opponents ㉔ in the group stage matches(where引导的非限制性定语从句,其先行词为the "group of death",where在从句中作地点状语。).Despite reaching the quarter-finals ㉕ as the fourth team in the group,with just two wins in preliminary matches ㉖ ,they were not going to give up. Every single member of the team gave their all ㉗ to the fight,including Hui Ruoqi who had had heart surgery ㉘ less than five months previously. 4 Their perseverance paid off ㉙ with an epic ㉚ comeback ㉛ against the defending champion ㉜ Brazil in the quarter-finals. Next, the Chinese team defeated ㉝ the Netherlands in the semi-final matches ㉞ ,having lost to them in the preliminaries(动词-ing短语的完成式作时间状语,相当于一个状语从句"after the Chinese team lost to them in the preliminaries"。). At last,showing a strong will and the steeliest nerves(动词-ing短语作状语。) ㉟,they played a close match ㊱ against Serbia to seize ㊲ gold in the final. 5 But fighting spirit alone was not enough to guarantee victory. Strong team spirit also contributed greatly to ㊳ their success. Cooperation ㊴ between team members is essential. If each individual does her job ㊵ and works well with ㊶ others,then the end goal can be achieved. In fact,strong team spirit is more important than the skills of individual players. Zhu Ting,named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics(动词-ed短语作后置定语,相当于一个定语从句"who was named…Olympics"。),also identified this(指代strong team spirit。) as ㊷ the special ingredient ㊸ in the team’s success:"Teamwork is the key to ㊹ China’s victory. Thanks to my teammates’ hard efforts,I had the opportunity to show my spiking skills." 6 Together, the Chinese women’s volleyball team has fought their way ㊺ through ups and downs ㊻ . Led by well-known Chinese volleyball player and coach Lang Ping(动词-ed短语作状语。), they have continued to aim high ㊼ .Lang is only too ㊽ aware that as soon as a team steps ㊾ off the victory podium ㊿ ,they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead.In this way,the team begins its journey to the next Olympics. 冠军归来 1 "这里是里约热内卢,现场气氛紧张而热烈!如果中国队拿下这一分,她们将赢得这枚奥运金牌,张常宁发球。球过网,波波维奇倒地接球,险险救起……中国队主攻惠若琪将球扣回,波波维奇这次没能接住球……得分!比赛结束!中国队获得了金牌!看,观众沸腾了。你能看到中国球迷的脸上洋溢着喜悦和骄傲。我们看到中国队的队员们眼含幸福的热泪,相拥在一起……中国人实现了梦想!中国女排重回奥运之巅!" 2 在中国人的心中,中国女排的地位非比寻常。二十世纪八十年代,中国女排赢得了多场世界大赛,并在1984年洛杉矶奥运会的决赛中,以惊人的三连胜击败了美国队,在国际排坛大放异彩。一夜之间,中国女排成为国民英雄。到了2004年雅典奥运会,女将们再一次斩获金牌。但是,对于女排的拼搏精神最生动的写照,却是这次在里约的夺冠之路。 3 里约奥运会上,中国女排被分到了"死亡之组"。因此她们必须拼尽全力,对抗小组赛中遇到的强劲对手。虽然预赛中仅赢了两场,到四分之一决赛时还是小组第四,但女排姑娘们从未想过放弃。每一个队员都全身心地投入比赛,包括赛前不到五个月刚做完心脏手术的惠若琪。 4 中国队的顽强毅力得到了回报,在四分之一决赛对抗卫冕冠军巴西队时,她们完成了史诗般的逆转。接着,中国队在半决赛中战胜了在预赛中曾惜败过的荷兰队。决赛时,虽然与塞尔维亚队比分胶着,但凭借着强大的决心和钢铁般的意志力,中国队最终勇夺桂冠。 5 但是仅凭拼搏精神不足以锁定胜局。强大的团队精神也是中国女排成功的一大因素。 团队成员之间的合作至关重要。如果每一名队员都能完成自己的任务, 并与队友合作无间,就能实现最终目标。其实,强大的团队精神比队员的个人能力更重要。里约奥运会"最有价值球员"奖项得主朱婷,也认为这是团队获胜的诀窍:"团队合作是中国队制胜的关键。多亏了队友们的努力拼搏,才给了我展现扣球技术的机会。" 6 在这条曲折起伏的道路上,中国女排共同奋力前行。作为知名的中国女排前运动员和现任中国女排总教练,郎平带领着队员们不断力争上游。郎平很清楚,只要走下了领奖台,她们这支队伍就得重新出发,严阵以待,迎接新的挑战。中国女排的下一段奥运旅程,就这样开始了。 课文重点词汇 ①team sports 团队运动 individual sports 个人运动 ②sights and sounds 情景 ③remainder /rɪˈmeɪndə(r)/ n.剩余部分,剩余物 词链 remain (vi.剩余,遗留linking verb仍然是)—remainder (n.)—remains (n.[pl.]剩余物,剩饭菜;遗迹,遗址)—remaining (adj.留下的,剩余的) ④electric adj.熟词生义 扣人心弦的,高度刺激的 ⑤point n.[C]熟词生义 得分 ⑥serve vi.& vt.熟词生义 发(球) ⑦net /net/ n.[sing.]球网;[U] 网,网状物 ⑧dive for… 扑向…… ⑨straight adv.直接,径直,立即 ⑩spiker /ˈspaɪkə/ n.[C]主攻手,(排球队的)扣球队员 ⑪that’s it(表示某人正确或做得对)就是这样,正是如此,对啦 ⑫go wild 兴奋,狂热 go 在此处为系动词,意为"变得"。 ⑬embrace /ɪmˈbreɪs/ vi.& vt.抱,拥抱 ⑭be a dream come true 美梦成真;梦想成真 ⑮hold a/an…place 占有……的位置 ⑯burst onto 突然出现在……(指突然成功) burst /bɜ:st/ vi.突然出现 ⑰scene n.熟词生义 [sing.]活动领域,圈子,界,坛 ⑱title n.[C]熟词生义(竞赛、体育比赛的)冠军 ⑲three-set adj.三局的 set熟词生义 n.

Yet they are often accompanied by an emotional breakdown. Emotions (feelings) are heightened by the nature of the event itself. The Olympics are a massive cultural event — a combination of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage. New international celebrities (famous men) are created, and some competitors’ fame is ruined during various accusations. Athletes are under the pressure of representing their country and winning medals in front of worldwide audience. “But then all of that publicity and intensity around being an Olympian will fall off very quickly,” says Cogan, a lead sport psychologist. It’s more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you make it, it’s like, “Now what?” A 2023 paper explained the identity crisis(身份危机)athletes face as a result of overfocus on performance, leaving their non-sporting personalities underdeveloped. In a 2018 paper, Howells wrote that athletes with a greater “myopic” focus are more in danger of “the blues”. “It is common for top competitors to have this very high athletic identity,” says Howells. “They’ve sacrificed(牺牲)every other aspect of their identity for the purpose of being an Olympian. They seem unable to realize that their actions might have negative results in the future.”   Efforts to minimize this mindset have helped some athletes to open up more about their mental health. Experts advise Olympians to start conversations about mental health support well before the Games begin. Olympians should also discuss mental health monitoring strategies before, during and after the Games. Athletes and experts say the sporting industry has, in the last ten years, been promoting better work-life balance outside of the Games. Briana, a soccer goalkeeper, says that her team and coaches actively encourage spending quality time with families and friends, as well as finding hobbies that make them feel joyful. 1.What is the main cause for Olympic athletes’ mental breakdown? A.A sense of loss.  B.The pressure of competition. C.The media coverage.  D.The audience’s attention. 2.What does the underlined word “myopic” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Unbelievable.  B.All-around.  .Short-sighted.  D.Unexpected. 3.What might be a good solution to the athletes’ identity crisis? A.Having higher athletic identity. B.Discussing their problems publicly. C.Developing a sense of identity outside the sport. D.Making greater achievements in the sporting industry. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.From Bad to Worse: Athletes’ Well-being  B.From Hero to Zero: the Post-Olympic Blues C.Olympic Athletes Challenging Gold Medals  D.Olympic Athletes Suffering from Stress 语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了奥运会运动员们的表现备受瞩目,而专家也关注到了他们的会后心理健康问题,努力帮助他们减少运动会后的失落感,建议运动员找到运动之外的个人价值。 【高频词汇】 1.accompany v.伴随 2.breakdown n.(精神)崩溃 3.heighten v.(使)加强,提高 4.media coverage媒体报道 5.the blues 忧郁,沮丧 6.minimize v.使最小化,使减少到最低限度 7.monitor v.监控;监测 1.【答案】A  【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you make it, it’s like, ‘Now what?’(这更像是绘制一张如何到达目的地的地图。一旦你完成了,就会想:‘接下来呢?’)”可知,奥运会运动员精神崩溃的主要原因是失落感。故选A。 2.【答案】C  【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的 “A 2023 paper explained...focus are more in danger of ‘the blues’.”以及“They’ve sacrificed...in the future.”可知,此处指这类运动员目光短浅,过度关注眼前的表现,导致他们的非体育个性未得到发展,从而牺牲了其他身份,并更容易忧郁。myopic意为“目光短浅的”。故选C。 3.【答案】C  【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “A 2023 paper explained the identity crisis...underdeveloped.” 可知,运动员因过度聚焦比赛表现,非体育方面的个性未得到发展而面临身份危机。由此可推知,解决办法就是发展体育之外的身份感。从最后一段最后两句话中也可得到印证。故选C。 4.【答案】B  【解析】主旨大意题。 Para. 1 奥运选手全力备赛却常精神崩溃。 Para. 2 奥运会特性使运动员压力大且容易迷茫。 Para. 3 过度聚焦比赛致运动员身份危机。 Para. 4 多方举措助力运动员心理健康。 通读全文并根据各段段意可知,本文主要围绕奥运会运动员在奥运结束后,因之前过度聚焦比赛出现身份危机、面临精神方面的 “低落情绪”等情况展开,B项“从英雄到归零:后奥运时期的忧郁”形象体现了这一变化,为最佳标题。 B (2025黑龙江龙东联盟期中) Basketball is a team sport which requires excellent cooperation and teamwork among teammates. A good pass is very important in the basketball game. The pass is the action of moving the ball to create scoring opportunities.  1  The following are some ways of doing that.   The chest pass is a quick and accurate pass from the chest of the passer to the receiver.  2  You should extend your arms in a quick motion to pass the ball with palms(手掌)facing outwards and thumbs facing the player you passed to. This is called follow-through(随球动作).   3  It is relatively easy to steal, but an effective way of starting a fast break(快攻). Place your hands on both sides of the ball and bring the ball behind your head. Use your upper body strength to make the pass and follow-through.  In a bounce pass, the ball is bounced from the floor before reaching the receiver of the pass. The ball should bounce from that spot to arrive at your receiver above the knees and below the chest.  4   A baseball pass is best used for long distance passes.  5  But it is especially useful during fast breaks. Place the ball high above your head with your passing hand behind it and the other under the ball. Throw the ball with an overhand arm thrust(猛推).  Practice these passes and you are sure to become an offensive threat on the court. A.Power comes from the legs. B.It sacrifices accuracy because of the distance. C.The audience will cheer for the team with enthusiasm. D.In other words, the ball should arrive at the receiver’s waist. E.It is the most effective pass and fastest way to move the ball. F.An overhead pass is a pass thrown with both hands over your head. G.An effective pass is a combination of good timing, speed and accuracy. 1.    2.    3.    4.    5.     ◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了篮球运动中的几种传球技巧。 【高频词汇】 1.accurate adj.准确的 2.extend v.伸展,舒展,展开 3.outwards adv.向外,朝外 4.offensive adj.进攻性的,攻击性的 5.sacrifice v.牺牲 1.【答案】G  【解析】过渡句。前文提到传球对于创造得分机会很重要,后文具体介绍了几种传球方式,G项“一次有效的传球是良好的时机、速度和准确性的结合”进一步阐述了有效传球的要素,引出下文具体介绍不同的传球方式。上文中“A good pass”和G项中“An effective pass”呼应。 2.【答案】E  【解析】细节句。空前介绍胸前传球是从传球者的胸前快速而准确地传球给接球者,后面详细描述了胸前传球的具体动作,E项“它是最有效的传球方式,也是移动球最快的方式”是对胸前传球特点的一个总体的概括说明,符合在描述具体动作之前先介绍其优势特点的逻辑顺序。上文中“quick”和E项中“fastest way”呼应。 3.【答案】F  【解析】主旨句。空后开始描述头顶传球的相关内容,如它容易被抢断但又是发动快攻的有效方式以及具体的传球动作等。F项 “头顶传球是双手举过头顶进行的传球” 可以引出后文对头顶传球的详细介绍。 4.【答案】D  【解析】细节句。前文提到击地传球时球要弹起并到达接球者膝盖以上、胸部以下的位置,D项 “换句话说,球应该到达接球者的腰部”进一步明确了击地传球时球到达的理想位置。上文中“above the knees and below the chest”和D项中“waist”呼应。 5.【答案】B  【解析】细节句。前面提到棒球式传球适用于长距离传球,后文接着说但是它在快攻时特别有用以及描述其传球动作,B 项“由于距离的原因,它牺牲了准确性” 补充说明了长距离传球的一个弊端,与前文提到的适用于长距离传球及后文中的But相呼应,进一步完善了对棒球式传球特点的介绍。B项中“because of the distance”和上文中“long distance”呼应。 2 / 14 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $
