热点时文12 人物传记·运动明星 【时文·速递】 LeBron James: More Than a Basketball Star LeBron James, 41, has spent 23 seasons in the NBA and broken countless records, including becoming the league’s all-time top scorer with over 42,000 regular-season points. Yet what makes him one of the most influential athletes of the century goes far beyond his court performance. 41岁的勒布朗·詹姆斯已在NBA征战23个赛季，打破了无数纪录，其中包括以超过42000个常规赛得分登顶联盟历史得分王。然而，让他成为本世纪最具影响力运动员之一的原因，远不止他在赛场上的表现。 Growing up in a single-parent family in Akron, Ohio, James carried a strong desire to change his fate and help his community. When he entered the league as a teenage superstar, he refused to follow the old rules that forced athletes to hand their careers to outside managers. Instead, he built a team of childhood friends to run his business, winning widespread criticism at first but proving his judgment right in the long run. 詹姆斯在俄亥俄州阿克伦市的一个单亲家庭长大，他一直渴望改变自己的命运，并回馈家乡社区。年少成名进入职业联赛后，他拒绝遵从行业旧规——许多运动员被迫将职业生涯交由外部经纪人打理。相反，他组建了一支由儿时好友组成的团队打理个人事务，此举起初饱受非议，但最终证明了他的判断极具远见。 Unlike many sports stars who stay away from social issues, James has never hesitated to speak up against racial unfairness. After the death of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner, he and his teammates wore symbolic clothes to draw public attention. He also founded the I Promise School in his hometown, offering free education, housing and medical care to poor local kids. He even created voting organizations to encourage more ordinary people to take part in elections. 不同于许多回避社会议题的体育明星，詹姆斯始终敢于发声，抵制种族不公。在特雷沃恩·马丁与埃里克·加纳事件发生后，他和队友身着标志性服饰，引发社会对种族问题的广泛关注。他还在家乡创办了“我承诺学校”，为当地贫困儿童提供免费教育、住宿和医疗服务，甚至成立投票公益组织，鼓励普通民众积极参与选举。 On the business side, James made smart choices: he took stock instead of simple advertising fees from brands like Beats, turning a small share into a huge fortune when Apple bought the company. He also became the first active NBA player to reach billionaire status. 在商业领域，詹姆斯的决策极具智慧。与Beats等品牌合作时，他放弃单纯的广告费，选择持有公司股份。在苹果收购该品牌后，他手中的小额股份转化为巨额财富。他也因此成为NBA史上首位现役亿万富翁球员。 James admits he still loves every training and game, though he hasn’t decided whether to play another season. To him, the greatest achievement is not all the championships or records, but setting a new standard for athletes to use their voice and wealth to change the world. 詹姆斯坦言，他依旧热爱每一场训练和比赛，目前尚未决定是否继续征战下一赛季。对他而言，人生最大的成就并非无数总冠军头衔与赛场纪录，而是为运动员树立了全新标杆：凭借自身影响力与财富，担当社会责任、改变世界。 (Adapted from TIME June 22, 2026) 【词库·筑基】——课标词汇提取 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. countless /ˈkaʊtləs/adj. 无数的 2. league /liːɡ/n. 联盟；联赛 3. performance /pəˈfɔːməns/n. 表现；表演 4. force /fɔːs/v. 强迫；迫使 5. criticize /ˈkrɪtɪsaɪz/v. 批评；指责 6. judgment /ˈdʒʌdʒmənt/n. 判断；判断力 7. hesitate /ˈhezɪteɪt/v. 犹豫 8. unfairness /ˌʌnˈfeənəs/n. 不公平 9. fate /feɪt/n. 命运 10. standard /ˈstændəd/n. 标准 【词库·拓维】 01 far beyond 远超；远不止（课标拓展短语） Yet what makes him one of the most influential athletes of the century goes far beyond his court performance. 然而，让他成为本世纪最具影响力运动员之一的原因，远不止他在赛场上的表现。 02 in the long run 从长远来看（必修常考短语） Instead, he built a team of childhood friends to run his business, winning widespread criticism at first but proving his judgment right in the long run. 相反，他组建了一支由儿时好友组成的团队打理个人事务，此举起初饱受非议，但从长远来看，最终证明了他的判断极具远见。 03 speak up 大胆发声；公开表态（选必核心短语） Unlike many sports stars who stay away from social issues, James has never hesitated to speak up against racial unfairness. 不同于许多回避社会议题的体育明星，詹姆斯始终敢于公开发声，抵制种族不公。 04 draw public attention 吸引公众关注（写作万能短语） After the death of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner, he and his teammates wore symbolic clothes to draw public attention. 在相关事件发生后，他和队友身着标志性服饰，以此吸引公众关注。 05 take part in 参与；参加（必修基础短语） He even created voting organizations to encourage more ordinary people to take part in elections. 他甚至成立投票公益组织，鼓励更多普通民众参与选举。 The Long March 12 is propelled by four liquid oxygen-kerosene engines. 长征十二号由四台液氧煤油发动机推进。 【长句·解码】 原句：Instead, he built a team of childhood friends to run his business, winning widespread criticism at first but proving his judgment right in the long run. 语法解析： 1. 主句：he built a team of childhood friends to run his business，主语 he，谓语 built，宾语 a team of childhood friends。 2. to run his business 为不定式短语作目的状语，说明组建团队的目的。 3. winning...but proving... 为并列的现在分词短语作结果状语，表动作带来的先后结果，形成转折逻辑。 翻译技巧： 将英文后置的结果状语拆分独立成句，把转折逻辑“起初……但长远来看”显性化，打破英文长句束缚，贴合中文短句叙事节奏，语句更流畅自然。 “相反，他组建了一支由儿时好友组成的团队打理个人事务，此举起初饱受非议，但从长远来看，最终证明了他的判断极具远见。” 仿写练习：相反，他坚持遵从自己的初心追逐梦想，起初遭到很多质疑，但最终从长远角度证明了自己的选择是正确的。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考答案】 Instead, he stuck to his original heart to pursue his dream, facing plenty of doubts at first but proving his choice right in the long run. 一、阅读理解 根据文章内容，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 1. What made LeBron James the athlete of the century according to the text? A. His long NBA career and all scoring records B. His outstanding skills and long-lasting competitiveness C. His achievements both on court and in public affairs D. His huge wealth from sports-related businesses 2. Why did James hire his childhood friends as his business team? A. He lacked professional managers in the beginning B. He wanted to break the traditional rules for athletes C. His friends had rich experience in sports management D. The media advised him to trust people around him 3. Which of the following is James’ public contribution? A. Building schools and supporting poor children B. Donating all his championship bonuses C. Setting up sports training centers nationwide D. Giving free basketball lessons to teenagers 4. What can we infer about LeBron James from the passage? A. He will definitely retire after this season B. He cares more about fame than social justice C. He dares to make unconventional decisions D. He gets all his wealth from basketball matches 【答案解析】 1. C 【解析】事实细节题。本题考查勒布朗成为本世纪极具影响力运动员的核心原因。文章首段明确指出 “Yet what makes him one of the most influential athletes of the century goes far beyond his court performance”，说明其影响力不只赛场表现，下文又介绍他投身平权公益、商业布局等公共事务相关行动，赛场与公共领域双重成就造就其超高影响力。A 项片面，仅提及赛场生涯与得分纪录；B 项只强调赛场实力，忽略他场外的突出贡献；D 项仅概括商业财富，不够完整。因此，C 项是正确答案。 2. B 【解析】事实细节题。本题考查詹姆斯组建儿时好友商业团队的原因。文章第二段提到 “he refused to follow the old rules that forced athletes to hand their careers to outside managers. Instead, he built a team of childhood friends to run his business”，可见他此举是为打破运动员必须交由外部经纪人打理事业的传统规则。A 项无中生有，文中未说明他初期缺少专业经理人；C 项错误，原文没有提及好友具备体育管理丰富经验；D 项与原文不符，媒体起初还对此事提出大量批评，并未给出相关建议。因此，B 项是正确答案。 3. A 【解析】事实细节题。本题考查詹姆斯的社会公益贡献。文章第三段写明 “He also founded the I Promise School in his hometown, offering free education, housing and medical care to poor local kids”，对应创办学校、帮扶贫困儿童。B 项无依据，文中从未提到捐赠全部冠军奖金；C 项错误，原文没有全国体育训练中心相关内容；D 项文中未提及免费篮球课程。因此，A 项是正确答案。 4. C 【解析】推理判断题。本题考查从文章中推理詹姆斯的人物特质。文中多处体现他突破常规：拒绝行业传统经纪人模式、主动为种族不公发声、采用股权替代广告费的新颖合作方式，能合理推断他敢于做出非传统的选择。A 项表述绝对，原文 “he hasn’t decided whether to play another season”，无法确定他本赛季后退役；B 项与文意相反，他积极投身平权事业，十分看重社会公平；D 项错误，他大量财富来源于品牌股权投资，并非全部来自篮球赛事。因此，C 项是正确答案。 二、语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 LeBron James, 41, has spent 23 seasons in the NBA and broken countless records, including over 42,000 regular-season points, 1. ________ (mark) his status as the league’s all-time top scorer.

He also became the first active NBA player 9. ________ (reach) billionaire status. To him, the greatest achievement is not all the championships or records,10. ________ setting a new standard for athletes to use their voice and wealth to change the world. 【答案解析】 1. marking 考查非谓语动词。主语所述整件事与mark为逻辑主动关系，现在分词作结果状语，表自然而然的结果。 2. to change 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配a desire to do sth.，不定式作后置定语修饰抽象名词desire。 3. that/which 考查定语从句。先行词为the old rules，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故用that/which。 4. successfully 考查词性转换。修饰动词proving需用副词形式，success的副词为successfully，作状语。 5. to speak 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配hesitate to do sth.，意为“犹豫做某事”。 6. to draw 考查非谓语动词。不定式在句中作目的状语，表穿衣的目的是吸引公众关注。 7. to 考查介词。固定搭配offer sth. to sb.，意为“为某人提供某物”。 8. bought 考查动词时态。苹果收购品牌为过去发生的动作，主句为一般过去时，从句谓语用一般过去式。 9. to reach 考查非谓语动词。固定结构the first sb. to do sth.，不定式作后置定语修饰序数词限定名词。 10. but 考查并列连词。固定结构not...but...，意为“不是……而是……”，连接并列成分。 三、应用文写作 假设你是新华中学学生李华。你的英国笔友 Jim 酷爱篮球，在来信中表达了对球星 LeBron James 的敬佩，想了解他赛场之外的事迹。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 简述勒布朗的成长经历； 2. 介绍他的社会公益与商业成就； 3. 谈谈你对他的评价。 注意：1. 词数 80 左右； 2. 请按书信格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 参考词汇：racial unfairness 种族不公；billionaire n. 亿万富翁 Dear Jim, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【参考范文】 Dear Jim, Learning that you admire LeBron James and wonder about his life off the court, I’m glad to share relevant details with you. Raised in a single-parent family, he set up a business team with childhood friends rather than hiring outside managers. He speaks out against racial unfairness and founded I Promise School to supply poor kids with free education and medical care. Besides, he gained great wealth through wise investment and became the first active NBA billionaire. As far as I’m concerned, he sets a new standard for athletes to change the world with their influence. Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 1、 阅读理解（2026年高中英语全国Ⅰ卷平行卷-基础） For most of Natalie Grabow’s life, she didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项). “Swimming was my biggest problem to solve,” she said later. Step by step, she overcame (克服) her fear of water and built the skills she needed. Over the next 20 years, Grabow turned her dream into action. As a former software engineer, she had long loved running, but injuries often held her back. The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm. She trained hard and soon won several shorter half-triathlon races, growing stronger with each challenge. By age 80, Grabow was ready for the world’s toughest test: the Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii. On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish. She became the oldest woman ever to complete the race. For Grabow, her successful finish puts a strong ending on a 20- year journey. “I am so happy and grateful that I can still race in this sport at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon allows me to feel strong both in my mind and body, and it also keeps my competitive spirit alive.” Asked whether she has any tips for new athletes, Grabow keeps it simple. “Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says. For her, the sport is not just about winning, but about growing stronger, staying curious, and never stopping trying new things. 1. What pushed Grabow to learn swimming at 59? A．To be a good coach. B．To complete a big event. C．To improve her health. D．To reduce the fear of water. 2. Why did Grabow choose the cross- training part of triathlon? A．It was more popular. B．She was tired of running. C．It was less likely to get hurt. D．She wanted to challenge herself. 3. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A．Preparations for the race. B．Grabow’s race process. C．Rules of the Championship. D．Grabow’s running strategy. 4. What suggestion does Grabow give for new athletes? A．Enjoy the journey. B．Keep going without rest. C．Follow your hobby. D．Stay a competitive spirit. 【答案解析】 1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A 【导语】 主要讲述格拉博晚年学习游泳，坚持训练，高龄完成铁人三项世锦赛并分享自身运动感悟的故事。 【详解】 1. B. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项).(五十九岁时，她下定决心学习游泳，这一切都是一个远大的目标驱使着：完成一场铁人三项赛事。)” 可知，她为完成这项大型赛事，在五十九岁开始学习游泳。 2. C. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm.(铁人三项的交叉训练模式十分适合她，因为这种训练方式能够降低受伤风险。)” 可知，她选择该训练模式是因为不易受伤。 3. B. 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的 “On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish.(比赛当日，她跃入海中游完 2.4 英里，随后骑行 112 英里，途经熔岩地带与海风呼啸的海岸公路。最后她跑完爬升超一千英尺的全程马拉松，耗时 16 小时 45 分钟冲线，远在规定时限之前，另有六十余名年轻选手未能完赛。)” 可知，本段主要介绍格拉博的整场参赛过程。 4. A. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的 “Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says.(她说道：“听从身体的信号，适时休整，最重要的是用心享受这段历程。”)” 可知，她给新运动员的建议是享受运动过程。 $ 热点时文12 人物传记·运动明星 【时文·速递】 LeBron James: More Than a Basketball Star LeBron James, 41, has spent 23 seasons in the NBA and broken countless records, including becoming the league’s all-time top scorer with over 42,000 regular-season points.

To him, the greatest achievement is not all the championships or records, but setting a new standard for athletes to use their voice and wealth to change the world. 詹姆斯坦言，他依旧热爱每一场训练和比赛，目前尚未决定是否继续征战下一赛季。对他而言，人生最大的成就并非无数总冠军头衔与赛场纪录，而是为运动员树立了全新标杆：凭借自身影响力与财富，担当社会责任、改变世界。 (Adapted from TIME June 22, 2026) 【词库·筑基】——课标词汇提取 ( 1 / 9 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. countless /ˈkaʊtləs/adj. 无数的 2. league /liːɡ/n. 联盟；联赛 3. performance /pəˈfɔːməns/n. 表现；表演 4. force /fɔːs/v. 强迫；迫使 5. criticize /ˈkrɪtɪsaɪz/v. 批评；指责 6. judgment /ˈdʒʌdʒmənt/n. 判断；判断力 7. hesitate /ˈhezɪteɪt/v. 犹豫 8. unfairness /ˌʌnˈfeənəs/n. 不公平 9. fate /feɪt/n. 命运 10. standard /ˈstændəd/n. 标准 【词库·拓维】 01 far beyond 远超；远不止（课标拓展短语） Yet what makes him one of the most influential athletes of the century goes far beyond his court performance. 然而，让他成为本世纪最具影响力运动员之一的原因，远不止他在赛场上的表现。 02 in the long run 从长远来看（必修常考短语） Instead, he built a team of childhood friends to run his business, winning widespread criticism at first but proving his judgment right in the long run. 相反，他组建了一支由儿时好友组成的团队打理个人事务，此举起初饱受非议，但从长远来看，最终证明了他的判断极具远见。 03 speak up 大胆发声；公开表态（选必核心短语） Unlike many sports stars who stay away from social issues, James has never hesitated to speak up against racial unfairness. 不同于许多回避社会议题的体育明星，詹姆斯始终敢于公开发声，抵制种族不公。 04 draw public attention 吸引公众关注（写作万能短语） After the death of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner, he and his teammates wore symbolic clothes to draw public attention. 在相关事件发生后，他和队友身着标志性服饰，以此吸引公众关注。 05 take part in 参与；参加（必修基础短语） He even created voting organizations to encourage more ordinary people to take part in elections. 他甚至成立投票公益组织，鼓励更多普通民众参与选举。 The Long March 12 is propelled by four liquid oxygen-kerosene engines. 长征十二号由四台液氧煤油发动机推进。 【长句·解码】 原句：Instead, he built a team of childhood friends to run his business, winning widespread criticism at first but proving his judgment right in the long run. 语法解析： 1. 主句：he built a team of childhood friends to run his business，主语 he，谓语 built，宾语 a team of childhood friends。 2. to run his business 为不定式短语作目的状语，说明组建团队的目的。 3. winning...but proving... 为并列的现在分词短语作结果状语，表动作带来的先后结果，形成转折逻辑。 翻译技巧： 将英文后置的结果状语拆分独立成句，把转折逻辑“起初……但长远来看”显性化，打破英文长句束缚，贴合中文短句叙事节奏，语句更流畅自然。 “相反，他组建了一支由儿时好友组成的团队打理个人事务，此举起初饱受非议，但从长远来看，最终证明了他的判断极具远见。” 仿写练习：相反，他坚持遵从自己的初心追逐梦想，起初遭到很多质疑，但最终从长远角度证明了自己的选择是正确的。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 一、阅读理解 根据文章内容，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 1.
