Unit 3 Faster, Higher, Stronger / 更快、更高、更强 本单元共收录 4 篇（组）英文语篇。 1. The Road to Success / 通往成功之路 Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy: "I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself. I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You've got to be able to put in 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 that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible. 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·库里祖父的家一直通向附近的树林。这里与美国职业篮球联赛明亮的灯光和光洁的球场相去甚远，而斯蒂芬的祖父正是在这条路旁，把一块塑料板固定在电线杆上，做成了一个简易篮筐。 和父亲、篮球明星戴尔·库里一样，斯蒂芬童年时常常在这片泥泞的篮球场上练球。当时他也许没有意识到，正是在这里，他学会了怎样成为一名富有创造力、能够灵活应变的球员。每次投篮，薄弱的塑料篮板都会向后弯曲；篮下土路上的坑洼和石块又使篮球向四面八方弹去，很难预判球会落到哪里。因此，他不得不不断调整自己的打法。他还学会了极其精准地投篮，因为只有恰好瞄准篮筐中心的球，才能落入那个厚重结实的篮筐。就这样，日复一日的练习不断磨炼着斯蒂芬的球技。 尽管父亲的职业生涯十分成功，包括高中队友和教练在内的许多人仍认为，斯蒂芬个子太矮、身材太瘦、力量太弱，不可能追随父亲的脚步。但斯蒂芬坚持了下来。打篮球是他的梦想，他绝不会放弃。最终，他进入离家不远、规模较小而且名气不大的戴维森学院，参加大学篮球比赛。创造力和毅力使他成为戴维森学院的明星球员。 2009年，斯蒂芬入选NBA，加盟金州勇士队。凭借精准的投篮和不懈的努力，他的表现远远超出所有人的预期。2015年，斯蒂芬赢得个人首个NBA总冠军，并带领勇士队夺得自1975年以来的第一个总冠军。 连续两年获得最有价值球员奖后，斯蒂芬解释了自己的人生理念：“我从来没有刻意想去改变比赛……我想做的只是成为我自己……我知道，这会鼓舞下一代的许多人，鼓舞许多热爱篮球的人重视技术，重视通过每天努力让自己不断进步这件事。你必须愿意投入时间和汗水。我就是这样走到今天，也正是这样每天继续变得更好。” 斯蒂芬·库里鼓励他人相信自己。他用亲身经历证明，别人怎样看待你，并不一定会决定你最终成为什么样的人。凭借自信、勤奋、毅力，以及一只旧篮筐的帮助，他向世人表明：一切皆有可能。 2. Sports Role Models / 体育榜样 A sports role model is a sportsperson who inspires other people in a certain way. In this spirit, the Laureus World Sports Awards is an annual ceremony to honour remarkable sportspeople. The first ceremony was held in 2000 in Monaco, where Pelé was given the Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2003, Yao Ming became the first Chinese sportsperson to win the award, and in Shanghai in 2015 Yao Ming and Li Na both won awards. These sports role models show us what sporting spirit really means – that is, faster, higher and stronger! 体育榜样，是以某种方式激励他人的运动员。秉持这一理念，劳伦斯世界体育奖每年举办颁奖典礼，表彰杰出的体育人物。首届典礼于2000年在摩纳哥举行，贝利获得终身成就奖。2003年，姚明成为第一位获得该奖项的中国运动员；2015年，姚明和李娜又在上海举行的颁奖典礼上双双获奖。这些体育榜样向我们诠释了真正的体育精神——更快、更高、更强！ 3. The Return of the Champions / 冠军归来 “The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is electric! If China wins this point, they will walk out of the stadium with an Olympic gold medal. Zhang Changning serves. Over the net, Popovic dives for the ball. She only just reaches it… and it’s sent straight back to her by the Chinese spiker Hui Ruoqi. Popovic can’t get the ball back this time… and that’s it! It’s over! It’s gold for China! Look how the crowd has gone wild. You can see the joy and pride on the faces of the Chinese fans. And there we see the Chinese players embracing, with tears of happiness in their eyes… It’s a dream come true for China! The Chinese women’s volleyball team is Olympic champion once again!” The Chinese women’s volleyball team holds a very special place in the nation’s heart. In the 1980s, the team burst onto the international volleyball scene with several major world titles, and an amazing three-set victory over the United States in the final of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. They became national heroes overnight. There was gold once more at Athens in 2004. But winning gold in Rio paints the most vivid portrait of the team’s competitive spirit. In Rio, the Chinese women’s volleyball team needed all of its fighting spirit after it was assigned to the “group of death”, where it faced several strong opponents in the group stage matches. Despite reaching the quarter-finals as the fourth team in the group, with just two wins in preliminary matches, they were not going to give up. Every single member of the team gave their all to the fight, including Hui Ruoqi who had had heart surgery less than five months previously. Their perseverance paid off with an epic comeback against the defending champion Brazil in the quarter-finals. Next, the Chinese team defeated the Netherlands in the semi-final matches, having lost to them in the preliminaries. At last, showing a strong will and the steeliest nerves, they played a close match against Serbia to seize gold in the final. But fighting spirit alone was not enough to guarantee victory. Strong team spirit also contributed greatly to their success. Cooperation between team members is essential. If each individual does her job and works well with 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, also identified this as the special ingredient in the team’s success: “Teamwork is the key to China’s victory. Thanks to my teammates’ hard efforts, I had the opportunity to show my spiking skills.” Together, the Chinese women’s volleyball team has fought their way through ups and downs. Led by well-known Chinese volleyball player and coach Lang Ping, they have continued to aim high. Lang is only too aware that as soon as a team steps off the victory podium, they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead. In this way, the team begins its journey to the next Olympics. “里约热内卢现场的气氛已经沸腾！如果中国队拿下这一分，她们就将带着奥运金牌走出体育馆。张常宁发球。球越过网，波波维奇飞身救球，勉强碰到了……中国主攻手惠若琪把球直接扣回她的方向。波波维奇这次没能把球救起……结束了！比赛结束！中国队夺金！看，观众已经彻底疯狂。中国球迷脸上写满喜悦与自豪。中国队员们拥抱在一起，眼里含着幸福的泪水……中国的梦想成真了！中国女排再次成为奥运冠军！” 中国女排在全国人民心中占据着极其特殊的位置。20世纪80年代，中国女排横空出世，在国际排坛接连夺得多项世界大赛冠军；1984年洛杉矶奥运会决赛，她们更以令人惊叹的直落三局战胜美国队。一夜之间，她们成为民族英雄。2004年雅典奥运会，中国女排再次摘金；而里约奥运会的金牌，则最鲜明地展现了这支队伍的拼搏精神。 里约赛场上，中国女排被分入“死亡之组”，小组赛面对多支劲旅，因此必须拿出全部斗志。她们在预赛中仅赢两场，以小组第四晋级四分之一决赛，却从未想过放弃。每一名队员都拼尽全力，其中包括五个月前才接受过心脏手术的惠若琪。 她们的坚持在四分之一决赛中得到回报：面对卫冕冠军巴西队，中国女排完成了一场史诗般的逆转。随后，她们在半决赛击败曾在预赛中战胜自己的荷兰队。最终，凭借坚定的意志和钢铁般的神经，中国队在决赛中与塞尔维亚队激烈鏖战，夺得金牌。 然而，只有拼搏精神还不足以保证胜利，强大的团队精神也为成功作出了巨大贡献。队员之间的协作至关重要：只要每个人完成自己的任务，并与队友配合良好，最终目标就能实现。事实上，强大的团队精神比任何个人技术都更加重要。里约奥运会最有价值球员朱婷也指出，这正是队伍成功的特殊秘诀：“团队合作是中国队获胜的关键。正是由于队友们的艰苦努力，我才有机会展现自己的扣球技术。” 中国女排始终并肩作战，一路走过起伏与荣辱。在著名中国女排运动员、教练郎平的带领下，她们不断向更高目标迈进。郎平深知，一支队伍只要走下冠军领奖台，就必须从零开始，为前方的新挑战做好准备。就这样，中国女排又踏上了通往下一届奥运会的征程。 4. Writing about a Sporting Moment / 体育时刻写作 Last Saturday, I went to the school playground to watch the final of the 4×100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament. It was an extraordinary experience and something I will never forget. Before the race, everyone was quiet and still. I had never imagined that the atmosphere at a sports event could be so intense. When the runners set off, everyone went wild! We all stood up and started cheering and shouting. It was like being hit by a huge wave of excitement. I could see the runners straining to run as fast as they could, while trying not to drop their batons at the change. The race was all over in just one minute. It was Li Chong, the fastest student in our school, who first crossed the finish line. Everyone was on their feet, cheering. I was also caught up in the excitement and cheered so hard that I thought my lungs would burst! It was so wonderful to be part of this sporting moment and enjoy its speed and passion. 上周六，我来到学校操场，观看一年一度运动会的4×100米接力决赛。这是一次非凡的经历，也是我永远不会忘记的时刻。比赛开始前，所有人都安静地站着。我从未想象过，一场体育比赛的气氛竟会如此紧张。运动员一出发，全场顿时沸腾！我们全都站了起来，开始欢呼呐喊，仿佛被一股巨大的兴奋浪潮迎面击中。我看见运动员竭尽全力飞奔，同时在交接棒时小心避免掉棒。短短一分钟，比赛就结束了。我们学校跑得最快的学生李冲第一个冲过终点线。所有人都起立欢呼，我也完全被激动的气氛感染，拼命呐喊，仿佛肺都要喊破了！能够置身这一体育时刻，感受其中的速度与激情，实在太美妙了。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
