When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (獎學(xué)金)。 The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.
At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young an who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches(對方教練) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16 D shoes and sucking a lollipop(棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups(擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.
When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”
1. Many schools offer Alcindor scholarships because ______.
|
A．he was young |
B．he was hardworking |
|
C．he was tall for his age |
D．he was skillful at playing basketball |
2. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?
|
A．serious, popular and slow |
B．tall, skillful and successful |
|
C．kind, powerful and undefeated |
D．well-known, strict and experienced |
3. Why their team fail at last?
|
A．Their teams refused to play Power. |
B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor. |
|
C．Their teams would lose courage. |
D．Their teams would lose interest. |
4.What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
|
A．How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press. |
|
B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters. |
|
C．Why the press followed Alcindor closed. |
|
D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badly. |

Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old － or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas.
Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life. People work near their homes in the clean mountain air instead of traveling long distances to work by bus, car or train. They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields. They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West. For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors. There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society. They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives.
Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success. First, live in the right place. Second, choose the right kind of job. Doctors, dentists and bus－drivers die young. Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer. If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life.
An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life. “I was young then，” he said, as he described his 87th year. His secret was: “Think young and stay young.” An old woman from Missouri, the USA, gave this advice, “Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day.” An English lady just said, “Take a cold bath every morning.” The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr Jim Chapman, aged 103. “Just keep breathing，” he told reporters.
1.Who is most likely to live a long life?
|
A．A doctor. |
B．A bus－driver. |
C．A dentist. |
D．An orchestral conductor. |
2.We can see from the passage that long－lived people avoid ______.
|
A．working hard |
B．drinking |
C．eating too much |
D．taking cold baths |
3. The passage indicates that we can change our ______ to live a long life.
|
A．jobs |
B．places of living |
C．ways of living |
D．ways of thinking |
4.What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
|
A．Whose advice is the best. |
|
B．Who is the most long－lived person in the world. |
|
C．Lifestyles of long－lived people. |
|
D．How long－lived people think of their life. |

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆四川省成都市高一5月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely act of stealing or an even cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds—homing pigeons !
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind—one that avoids not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an advertisement in the newspaper asking for help.
The thought is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars–seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.
1.After the car owner received a phone call, he _______.
|
A．went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried |
|
B．gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park |
|
C．sent some money to the thief by mail |
|
D．told the press about it |
2.The “l(fā)azier and more inventive” criminal refers to _______.
|
A．the car thief who stays at home |
|
B．one of those who put the ads in the paper |
|
C．one of the policemen in Changwa |
|
D．the owner of the pigeons |
3.The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _______.
|
A．how easily people get fooled by criminals |
|
B．what Chen thinks might be correct |
|
C．the thief is extremely clever |
|
D．the money paid is too little |
4.The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ____.
|
A．criminals |
B．pigeons |
C．the stolen cars |
D．demands for money |
5. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because _______.
|
A．he reads the ads in the newspaper |
|
B．he lives in the same neighborhood |
|
C．he has seen the car owners in the park |
|
D．he has trained the pigeons to follow them |
