(D) KIDS in a Sudanese refugee camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football. NBA superstar Tracy McGrady watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass patchfor $1,000. Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil. Or maybe he just wants to do something – anything – to give these children some hope. But he is told, politely, that grass is not what the kids need. This scene appears in 3 Point, a new documentary, which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face-to-face with the reality that life is more than sport. McGrady, 29, writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in the news. “Who were the faces behind the statistics? he said. “I needed to see it for myself. And he did. He stepped out of his mansion and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine . He slept in a tent. He dodged minefields . He talked with people who have been tortured. And he swallowed his pride. But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a patch of grass. Sport gave him a chance, so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees. McGrady was eyed by NBA scouts as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college. Instead, he leaped right into the NBA. Since that move, basketball has given him a handsome living, but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people. As McGrady would learn in Africa, most people see sport as just a break from life’s difficulties. They don’t mistake it for life itself. Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him, but I’d bet that, at the very least, it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful. McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring. He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. But, perhaps, now he knows he doesn't have to in order to truly make a difference in the world. 76.The refugee children probably need most. A.clean drinking water B.a grass football pitch C.necessities of survival D.a tent to sleep in 77.What can we know about McGrady from the passage? A.Basketball made him what he is today. B.He is an NBA superstar as great as Kobe or Jordan. C.He didn’t show his talent for basketball as a teenager. D.He taught children to play football in refugee camp. 78.Which of the following statements is TRUE? A.McGrady wanted to buy kids a grass pitch because he spotted a football genius among them. B.McGrady left his comfortable life behind to visit Africa because he wanted to meet fact to face with the people. C.McGrady was blamed for ignoring the kids’ real needs by offering something unnecessary. D.McGrady’s future aim will be nothing but compete for an NBA Championship ring. 79.McGrady learned from his visit to Africa that . A.he needn’t improve his basketball skills to reach the heights of his seniors B.sport gave him a chance and means everything to him C.people in hunger can never understand the importance of sport D.What’s truly meaningful can be a world of difference to different people Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A.Get angry, live longer B.Nothing to see on the surface C.Try to overcome angry D.Which one causes which? E.Who is likely to get cancer? F.Why join stress and cancer? 80. One of the reasons scientists think that there is a link between stress and cancer is the idea that there may be a cancer-prone personality. The cancer-pronepersonality consists of a set of personality traitsthat are found more frequently in people who have cancer than in those who do not. 81. What personality traits make up the cancer-prone personality? Most often, people who are polite, unaggressive, and agreeable are said to have this type of personality. They seem to have trouble showing, when they are angry. Even in situations in which they should be angry, they appear to be calm and happy. 82. When faced with a stressful event, people with the cancer-prone personality do not show stress outwardly. Instead, they keep their emotions bottled inside. They repress, or hide, their emotions, even from themselves. 83. The cancer-prone personality is liked to the likelihood of getting cancer, and same personality traits seem to help affect a cancer victim’s recovery. For example, some students have looked at cancer patients who accept the cancer without getting angry. These patients get sick faster and they die sooner than people who become angry at their cancer and fight the disease. 84. However, it is important to keep in mind that some scientists interpret these research findings differently. First of all, not everyone who has a cancer-prone personality gets cancer. And not everyone who has cancer has cancer-prone personality. Even more important, there is no proof that having a cancer-prone personality causes cancer. In fact, it may be the other way round: getting cancer may cause people to develop a cancer-prone personality. 第Ⅱ卷 Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1.会议是否举行还没有决定. 2.饭后散一会步有益健康. 3.这么短的时间里我们无法完成这项任务的. 4.当时.那位出租车司机别无选择.只能求助于游客. 5.应该鼓励学生将课堂上所学的知识用于实践中去. 6.随着经济的发展.现在许多家庭都买得起轿车. 查看更多
