His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”,and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school,he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student,in the Big Ten meet in 1935,he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet,Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,event by event. He did try,and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year,and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,”he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him,anyway.”Having returned from Berlin,he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,either. In fact,he was not honored by the United States until 1976,four years before his death.Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground,and accepted money to race against cars,trucks,motorcycles and dogs.“Sure,it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time,however,his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,”he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”1.Owens got his other name “Jesse” when .A.he went to Ohio State UniversityB.his teacher made fun of himC.his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”D.he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet2.In the Big Ten meet,Owens .A.hurt himself in the backB.succeeded in setting many recordsC.tried every sports event but failedD.had to give up some events3.When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,”he means that the medals .A.have been changed for money to help him live onB.have made him famous in the USC.have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD.have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs4.What would be the best title for the passage?( )A.Jesse Owens,A Great American AthleteB.Golden Moment—A Lifetime StruggleC.Making A Living As A SportsmanD.How To Be A Successful Athlete( B )(2015黑龙江高三模拟试题二) As the population of the planet increases,so does the number of homes,businesses,parking lots,schools,airports and roadways.All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted.Humans demand these lights.They want their homes more comfortable and they want theirstreets safe.The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town,lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨).The area was short of homes,street lights and traffic.If I did that today,I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower as well.Due to the increase in street lights,I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution.If you’ve ever taken a flight at night,the view is beautiful,but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity.The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted.One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky;a total waste of electricity.Additionally,somewhere electricity needs to be produced,and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases.This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife.Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings,as they become puzzled by the light.It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately,light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect.Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.5.It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is .A.reducing the output of the lightsB.avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingcating people about light pollutionD.inventing environmentally-friendly lights6.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?( )A.Many animals species have died out.B.More traffic accidents happen every day.C.The air we breathe may be polluted.D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.7.What can be inferred from the text?( )A.We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C.Astronauts can’t see clearly in space nowadays.D.Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.8.What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?( )A.Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B.Approaches to decreasing light pollution.C.Benefits of searching on Google.D.More bad effects of light pollution.活页综合提升练(八)Ⅰ.完形填空语篇解读:明星运动员的父母是他们成功的动力,还是他们成长的阻碍呢?孩子们真正想从运动中得到什么呢?1.C 根据语境可知这一万多名运动员来自世界各地, 因此要想知道他们是谁很困难。
