His first job was repairing machines in a factory. Byaccident, he had invented the hair straightener. He sold his products and then continued with his career as an inventor.Every day, Garrett Morgan watched traffic become more dangerous. Cars, bicycles and walkers all competed to cross the street. Police officers made simple “stop / go” signals at busy crossroads, but cars, bicycles and walkers still rushed into the crossroads at different speeds and many crashed into each other. One day he saw a traffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads. He realized ,the problem with the traffic light, was its poor design: the traffic signal lacked a transition (过渡) between “stop” and “go.”Morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a “caution” light that made traffic move more smoothly and safely. His traffic light stood on a T-shaped pole (杆) with arms that flashed a red light to stop traffic in all directions, allowing walkers to cross safely. After walkers crossed, traffic could only go in one direction.Soon, cities everywhere wanted his traffic light. In 1923, a popular electric company paid Morgan $40,000 to make and sell his invention. Traffic lights today work in the same basic way.The traffic light is Morgan’s most famous invention. In 1963, the United States government gave Garrett Morgan an award for his life-saving idea.1. What can we learn about Garrett Morgan from Paragraph 1?A. He worked in a factory all his life.B. He led a hard life in his early years.C. He made money from hair straighteners.D. He dreamed of being an inventor when he was a child.2. What made Morgan invent the traffic light?A. A traffic accident.B. A car driver’s advice.C. Worry about his safety.D. Hard work of police officers.3. According to the text, Garrett Morgan’s traffic light _____.A. made cars move more slowlyB. needed no help from police officersC. was special because it had a “caution” lightD. was very different from the ones we use today（二）Today, after 10 days of medical treatment, for the first time, I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a program. She had been unwell recently and lived alone. Her sons live in foreign countries.After I called her and told about my plan to visit her, she started becoming excited and planning food at once. Nowadays, she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged (绷带) leg.I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before. I carried little things (snacks, books etc.) for her. She had been waiting for some time when I arrived. We talked about different things from health to her life and mine, from past to future, from food to travel etc. During the discussion, her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me.During the last few months, she had struggled with health and housework. She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems. She hadseen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable.She wanted to gift me something—she kept thinking of a dress, watch, footwear etc. whatever was new and great in her home. I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness.She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea, I was quite happy to see the childlike interest.While I was spending time with my motherly friend, the following thought kept coming back to me—probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city.

(11)Unit 2 Sports culture 高二英语牛津译林版 寒假作业(含答案)
（11）Unit 2 Sports culture一、阅读理解1. Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would bum walking, although fewer than running, which would probably bum about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.1.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A.They must run long distances.B.They are qualified for the marathon.C.They have to follow special rules.D.They are good at swinging their legs.2.What advantage does race walking have over running?A.It's more popular at the Olympics.B.It's less challenging physically.C.It's more effective in body building.D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.3.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?A.Getting experts' opinions.B.Having a medical checkup.C.Hiring an experienced coach.D.Doing regular exercises.4.Which word best describes the authors attitude to race walking?A.Skeptical.B.Objective.C.Tolerant.D.Conservative.2. I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games. I am from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn't for women and that my family shouldn't let me play. They also said I wouldn't make it, and that I wasn't good enough.As a child, I didn't really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets.My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom raised four children on her own. She worked all day, and had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going.Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur teams among the boys to the first win as part of the national team. And now I remember the day when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman's truck and people were waving. The achievement could happen because I hadn't given up the first moment I heard a "no".Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the chance to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for girls because it gives you the chance to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people.For me, it is a great honour to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create chances so that next generations don't have to go through what I have experienced.1.What was the author's family's attitude towards her playing football at first?A. They supported it.B. They were uncertain about it.C. They were strongly against it.D. They thought it must be painful.2.What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006?A. She learned to say no for the first time.B. She had little time to spend with her family.C. She got a chance to play for the national team.D. She was warmly welcomed by the whole town.3.Which of the following words can best describe the author?A. Creative.B. Humorous.C. Strong-willed.D. Responsible.4.What does the author call on girls and women to do?A. Play football just like her.B. Try their best to see the outside world.C. Trust themselves and do what they want.D. Value the happy hours with their families.3. Dolphins appear to make a tasty meal for many predators(捕食性动物). And why? With an exceptionally high fat content, dolphins provide great nutrition for predators who track throughout the ocean. However, dolphins are more troublesome than it's worth and most predators generally learn to avoid dolphin groups, including sharks. Like elephants, dolphins will circle protectively around the weak members of the group, and attack anything that approaches in a threatening manner. And they can kill sharks. Most predators take one look, and then just swim away.Dolphins don't worry a lot about being eaten. In general, their only real predator is the shark, and even then only the larger species of sharks dare to attack dolphins. Dolphins have evolved(进化) over a long time to be pretty tough, so in general even the most dangerous sharks stay away from them. Dolphin parts have been found in the bellies of killer whales, who will eat just about anything. In fact, dolphins and killer whales team up sometimes to catch some prey.As with most edible(可以食用的) species today, the most dangerous threat is man. Sometimes, dolphins are killed not because they are a source of food, but because they prey on the same fish species as humans. Therefore, many fishermen have killed dolphins specifically because they think dolphins will min their catch.Even more, there are some countries that eat cetaceans, including dolphins. In Japan, themeat of some dolphin species is seen as a delicacy, and can cost up to $ 25 a pound. In Peru and many other Latin American countries where the ocean has been largely short of fish due to overfishing or environmental conditions such as El Niño, fishermen have turned to catch dolphins and porpoises to sell in fish markets.1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.No ocean animals can attack dolphins.B.Dolphins are not easy to deal with.C.Dolphins often kill sharks.D.Dolphins are quite low in fat.2.What does the underlined part in the passage mean?A.People have ever found the evidence of killer whales eating dolphins.B.Dolphins and killer whales have something in common concerning bellies.C.Dolphins and killer whales join hands to hunt and feed.D.Dolphins and killer whales are not similar in bellyparts.3.Which is one of the reasons why dolphins are killed according to Para. 3?A.The number of dolphins is too large.B.Dolphins are more delicious than other species.C.Dolphins compete with humans on the same fish species.D.Dolphins' meat is the main economic source for some fishermen.4.Why do the Japanese kill dolphins?A.Dolphins cause overfishing.B.Dolphins affect their way of living.C.Dolphins are a source of delicious food.D.There are not so many fish in the ocean as before.4. There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we choose, we have to stick to the route the city planners laid down for us.Parkour enthusiasts (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.The International Gymnastics Federation has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are about 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone,according to The Guardian —and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics.But parkour enthusiasts themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as a lifestyle. In their view, it's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.Indeed, many do parkour just to "escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways", wrote Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.It's great that the International Gymnastics Federation wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.1.How do parkour enthusiasts do parkour?A.They move as they wish.B.They plan the routes of the city.C.They run faster than others.D.They stick to certain routes.2.Why does the International Gymnastics Federation want to add parkour to the Olympics?A.Because it draws their attention.B.Because it helps people to build up their body.C.Because that's what parkour enthusiasts argue for.D.Because they think it needs rules and instructions.3.What is the author's view on parkour?A.It can be recognized as a competition.B.It calls on people to work as a team.C.It's worth adding to the sporting events.D.It is a way of life rather than a competition.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.A new sports competitionB.Parkour enthusiastsC.Training in a different wayD.Making the city their own二、七选五5.阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch (音调).One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music "actually tunes our sensory system". This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programmes, Dr Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话) speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding (编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word "mi" in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1.When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find __________.A.it difficult to learn music at the same timeB.it not difficult to learn music at the same timeC.it hard to master the tones required to speak and understandD.it easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch2.Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A.Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B.Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.C.Because music training might help people with language study.D.Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.3.The underlined word "intoned" in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word "__________".A.createdB.spelledC.seemedD.pronounced4.What would be the best title of this passage?A.Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English SpeakersB.Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC.Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD.Schools Need to Develop Music ProgrammesCIf you're out for a run, what difference does it make if you're able to tough it out for another 50 seconds? If you're less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.How do you get those extra seconds of energy? A research team at the Texas Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance. The researchers based the study on a stress testing. As part of the testing, they noted any changes in heart rate and blood pressure as participants underwent physically stressful exercise.The tests were done on treadmills (跑步机), which increased in both speed and incline (坡度) through three stages. In the final stage, the treadmills moved at 10 miles per hour at a 14-percent grade. Most of these tests were designed to last up to 40 minutes. The average gym-goers lasted 30 minutes. For this study, they divided 127 participants into two groups. One listened toupbeat(快节奏) music, while the other group had earbuds in but did not listen to music.The group that listened to music was able to outlast the non-music group by an average of 50.6 seconds. Again, being able to go an extra minute may seem like a no-brainer, but "after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot," said the study's lead author, Waseem Shami, MD.The study has confirmed something runners and gym-goers have suspected for years: listening to music during workout can be beneficial to your endurance. "Our findings reinforce the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine," said Shami. "When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too."1.Why did Shamil team conduct the research?A.To test the effect of music on health.B.To know the cause of failure in sports.C.To improve runners' exercise tolerance.D.To record the body change of participants.2.What did the researchers find about the participants in the stress testing?A.They ran much faster than average runners.B.They created a new record of indoor sports.C.They could run a little longer with music on.D.They all enjoyed extreme physical challenge.3.What do the underlined words "a no-brainer" mean in Paragraph 4?A.A dull activity.B.A foolish action.C.A demanding task.D.An easy practice.4.What did Shami suggest us doing in the last paragraph?A.Developing a daily exercise routine.B.Listening to music while working out.C.Participating in physical stress testing.D.Taking exercise as doctors recommend.DThe famous British writer Charles Dickens, who penned the letter that led the signatures of resistance to street music in 1864, would be pleased to hear that, to be a busker(街头艺人) in London today, one must pass a strict "interview" first. Each busker must go through a shortlist process and then perform live in one of underground stations in front of three judges. Each musician must perform two songs (one prepared by themselves and the other selected by judges from a submitted set list). The judging process reviews the musician's songs, musicality, technique skill and performance. If successful, the musician will receive a 12-month licence to perform in the street. Last year, more than 600 musicians attended the "interview" and only 70 got licence.The method of tipping buskers is changing. London is the first city in the world to introduce the electronic payment system (EPS). London mayor (市长) Sadiq Khan described London as "a powerhouse of music". "For London to keep its status as a global capital of music, it's vitally important that we support the stars of tomorrow," Khan said. "Busking helps them show their talent and gives them the chance to perform in front of huge numbers of people. The new method means more people will now be able to show their support for the capital city's many street performers because it's more convenient for them to do so."Charlotte Campbell is one such busker who's been helping to trial the project. After only two weeks, she said it had "already had a significant effect on the contributions I've received". She's noticed when one person taps the reader to donate, others who witness the act often follow suit, suggesting people are more than willing to adopt the new way of rewarding buskers.1.What was Charles Dickens' attitude towards street music in London?A.Favourable.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Cautious.2.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The long history of street music.B.The way of playing street music.C.The buskers' competition to get a licence.D.The introduction of buskers in London.3.Why did London mayor promote the new scheme?A.To make more people help the buskers.B.To show London is full of buskers.C.To catch up with modern art trends.D.To reform street music's performance.4.How did London people respond to the EPS according to Charlotte Campbell?A.They were opposed to it.B.They accepted it quickly.C.They paid no attention to it.D.They thought it made no difference.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
(12)Unit 2 Sports culture 高二英语牛津译林版 寒假作业(含答案)
（12）Unit 2 Sports culture一、阅读理解1. Although Kobe Bryant is no longer with us, his strong will on and off the basketball court lives on. It was announced that the lot superstar would be accepted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame."His competitiveness, professional ethics and drive were unmatched," Jeanie Buss, the controlling owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, told ESPN. "Those qualities helped Kobe lead us to five titles — and have now brought him to the Hall of Fame. No one deserves it more."Indeed, it was Kobe's unmatchable determination to be the best that distinguished him from his peers. He named it "mamba mentality", after the black mamba, one of the world's deadliest snakes, and also after the top killer from the movie Kill Bill. The mamba mentality became so popular that Kobe even detailed it in his book The Mamba Mentality: How I Play. In it, he revealed his physical and mental preparations not just to succeed in the game, but to excel himself."Mamba mentality is all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work," he said during an interview. " It started when someone described me like that one day, and it's grown into something athletes — and even non-athletes — embrace (欣然接受) as a mindset."Kobe was similar to one of the greatest basketball players, Michael Jordan, not only in playing style, but in competitive nature. " I liked challenging people and making them uncomfortable," Kobe wrote in his book. "That's what leads to introspection(反省) and that's what leads to improvement. You could say I dared people to be their best selves."Though many were shocked and sad when Kobe died in a helicopter crash in January 2020, his legacy will live on. Whether you're a basketball player or not, you can't deny Kobe's power to inspire you to be your best self.1.What can be learnt from the second paragraph?A. Kobe's confidence helped him win five titles.B. Kobe was competitive enough to become a great player.C. Kobe in particular deserved the honor of being a Hall of Famer.D. Kobe was the only qualified player in the Hall of Fame.2.According to Kobe, what is true mamba mentality?A. Being willing to cooperate with teammates.B. The spirit of working hard.C. Reflecting on oneself from time to time.D. A belief that both the process and outcome matter.3.Why did Kobe like challenging people?A. He found it fun to challenge people.B. He wanted to show off his basketball skills.C. He believed it could promote people's improvement.D. He inspired them to develop a passion for basketball.4.What is the text mainly about?A. How Kobe died in a helicopter crash.B. How mamba mentality came into being.C. Why Kobe was inducted into the Hall of Fame.D. Mamba mentality — Kobe's legacy to the world.2. In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some hold an optimistic attitude. They value it highly, believing that it is a natural result of social progress and prosperity(繁荣) and that anyone who wants to be outstanding has to keep up with the pace. Others think otherwise. They say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another and that it leads to the unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who hold the belief that their self-worth depends on how well they perform at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others have an opposite opinion. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most voices are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. They have no choice. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn'tmatter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they really try and lose, that will mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (消除) can we discover a new meaning of competition.1.What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failure is a necessary experience in competition.2.What does the underlined phrase "the most voices" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Those who try their best to win.B. Those who value competition most highly.C. Those who are against competition most strongly.D. Those who rely on others most for success.3.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. One's worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One's success in competition needs great efforts.C. One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.4. Which point of view may the author agree with?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.3. Breakdancing was announced as an Olympic sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics after the organizers proposed four additional sports, including breakdancing, surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing, to the Games in 2024."Breakdancing is a fantastic opportunity to be really in line with the story that Paris 2024wants to tell. We want those Games in connection with creativity, connected with the youth, more urban, more out of the stadiums," Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet said. "We look forward to working with breakdancing to propose a new experience."Breakdancing is a sport which can be played anytime and anywhere in urban and other environments. It has no previous appearance at the Summer Olympic Games, but was included at the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018."Right from the beginning, our aim was to offer Games that would have an impact and the element of surprise. This is why we have chosen to present to the IOC (International Olympic Committee) four sports that are creative, appealing to the youth and in line with our vision. We are certain that breakdancing, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing will contribute to strengthening our project," Estanguet added.The organizers seek to deliver three key principles in hosting the Games: sustainable and socially-responsible Games in accordance with the new norms (准则), Games in keeping with the times and inspiring new audiences and attracting young people, and Games reflecting the identity of Paris 2024, which is spectacular, culturally relevant, engaging, accessible and inclusive.Under the new IOC rules, Olympic host cities can select sports and propose them for inclusion in those Games if they are popular in that country and add to the Games' appeal. After discussion IOC agreed to add these four sports to Paris 2024.1.What can we learn about breakdancing?A.It appeals to people of all ages.B.It is the symbol of Paris.C.It can be played either indoors or outdoors.D.It was once included at the Summer Olympics.2.Why do the Paris organizers propose the inclusion of the four sports?4. Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this, young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling (运球)and shooting. It's enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others.Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis, it doesn't require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop and a ball.So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off within US citizens, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 129 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) has an increasing appeal for fans around the world.The success of basketball as a global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. "The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from forbidding African-Americans to play basketball to allowing them to play it in the NBA," the LIVESTRONG website noted.From the 1950s onwards, segregation rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capitols, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Earvin Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.It's not difficult to see that there's a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: "When it's played the way it's supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, raised above the floor, basketball lets the oppressed (受压制的) people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams."1.What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author?A. It can be played everywhere.B. It doesn't cost much.C. It doesn't require too much skill.D. It interests almost everyone.2.What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3?A. The sport was created by a PE teacher.B. The sport was not popular with people at first.C. Its rules have been changed a lot to suit new circumstances.D. The NBA, with a history of 129 years, attracts people worldwide.3.The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to ______.A. explain the origin and rules of NBA games in the 1950sB. prove the popularity of basketball among African-AmericansC. stress the success of African-Americans in basketballD. show how racial integration took place in basketball4.What do John Edgar Wideman's words mean?A. Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.B. American people usually have a basketball dream.C. Basketball stands for the freedom and hope of people.D. Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.二、七选五5. The biggest complaint I hear is, "I don't have enough time." Trust me — I get it!
