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 shots 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 want to do is just be myself... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation and a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, and 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 bett er every single day.” Inspiring others to have faith 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 demonstrated that nothing is impossible.1.What's Stephen's first basket?A.A second-hand basket bought by his grandfather.B.A piece of plastic attached to a telephone pole.C.A new one built in the woods nearby.D.A wooden one picked up behind the house.2.How did Stephen Curry settle the problem that it was hard to know where the ball would go?A.To play in a small court.B.To adjust his own style.C.To strengthen the plastic backboard.D.To bounce the ball in all directions.3.How did Stephen Curry win others' recognition?A.With his accurate shots and continuous efforts.B.By joining the Golden State Warriors.C.By following in his father's footsteps.D.With the help of his grandfather.4.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To explain why Stephen Curry was doubted by many people.B.To inform people about Stephen Curry's basketball skills.C.To inspire people with Stephen Curry's determination to succeed.D.To tell what Stephen Curry has achieved during his career.Ⅱ.语法填空The FIFA World Cup attracts worldwide attention. But have you ever considered how watching the World Cup might affect 1(you) health?Watching sports might have some positive consequences. 2(support) a team can give people a sense of community and boost fans' self-esteem when their team wins. Jason Lanter is a psychology professor at Kutztown University who studies the 3(behave) of sports fans. Lanter says people feel like they fit in. They know there 4(be) good psychological and health benefits simply from being part of a group.On the other hand, however, when watching 5intense match like the World Cup, people's pulse can 6(easy) spike(激增), which could cause heart attacks, especially when their teams lose. On the day in 1998 when Argentina defeated England in the World Cup, 55 more people 7(admit) to hospitals due to heart attacks, 8(compare) to an average day in England. British research revealed that apart 9heart attacks, the excitement, disappointment and flow of adrenalin from watching a national team play might also cause more domestic violence.John Ryan, a cardiologist at the University of Utah advised people to stay hydrated, stay cool and eat and drink alcohol in moderation. He said those pieces of advice 10we found useful for life in general were also useful while we were watching sports games.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.6.7.8.9.10.Ⅲ.概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Unit 4 【A卷（基础专练）】一、根据首字母填空1．As she got better, she d to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school.【答案】(d)ared【详解】句意：当她变得更好时，她敢于在全班面前唱歌，然后在全校唱歌。

根据“to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school”结合首字母d可推出是敢于在全班甚至全校面前唱歌，dare敢；根据“got”可知用一般过去时，dare的过去式是dared。

故填(d)ared。

2．Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to d with her shyness.【答案】(d)eal【详解】句意：Candy告诉我，她过去很害羞，于是开始唱歌来克服她的害羞。

根据“took up singing to d... with her shyness”可推出是唱歌来应对害羞，deal with处理，克服。

动词不定式表目的。

故填(d)eal。

3．Li Wen’s unhappiness began to i his schoolwork.【答案】(i)nfluence【详解】句意：李文的不愉快开始影响他的学业。

固定搭配：begin to do sth“开始做某事”，故此空应填动词原形。

根据“Li Wen's unhappiness”及“his schoolwork”，可知，不愉快开始影响学业，influence“影响”，故填(i)nfluence。

4．I know my parents love me and they’re always p of me.【答案】(p)roud【详解】句意：我知道我的父母爱我，他们总是为我感到骄傲。

[00:41.52]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, [00:45.47]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:51.63]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served,[00:55.66]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:03.96]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling.[01:09.48]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance.[01:14.19]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had.[01:19.73]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:23.65]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted.[01:28.38]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:32.48]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:35.94]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something — they just wanted to be warm.[01:44.01]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:47.18]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.[01:52.74]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:56.79]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. [02:00.93]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting.[02:05.09]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:12.07]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:15.98]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:20.22]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son.[02:25.10]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment.[02:32.03]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:35.74]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:43.20]The whole class was touched.[02:45.34]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn — UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:05.81]Listen and Respond[00:08.87]Attitude Is Everything[00:12.53]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:15.46]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:22.52]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:25.29]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:31.51]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:37.44]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:39.70]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:42.52]How do yo u do it”[00:45.24]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:53.41]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:58.89]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:01.46]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:08.30]I choose to learn from it.[01:10.88]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:16.56]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:23.05]“Yeah, right.[01:24.25]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:25.94]I said.[01:27.13]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:30.30]“Life is all about choices.[01:32.75]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:35.67]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel. [01:43.93]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:49.18]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:54.09]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:56.80]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:05.83]Listen and Respond[00:08.68]Follow Your Dream[00:12.62]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:18.50]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.[00:23.83]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:27.54]He loved horses.[00:29.55]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:37.49]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:45.22]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch [00:48.88]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:53.10]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:56.41]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:00.81]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:03.42]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you. [01:07.50]You have no money.[01:09.06]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:12.73]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch.[01:18.49]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:21.86]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper again[01:26.28]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:31.32]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. [01:35.09]He asked his father what he should do.[01:38.24]His father said, “Lo ok, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:44.59]However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:50.55]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:59.39]He said to t he teacher, “You can keep the F andI’ll keep my dream.[02:04.34]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:08.55]Now years have passed.[02:10.70]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:14.52]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:5.15]Listen and Respond[0:8.23]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:13.75]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:17.65]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:25.57]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative?[0:33.31]— Are people really dull?[0:35.38]Or are we all, in fact, creative?[0:39.12]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:42.24]The whole essence of a baby is creative — it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:51.37]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:58.85]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that —it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:5.57]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:10.51]You can’t make your child creative.[1:13.57]It simply is creative.[1:16.96]Then, how can our children be still more creative? [1:21.67]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:26.96]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:34.70]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create. [1:42.06]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:5.18]Listen and Respond[0:7.62]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:11.23]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:17.95]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:22.13]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:27.98]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:31.38]They agreed that it was.[0:34.52]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:40.88]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks.[0:46.50]“Is this jar filled now”[0:48.81]Yes, the students said.[0:51.48]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle.[0:55.89]The sand filled in everything else.[0:58.67]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:5.91]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:11.73]The students laughed loudly.[1:15.17]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:24.41]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:30.67]your children — things that would still remain evenif everything else were lost, and your life would still be full. [1:39.37]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:45.74]The sand is everything else.[1:47.84]The small stuff.[1:49.26]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:55.56]“The same goes for your life.[1:58.43]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:5.13]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:12.00]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on.[2:17.03]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter.[2:21.61]Set your priorities.[2:23.44]The else is just sand.”[2:26.37]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:29.50]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:34.70]“I am glad you asked.”[2:36.24]He replied.[2:37.54]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem,[2:41.99]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:5.84]Listen and Respond[0:8.63]Be a Team Player[0:11.12]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:16.87]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player,[0:21.82]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game,[0:26.38]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:30.22]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team.[0:34.75]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game.[0:39.62]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports.[0:44.54]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:51.34]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player,[0:55.83]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline.[1:0.59]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:6.92]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:10.48]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:18.69]Human beings are social creatures.[1:21.12]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:4.50]Listen and Respond[0:6.95]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:13.10]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:19.41]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.[0:24.85]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:29.72]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.[0:35.16]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them,[0:40.19]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third. [0:44.66]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing.[0:50.12]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:58.26]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:2.31]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:7.09]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:14.08]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced[1:20.02]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently.[1:25.79]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak.[1:31.09]The eggs had been weak.[1:33.26]But after being boiled their inside became hardened. [1:37.59]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:40.51]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:47.09]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react?[1:53.82]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:59.17]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?[2:4.74]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst,[2:8.94]you get better and make things better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:04.44]Listen and Respond[00:06.96]The Unexpected Rescue[00:10.29]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:17.57]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was[00:21.93]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes.[00:26.33]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked.[00:30.41]Should I get involved?[00:31.82]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:39.28]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police?[00:43.53]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:50.78]I knew I had to act fast.[00:53.30]How could I walk away from this?[00:55.52]No, I finally decided.[00:57.53]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:00.19]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life. [01:05.00]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:08.33]I don’t know where I found the courage and physical strength,[01:12.15]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:18.62]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman.[01:22.77]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:25.23]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:30.38]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree.[01:34.97]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:41.17]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance.[01:46.04]“It’s OK.”[01:47.20]I comforted her.[01:48.80]“The man ran away.[01:50.62]You are safe now.”[01:53.81]There was a long pause...[01:56.25]I heard the words in amazement.[01:59.21]“Daddy, is that you”[02:01.97]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。

A recent study asked parents to report on their children's mental and physical health as well as their own mental health. One in 14 children aged 0-17 years had a parent who reported poor mental health, and those children were more likely to have poor general health and a mental or developmental disability.Being mentally healthy during childhood includes reaching developmental milestones, learning healthy social skills and how to solve problems. Mentally healthy children are more likely to have a happy life and are more likely to work well at home, in school, and in their communities.A child's healthy development depends on their parents who serve as their first sources of support in becoming independent and leading healthy and successful lives.The mental health of parents and children is connected in many ways. Parents who have their own mental health challenges, such as dealing with anxiety （fear or worry）, may have more difficulty providing care for their children compared to parents who describe their mental health as good. Caring for children can create challenges for parents, particularly if they lack support, which can have a negative effect on a parent's mental health. Parents and children may also experience shared risks, such as living in unsafe environments, and the like.Fathers are important for improving children's mental health, although they are not as often included in research studies as mothers. The recent study looked at fathers and found similar connections between their mental health and their children's general and mental health as for mothers. Fathers and mothers need support, which, in turn, can help them support their children's mental health.4. What does the study mainly focus on?A. Some useful social skills.B. Children's future life.C. Parent-child mental health.D. Community's influence.5. Which is a challenge for parents according to the text?A. Raising kids without support.B. Living in a strange place.C.

They seldom bear the responsibility.D. They can influence children's health.7. Where can the text be found?A. In a diary.B. In a book review.C. In a magazine.D. In a children's story.Ⅴ.完形填空I had this girl in my class and I always considered her to be really foolish.
