27、fe in a cruel foster-home before he finally finds a loving family.Once he settles in and realises his natural football ability,tragedy strikes again and he loses his leg due to a deadly bone cancer.Unstoppable follows Harrisons incredible journey as he faces many challenges in his life.

28、id he decided to write a novel about a kid facing cancer after watching how his wife fought to survive her own illness.“Her mental and physical toughness were more heroic to me than anything Id ever seen in the national sports leagues,” Green told TFK Kid Reporter Zachary J.Lewis. After watching his
29、 wifes battle,Green said,he knew he needed to write about a person who struggled through a serious illness.But because the target age for his books is the teen,he needed to tell the story through the eyes of someone in that age. When friends introduced Green to Jeffrey Keith,Green knew he had found
30、the right person to help him “capture the heroism that it takes to fight cancer”.Cancer-survivor Jeffrey Keith lost his leg at the age of twelve,but went on to be the goalie (守门员) for the Boston College Division 1 Lacrosse (长曲棍球) Team and was also the first amputee to run 3,300 miles across the coun
31、try.When Green heard Jeffrey Keith s story,he knew it was the perfect narrative on which to base his next book. TFK asked Keith what it felt like to read Unstoppable for the first time.“Tim captured what it felt like for me to go through this experience and battle back,” Keith said.“After I read the
32、 book,Tim asked me to describe it in one word,and I said awesome.Tims book sends a message to all the kids across the country that are facing obstacles that can have nothing to do with cancer: you are all unstoppable,as long as you believe it.” 21.What happened to Harrison after he was adopted by a
33、loving family? A.He became a goalie of a football team. B.He lost one of his legs in an accident. C.He was found to suffer from blood cancer. D.He realised he had talent for playing football. 答案:D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句可知,哈里森被一家好心人收养后,发现了自己的足球天赋。 D项正确。后来,他得了骨癌,失去一条腿,并不是因为事故,B项错误。 22.Who inspires Tim Gr
34、een to write the novel Unstoppable? A.A boy named Harrison. B.His wife. C.Zachary J.Lewis.

A.a person who has survived cancer B.a person who has
35、had a leg or an arm cut off C.a person who looks different from others D.a person who has no arms or legs 答案:B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段可知,杰弗里 吉斯因患癌症,在 12 岁时失去了一条腿。但是,他在一个 长曲棍球队继续担任守门员,并成为第一个跑遍全国 3300英里的截肢者。上文说他失去了一条腿,因 此可推测画线词意为“被截肢的人”。 24.What do we know from the last paragraph?

37、yed every game of the season.Sure, youre not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all.Do you deserve a trophy(奖杯)? If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no.Shes a psychology professor at Stanford University, California.She says a player doesnt have t
38、o be the best to get a trophy.But those who receive an award should have to work for it.She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best. “The trophy has to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK.“If we give
39、 a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best. Others say that theres no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of
40、how they played or whether or not they improved. “I think we should encourage kids participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City.“A trophy is one way to encourage kids efforts.” Barish argues that when we single out only the
41、best or even the most improved player with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything.“Winning is only part of the equation (等式),” Barish told TFK.“Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.” There will b
42、e plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish.Theyll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl.For now, he thinks theres nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winner
43、s.That means trophies for everyone. 25.According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy? A.Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team. B.David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny. C.Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals. D.Jim, a soccer player who t

45、d be given trophies for trying their best. D.Its necessary to encourage kids participation in sports. 答案:D 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段可知,Kenneth Barish 认为,我们应该鼓励孩子参加体育活动。颁发奖 杯是一种激励方式。 27.The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “ ”. A.honour B.choose C.value D.stress 答案:B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第六段可知
46、,Barish认为,当我们挑选出最佳球员或进步最大的球员并授予他 们奖杯时,给孩子传递了一个错误信号:获胜就是一切。 C Children have their own rules in playing games.They seldom need a referee(裁判) and seldom trouble to keep scores.They dont care much about who wins or loses,and it doesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished.Yet,they like games th
47、at depend a lot on luck,so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared.They also enjoy games that move in stages,in which each stage,the choosing of leaders,the picking-up of sides,or the determining of which side shall start,is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find childr
48、ens games exciting,and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again.However,it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons.He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person,and he can find himself being a useful partne
49、r to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid.He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn.He can be confident,too,in particular games,that it is his place to give orders,to pretend to be dead,to throw a ball actually at someone,or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.Everyone knows the rules,and more importantly,everyone plays according to the rules.Those rules may be childish,but they make sure that every child has a chance to win. 28
