He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all. “Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it. ”“But what can I do?”“Get out and have a look round. ” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it. ”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition. Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair motorcycles.

This isn’t referring to China, but Manchester, UK. 2 Indeed, Chinese products have gone global. 3 But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in,but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish. ” 4 In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机)are Chinese models,according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country. In the past,most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. 5 “Made in China” has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands. For example, Huawei, one of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year, behind only Samsung, noted consulting (咨询)firm Counterpoint Research. “They are beautiful and offer some unique features American phones don’t have,” CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another Jamaican teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed the eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet player and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time was not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短跑). “Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympics she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year later at the World Championship in Britain, becoming world champion with a time of 10. 73—the fourth record ever. Shelly Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly Ann’s friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse’s roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything. It didn’t take long for Shelly Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports. But Shelly Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighboring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighborhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world. As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision. ” One of the things Shelly Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth. 【语篇概述】本文介绍了著名女飞人Shelly Ann从不被人看好到成为奥运冠军,再到最后成为世界上跑得最快的女性的事迹。1. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly Ann?A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble. B. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets. C. She had big problems maintaining her performance. D. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段中Stephen Francis observed the eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet player and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. 可知Stephen Francis因为感觉到了Shelly Ann的潜力,所以决定训练她,故D项正确。2. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?A. Her sprinting career would not last long. B. She badly needed to set higher goals. C. She would become a promising star. D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段中concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. 可知在2008年奥运会前短跑界认为Shelly Ann的成绩只是昙花一现,不会持久,故A项正确。3. By mentioning Muhammad Ali’s words, the author intends to tell us that _______. A. players should be highly inspired by coachesB. motivation allows great athletes to be on the topC. hard work is necessary in one’s achievementsD. great athletes need to concentrate on patience【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章中介绍的Shelly Ann的事迹可推断出作者引用这句话是想告诉我们动机会让伟大的运动员达到巅峰的,故选B。4. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Key to High PerformanceB. The Dream for ChampionshipC. The Making of a Great AthleteD. The Power of Full Responsibility【解析】选C。主旨大意题。本文介绍了著名女飞人Shelly Ann从不被人看好到成为奥运冠军,再到最后成为世界上跑得最快的女性的事迹。所以The Making of a Great Athlete(一个伟大运动员的产生)是最佳题目,故选C。BJeremy Shu-How Lin is an American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association. Lin was born on August 23, 1988 in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in a Christian family in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Palo Alto. His parents, Gie-Ming and Shirley, emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in the mid-1970s. They are dual nationals of both China and the US. Lin’s parents are both 5 feet 6 inches tall. His maternal grandmother’s family was tall, and her father was over 6 feet. Lin has an older brother, Josh, and a younger brother, Joseph.

He was named first-team All-State and Northern California Division II Player of the Year, ending his senior year averaging 15. 1 points, 7. 1 assists, 6. 2 rebounds and 5. 0 steals. Lin sent his resume and a DVD of highlights of his high school basketball career to many universities. Harvard and Brown were the only teams that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams. In July 2005, then—Harvard assistant coach Bill Holden saw that Lin was 6 feet 3 inches, which fit the physical attributes he was seeking, and he had a 4. 2 grade point average in high school, which fit Harvard’s academic standards. However, Holden was not initially impressed with Lin’s on-court abilities, and told Lin’s high school basketball coach, Peter Diepenbrock, that Lin was a “Division III player”. Later that week, Holden saw Lin playing in a much more competitive game, driving to the basket at every opportunity with the “instincts of a killer”. Lin became a top-priority for Holden. Harvard coaches feared that Stanford, close to Lin’s home, would offer Lin a scholarship, but it did not, and Lin chose to attend Harvard. Joe Lacob, incoming Warriors’s owner and Stanford booster, said,“Stanford’s failure to accept Lin was really stupid. The kid was right across the street. If you can’t recognize that, you’ve got a problem. ” Kerry Keating, the UCLA assistant who offered Lin the opportunity to walk-on, said in hindsight that Lin would probably have ended up starting at point guard for UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles ) . 【语篇概述】本文介绍了NBA著名球星林书豪的成功经历。5.
