Wilt Chamberlain is retired now, but he used to be a famous basketball player. He has set 65 different records and still holds many of them. During the final years of his career, he drew a large salary and became very wealthy. He even built himself a 1.5 million dollars house. Yet, despite his personal success, he led his teams to only one championship. His teams often won enough games to qualify for the final rounds, but they almost always lost in the finals. As a result, Wilt became determined to win one more championship before he retired. In 1972, while Wilt was playing against a New York team, he fell down and hit his wrist on the floor. He felt pain immediately and knew that he had hurt himself badly. When the doctor examined Wilt, the doctor confirmed Wilt’s fears. The doctor told Wilt that he had broken a bone in the wrist and that he could not play any more. Wilt ignored his doctor’s advice. The next night, with his many fans watching in amazement, he not only played the entire game, but he was outstanding. His team won the game and the championship. Wilt had his wish — to be a winner one last time. Questions 11 — 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. Why was Wilt Chamberlain considered a famous basketball player? A. Because he led his teams to many championships. B. Because he set as many as 65 different records. C. Because he still played the game after he retired. D. Because he didn’t stop playing even when he was seriously injured. 12. What happened to Wilt Chamberlain during a match in 1972? A. He lost the final chance to win a championship. B. He was knocked out during one contest. C. He broke a bone in the wrist during a match. D. He was awarded with a $1.5 million house. 13. What was Wilt Chamberlain determined to do before he retired? A. To break the previous records. B. To buy a luxury house. C. To win one more championship for his team. D. To play against the New York team once again. 答案解析 文章简单介绍了著名篮球运动员张伯伦的传奇篮球生涯。 11.答案是B。主旨题。短文第一句话介绍了张伯伦(Chamberlain)曾经是著名的篮球运动员的身份，第二句话：“He has set sixty-five different records.”(他创下了65项不同的世界纪录。)点明了本题的答案。D项是干扰项，尽管与文章内容相符，它并不是Chamberlain成名的原因。 12.答案是C。推断题。短文中间部分，详细叙述了Wilt在1972年的一场比赛中摔折手腕骨的经过，尽管受伤严重，他还坚持上场，结果他的球队终于取得了冠军。因此判断A、B项是错误的。D不符合短文事实，短文说他是花了150万美元($1.5 million)自己建造了房子。所以正确答案是C。 13.答案是C。细节题。短文中有一句话：“As a result，Wilt became determined to win one more championship before he retired.”正好是本题的答案。 相关资料 |
