1、（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

2、 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 Kobes unmatchable determination to be the best that distinguished him from his

3、 peers. He named it mamba mentality, after the black mamba, one of the worlds 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 me

4、ntal 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 its grown into something athletes and even non-athlete

5、s 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. Thats what leads to introspection(反省) and thats what lead

6、s 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 youre a basketball player or not, you cant deny Kobes power to inspire you to be your best self.1.What can b

10、gacy 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. Ot

11、hers 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

12、, 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

13、 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. Th

14、ey 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 doesnt matter because I really didnt 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 w

15、ould 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 ones self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic a

16、nd 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.

Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.4.

19、 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 t

20、he 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 2024 wants to tell. We want those Games in connection with creativity, connec

21、ted 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 appearanc

22、e 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) fo

23、ur 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: sustai

24、nable 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 t

25、he 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.

Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this, young people somewhere in the w

27、orld are happily passing, dribbling (运球)and shooting. Its enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others. Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis, it doesnt require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and ten

28、nis 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.

29、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. T

30、he 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 playin

31、g 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. Its not d

32、ifficult to see that theres 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 its played the way its supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air;

33、 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.
