He ran between two defenders, past a third, and a couple of seconds later his team had two more points. At the end of his final game, on April 11, he had scored 30 points.

This was the end of a career for Dwyane Wade, nicknamed “Flash”. It was the 37-year-old’s last game for the Miami Heat and his last appearance on an NBA basketball court. Over his storied career, Wade played in 1,054 regular-season games and 177 post-season games, scored more than 23,000 points, appeared in three NBA championships and earned one Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

Coming from Chicago, Wade’s attitude and style of play moved many people, including former US President Barack Obama. “Whenever you got knocked down, you always showed us how to get back up,” Obama said in a tribute video. “You showed some Chicago spirit... and you did us proud.”

Wade broke down the door to the NBA in 2003 with his outstanding ball-handling skills and jumping ability. He had a strong principle, taking practice as seriously as he took games. He trained in the gym by himself during the off-season and exercised hard to stay in shape.

Wade has also spoken out on social issues. In 2012, 17-year-old Heat fan Trayvon Martin, an African-American, was shot in a racist attack on his way home from watching the NBA All-Star Game. Wade, together with LeBron James, led the Miami Heat squad, pulling up their hoodies (连帽衫) in support of justice for Martin, who had his hoodie up when he was killed. Wade hoped this action would bring attention to racist violence.

In 2003, he founded the Wade’s World Foundation, which provides support to various education, health, and family service programs. “Obviously, I’m one person. I can’t change the world, but I can help affect change in communities,” Wade told ESPN. “That’s what I want to continue to do.”

This is not the end of Wade’s story. He wants to continue fighting for economic and social equality in the US.

1.How many games did Wade play in his professional career?

A.1,054. B.177. C.23,000. D.1,231.

2.Wade was thought highly of by Obama because of _____________.

A.his strong willpower B.his flexible playing style

C.his extraordinary skills D.his honourable ambition

3.Why did Wade and his teammates pull up their hoodies?

A.To follow Martin’s heroic behaviour. B.To speak out for Martin.

C.To try on the latest fashion. D.To show racial equality.

4.This passage is mainly about Wade’s _________.

Michael and I did not know when the waiter put the plates on our table. At the time we were sitting in a small restaurant, hidden from the busy Third Street, in New York City. Even the smell of fresh serving blintze did not interfered our conversation. In fact, we let the blintze soaked in the sour cream. We just enjoy the conversation too much that we forgot to eat. Our conversation was so delightful though we did not speak about important things. We laughed and spoke about the film which we have just watched.

While our fun conversation continued, my eyes went across the room and stop on the corner. A couple of old folks sat in there. The woman wearing the flower dress with faded color, the same with the pillow where she laid her pallid handbag. The man’s top head shined just like the boiled egg which he ate very slowly. The woman chewed her oatmeal(燕麦片) very slowly too, seemed with very much effort.

But what made my mind thought about them was the silence around them. Michael and I paid our food and went on. When we passed the corner where the couple sat, my wallet fell. When I stopped to get it, I saw under the table, they were tenderly holding each other’s hand. They were eating in silence while holding each other’s hand! I was very touched to see the simple yet the very meaningful action reflecting the close relationship of the couple.

Their silence was the pleasant and relaxing one, it was the expression of the tender love and it did not always need the words to express it. They might spend the hours holding each other’s hand like this in the morning.

When I and Michael went out of the restaurant, I thought, maybe it was nothing bad at all if some day we have something like that. Maybe, it will become the expression of the tender and complete love.

1.From the first paragraph we may know the fact that the author and Michael ___________.

A.saw a film just now

B.were talking about something important

C.talked about a film about the couple

D.laughed when they were eating

2.What did the author see on the corner of the restaurant?

A.A boiled egg.

B.A wallet.

C.Two people.

D.Delicious food.

3.We can infer from the passage that ___________.

A.the author paid little attention to the couple

B.the couple kept talking while eating

C.the author paid for the couple’s food

D.the author was moved by the couple’s action

4.Why did the author think the silence around the old couple pleasant and relaxing?

A.Because they had nothing important to talk about.

B.Because the silence expressed the tender love between them.

C.Because they spent hours keeping in silence every morning.

D.Because they were eating very slowly.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

As the three of them approached the waterfalls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Curtis Whitson could tell from the increasing roar (轰鸣）of water in the narrowing valley that they were in serious trouble. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. There was no way they'd be able to sail down the waterfall as planned.

“We've got to do something!” Whitson yelled to his wife, Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. Then he noticed and grabbed his bright red water bottle and carved “Help!”on it. Ramirez also reminded him that Hunter had a pen and paper in his backpack, with which they played a game. Whitson wrote “We are stuck here@the waterfall. Get help please!” on the paper, put the note into the bottle and threw it over the waterfalls.

They had thought they probably weren't going to get rescued that night. However, at midnight, they heard a helicopter above them. Unfortunately, the pilot didn't find a good place to land. The crew announced that they would come back the next day.

The next morning, the helicopter returned and lowered a crew member on a cable. Then rescuers lifted Hunter, Ramirez, and Whitson out of the valley one by one and put them and their gear (装备）on the closest cliff （悬崖）where the helicopter could safely land.

When the officers dropped them back at the campground, they learned more about the events that had saved them:Two men had seen the water bottle floating in the water. When they picked it up, they noticed the writing on it-“Help!” -which inspired their curiosity. Then they realized there was a note inside. After they read it, they brought it to the campground, turned the bottle in, and took off without leaving their names.

1.What trouble did the Whitsons meet with?

A.They were trapped at the top of waterfalls. B.They were lost in the travel in a small boat.

C.They were flooded by the rising river water. D.They had run out of all their drinking water.

2.Whitson used his water bottle to________.

A.play games B.send a message

C.make a time reminder D.defend the family

3.What can we infer about the place where the Whitsons stayed?

A.It was on a flat hillside. B.It was on the wide water.

C.It was between steep cliffs. D.It was at the top of a mountain.

4.How were the Whitsons finally saved?

A.They got back to the campground by themselves.

B.They were guided to climb from the valley safely.

C.They were rescued by two passers-by accidentally.

D.They were found and saved by professional rescuers.

Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum’s storytelling to Dad’s, researchers said.

They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.

More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.

"The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children's lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.

Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.

The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.

When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson.

"It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child's development," said Woolfson.

1.The underlined word “pastime” in the passage mot probably means________.

2.The author develops the passage mainly by________.

3.Reading a story with their parents helped most kids aged 3-8________.
