高三英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Allan Guei, 18, was a star basketball player at Compton High School in the Los Angeles area before he graduated last month. His good grades made him eligible for an unusual competition: A free-throw contest in the Compton High gymnasium. The top prize: ＄40,000 in scholarship money.

Guei, whose parents immigrated to the United States from the Ivory Coast, knew how much that financial aid could mean for his family. He was also feeling a fair share of pressure as students and teachers crushed into the gym to watch Guei and seven other randomly compete against each other.

Guei won the free-throw contest by one basket and netted the ＄40,000. But it’s what he did next that’s truly astonishing.

In the weeks following the March free-throw competition, Guei learned that he’d scored a full-ride basketball scholarship to California State University---Northridge. NCAA(全国大学生体育协会)rules allowed Guei to accept the athletic scholarship and also keep most of the ＄40,000 he had won.

But Guei couldn’t stop thinking about the seven talented runners-up from the free-throw contest. They, too, had dreams and very real needs. So, he asked Principal Jesse Jones to make a surprise announcement at Compton High’s graduation ceremony: Geui wanted to donate the ＄40,000 to the other seven students.

“I’ve already been blessed so much and I know we’re living with a bad economy, so I know this money can really help my classmates,” Guei said in a statement. “It was the right decision.”

Guei elaborated on his decision to give the money away in an interview with ESPN(体育电视网): “I was already well taken care of to go to school, to go to university for free...I felt like they needed it more than I did.”

1.While studying at Compton High School in the Los Angeles area, Allan Guei ______.

A. was famous in the United States

B. made grown-ups feel very worried

C. took part in a free-throw contest

D. showed his skills in playing basketball

2.During the free-throw contest in the Compton High gymnasium, Allan Guei felt ______.

A. delighted　　 B. stressed

C. relaxed　　 D. embarrassed

3.What made the other people astonished?

A. Guei contributed his prize to others.

B. Guei was thought highly of by Jesse.

C. Guei kept most of his scholarship.

D. Guei gained a basketball scholarship.

4.What Guei said in an interview with ESPN infers that______.

A. his family was very wealthy

B. it was very hard for him to make money

C. he was luckier than other students

D. he was always ready to help others.

5.Where can we most probably read this passage?

A. In a storybook.
