Ali
Raised in a small home in a modest Louisville, Kentucky neighborhood, Clay would rise to dominate headlines, boxing and otherwise, and become Muhammad Ali before his twenty-third birthday. He would stretch his "fifteen minutes of fame" into an incredible legacy that will last for generations to come.
Spurred by the theft of his prized new bicycle, the 12-year old Ali began to study the art of boxing. Vowing to never be victimized again, he spent his teen years at the gym, molding both his body and mind into championship caliber. But not even the ever-confident Ali could have fathomed the career that waited in his future: a Golden Gloves champion at age 17, an Olympic gold medalist at age 18, an undefeated heavyweight champion at age 22. But this, as they say, was just the beginning.
Ali would continue his trek to boxing and, ultimately, social dominance in the coming years. His professional career began with a victory over Tunney Hunsaker on October 29, 1960, and would end some twenty-one years later with a loss to Trevor Berbick on December 11, 1981, only his fifth loss in more than two decades of professional boxing. Always inspired by the toughest of challenges, Ali would face many of history's greatest fighters, almost always leaving the ring victorious. He would win the world heavyweight championship three times by utilizing his lethal combination of blinding speed and awesome power. As Ali's speed slowed with time, his intelligence and cunning became his main weapons in the ring. Watching Ali perform his magic in the ring was a near breathtaking experience, and the combination of brute force and beautiful choreography exhibited by Ali created a visual experience difficult to forget.
However, perhaps Ali's greatest moments came in the life he led outside the ring. Ali was as confident in the public circle as he was in the boxing ring, and he continued to meet every challenge with a mind that was as powerful as his fists. As a black man living in an era that continued to question his rights as a person, Ali faced and battled issues of race and class, and to this day ranks as one of the champions of the Civil Rights movement. His conversion to Islam, and his subsequent refusal to be inducted into the military, created the largest controversy of his life and he was stripped of his heavyweight title. Not surprisingly, this adversity only made Ali stronger, prouder, and more determined than ever to live his life with dignity and by his own conviction. And while it may have looked to some that the count was nearing ten and the final bell was about to ring, Ali emerged from this battle with chin high and hands raised, and years later would be selected the greatest athlete of modern times by Sports Illustrated.
No other athlete has transcended the glamour and glory pinned to the lapels of sports champions the way Muhammad Ali has. His grace under fire, his confidence tinged with cockiness, the spirit of his convictions, and his pride of self make Muhammad Ali not only the greatest sports figure who ever lived, but one of the greatest human beings to ever grace the Earth. Ali was truly a champion of the people, a hero in the truest sense of the word, and a testament to humanity. Ali used to say, "I am the greatest." And he is.

状语从句重难点讲解
本模块中我们复习了时间状语从句、条件状语从句和让步状语从句。下面我们来看看这三种从句中需要注意的几点。
时间状语从句
1. before / since
“It be + 一段时间 + before ...”结构，在肯定句中常译为“多久之后才……”；在否定句中常译为“不久之后就……”。如：
It will be three years before he graduates from university.
It was not long before he found another job.
“It is / has been + 一段时间 + since ...”结构中, since从句的谓语动词多用一般过去时，表示动作或状态的完成，计时的起点是动作或状态完成的那一时刻。在语义上，从句动词为延续性动词时，含有否定的意味；从句动词为非延续性动词时，含有肯定的意味。如：
It is 3 years since he were here. （表示“他不在这儿已经3年了”）
It is 3 years since he stopped smoking. （表示“他不抽烟已经3年了”）
2. when / as / while
表示“当……时”，when引导的从句的动作和主句的动作可以同时发生，也可先后发生，从句中的动词既可以是延续性的，也可以是非延续性的；as，while引导的从句强调主句和从句的动作同时发生，并且从句中的动词通常是延续性的。如：
When I lived there, I used to go to the seashore on Sundays.
While you were reading the paper, I was working.
As the kids walked home, they sang happily.
注意：当从句表示“随着”时，连词只能用as。如：
As the day went on, the weather got worse.
3. till / until
两者都表示“一直到……；直到……才”，基本上可以互换，但till一般不位于句首。当表示主句动作延续到某时才停止时，主句用肯定句；当表示主句动作到某时才开始发生时，主句用否定句。如：
I’ll wait here until / till the result comes out.
(wait这个动作延续到the result comes out停止，主句用肯定句)
I won’t leave here until / till the result comes out.
(leave这个瞬间动作到the result comes out才发生，主句用否定句)
条件状语从句
1. only if意为“只有，只要”，位于句首时句子用倒装结构。如：
Only if you put your heart into your work can you realise your dream.
2. 引导条件状语从句的从属连词有：if，unless，so / as long as, in case, on condition that, suppose / supposing, provided that等。
让步状语从句
1. as / though / although
as 引导让步状语从句必须采用倒装结构，常用结构为“形容词、副词、名词（其前不用冠词）、动词 + as + 主语 + 其他”。though比较口语化，为了强调， 从句可以倒装；although 比较正式，多用于句首；两者都不与but连用，但可与still，yet，nevertheless连用。如：
Young though / as he is, he runs the company successfully.
Though / Although we warned him about the danger of travelling in the forest alone, he went there without telling us.
2. “no matter + 疑问词”或“疑问词 + ever”引导让步状语从句，意为“不管……；无论……”，后面用陈述句语序。 whether ... or ..., 也可表示让步关系， 意为“不管……还是……”。如：
Whatever (= No matter what) you say, he won’t believe you.
I’ll not have you worry about her whether she’s well or ill.
练习：
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Nancy enjoyed herself so much _____ she visited her friends in Sydney last year.
A. that B. which C. when D. where
2. A small car is big enough for a family of three _____ you need more space for baggage.
A. once B. because C. if D. unless
3. I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long, but it’ll still be some time _____ Brian get back.

Known as the first blind person to top Mount Qomolangma, Erik Weihenmayer once worked as a middle school teacher. Actually, Weihenmayer began to lose his sight when he was a teenager. Rather than focus on things that he could not do, like playing baseball, driving a car or riding a bike, Weihenmayer began to focus on things he could do and could do well. As a natural athlete, he then became interested in rock climbing, and always imagined what it would be like standing on top of the world.
One day, Weihenmayer decided to climb Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. He prepared for the climb by repeatedly running up and down the stairs in a 50-story building while wearing a 70-pound backpack. When the time approached for him and his friends to climb Mount McKinley, some small changes had to be made for Weihenmayer. He found that by attaching small bells to the climber ahead of him, he could confidently follow without having to ask for directions. At last, Weihenmayer made it safely up Mount McKinley and back down again.
Then Weihenmayer went on to climb Mount Qomolangma. Many people thought it was too dangerous and foolish even to try. Others questioned how safe his climbing partners would feel. They wondered what Weihenmayer could do if his partners were in jeopardy. Actually, during the climb there was a time when he and a partner were caught in the dark when their headlights failed. It was Weihenmayer who led his partner to safety, because he was the better climber in the dark.
These days, when Weihenmayer is not climbing, he speaks to audiences across the country. He encourages them to work toward their goals no matter what difficulties may come their way. He talks to people both blind and sighted about leadership, motivation and teamwork. According to Weihenmayer, “A vision (憧憬) is deeper than a goal; it’s where all your goals spring from.”

As a large, deep, freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness is best known for the so-called sightings of the mysterious Loch Ness monster. For many years it has been supposed that there is a large dinosaur-like monster in Loch Ness. However, several scientific studies have been conducted and these have not shown any presence of such a monster. Many people believe that the size (21 square miles) and great depth of the lake (almost 800 feet), together with possible underwater caves, gives the monster many places to hide. Regardless of the truth, the suggestion of the monster’s existence makes Loch Ness one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions.
Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish lake by surface area after Loch Lomond, but as for its depth it is the largest by volume (容量). Its deepest point is 230m (754 feet), deeper than the height of London’s BT (British Telecom) Tower at 189m (620 feet) and deeper than any other lake besides Loch Morar. It contains more fresh water than all lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water on the Great Glen geologic fault (大峡谷断层) which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south. The Caledonian Canal, which connects the sea at either end of the fault, uses Loch Ness for part of its route. It is one of a series of interconnected, dark bodies of water in Scotland; its water visibility (能见度) is extremely low because of a high peat (泥煤) content in the surrounding soil.
The only island on Loch Ness is Cherry Island, visible at its southwestern end, near Fort Augustus. It is a crannog, which is a form of artificial (人工的) island. (Most crannogs were constructed during the Iron Age.) At Drumnadrochit is the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre which explores the mystery through the natural history of Loch Ness. Traveling on ships for pleasure is now available, and it gives visitors the chance to look for the monster. And there are more tourist attractions where the whole family can relax and have fun.
29. What can we learn about the Loch Ness monster
A. It has moved to live in a nearby lake.
B. It looks much bigger than a dinosaur.
C. It was once found in an underwater cave.
D. Whether or not it exists is still unknown.
30. According to the text, Loch Ness _____.
A. is the second deepest lake after Loch Morar
B. is the largest freshwater lake in Europe
C. has only existed for over one century
D. has a depth of more than 800 feet
31. What will the author most probably talk about next
A. Why there was a monster in Loch Ness.
B. What people can do on Cherry Island.
C. Where people can enjoy themselves.
D. How Loch Ness came into being.
32. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.
A. discuss
B. introduce
C. educate

Is cursive writing (草写体) an out-of-date skill in today’s technological society The new education standards for English do not require cursive. However, schools are still allowed to teach cursive if they choose. Some schools are considering giving up cursive, since it is not on standardized tests. This topic is now being discussed in teacher lunchrooms around the country. We invited some inspired teachers to weigh in. Here’s what one of them, Eldra Avery, has to say.
I failed a handwriting assignment (作业) in eighth grade, but my teacher told me that I was well able to have that type of handwriting. So I improved my handwriting and now have beautiful cursive handwriting. I teach English, and at times I ask my students to do assignments in cursive. Since they will be taking timed writing exams throughout their educational career, it is necessary that they practice writing at a speed that will allow them to finish their task. When you have three letters connected in a word, it flows, and when you lift your pen only at the end of a word, it is faster than printing (印刷体), which lifts the pen at the completion of each letter.
Handwriting is a reflection (反映) of our humanity. We dream of a future with more advanced technology and less labor (劳动), but truthfully, if technology prevents us from using skills that are essentially human, I wonder if that can be called “progress.” Cursive connects us to our past and our future. If students can’t write cursive, they can’t read cursive. And if they can’t read cursive, how can they read historical papers like the Declaration of Independence
Writing cursive is a process that helps improve language learning. Copying text by hand does a lot of good to students. My students complete a poetry analysis paper each year. Many of them tell me that they couldn’t begin to understand their poem until they copied it by hand. Handwriting is a valuable communication munication through handwriting will always be a necessity. To imagine that the whole world communicates by typing would be a rather poor view.
33. According to Paragraph 1, teachers are discussing _____.
A. whether cursive should be taught
B. whether students should read cursive
C. how to look at handwriting assignments
D. how to improve students’ cursive writing
34. Why does Ms. Avery mention her students in the last paragraph
A. To show the positive side of handwriting.
B. To introduce an effective learning method.
C. To show the importance of copying poems.
D. To share her first-hand teaching experience.
35. Ms. Avery would probably agree that _____.
A. handwriting should be replaced by typing
B. there should be fewer standardized tests
C. cursive is more effective than printing
D. cursive helps us learn about the future

John Harrison has been a taste tester for the past 21 years. 36 As a kid, he’d wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer.
37 Four generations (代) of Harrisons have been in the business, including his great-grandfather, who owned two ice-cream shops in New York City in the 1880s, his father, who owned a dairy-ingredients (乳品原料) factory in Georgia, and his uncle, who owned an ice-cream factory in Tennessee. At his uncle’s factory, he “tasted and ate” his way through high school and college as he learned how to make ice cream.
Every morning Harrison tastes 60 ice-cream samples (样品). At the beginning, he takes the containers of ice cream out of a big storage freezer. 38 The temperature in the storage freezer is -20 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温度). Most people eat ice cream at between 0 and 5 degrees.
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. 39 He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive. If there are added goodies in the ice cream, such as fruit, chocolate chips or nuts, he makes sure that they are evenly (均匀地) spread throughout and that the sample doesn’t have too much or too little of the added ingredients.
40 With his gold-plated spoon, which he uses to avoid the aftertaste plastic or wood can give, Harrison removes the top of the sample. Then he turns the spoon upside down and puts the spoonful onto his tongue slowly.
A. Next, it’s time to taste!
B. Harrison has a degree in chemistry.
C. Actually, ice cream runs in Harrison’s family.
D. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” Harrison explains.
E. Then he lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 degrees.
F. Harrison hadn’t always wanted to be in the ice-cream business.
G. “I’ve developed a way of tasting called the Three S’s,” Harrison says.

马拉松
马拉松，这是一个光荣的名字。这个位于雅典以东40多公里远的小镇随着马拉松赛跑运动员的脚步声而闻名于天下。雅典人曾在这里以大无畏的英雄气概以少胜多，打败了入侵的波斯军队。发生于公元前490年的马拉松战役已成为世界战争史上的经典战例。
波斯帝国从公元前553年起，在不到3年的时间里，就摧枯拉朽般捣毁了小亚细亚强国米底亚和巴比伦，成为世界历史上第一个横跨欧非亚的大帝国。公元前 492年春，波斯派出大批战舰越海作战，企图一举征服其觊觎已久的希腊。历史上著名的希波战争拉开了战幕。但天有不测风云，波斯海军遭到了大风暴，300 艘战舰和二万多名官兵全部葬身海底。第一次军事行动就这样半途而废。公元前491年，波斯皇帝大流士派出使者到希腊各城邦索要“水和土”，也就是要希腊人 自动投降。希腊一些弱小城邦惧怕波斯帝国的武力，不得不表示屈服，一时间投降的阴云笼罩着整个希腊半岛。在这个危急关头，希腊最大的两个城邦雅典和斯巴达 挺身而出，斯巴达人把波斯使者丢进水井，雅典人把波斯使者从悬崖抛入大海，“要水与土吗？自己去取吧！”
大流士恼羞成怒，决定再次起兵讨伐雅典和斯巴达。公元前490年，波斯大军横渡爱琴海，在雅典郊外的马拉松平原登陆。大兵压境，雅典紧急动员，加强战备， 同时派人日夜兼程到斯巴达求教，但斯巴达人却以祖宗规定月圆之夜才能出兵为由拒绝伸出援助之手。雅典人毫不气馁，雅典的10将军执政会议经过激烈争论，最 终决定采取积极防御的方针。他们把青壮年男性公民全部组织起来，甚至武装了部分奴隶。1万大军加上1千援兵连夜赶往马拉松，占据了有利地形。
雅典的青壮年男子都上了前线，妇女老幼却夜不能寐，战场上的形势牵动着他们的心。全雅典的留守人员都集中在雅典城墙外的一个山坡上，焦急地等待着决定命运的消息。
面对10万装备精良的敌军，雅典指挥官米提亚迪斯决定不与敌人硬拼，而把战线稍稍拉长，把精锐步兵安排在两侧，正面战线上只安排了两排兵力。
公元前490年9月12日清晨，一场永垂史册的大战开始了，雅典人首先向强敌发动进攻。波斯人在最初的慌乱之后，很快就稳住了阵脚，并向雅典人阵地中部节 节逼近。正当波斯人以为胜券在握时，埋伏在两侧的希腊士兵以迅雷不及掩耳之势冲出，从两侧夹击敌军。波斯军队顿时三面受敌，首尾不能相顾，慌忙逃向海边， 企图登船逃跑。希腊军队追到海边，和波斯人奋力展开夺船战斗。战斗以波斯军队大败而告终，波斯人丢下了6400具尸体，雅典人仅牺牲了192人，其中包括 执政官卡利乌斯和几位将军。
战斗胜利了！雅典保住了！指挥官米提亚迪斯派军中的长跑能手菲里庇斯去向城中父老报告胜利的喜讯。这位长跑能手虽然在战斗中受了伤，但依然拼命奔跑，因为 他知道同胞们正在急切地等待消息。当他见到在焦急中等候的城中父老时，他激动中喊了一声“我们胜利了”，然后便一头栽倒在地，再也没有醒来。
马拉松战役是希腊人战胜波斯人的第一仗。这个胜利极大地鼓舞了希腊人为祖国而战的斗志，为最终战胜波斯人打下了良好的基础。
为了纪念这场战役的胜利和英勇的战士菲里庇斯，在1896年举行的第一届现代国际奥林匹克运动会上，国际奥委会设立了马拉松长跑比赛项目，距离是42公 里。后来经重新测定当年菲里庇斯经过的路线，在1942年的奥运会上将马拉松长跑距离最终确定为42公里195米。菲里庇斯的名字和马拉松战役随着奥林匹 克运动会的圣火一代又一代地留传下去。
现在，在当年雅典人浴血奋战的地方建立起了一座马拉松纪念墙。墙前的地面上有一条起跑线，据说这里就是当年菲里庇斯奉命出发的起点。
在离马拉松起跑线4公里远的地方，有一座圆形的土丘，下面埋葬着当年在马拉松战役中牺牲的希腊将士的遗骸。从这里已经发掘出了一些当年的兵器和铠甲。不远处有一座小小的马拉松考古博物馆。

Give the students enough time to prepare and then ask two students to read their articles.
A sample version:
The Olympic Games started in Olympia, Greece over 2,700 years ago. The Olympics were banned by Roman emperor Theodosius 393 AD. In 1896, they were revived by Frenchman, Baron de Coubertin.
At first ancient games lasted only one day. There were few sports. They were running, long jump, boxing, horse riding, and athletics. The Olympics have been developing. The 2004 Olympics in Athens lasted 16 days, much longer than before. Over 10,000 sportsmen and sportswomen took part in 28 different sports.
Modern Olympics started in 1896. The champion is James Connolly. In the 2004 Olympics, the USA won the most gold medals and China ranked the second.
There are three things that we should know. One is that time is measured in 100ths of a second. Another is that the five Olympic rings stand for the five continents. The last thing is that the important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part.
T: As we know the 2008 Olympics will be held in China. Now please write notes about the Olympic Games in China. They should contain the following.

The events will be held in the main Olympic stadium ― the national stadium, the building is to be based on a nest-like design, planned jointly by Swiss and Chinese architects. By that time, the visitors of many other countries will come to China. They may come here to cheer for their athletes or learn something about China.

Nothing Stops Ronaldo
Football star Ronaldo is one of the world’s top players, and he can’t stop winning! He has just won the prize for the Best Latin-American Football Player in the Spanish League on Monday. The Real Madrid player said he wants to keep on winning. “I do not get tired of winning, and I must keep on working hard.”
He feels he is now playing the best football of his football life.
He showed talent from an early age. At 17, he was a player of the Brazilian national team. When he was 21 and 22, he won the prize of World Footballer of the year. He was the youngest player in the world to win it and the only one to win twice in a row. But his road to success has been difficult. Since he hurt his knee badly in 1998, he had some other injuries.

86-year-old Man in Marathon for 63rd Time
Johnny Kelley is 86 years old. He has just run the last seven miles of the Boston Marathon. After his run, he went to the medical center to have his blood pressure checked. The nurse was surprised and pleased to see that his blood pressure was 139 over 84. She told him that his blood pressure was “out-standing”.
Johnny Kelley is known as the great-grandfather of the Boston Marathon, he ran the entire 26 miles of the marathon 63 times. This year was the second time that he has cut back and run only part of it. Kelley holds the record for running more Boston Marathons than anyone else. To honor Kelley, a statue of him has been placed along the marathon route.
Thousands of people cheer for him as he runs the course. Today, an 11-year-old boy called out to Kelley, “Hey, Mr. Kelley you’re awesome. Super awesome!” Kelley nods and thanks people as he runs. “It’s wonderful.” he says. “People come out in the road to shake my hand. I’m cheered by thousands and thousands, I think a lot of them thought I ran the entire race. And maybe they cheered for me because they know me after all these years and they don’t know the other runners.”
The 29th Olympic Games in Beijing
When the 29th Olympic Games are held in Beijing in 2008, it will be a place where dreams come true. And the building that will hold those dreams is to be based on a nest (巢)-like design, planned jointly (共同地) by Swiss and Chinese architects (建筑师).
The plan is for the main Olympic stadium — the national stadium. Nest-like walls surrounding the stadium like a steel net proved to be a popular design. It won more than half the votes of over 6,000 visitors to an exhibition of 13 possible designs, which ended on March 31.
Guan Zhaoye, chairman of the group of official judges, said, “The top design is a perfect meeting of elegance (典雅)and simplicity.”
The stand (看台) is a bowl-shape running circle. “People’s attention can be focused on the competitive events instead of the stadium itself.” said Li Xinggang, one of the architects. “The excited crowds will become part of the building and they will stimulate (激发) the athletes.” Many visitors said that the model is unusual, practical and mixes modern architecture with traditional Chinese culture.
“I think it shows the idea of a nest where new life grows up. It is a really good idea.” said one visitor.
But others disagreed and were unhappy about the building looking like a birdcage.
The 80,000-seat stadium, to be built in north Beijing, will host the opening and closing ceremonies (仪式)as well as track-and-field events during the 2008 Olympics.Construction work is set to start at the end of this year.
Pele’s Biography
PELE (born 1940) “Soccer in its purest form” was played by Pele, a South American superstar who was the world’s most famous and highest-paid athlete when he joined a North American team in 1975. He led the Brazilian national soccer team to win three World Cup victories in 1958, 1962, and 1970 and to permanent possession of the Jules Rimet. He was born to a poor family on Oct. 23, 1940, in Tres Coracoes, Brazil. He began playing for a local minor-league club when he was a teenager. He made his debut with the Santos Football Club in 1956. With Pele at inside left forward, the team won several South American clubs’ cups and the 1962 world club championship, in addition to the three World Cup championships.
Pele scored his 1,000th goal in 1969. The legendary athlete retired in 1974 but made a comeback in 1975 after accepting a reported 7-million-dollar contract for three years with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. He said he came out of retirement, not for the money, but to “make soccer truly popular in the United States.” His farewell appearance was against his old Santos club in 1977.
Pele, whose nickname does not mean anything, became a Brazilian national hero and was also known as Perola Negra.
An average-sized man, he was blessed with speed, great balance, tremendous vision, the ability to control the ball superbly, and the ability to shoot powerfully and accurately with either foot and with his head. In his career he played in 1,363 matches and scored 1,282 goals. His best season was 1958, when he scored 139 times. In addition to his accomplishments in sports, he published several best-selling autobiographies, starred in several documentary and semi documentary films, and composed numerous musical pieces, including the entire sound track for the film ‘Pele’ (1977). He was the 1978 recipient of the International Peace Award, and in 1980 he was named athlete of the century.
