|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 理清双线，把握文脉
本篇课文是由两部分组成的记叙文。此类文章一般有两条线索，一条是情节线(明线)，记叙故事的发展情节，如本文讲述因身材矮小而只能充当替补队员的Paul，通过不断努力，在关键时刻帮助自己的球队转败为胜的经过；一条是情感线(暗线)，描述人物情感的变化，如本文的暗线是通过讲述Paul的经历，告诉人们看似没有优势的人，也可以通过努力取得成功，引导我们树立积极的价值观。对于此类文章，命题的顺序一般会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，因此我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络，然后按照行文顺序答题。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team.
赏析：句中使用的“have a strong desire”属于高级表达，形象又恰到好处，更能表达出Paul想要上场比赛的迫切愿望。
2．Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other.Pain raced through my body.My knee hurt badly.
赏析：句中使用suddenly刻画出双方相撞的偶然性以及程度，为后文raced through形象地描述疼痛的蔓延做铺垫。
①(升级黑体词汇)If you really want to be successful, you really need to be passionate and determined about what you do.________________
②(完成句子)As the time is running out, these students have to ____________________ on the test paper.
时间不够了，这些学生只好匆匆忙忙地做完卷子上剩下的题目。
(二)赏句式之高
1．When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV.My favourite player was LeBron James.Paul's favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.
赏析：句中when引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候”；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词the court；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词a guy; although引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管”，其中含有that引导的宾语从句。作者运用这一系列高级句式叙述了作者和保罗的基本情况，为下文故事的开展奠定了基础。
2．Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more.
赏析：这是一个主从复合句。第一个that引导宾语从句，其中being shorter than other players为动名词短语作主语；第二个that引导宾语从句，作谓语动词meant的宾语。本句形象地刻画了保罗清晰地了解自己的短板，因而刻苦练习的心理感受。
①(同义句转换)Girls looking after small children get 3,000 yuan a month.
→Girls ________________________ get 3,000 yuan a month.
②(完成句子)____________________________， everyone enjoyed it.
尽管这项活动很有挑战性，但每个人都很喜欢。
(三)赏描摹之韵
1．(动作描写)Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court.And clearly, all the extra hours that he'd spent practising alone paid off.The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed.He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop clapping and cheering.
赏析：一个人的成功不仅来自自身的努力，往往还有他人的肯定。一句简单的肯定，一个欣赏的眼光都会让渴望成功的人得到更多前进的力量。保罗在球场上一系列的动作以及得到的回应恰恰说明了“努力和赞赏是一个人成功的关键”。
2．(对话描写)Paul once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me？”
赏析：相信自己是实现成功的关键，因此，在拼搏前行的道路上，我们不仅要有梦想，更要有自信。保罗使用反问的语气彰显自己的自信，这也是他能够取得成功的关键。因果相联，值得回味。
3．(对话描写)“I don't think I can play anymore, coach，” I said quietly as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee.
“No way，” the coach replied sharply.“We've got no more players！”
赏析：该部分使用了对话描写，将作者受伤后的表现与教练的反应展现得淋漓尽致。记叙文中使用对话描写能够彰显人物个性，增强文章的真实性和现场感。成功的人物对话对展示人物的身份、神态、情感及内心世界，揭示人物的思想品质，起到十分重要的作用。
(1)翻译并体会下面动作描写的句子
①He yawned and stretched his back as he got out of bed.
他起床的时候，________________________。
②She looked her father straight in the eye and answered his question truthfully.
她________________________，诚实地回答了他的问题。
(2)完成句子
③Working in such a competitive industry, I've sometimes thought, “________________________________.”
在这个竞争如此激烈的行业中工作，我有时会想，“我不能再这样下去了。”
(四)赏修辞之功
He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him.
赏析：句中“on the bench”采用借代的修辞手法，形象地说明了保罗作为替补队员的情形。
(翻译句子)His pen influences half of the civilized world.
________________________________________________________________________

Traditional Chinese Sports
For thousands of years, sports have played an important role in Chinese culture. Let's explore some of the most popular traditional sports in China.
Dragon Boat Racing
Originating (起源) from the southern regions of China, dragon boat racing is a thrilling water sport. The races are held during the Dragon Boat Festival, which takes place on the 5th day of the 5th lunar (阴历) month each year. This festival is in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and involves various cultural activities.
Martial Arts (武术)
Martial arts have a rich history in China and are practiced for self-defense, physical fitness, and spiritual growth. Various styles such as Tai Chi, Kung Fu, and Wing Chun have gained worldwide recognition. These practices emphasize discipline, balance, and control of mind and body.
Jianzi (Shuttlecock)
Jianzi is a traditional Chinese game that involves kicking a shuttlecock (毽子) in the air using one's feet, knees, or other body parts except for hands. It requires agility, coordination, and precision. Jianzi can be played individually or in teams and is a popular pastime in parks and streets across China.
Chinese Chess (Xiangqi)
Similar to the Western game of chess, Xiangqi is a strategic board game played between two players. It originated in ancient China and is often referred to as “Chinese chess”. The game features different pieces, each with unique movements and abilities. Xiangqi requires critical thinking, foresight, and strategic planning.

From a young age, I would climb up and down for fun.My first introduction to gymnastics was through my older sister Arielle, who used to be a gymnast.She taught me how to do my first cartwheel (侧手翻)．By the end of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid in gymnastics.”
At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path.I was used to the public eye, but the Olympic stage was different.The Olympics teach you to act in a certain way and to be disciplined (自律的)．They teach you to be a mature young lady, and you grow up fast.
When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics.I thought it was: Training.I had to quit a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn't mind.I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a different coach.I sacrificed my privacy.Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep with.It takes a lot to be an Olympic athlete.You may have a talent, but the people who work harder than you will overtake you.
Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me.When someone tells you that you can't do it, especially when there are many people, you start to believe it.It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics.Fear held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it.I went to the world championships and got a team gold.
I won three gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and helped Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 World Championships.My mom used to say, “Inspire a generation.” It's one thing when you say it, but I never thought that I would be a pioneer and that people would draw inspiration from my story.
