阅读理解。
When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him
scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy,
a small school on Manhattan's West Side.
At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who
already gained his fames as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly.
As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a
basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor
was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an
undefeated season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly
away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than
they had to. Wearing size 16 D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by
starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight
of the fans.
When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly.
He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable
talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following
him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape,
Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. "People want you not for yourself,"
Donohue warned him, "but because you're a basketball player. Don't forget that."
1. Many schools offer Alcindor scholarships because ______.
A. he was young
B. he was hardworking
C. he was tall for his age
D. he was skillful at playing basketball .
2. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach
A. serious, popular and slow
B. tall, skillful and successful
C. kind, powerful and undefeated
D. well-known, strict and experienced
3. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up
A. Their teams refused to play Power.
B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor.
C. Their teams would lose courage.
D. Their teams would lose interest.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss
A. How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press.

C. Why the press followed Alcindor closed.
D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly

阅读理解。 After 13 years and 46,00
阅读理解。
After 13 years and 46,000 miles the British traveler Jason Lewis finished the round-the-world journey
using human power alone. He crossed five continents, two oceans and a sea to become the first peson to
go around the globe only depending on himself and using his own power. He finally returned to the UK on
Saturday, crossing the Greenwich Meridian Line (格林威治子午线), in his specially-designed, 8-meter-long,
pedal-powered (脚蹬动力的) boat, "Moksha". It was the same place where his journey began on July, 1994
when he was just 26 years old.
Jason used many kinds of transport methods during his great joumey,such as riding, swimming, boating,
and skating. His journey took him west from Britain to the USA and then to Australia, Asia, and Africa before
returning to Europe from the east.
The journey was not without dangers: in Colorado Jason was knocked down by a truck whose driver had
drunk a lot of wine while riding at the side of the road. He spend six weeks in hospital and nearly lost one of
his legs. After the accident, Jason was robbed (抢劫) and beaten several times on his journey, sent to prison
(监狱) by the Australian army that considered him to be a spy, and ran after by a lion in Egypt. But on the
way he raised money to help the poor children around the world. He also developed an education program for
schoolchildren while he was on his journey.
Next the world traveller may have a rest for a while. "I've seen enough deserts. I've climbed beautiful
green hills. I have slept in the open air in Australia and sat by the fire drinking a bottle of beer," said Jason.
"but I do miss our British. It's really nice to be with the people who are always smiling to each other."
