高中英语 Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读

Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Everyfour years,a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen tocompete for the highest honours in sports.As many as 6,000 people takepart in over 20 sports.For the winners,there are gold medals andglory.But there is honour,too,for all who compete,win or lose.That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was in Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath(宣誓)on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport—riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games.They first competed in 1900,in tennis and golf.【语篇概述】本文主要讲夏季奥运会的情况,包括运动员、裁判、开幕式、各大项目等。

All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflect the city's culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team〞 contests.For teams like Los Angeles and Utah, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Laker name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1948, team officials chose the name for its direct relationship to the state's motto, “The Land of 10，000 Lakes.〞 The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960.Because Utah's team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for itsrep utation as the “jaz z capital of the world.〞 The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.The Chicago Bull's original owner, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless, and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. A belief that Bulls...winner of the six NBA championships have definitely followed.In 1967, the Indian Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to accomplish in the NBA. Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace〞 in professional basketball.1．Which can be the best title for this passage?A. History of NBAB. Stories behind the names of NBA TeamsC. Famous NBA TeamsD. Interesting Stories about NBA2．Los Angeles' team is name d “the Laker〞 because ________．A. Los Angeles is a city of lakesB. it was named after a city treasureC. the team got this name in another city, which had a lot of lakesD. the name was selected from a “Name the Team〞 contest3．“Jazz capital of the world〞 refers to ________．A. New OrleansB. Salt LakeCityC. Los AngelesD. Minneapolis4．Richard Klein named Chicago's team ‘the Bulls〞 mainly because ________．A．he had guessed the success of the teamB．he wished the team to have the qualities of fighting bullsC．Chicago was then a city famous for fighting bullsD．people in Chicago used to like watching bull fighting答案与解析本文是一篇说明文，本文主要介绍NBA球队的队名背后的故事，在后四段里分别介绍了“洛杉矶湖人队、犹他爵士队、芝加哥公牛队和印第安纳步行者队〞这四个队名的历史由来。
