6 . In the final minutes of Auburn’s regional semi-final win against North Carolina on Friday night, disaster struck.     1     As he twisted on the floor in pain, it seemed obvious to all in the gym that this was a season-ending and career threatening injury.     2     Carolina players near Okeke had looks of sincere concern for their fallen opponent. Finally, Okeke was helped to his feet and assisted off the playing floor toward the locker room. As he left the floor, all the players of North Carolina made their way to him to express concern and encouragement.

    3     All those little things that we consider acts of good sportsmanship are things coaches can require or demand. North Carolina’s kids displayed something much more important: a high level of character. They weren’t just following a coach’s demands or trying to maintain the values of their basketball program. They had sincere concern for their fallen opponent.

And you may not have noticed that college basketball is being flooded with high character kids. It hasn’t always been this way. Back in the 1980’s, academic standards were lower for college admission for athletes.     4     It’s pretty amazing what happens when you raise standards for young people instead of making excuses for them. Simply put, I’m a firm believer that lower standards produce lower quality of effort. If you demand less, you’ll get less. Expecting and requiring more of athletes has produced some pretty favorable results.     5    

A．And the actions on the floor just proved this.

B．His teammates rushed to his side to check on him.

C．We will have less people that can score.

D．The actions of these players go beyond sportsmanship.

E．I’m often impressed with great players and good teams.

F．Star player Okeke went down with a non-contact injury.

G．But in 1986, academic requirements for fresh student athletes were raised.

7 . Over the years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive   cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’ s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.

Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.

Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.

Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.

There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit   as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even   the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.

1. What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?

A．To compare skills of participants.

B．To make the audience feel amused.

C．To attract more people to watch events.

D．To cheer up the competitors on the court.

A．examine	B．identify
C．combine	D．replace

3. We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.

A．lacks necessary guidelines to follow

B．enjoys greater popularity than other sports

C．requires more designed actions than gymnastics

D．has a relatively high rate of damage to the body

4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

Jack Green was the football coach at an American college. He was appointed to find good players, and they weren’t smart enough to be accepted.
One day, the coach has brought an excellent player to the director of the college and suggested the student allowed to enter without an examination. “Well,” the director said after thinking for a while, “I’d better ask you a few questions first.” Then the student was called for and asked some easier questions, but he didn’t know any of the answers. At last the director said, “Well, what is thirty – four minus two?” It was quite a long time when the student answered, “Thirty – three.” The director threw up his hands and looked at the coach disappointed, but the coach said, “Oh, please let him in, sir! He was only wrong by two comparing with all the others.”

9 . While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.

The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.

I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.

I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.

But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.

No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.

A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he was recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.

In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.

1. From the passage we can learn that the young man ________

A．made his turn to start back pitifully.

B．was skillful in freestyle in the game.

C．swam faster than the average swimmer.

D．was not capable enough to win the medal.

2. The crowd changed their attitudes because ________

A．they felt sorry for the young man.

B．they were moved by the young man.

C．they wanted to show their sympathy.

D．they meant to please the young man.

3. According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______.

A．it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills

B．it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself

C．it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors

D．it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals

4. What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Compete for Gold!

B．Try again!

C．Break a Record!

D．Go for it!
