单元检测（三十七） Basketball

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

There is such a thing as winning by too much. A final score of 161-2 recently earned one winning coach of a Californian high school girls' basketball team a two-game suspension (停赛) for unsportsman-like behavior.

“The game just got away from me. I didn't expect them to be that bad. I'm not trying to embarrass anybody，” Arroyo Valley Coach Michael Anderson told the San Bernardino Sun about the blowout against Bloomington. In the second half, he played substitutes instead of starters, who played when the game began.

Hmm. Calling your competitor “bad” probably isn't helping the cause.

Coaches from other local high schools have spoken against Anderson's tactics (战术) as well. Throughout the entire first half of the game, Anderson used a full-court press, a method of playing basketball in which one team puts pressure on the other team in all parts of the court, and eventually his team won by 103 points. Bloomington only scored 1 point.

“Let them score，” Cajon Coach Mark Lehman, who led his team to victory too, said. “I don't think anyone would've had a problem if it was 161-50. But 161-2? ... Why not put up defense？”

Bloomington dealt with the loss as well as they could.

“People shouldn't feel sorry for my team，” Coach Dale Chung said after the game. “They should feel sorry for his team, which isn't learning the game the right way.”

He said he was proud of his team, because the game would hardly affect them. However, he added, “But it should affect them a little.”

The suspension doesn't seem to have changed the team's tactics much. After the 159-point win, Arroyo played against Indian Springs and won by 61 points.

“They responded as they usually do，” Arroyo's assistant coach Nick Anderson, 19, told the San Bernardino Sun of the 80-19 win. He was filling in for his dad, who was suspended.

He said, “It's nothing different. We just have a different coach. We're still going to run our game plan，like we always do.”

After I mastered my first concerto (协奏曲) at age 14, my parents decided to get me a nice violin. I tried out dozens of instruments before I found my match: a German violin. It was beautiful, but what I liked best about it was its voice. Confident and strong, it was everything I longed to be.

I'm not sure how much that violin cost, but my parents made me promise never to let it out of my sight. They didn't understand that dragging a large violin case ran_counter_to my daily middle school task of being invisible (看不见的). I was a strange, absent-minded kid. When I spoke up in class, my comments brought confused silence from teachers and wild laughter from students. Like a deer in a wolf pack, I tried to be quiet and still.

In contrast, my new violin was almost shockingly loud. Together, we could drown out the rest of my middle school orchestra — which was encouraged, since the other kids made sounds like

cats' crying. For one glorious hour every day, I was showered with attention. Everyone wanted to hear what I had to say.

Between classes, I bent under the combined weight of my violin case and a backpack filled with books. My posture suffered, but my confidence grew. With my violin by my side, I found my voice. More and more, I contributed to class discussions and even made a couple of friends.

Today, I'm just an amateur violinist with a regular day job. As I sit in my community orchestra, sometimes I feel jealous (嫉妒的) of my fellow musicians' instruments with their elegant voices. I may not be the best violinist around, but at least I'm still the loudest.

7．What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 3? A．Disappointment. C．Pride.

B．Anger. D．Regret.

解析：选C 推理判断题。由第三段中的“For one glorious hour every day, I was showered with attention. Everyone wanted to hear what I had to say.”可知，作者在拉小提琴时，总是受到大家的关注，每个人都想听他要说什么，由此可以推断作者感到非常自豪。

8．What can we infer from the text?

A．The violin changed the author in some way. B．The author hated the loud voice of his violin. C．The violin always made the author embarrassed.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms are very important. In fact, you spend one third of your life in yours. This means that you probably don't want a boring bedroom. You will not want a bedroom full of so many things that you can't get to your bed, or that is painted in your least favorite color. __1__

When you are designing a bedroom and you don't know what to do with some space in the corner, you may want to see if you can fit in a desk or a small sitting area. __2__ You might want to fill this space to get some more storage space or have somewhere to have some privacy.

Furniture is not the only thing to consider when you design your bedroom. __3__ If you aren't sure what to do, just keep your walls and furniture white, and make sure that little things are also in the same style.

__4__ You can put up dry erase boards, chalk-boards, and pictures to give your room some style. You may also want to put in a bedside table. Those are great ways to show others some of your favorite photos and lovely toys. Finally, try to find something that adds energy and life to your bedroom. __5__
