Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coac
26、hes 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
27、high school All American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on be 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 16D shoes a
28、nd 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
29、talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grownups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him,
30、“but because youre a basketball player. Dont forget that.”56.

33、 chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.And youve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who dont understand you.Across the globe,
34、every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” onlinemany of them are talking at the same time.Its fast: try talking to six people at once. Its brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. Theres neither
35、time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom youre talking to? Ty

37、 back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shif

In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted 71 saying poetry aloud or giving speeches
54、.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known 72_ the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into 73 (exist) with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry.Two type
55、s of tests are 74 (common) used in modern schools. The first type is sometimes called an “objective” test. It 75 _ (intend) to deal with facts, not personal opinions. On objective tests, the student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and then he must copy its letter or number on
56、to his examination paper. Sometimes there is 76 answer sheet on which the four letters or numbers are printed. Then the student only has to circle the one 77 go with the correct answer.For testing some kinds of learning, however , such a test is not very satisfactory. A lively student 78 guess the c
57、orrect answer without really knowing the material.For a clearer picture of 79 the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use “essay” tests, and the tests require students to write long answers to broad, general questions. When some essay que
58、stions are used along with some objective questions, 80 , a fairly clear picture of the students knowledge and ability can usually be obtained.录音材料原文 Text 1W: Do you think we should paint our bedroom yellow or light blue?M: Why not pink?Text 2M: When will you be leaving for your planned holiday in H
