题目内容
10．Sports are the base of my life，next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us．I have been into sports since I was six years old．I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips，but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play．When I was in Senior Two，I met the new school basketball coach，Brian Pawloski．I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before．I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem．That was a big mistake．
Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met．He didn't expect 100% effort，he expected 200% effort．One example：he once made us do 40suicide drills for the 40lay-ups （投篮） we missed in a game．Some think this is crazy，but it isn't．After this conditioning practice，as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink，I said，"coach，that was the best practice I ever had．"I was completely sincere．This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school．He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．If I am not working on basketball，I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges，including Wooden，Coach，and The Screwtape Letters．
In the first two years I slacked off，not putting forth my full potential．Now，unlike the coaches of my youth，this man was interested in how he did off the court．He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted．I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball，but more importantly，in life．My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach，coach and influence their students．I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual．

分析 本文讲述了体育运动在自己的人生过程中的作用，尤其是高中时遇到了一位既非常严厉有非常对自己有帮助的教练，对自己的人生之路帮助颇多．
解答 60．答案 C 细节理解题．由第一段最后一句话"I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips，but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play．"和第三段倒数第二句"He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．"可知其他教练通常关注于球场上的技能，而布莱恩教练期待队员们在学业上也做得很好．故正确答案为C．
61．答案 D 推理判断题．根据下文"我"没有完全释放"我"的潜能（not putting forth my full potential）可知，作者在最初的两年里没有很努力（made less effort）．pay no attention"没有注意"，show no interest"没有兴趣"，have less passion"缺少激情"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为D．
62．答案 A 细节理解题．根据原文第三段"He didn't expect 100% effort，…he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups （投篮） we missed in a game．"体现出他对我们要求严格；第四段"I can honestly say that …but more importantly，in life．"体现出他对我的人生很有帮助．因此选 A．而 B 选项"honest"诚实的、C"cruel"残酷的和 D 选项"professional"专业的和"serious"严肃的，原文中均未提到，因此排除．故正确答案为A．
