2、Kids in a Sudanese refugee（难民）camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football. NBA superstar Tracy McCray watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass pitch（运动场）for $1. 000.

Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil. Or maybe he just wants to do something ― anything ― to give these children some hope. But he is told, politely, that grass is not what the kids need.

This scene appears in 3 Point, a new documentary（纪录片）, which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face to face with the reality that life is more than sport.

McGrady,29, writes on his website that he traveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in news. “Who were the faces behind the numbers?” He said. “I needed to see it for myself.

And he did. He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine（饥荒）. He slept in a tent. He kept away from minefields. He talked with people who have been suffering. And he swallowed（咽下）his pride.

But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass. Sports gave him a chance, so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.

McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college.

Instead, he leaped right into the NBA. Since that move, basketball has given him a handsome living, but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people.

As McGrady would learn in Africa, most people see sports as just a break from life’s difficulties. They don’t mistake it for 1ife itself.

Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him, but I’d bet that, at the very least, it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.

McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring. He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.

But, perhaps, now he knows he doesn’t have to in order to truly make a difference in the world.

49. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. While in Africa, McGrady behaved considerately.

B. The trip to Africa has changed McGrady’s life totally.

C. McGrady should be blamed for wanting to buy kids grass pitch.

D. McGrady suffered as much as the African kids in his childhood.

50. What does the underlined word “eyed” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?

A. Admired.           B. Selected.                  C. Examined.         D. Researched.

51. After becoming an NBA player, McGrady ________.

A. leads a different life from ordinary people

B. lives far away from other people

C. was once removed from NBA

D. refused to go to college

52. In this passage, the writer mainly tells us ________.

A. McGrady took a trip to Africa

B. African people lead a poor life today

C. African people don’t take sport for life

D. McGrady offered his help to African children

1、THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS

（Mr. Jones, the owner of a farm, was one day driven out of the farm by all the animals he raised. The animals were excited to be free and independent. More important, they were masters of their own and, of course, their farm. Animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.）

1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.

2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.

3. No animal shall wear clothes.

4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.

5. No animal shall drink alcohol.

6. No animal shall kill any other animal.

7. All animals are equal.

It was very neatly written, and except that “friend” was written “friend” and one of the “S’s” was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the Commandments by heart.

“Now, comrades,” cried Snowball, throwing down the paintbrush, “to the hayfield! Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”

But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, let out a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders（乳房）were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets（桶）and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters（蹄子）being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.

“What is going to happen to all that milk?” said someone.

“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food,” said one of the hens.

“Never mind the milk, comrades!” cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting.”

So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.

41. Who is the leader of the animals?

A. Snowball.                  B. Jones.               C. Napoleon.          D. Cows.

42. When does the story take place?

A. In spring.                  B. In summer.        C. In fall.               D. In winter.

43. What can we infer from the story?

A. The animals are doing a play.

B. The animals will live a equal life.

C. The animals are having a revolution.

D. The animals don’t think they are equal.

44. Who is regarded as the animals’ enemy?

A. The chicken.                                         B. The human being.

C. The cow.                                              D. The pig.
