Former pro basketball player Kobe Bryant won five NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers while making himself as one of the game’s all-time greats. He died tragically in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020.
Kobe Bryant was born with basketball already in his blood. His dad was a former NBA star Joe “Jellybean” Bryant. Born on August 23, 1978, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kobe spent his early years in Italy, because his dad started playing basketball in Europe and his family moved there. The family moved back to the United States when Kobe was 13 and he started playing high school basketball.
Kobe knew he was already good enough to play in the NBA, so he skipped college and was selected right after high school. He played in the NBA All-Star Game for the first time in 1998 and by 2000, Kobe had developed into one of the best basketballs players. Kobe and Shaquille O’Neal teamed up to lead the LA Lakers to three straight NBA Championship (冠军) Titles from 2000 to 2002.
In 2003, Kobe was caught by the police. In 2004, the case against Kobe was dropped, but Kobe still had to live with a damaged reputation. In 2004, Kobe tried to prove that he could lead the LA Lakers without Shaq. After Kobe told the Lakers he wouldn’t be wearing the purple and gold if Shaq was in the team, O’Neal was traded to the Miami Heat before the 2004-2005 season.
In 2008, Bryant was named Most Valuable Player and carried his team to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Boston Celtics. In the 2009 NBA Finals, the Lakers beat the Orlando Magic to win the championship.
Although later seasons were affected by injuries, he surpassed (超越) Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA all-time scoring list in December 2014 and retired in 2016 after scoring 60 points in his final game.

David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner. He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was living in fear for a number of years until he discovered his passion for running. After winning an essay contest, he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10. 99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold. Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.

He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles, noting that a he grew up he struggled with depression. It’s important to be in sync with your running partner. His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown, because he’s fast. A 10- or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking, Steward says. “It’s also an honor,”Brown says. He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward, who could theoretically run solo but chose not to. He calls it “a great honor”.

“She’s really pushing the sport to a new level.” said British freestyler Zoe Atkin, who finished 26 (nine). “It’s really great to see and it’s so inspiring. It makes me 27 (want) to be a better skier. I think she’s 28 (amaze)for the sport.”

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了谷爱凌在北京冬奥会自由式滑雪女子U型池决赛时的突出表现。
21．考查形容词。句意：周五。在北京冬奥会的最后一轮比赛中，18岁的自由式滑雪运动员谷爱凌干脆把U型场地变成了自己的游乐场。分析该句成分可知，所填词在此处作playground的定语，所以用所给名词的形容词形式。故填personal。
22．考查形容词的比较级。句意：她在第一次测试中获得了93.25分的热身成绩，然后在第二次测试中获得了95.25分的高分。根据空后的并列成分and bigger可知，此处应用high的比较级形式。故填higher。
23．考查固定句型。句意：她跑了两圈之后就遥遥领先了，以至于她可以在U型跑道上无忧无虑地跑着庆祝。such a+形容词+名词+that…意为“如此的一个……以至于……”，为固定用法，that引导结果状语从句。故填that
24．考查介词。句意：这就是谷爱凌梦想的那种奔跑：一种嬉戏的奔跑。dream of/about 意为“梦想着……”，为固定短语。of/about
25．考查冠词。句意：完美的奔跑为比赛画上了圆满的句号。此处的contest 特指谷爱凌刚参加的那场比赛，所以与定冠词the连用。故填the。
26．考查数词。句意：“她真的把这项运动推向了一个新的水平”，获得第九名的英国花式运动员佐伊·阿特金说道。根据“获得了第九名”可知，这里应该用序数词ninth。另外，表示排位时，序数词前不加定冠词。故填ninth。
27．考查非谓语动词。句意：这让我想成为一个更好的滑雪者。make sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”，故此处用所给动词的原形，作宾语补足语。故填want。
28．考查非谓语动词。句意：我认为她在这项运动上很了不起。表示“令人惊异的”，此处用所给动词对应的形容词amazing，在句中作表语。故填amazing。
29．考查名词。句意：谷爱凌和她在奥运会上的表现受到了很大的压力和关注。根据该空前的修饰词her可知，所填词为名词，所以用所给动词的名词形式。performance既可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词；作可数名词时，此处用复数形式表泛指。故填performance(s)。
30．考查连词。句意：她只想着赢得奖牌，享受这项运动。根据句意可知，此处表示并列关系，所以用并列连词and。故填and。
