The road success
1 Near the small town of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry's grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.

第二部分：精读
分段阅读，完成细节理解题：
a far cry from 与……大相径庭；完全不同**
- 文本溯源：*A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the NBA...*
考点：
- 用法：后接名词/名词短语，表“对比差异”
His new life is a far cry from his poor childhood.。
写作应用：用于“今昔对比、场景反差”的描述（如“乡村学校的条件a far cry from城市学校”）
2 Like his father,basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn't realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot. the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn't easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.
Question 1
What can be inferred about the basketball court built by Stephen Curry’s grandfather
A. It was professionally constructed for training purposes.
B. It lacked stability and predictability in gameplay.
C. It attracted many young players from nearby towns.
D. It had a metal backboard attached to a wooden pole.
考查能力点：推理判断 + 细节整合
详解： 正确答案是 B。
文中提到：“the weak plastic backboard gave way” 和 “bumps and rocks... caused the ball to bounce in all directions”，说明这个球场设施简陋，反弹不可预测，正因如此才锻炼了库里应对不确定性能力。A项错误（非专业建造）；C项无依据；D项与“plastic”矛盾。此题考查学生能否从描述性语言中推断出隐含特征。
让步；屈服；倒塌；让路
Question 2
Which of the following best describes the function of the first two paragraphs
A. To compare Stephen Curry with his father Dell Curry.
B. To explain how early experiences shaped Stephen’s playing style.
C. To criticize the poor conditions of rural sports facilities.
D. To introduce the history of basketball in Virginia.
考查能力点：段落功能 + 篇章结构分析
详解： 正确答案是 B。
前两段通过描写童年打球环境，揭示这些经历如何培养了他的创造力、灵活性和精准投篮能力，为后文成功做铺垫。A项仅为部分内容；C项偏离主题；D项无关宏旨。此题测试学生对“背景叙述服务于人物成长”的叙事逻辑的理解。
where 引导的表语从句” 表地点/抽象“场所”**
- 文本例句：*...it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player.*
考点：
- 作用：`where`在表语从句中作**地点状语**，此处既指“泥泞的球场这个地方”，也隐含“在这种（困难的）环境里”的抽象含义。
- 拓展：表语从句还可由`that`/`what`/`how`等引导（如`The question is how we can solve it.`）。
四川考情：语法填空“从句引导词”考点（需判断`where`表“地点/抽象场所”的用法），写作中可用于“描述成长环境的影响”。
3 Despite his father's successful career. Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally ended up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson's star player.
Question 3
What does the author suggest about Stephen Curry’s physical build during high school
A. He was considered ideal for a professional basketball career.
B. He faced doubts due to his size and strength.
C. He gained popularity because of his athletic appearance.
D. He trained harder than others to improve his physique.
考查能力点：细节理解 + 态度识别
详解： 正确答案是 B。
原文说：“too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps”，且“including his high school teammates and coaches”都这样认为，说明他遭受普遍质疑。这反映社会偏见与个人坚持之间的张力，也为后文逆袭埋下伏笔。D项虽合理，但未直接提及训练身体
追随某人的脚步；效仿某人**
despite 引导“让步状语” 表“尽管；不管”**
- 文本例句：*Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people...*
- 考点：
- 用法：`despite`是**介词**，后接**名词/代词/动名词**（不能接从句，若接从句用`in spite of the fact that...`或`although`）。
- 对比：`despite`（介词）；`in spite of`（短语介词，用法同`despite`）；`although`（连词，接从句）。
四川考情：语法填空/短文改错常考“介词与连词混用”（如`Despite he is rich...`→`Although he is rich...`），写作中用于“辩证类表达”（如*Despite difficulties, he never gave up. 尽管有困难，他从未放弃*）。
4 for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone's expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.
Question 4
Stephen Curry joined the Golden State Warriors ________.
A. immediately after high school
B. after being overlooked in the NBA draft
C. in 2009, following his college career
D. before winning his first championship
考查能力点：事实排序 + 时间线索追踪
详解： 正确答案是 C。
原文：“Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors.” 同时，“In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship”，因此C正确。D也正确但不够完整（join在win之前），而C包含时间+事件，最准确。此类题常出现在高考七选五或排序题中。
Selected
5 After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, "I never really set out to change the game... What I wanted to do was just be myself... I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of , value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You've got to be able to put in the time and the work. That's how I got here. That's how I continue to get better every single day." Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.
Question 5
According to Stephen Curry, what is the key to continuous improvement
A. Natural talent and genetic advantage
B. Believing in oneself and working consistently
C. Having famous mentors and role models D. Playing for a championship-winning team
考查能力点：观点提取 + 主旨归纳
详解： 正确答案是 B。
引用原话：“You've got to be able to put in the time and the work. That's how I got here... get better every single day.” 强调努力与坚持。A项与全文主旨相悖（他并不被看好）；C、D非重点。此题呼应“成长型思维”教育理念。
it

哲学；人生信条'人生理念
连续地；接连地
活生生的例子；明证
what 引导的从句” 作主语/宾语**
- 文本例句：
- *what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become*（第一个`what`引导主语从句，第二个`what`引导宾语从句）；
- *What I wanted to do was just be myself*（`what`引导主语从句）。
考点：
- `what`从句相当于“名词 + 定语从句”（如`what you need` = `the thing that you need`）。
- 写作应用：用于“表达观点/描述想法”（如`What matters most is your attitude. 最重要的是你的态度`）。
四川考情：语法填空“从句引导词”高频考点（需判断`what`/`that`/`which`的区别），作文中用`what`从句可提升句式复杂度。
that 引导的同位语从句” 解释抽象名词**
- 文本例句：*Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become.*
考点：`that`在同位语从句中**不充当成分，无意义**，仅起“连接作用”；常跟`proof`/`fact`/`news`/`idea`等抽象名词。
写作应用：用于“强化观点的权威性”（如`There is no doubt that hard work leads to success. 毫无疑问，努力造就成功`）。
