2018年P(guān)ETS三級(jí)考試聽力資料（3）

　　Wilt Chamberlain is retired now, but he used to be a famous basketball player. He has set 65 different records and still holds many of them. During the final years of his career, he drew a large salary and became very wealthy. He even built himself a 1.5 million dollars house. Yet, despite his personal success, he led his teams to only one championship. His teams often won enough games to qualify for the final rounds, but they almost always lost in the finals. As a result, Wilt became determined to win one more championship before he retired. In 1972, while Wilt was playing against a New York team, he fell down and hit his wrist on the floor. He felt pain immediately and knew that he had hurt himself badly. When the doctor examined Wilt, the doctor confirmed Wilt's fears. The doctor told Wilt that he had broken a bone in the wrist and that he could not play any more. Wilt ignored his doctor's advice. The next night, with his many fans watching in amazement, he not only played the entire game, but he was outstanding. His team won the game and the championship. Wilt had his wish — to be a winner one last time.

　　答案解析

　　文章簡(jiǎn)單介紹了著名籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員張伯倫的傳奇籃球生涯。

　　11.答案是B。主旨題。短文第一句話介紹了張伯倫(Chamberlain)曾經(jīng)是著名的籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員的身份，第二句話：“He has set sixty-five different records.”(他創(chuàng)下了65項(xiàng)不同的世界紀(jì)錄。)點(diǎn)明了本題的答案。D項(xiàng)是干擾項(xiàng)，盡管與文章內(nèi)容相符，它并不是Chamberlain成名的原因。

　　12.答案是C。推斷題。短文中間部分，詳細(xì)敘述了Wilt在1972年的一場(chǎng)比賽中摔折手腕骨的經(jīng)過(guò)，盡管受傷嚴(yán)重，他還堅(jiān)持上場(chǎng)，結(jié)果他的球隊(duì)終于取得了冠軍。因此判斷A、B項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的。D不符合短文事實(shí)，短文說(shuō)他是花了150萬(wàn)美元($1.5 million)自己建造了房子。所以正確答案是C。

　　13.答案是C。細(xì)節(jié)題。短文中有一句話：“As a result，Wilt became determined to win one more championship before he retired.”正好是本題的答案。
