三．阅读理解（共25小题，每小题2分，共计50分）

第一节 阅读下列材料，从四个选项中挑出最佳选项。

A

I had passed the roughly painted sign often on my way to and from work. In bold red letters, it read “Peaches-U-Pick 3 miles”. Finally, driving with my husband one day, I decided to check it out.

Less than a mile down the road, we came upon another peaches sign with a red arrow pointing right. Then, we came to a path leading away from the main road. Once on the path, we saw a smaller sign with only a red arrow directing us into a field of all grass. We walked through and found a red-tailed hawk (鹰) sitting on the fence. When we got closer, it flew off screaming loudly. ―He must be the lookout, I joked. We came out on the other side of the field to find another red arrow guiding us deeper into the woods. At exactly the three-mile point, we were greeted by a yellow dog, who looked as if he had been standing there waiting. We parked the car in the shade of trees, and found two more dogs, several cats, and peach trees as far as the eye could see. No one seemed to be home.

Nearby, a wooden table was topped with baskets, a map of the orchards (果园) and a message which read: Welcome, friends. Peaches are $5 per basket. Pick all you want. Then put the money in the box below. Have fun.

Well, I said loudly, looking at the dogs, “do you guys want to pick peaches?” They started barking and jumping around, then raced off ahead. We followed the dogs to the woods where the trees were loaded with beautiful ripe fruit. I ran to one tree, my husband to another, each of us followed by a dog. When our baskets were full, we turned back, our new friends heading the way.

The biggest tiger cat I had ever seen was asleep next to the money box. “Do you think he can count? I asked.” After what we’ve seen today, my husband replied, “he probably can make change.” We were patting the dogs goodbye when a car pulled in. “ Do you live here?” the driver asked. “No, but they’ll show you what to do.” I said, nodding at our furry hosts.

As we drove off slowly, we looked back on ---- a simple place of pure enjoyment.

Without superstars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, who was Team USA’s star player in the FIBA World Championship (锦标赛)? The answer, says USA Today, is Kevin Durant. Although he turns just 22 on September 29, the newspaper says “he is in position to be the face of USA basketball in the future, too”. Why him, you may wonder?

The numbers say it all. Durant averaged(平均得分) a team-high of 17.7 points in 23.3 minutes. He helped Americans win their first world championship in 16 years and was also named MVP (most valuable player) in the competition. Durant has enjoyed rapid career development since he joined the NBA in 2007. He has won many awards---- rookie (新人) of the year and youngest scoring champion. However, the world championship was his first major international action.

Why was that?

The Washington Post reports that Durant was cut in the last minute from a team that went on to play in the 2008 Olympics. He was part of a team asked to practice with the Olympic squad (队伍) as it prepared for Beijing.

“Leaning (靠着) back in a chair, arms folded after his task was complete, Durant looked around a gym as Bryant, James, Dwyane Wade and the other stars… filled up bags with sweats (球衣) and shoes, getting ready for the long flight to China,” writes Michael Lee, reporter with the Washington Post.

“I wanted to be a part of it badly. I prayed (祈祷) every night that they would pick me,” Durant told Lee. “Only the best guys （人员）get picked, so I got to work to be one of them. Hopefully before

I’m done, I can be on an Olympic team.” Now Durant is in a different position: He may well be the most important player on the team which will play at the 2012 London Olympics.

In August, Durant was surprised when he didn’
