Can a star basketball player also be a star hip-hop singer? If you ask Shaquille O'Neal and some of his NBA fellows, they'll say "Sure".          In the NBA, hip-hop music is as common as the jump shot. Hip-hop is similar (相似的) to rap (说唱) music and is especially popular with young African Americans. This music is played before basketball games or during halftime. Many of the players, like Shaquille O'Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers, write rap rhymes when they travel on airplanes from one city to another.           The NBA has a closer connection to hip-hop than any other sports league. This is partly because of the large number of African-American players, but also because the basketball league just loves hip-hop. Every February, the NBA invites popular rap singers to perform (表演) at its All-Star weekend.          When they play basketball, some of the younger stars even try to look like hip-hop singers. Like rap stars, they don't smile in photographs and videos. They try to trouble the players on the other team by looking tough(凶). "Hip-hop is just part of many players'culture (文化) ," says Kerry Kittles, a player on the New Jersey Neis team. "All of us grew up listening to rap and playing basketball, and the rappers grew up doing the same thing. A lot of players want to be rappers, and a lot of rappers would like to be players."          Master P. is a famous rap star who wants to be a basketball player. The Charlotte Homets and the Toronto Raptors have invited him to their training camps. They enjoy listening to his music, but many people think that he is not good enough at basketball to be on an NBA team.          Shaquille O'Neal, whose nickname is Shaq, is the greatest example of an NBA player who became a rapper. He has made four successful rap albums. One of his rap songs, "It Was All a Dream," tells how he felt when he became successful.

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
