Remembering Golf Star Arnold Palmer
缅怀高尔夫球星阿诺德·帕尔默
American Arnold Palmer, known as “The King” of professional golf, died on Sunday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
He was 87-years-old.
The head of his company, Arnold Palmer Enterprises, confirmed that Palmer died from issues related to heart problems. He was admitted to a hospital Thursday, but his health reportedly worsened over the past few days.
Arnold Palmer is considered among the most important players in the history of golf. He won seven major championships and 62 other Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Tour events.
Before Palmer’s long career, golf was considered a sport mainly for rich people. Many Americans liked his aggressive style of play, and the way he seemed at ease with both presidents and the golfing public.
Palmer became a sports star at about the same time television moved into most American homes. His good looks, devilish smile and go-for-broke thinking helped make golf appealing to one and all.
Other players remembered Palmer on Sunday. Tiger Woods said Palmer added excitement to the game.
"Thanks, Arnold, for your friendship… and a lot of laughs," Tiger Woods said through social media. "Its hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King."
Arnold Palmer never like being called "The King" of golf, but the name stuck.
Palmer was a leader in sports marketing. He became one of the first athletes to earn millions of dollars by appearing in advertisements. Some 40 years after his last PGA Tour win, he still rates among the highest earners in golf. It is estimated Palmer was worth close to $675 million.
As a spokesperson for products, Palmers image was everywhere. He made ads for motor oil, ketchup and financial services companies. Even as late as 2011, Palmer was No. 3 on Golf Digests list of top earners at $36 million a year. Only Woods and Phil Mickelson earned more money.
As a golfer, Palmer became famous for winning and losing golf tournaments. Palmer came back from seven shots behind to win a U.S. Open Championship. And he once lost a seven-shot lead during the final nine holes to lose a U.S. Open.
Palmer was never dull. He would smoke cigarettes while playing as he attacked golffairways, greens and holes. With powerful hands holding the golf club, Palmer would hit the ball with all his strength. Then he would twist his muscular neck as his eyes followed where his shot traveled.
Doctors told Palmer that he had prostate cancer in 1997. But the disease was found and treated early. He returned to golf a few months later.
Palmer designed some golf courses. And he was a success off the course. His name was used for a line of clothing and a drink combining iced tea and lemonade.
Palmers other love was flying. He piloted his first aircraft in 1956.
Palmer flew airplanes the way he played golf. He set a record in 1976 when he went around the earth in 57 hours, 25 minutes and 42 seconds in a Lear 36 plane. He continued flying until he failed to renew his flying license at age 81. He was just short of 20,000 hours of flying as a pilot.
Through it all, he came into contact with more people than he could possibly remember. "Im not interested in being a hero," Palmer said, suggesting that too much was made about his return from cancer. "I just want to play some golf."

【听力材料】
Did you know that theres a kind of bird that can sew? This bird, called the "Tailor Bird", uses its mouth as a needle. [29]It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most common materials used for nests are grasses, branches, and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold it together! Another bird is called the "Weaver Bird". The "Weaver Bird" builds a nest that looks like a basket. The nest does shape like a pear with a hole in the middle. [30]The hole is the door of the nest. A third bird is called the "Oven Bird". The "Oven Bird" makes a nest that is very solid. [31]The nest is made of mud. The "Oven Bird" forms the mud into the shape of an oven, and then lets it dry in the sun. The sun bakes the mud, making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes in branches. [32]Some birds build their nests on the ground while others bury their eggs under the ground, and some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in the branches of trees and bushes, [32]remember that some nests may be right under your feet.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What does the nest built by a Tailor Bird look like?
正确答案:B
解析:文章主要提到3种鸟,需要一一记录相关信息,题目顺序一般与信息出现的顺序一致。最先听到的是tailor bird,而题目询问缝叶莺的巢看上去是什么样子。关键是要听到“它(缝叶莺)把树叶缝在一起,呈杯状。”故选B。A是织巢鸟的窝的样子,C是无关选项,D是灶巢鸟的窝的样子。
30. Why is there a hole in the Weaver Birds nest?
正确答案:B

31. What is the Oven Birds nest made of?
正确答案:C
解析:第3种鸟是oven bird,而题目询问灶巢鸟的窝是用什么做的。关键是要听到“这个窝是用泥巴做的。”故C正确。此外,原文提到Oven Bird时,三次提及了mud这个单词,应该不难得出答案C。符合短文听力“听到什么选什么”的解题原则。
32. What might surprise us about birds nests according to the speaker?
正确答案:A
解析:题目询问根据作者所说,鸟巢可能让我们感到惊讶的是什么。关键是要听到最后一句“……记住,有些鸟巢也许就在你的脚下”。故选A。符合“同义替换”的原则。短文结尾处常设考点。
