UNIT 4 课时跟踪检测（一） 阅读理解专项练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A For recreation league athletes, there's nothing worse than when one of your teammates drops out at the last minute. When a recreation league ice hockey (冰上曲棍球) team in Edmonton needed a goalie (守门员), they got a save from an unlikely hero. Nelson Rego, who is 100% blind, plays blind ice hockey for the Edmonton “SeeHawks” and accidentally met another goalie, John Hunter, who was inquiring online about a chest protector. Later Hunter got injured, and trying to help his team find a goalie for a league game, he reached out on the Edmonton Goalies Facebook page. “Nelson calls me, and he starts out with，‘Hey, how's the chest protector going？’” Hunter later shared about the remarkable story. “Then Nelson continues, ‘By the way, I'm not sure if this is a good idea but I've learned that you're looking for a goalie substitute for your-league game tonight. What do you think about me playing？’” The team was “all in”， so Rego got ready for his first-ever sighted league match. According to the players, they didn't tell the referee until the puck (冰球) drop that their goalie was blind-information with which he didn't really know what to do. In an interview with CTV Edmonton, Rego explains he keeps himself centered in the goal by measuring the distance between the posts with his stick and his glove. After he uses sound to key into where the puck is and if it's being challenged, all the while he follows verbal instructions from his loving wife Emelinda, in the stands telling the action. The game was by no means a washout for Rego, because even though Rego's team lost, he hung in there and earned the respect and admiration of the team. This remarkable night is just one step in Rego's hockey career and he wants to go further. Rego says, “If it's something you want to do, just do it. It's amazing to watch hockey, but it's even better to play it.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位盲人冰上曲棍球守门员争取到机会与有正常视力的队友一起进行了一场比赛的故事。 1．Why did Nelson Rego make a call to John Hunt
