Ⅰ.阅读理解 A John，a very thin boy，loved football with all his heart when he was very young.Practice after practice，he eagerly gave everything he had.But being half the size of the other boys，he could only sit on the bench and hardly ever played in games.Even though the son was always on the bench，his father was always standing with cheers and encouraging him. When John went to college，he decided to try out for the football team as a“walk­on”．Everyone was sure he could never make the cut，but he did.The coach thought he could provide the other members with the spirit they needed. The news that he had been selected for the team excited him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father.His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. It was the end of this last football season.One day John received a telegram and asked one week off.Nobody knew what happened except the coach.The coach said，“Don't plan to come back to the game on Saturday.” Saturday arrived，and the game was not going well.When the team was ten points behind，John came back.“Coach，please let me play.I've just got to play today，”said John.The coach pretended not to hear him.But John persisted.Finally feeling sorry for the kid，the coach gave in. Before long everyone could not believe their eyes.John was doing everything to fight.The opposing team could not stop him.He ran，he passed and blocked like a star.And at last his team won the game. After the game，John looked at the coach，with tears in his eyes，and said，“Well，you knew my dad died，but did you know that my dad was blind？”John swallowed hard and forced a smile，“Dad came to all my games，but today was the first time he could see me play，and I wanted to show him that I could do it.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了约翰尽管受到身体条件的限制，但仍然热爱着足球，且在父亲的鼓励下，约翰积极努力争取成为一名候补球员。某次比赛前他收到了家里的电报，父亲去世了。但在比赛当天约翰返回了球场，他力挽狂澜，引领球队获得了胜利，同时向去世的父亲证明了自己。 1．Why did John hardly have any chance to play in games? A．He had no time to practice. B．He was too young to play games. C．Everyone looked down upon him. D．His body condition was not good. 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第一段中的“But being half the size of the other boys...played in games”可知，由于他的个头几乎只有其他男孩的一半，只能成为候补球员，很少参加比赛。所以约翰几乎没有机会参加比赛的原因是他的身体条件不好。 2．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase“make the cut”in the second paragraph? A．Make progress. B．Be allowed to join the team. C．Cut himself. D．Be refused by the coach. 解析：选B　词义猜测题。由第二段中的“When John went to college，he decided to try out for the football team as a‘walk­on’”可知，当约翰上大学时，他决定参加足球队的选拔赛，成为一名候补球员。所以判断出第二段中带下划线的短语“make the cut”可替换为“be allowed to join the team”。 3．What can we know from the text? A．John felt very depressed as a“walk­on”． B．John's father always taught him how to play. C．John's father went to most of his college games. D．The coach was sure John would be the best player one day. 解析：选C　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Dad came to all my games...could do it”可知，约翰的爸爸看了他大部分的大学足球比赛。 4．What does this story tell us? A．A burden of one's choice is not felt. B．Better to do well than to say well. C．All roads lead to Rome. D．Where there is a will，there is a way. 解析：选D　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，约翰尽管受到身体条件的限制，但仍然热爱着足球，且在父亲的鼓励下，积极努力争取成为一名候补球员。某次比赛前他收到了家里的电报，父亲去世了。但在比赛当天约翰返回了球场，他力挽狂澜，引领球队获得了胜利，同时向去世的父亲证明了自己。所以这个故事告诉我们“有志者，事竟成”的道理。 B Find your favorite.While many athletes are good at several sports，there will usually be one they are best at.Which sport are you most drawn to？Your favorite will make your work seem like play as you become a professional athlete.
