A 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 一 段 中 “One day all that changed when missed the bus home and decided to shoot baskets on the school playground to kill time. ”可知，因 为作者错过了公共汽车，所以他用投篮来消磨时间。 45. A 词 义 猜 测 题 。 根 据 下 文 “and over the next few years the coach helped me both on and off the court”可知，接下来的几年里，无论是场内还是场外，教练给了“我”许多帮助。由此可推知作者加人了校篮球队，故画线短语意思为“加人篮球队” 4.C 主 旨 大 意 题 。 根 据 最 后 一 段 “I will never forget Mr. Colbath.

Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.〞上下文语意连贾。故选F项。 【54题详解】E 上交列举了一些成为优秀学生的方法，下文“You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.” 说 明 除 上 文 提 到 的 方 法 外 ， 还 有 其 它 办 法 ， E 项“There are other methods that might help you with your studying.”（承上启下，与上下文语意连 贯。故选上项。 六、阅读回答 55.
