话题:成立棒球联盟的故事
I know next to nothing about baseball. When in the right field during P. E. as a boy, I prayed the ball wouldn't come to me. It took a miracle (奇迹) for me to catch it. Yet I later became the father of two boys, Will and Tim (8 and 5), who were both interested in baseball. On Saturday mornings, I'd take Will out to the playground and play catch with him. Thanks to my weak arm, the ball dropped before he could catch it. After many misses one day, he said, “How am I ever going to make the major leagues?” “You got the wrong dad, kid,” I thought. Baseball isn't my thing.
Still, I wanted to give my kids confidence on the field. There was an official Little League in our area, but it was supercompetitive and primarily targeted older boys. What if we had something more lowkey, something that welcomed boys and girls, and younger ones?
I shared the idea with some neighbors. “That would be great!”they said. Now who could organize such a thing? Not me. I tried to put the idea aside, but it wouldn't leave me. I finally decided that I must do something about it. So I called the city's recreation department, explaining that some families wanted to start a baseball league in our neighborhood. Were there any fields for that? They bounced me around. Finally, I spoke to the official in charge. I got butterflies in my stomach. What if he said no? “Yes, we have something for you,” the man said, hearing my request. We got two fields for four hours every Sunday morning. Our league was founded. What a joy it was to sit on the benches, watching Will and Tim playing baseball! How grateful I was for other parents who did the coaching! And I became the most unlikely baseball commissioner (专员) ever.
Many years have passed. Now Will and Tim are new dads, and I can't wait to see what they'll have to do. I know better than anyone: Parenthood calls you to do the most unlikely things.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对棒球一窍不通,却想办法为孩子们成立了一个棒球联盟的故事。
4.Why did the author think his son Will got the wrong father?
A.He lacked confidence.
B.He had poor baseball skills.
C.He had little energy or time.
D.He didn't know Will's dream.
解析:B [细节理解题。根据第一段“Thanks to my weak arm, the ball dropped before he could catch it. After many misses one day, he said, ‘How am I ever going to make the major leagues?’‘You got the wrong dad, kid,’ I thought. Baseball isn't my thing.(由于我的手臂无力,球在他接住之前就掉了下来。一天错过多次后,他说:‘我怎么才能进入大联盟呢?’‘孩子,你找错爸爸了,’我想。棒球不是我的菜。)”可知,作者的棒球技术很差,所以作者认为儿子询问作者如何进入大联盟找错爸爸了。]
5.What special feature did the author expect the baseball league had?
A.Being easy to join.
B.Having its own fields.
C.Focusing on training kids.
D.Having professional coaches.
解析:A [细节理解题。根据第二段“There was an official Little League in our area, but it was supercompetitive and primarily targeted older boys. What if we had something more lowkey, something that welcomed boys and girls, and younger ones?(我们地区有一个官方的小联盟,但它的竞争非常激烈,主要针对年龄较大的男孩。如果我们有一些更低调的东西,一些欢迎男孩和女孩,以及更年轻的孩子的东西会怎样呢?)”可知,作者希望这个棒球联盟能够更容易加入。]
6.How did the author probably feel while talking to the official?
A.Confident. B.Peaceful.
C.Nervous. D.Hesitant.
解析:C [推理判断题。根据第三段“I got butterflies in my stomach. What if he said no?(我的心里七上八下。如果他拒绝了怎么办?)”可知,作者在与官员交谈时可能会感到紧张。]
7.What does the author want to stress in the text?
A.The need to challenge oneself.
B.The greatness of parental love.
C.The responsibility of parenthood.
D.The role of sports in kids' growth.
解析:C [推理判断题。根据最后一段“I know better than anyone: Parenthood calls you to do the most unlikely things.(我比任何人都清楚:为人父母会让你去做最不可能的事情。)”可知,作者想要在文中强调为人父母的责任。]
