An Unexpected Victory

When I was 14, I joined the school basketball team. I was not the tallest or the fastest player, but I loved the sport. Our team was considered weak and often lost games. But one game changed everything.

It was the final match of the season. We were playing against the strongest team in the league. In the first half, we were down by 20 points. Our coach told us, “Don’t give up. Play for each other, not for the score.”

In the second half, something clicked. We started passing the ball more and playing as a team. I made a three-pointer with five seconds left, and we won by one point. The crowd went wild. I still remember that moment — the feeling of joy and disbelief.

That game taught me that winning is not always about being the best. It is about teamwork, determination, and never giving up. I still think about that game whenever I face difficulties.

19. What was the writer’s team like at the beginning?
A. They were the strongest. B. They often lost games. C. They had a famous coach. D. They had the tallest players.

20. What did the coach say at halftime?
A. Play for the score. B. Give up and rest. C. Play for each other. D. Pass the ball more.

21. How did the writer feel at the end of the game?
A. Disappointed. B. Joyful and shocked. C. Angry. D. Uninterested.

22. What lesson did the writer learn from the game?
A. Winning is everything. B. Taller players always win. C. Teamwork and determination matter. D. Coaches are always right.

C

The Mental Side of Sports

When people think of sports, they often focus on physical strength and skill. But the mental side of sports is just as important. In fact, many athletes say that the mental game is what separates champions from the rest.

One key mental skill is focus. Athletes must be able to block out distractions and concentrate on the task at hand. A basketball player taking a free throw in front of thousands of fans needs to focus on the basket, not on the crowd.

Another important skill is resilience. Athletes face failure and disappointment all the time. The best athletes don’t let setbacks discourage them. They use failure as motivation to work harder. As the saying goes, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal — it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Finally, confidence is crucial. Athletes must believe in themselves and their abilities. Without confidence, even the most talented athletes can underperform. The mind can be an athlete’s greatest ally or its worst enemy.

23. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. Physical fitness for athletes. B. The mental side of sports. C. How to become a champion. D. Famous athletes’ stories.

24. What does the writer say about focus?
A. It is not important. B. It helps athletes block distractions. C. It only matters in team sports. D. It is natural for everyone.

25. What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. 力量 B. 韧性 C. 速度 D. 运气

26. What does the writer say about confidence?
A. It is not necessary. B. It is the most important physical skill. C. It is crucial for performance. D. It comes naturally to all athletes.
