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
“walk?on”.
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
survived
the
selection
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
the
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,
and
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
opponent
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.”
1．Why
did
John
hardly
have
any
chance
to
play
in
games?
A．Because
he
had
no
time
to
practice.
B．Because
he
was
too
young
to
play
games.
C．Because
everyone
looked
down
upon
him.
D．Because
his
body
condition
was
not

“I
Went
Skydiving
at
84！”
As
a
young
girl
growing
up
in
the
1930s,
I
always
wanted
to
fly
a
plane,
but
back
then
it
was
almost
unheard
of
a
woman
to
do
that.
I
got
a
taste
of
that
dream
in
2001,
when
my
husband
arranged
for
me
to
ride
in
a
hot
air
balloon
for
my
birthday.
But
the
experience
turned
out
to
be
very
dull.
Around
that
time,
I
told
my
husband
that
I
wanted
to
skydive.
So
when
our
retirement
community
announced
that
they
were
having
an
essay
competition
and
the
topic
was
an
experience
of
a
lifetime
that
you
wanted
to
have,
I
decided
to
write
about
my
dream.
In
the
essay,
I
wrote
about
my
desire
to
skydive,
stating
that
George
Bush
Sr.
did
it
at
age
80.
Why
not
me?
I
was
just
84
and
in
pretty
good
health.
A
year
went
by
and
I
heard
nothing.
But
then
at
a
community
party
in
late
April
2009,
they
announced
that
I
was
one
of
the
winners.
I
just
couldn't
believe
it.
Inspired
by
this,
I
decided
to
realize
my
dream,
even
though
some
of
my
family
members
and
my
doctor
were
against
it.
On
June
11,
2009,
nearly
40
of
my
family
and
friends
gathered
in
the
area
close
to
where
I
would
land
while
I
headed
up
in
the
airplane.
My
instructor,
Jay,
guided
me
through
the
experience.
The
plane
was
the
noisiest
one
I
had
ever
been
in,
but
I
wasn't
frightened—I
was
really
just
looking
forward
to
the
experience.
When
we
reached
13,000
feet,
Jay
instructed
me
to
throw
myself
out
of
the
plane.
When
we
first
hit
the
air,
the
wind
was
so
strong
that
I
could
hardly
breathe.
For
a
second
I
thought,
“What
have
I
gotten
myself
into？”
But
then
everything
got
calmer.
We
were
in
a
free
fall
for
about
a
minute
before
Jay
opened
the
parachute
(降落伞),
and
then
we
just
floated
downward
for
about
five
minutes.
Being
up
in
the
clouds
and
looking
at
the
view
below
was
unlike
anything
I
have
ever
felt—much
better
than
the
hot
air
balloon.
I
was
just
enjoying
it.
Skydiving
was
really
one
of
the
greatest
experiences
of
my
life.
I
hope
other
people
will
look
at
me
and
realize
that
you
don't
stop
living
just
because
you
are
84
years
old.
If
there's
something
you
want
to
experience,
look
into
it.
If
it's
something
that
is
possible,
make
it
happen.

One

After

while
running

I
walked
on
a

and
had
a

I

I'd
got

but
I
didn't
check

Instead,
we
kept
running.
__5__，
after
going
half
the
course,
I
realized
my
watch
on
my
wrist
was
__6__.
I
encouraged
my
wife
to
go
on
ahead,
and
returned
to
see
if
I
could
find

Later,
I
__7__
my
broken
watch
and
quickly
put
it
into
my
pocket.
Then
I
__8__
down
the
trail.
In

I
saw
my

30

had
run
back
up
the
trail
to
__9__
me.
He
ran

__10__
it
turned
out,
both
my

had
won
first

in
their
age
groups,

I
had
no

placing.
After
the
race,
I
took
off

Luckily,
the

Although

the
__12__

However,
the

In

详解答案
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要叙述了尽管约翰只是一名板凳球员，但父亲一直在鼓励着他。上大学之后，约翰积极努力争取成了一名临时球员，这让每个人都很吃惊。足球赛季末，他收到了家里的电报，父亲去世了。但是比赛当天约翰返回了球场，最终他帮助球队力挽狂澜，获得了胜利，同时向去世的父亲证明自己能行。
1．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由第一段中的But
being
half
the
size
of
the
other
boys,
he
could
only
sit
on
the
bench
and
hardly
ever
played
in
games.可知，由于他的体形几乎是其他男孩的一半大小，所以他只能成为板凳球员，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。故D选项正确。
2．答案与解析：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‘walk?on’”．可知，当约翰上大学时，他决定参加足球队的选拔赛，成为一名临时球员。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。故B选项正确。
3．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Well,
you
knew
my
dad
died,
but
did
you
know
that
my
dad
was
blind？”．..“Dad
came
to
all
my
games,
but
today
was
the
first
time
he
could
see
me
play...”可知，约翰的父亲去世了，他的父亲是个盲人，生前参加了他所有的比赛，今天是他第一次“看到”约翰上场踢足球赛，他想让父亲知道他能行。故C选项正确。
4．答案与解析：D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了尽管约翰受到身体条件的限制，只是一名板凳球员，但是父亲一直在鼓励着他，上大学之后，他努力争取成了一名临时球员。足球赛季末，家里的电报告诉他父亲去世了。但是比赛当天约翰求教练能给予他上场的机会，教练最终同意了。他帮助球队力挽狂澜，获得了胜利，同时向死去的父亲证明自己能行，所以这个故事告诉我们“有志者，事竟成”的道理，同时也是短文的主旨大意。故D选项正确。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在2009年时实现了她少女时代的梦想——跳伞，并讲述了当时的经历。
5．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句I
got
a
taste
of
that
dream
in
2001,
when
my
husband
arranged
for
me
to
ride
in
a
hot
air
balloon
for
my
birthday.可知2001年在“我”生日那天坐上了丈夫为“我”安排的热气球，所以C项正确。
6．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第二段开头In
the
essay,
I
wrote
about
my
desire
to
skydive,
stating
that
George
Bush
Sr.
did
it
at
age
80.可知，在竞赛短文中，“我”写到了自己想跳伞的渴望，提及了老乔治·布什曾在80岁时这样做过，把自己和他进行对比，来说明自己身体健康，跳伞的想法是可行的，所以D项正确。
7．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“When
we
first
hit
the
air,
the
wind
was
so
strong
that
I
could
hardly
breathe.
For
a
second
I
thought，‘What
have
I
gotten
myself
into？’”But
then
everything
got
calmer.可推知，作者跳出飞机那一刹那是后悔的，她很期待这次经历，但是如此强烈的风让她无法呼吸，她后悔将自己陷入如此危险的境地。所以D项正确。
8．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句Being
up
in
the
clouds
and
looking
at
the
view
below
was
unlike
anything
I
have
ever
felt—much
better
than
the
hot
air
balloon.
I
was
just
enjoying
it.可知作者在空中跳伞时最欣赏的是美景。所以B项正确。
