Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school.
When I joined the team freshman year, I didn't realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all the summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get into physical and mental shape before the season.
See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn't only about getting into shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature(幼稚的) and only thought of myself, and sometimes even gave up when I was tired or hurt. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all the summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery(外科手术) on my arm and at least five months to recover.
Needless to say, I missed the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life.
After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments (任务) are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men who I know will succeed in life.

三、
答案:1-3.CAD
解析:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了足球对作者来说不仅仅是运动,作者更是从中学到了宝贵的东西。
1.主旨大意题。综合全文可知,作者认为足球不仅仅是一项运动,他从足球那儿学到的东西比上学学到的更有价值。踢足球时要竭尽全力,人生也要这样。通过踢足球,他学会了要先想到别人,团结朋友。由此可知,本文主要讲述了作者对足球的态度转变。
2.词义猜测题。从画线短语所在句子及第二段中的"to get into physical and mental shape"可知,足球与其他运动相比更像是一项脑力运动,所以说在跑道上奔跑不仅仅是健身。由此推断get into shape意为“强身健体”。lose weight减肥;design the playground设计操场;measure the track测量跑道。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段的"Imagine working all the summer and then only being able to play three games(想象一下,努力了整个夏天,然后却只能比赛三场)"可知,作者为了比赛而准备了一个夏天,故选D。A项(作者加入足球队时目标很明确)与第二段的"When I joined the team freshman year, I didn't realize what I was getting into."相悖;B项(足球只给作者带来一些任务)过于片面;C项(作者遇到困难时从不灰心)讲得太绝对。
四、
答案:ACGBD
解析:①根据上文On the subway every time someone coughs, I look up to see if I can move a little further. As I get off the train, I immediately wash my hands to remove the dirt on them.可知,在地铁上,每次有人咳嗽时,“我”都会抬头看看自己是否能走远一点。当下了地铁,“我”立即洗手以清除手上的污垢。据此可以推断,这里讲的是在流感季节作者是如何保护自己的。选项A意思是“流感季节到了,我很重视”,与上文在逻辑上自然衔接。故选A。
②根据下文Depending on the year, between 3,000 and 49,000 people die.可知,根据年份不同,死亡人数在3,000至49,000之间。据此可以推断,这里讲的是流感的危害。选项C意思是“每年有超过20万人因为这种疾病而住院”,与下文在逻辑上自然衔接。故选C。

④根据下文It isn't clear how long the protection lasts and if the vaccine protects against different kinds of flu for only one year.可知,目前尚不清楚疫苗的保护作用能持续多久,以及这种疫苗是否仅能在一年内抵御不同的流感病毒。据此可以推断,空格这一句说的是流感疫苗的接种时效。选项B意思是“如果你去年注射了流感疫苗,今年还需要吗 ”,符合语境。故选B。
