The Day Lisa Lost
Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the many professional athletes of today who have developed a me-first attitude. I am talking about high school sports, where lessons of life are still being learned. Here, athletes still compete for the love of the game and their teammates. Lisa Kincaid is one of them.
I first met Lisa in the volleyball court. If anyone had a right to be cocky(自大的) or proud of herself, it was Lisa. Besides being one of the best volleyball players in the USA, she became a track and field legend. She participated in sixty-four national games without losing any event.
However, she felt uncomfortable talking about her achievements and would usually change the conversation to others' performances. She often lent her shoes to someone who'd forgotten her own, or sincerely sent best wishes to competitors from different teams.
Soon after, Lisa's impossible failure in one game impressed me a lot. Lisa's coach told her he needed her to run the mile. She had never done so, but agreed to do what was best for the team. Lisa easily outdistanced the competitors, but on the last lap she seemed to grow tired. Jane, Lisa's teammate, passed her. Lisa managed to stay just behind Jane and followed her across the finish line. Lisa lost an event for the first time in her track and field career.
Athletes in Lisa's track and field program needed to earn a set amount of points to gain a varsity letter(校队标志徽章). Lisa knew that Jane needed to finish first to earn a varsity letter for the first time. Without Lisa, Jane would make it. Lisa remembered all this as she lined up for the start of that race. It suddenly struck me why she wore a slight smile on her face after having "lost" for the first time ever. Jane finally received her first varsity letter. And Lisa On that day, the day she lost, she earned my respect and admiration.
11.Why did the author list Lisa's achievements
A.To prove Lisa was proud of herself.
B.To present Lisa performed well at sports.
C.To show that athletes have a right to be cocky.
D.To remind athletes to have all-round development.
12.From the passage, what can we learn about Lisa
A.She valued the importance of respect.
B.She intended to prove herself in the race.
C.She won every race she had ever entered.
D.She cared less about what she had achieved.
13.Why did Lisa wear a smile on her face after the race
A.Because she did a deal with Jane.
B.Because she lent her shoes to others.
C.Because she carried out her secret plan.
D.Because she already earned her varsity letter.
14.Which of the following word can best describe Lisa according to the passage
A.Selfless. B.Brave. C.Patient. D.IndeDendent.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:creativity
解析:考查名词。句意:下午小睡15分钟已被证明可以提高创造力。空处应填名词作improve的宾语,creativity“创造力”,不可数名词,故填creativity。
2.答案:panicked
解析:本题考查"get+过去分词"的用法。get是系动词,其后跟过去分词(而不是-ing形式) ,构成系表结构get+过去分词“,强调动作的结果,而不是动作正在进行,故答案为panicked.
3.答案:reliable
解析:根据句意:这些天我的记忆力不太可靠。本题中的系动词be后面,是形容词词性,做表语,rely是动词, 需要变为形容词。故答案为reliable.
4.答案:weren’t there
解析:陈述部分是there be句型时,附加疑问部分要用 there作主语。陈述部分是肯定形式,因此用 weren't there。
5.答案:do they
解析:因陈述部分含有little,故附加疑问部分应用肯定形式,且时态保持一致。此处have 为实义动词,表示"经历,遇到",故附加疑问部分应用 do they。
6.答案:didn’t they
解析:若陈述部分的主句是I think/I suppose/I believe/ I expect 等时,附加疑问部分要与从句的主语和谓语动词保持一致。从句是肯定形式,时态是一般过去时,所以附加疑问部分用 didn't they。
7.答案:cheated
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:她一离开市场就发现自己被骗了。本句考查"find +宾语+宾补"结构,cheat与 herself之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,因此用过去分词形式作宾补。
8.答案:about
解析:考查固定搭配。句意:面对挑战时,你应该对自己所做的事情持积极态度,并始终抱有乐观的希望。be positive about...为固定搭配,表示"对……持积极态度"。
9.答案:in
解析:考查介词。play a role in...意为"在……中起作用"。
10.答案:could he
解析:因陈述部分含有否定词hardly,故附加疑问部分用肯定形式,且时态与主句保持一致。
二、阅读理解
11.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第二至四句的内容“如果说有人有权利骄傲,那就是莉萨。除了是美国最好的排球运动员之一外,她还成了田径界的传奇人物。她参加了64届全国运动会,没有输掉任何一场比赛。”可知,作者提及莉萨的成就是为了展示她在运动方面表现出色。故选B。
12.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,她并不愿意谈论自己的成就,通常会把话题转到别人的表现上。由此可知,莉萨并不看重自己所取得的成就。故选D。
13.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第二至四句可知,莉萨知道,简需要赢得比赛来获得她的第一枚校队标志徽章;没有莉萨,简会成功的,而莉萨在排队等待比赛开始时记起了这一切,这就是莉萨“输掉”比赛后还面带微笑的原因。由此可推测,莉萨想让简获得校队标志徽章,所以故意输了比赛,这是她实施的秘密计划。故选C。
14.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,莉萨为了队友的利益故意输掉比赛,而且“输了”后还能开心地微笑,由此可知她是一个很无私的人。故选A。B.勇敢的;C.耐心的;D.独立的。
三、七选五
答案:15-19 BGAFD
解析:15. 由本文标题可知,本文主要指出新手跑步者会犯的错误。根据空后的" keep these things in mind to help you increase your chances of running success"可知,B 项"如果你刚刚开始"符合文意,是空后内容的条件,同时也符合主题。故选B。
16. 上文指出刚开始跑步的人要慢慢进入训练,不要跑太多太快,G项"专家建议每周增加跑步距离不超过10%"符合文意,指出要慢慢增加跑步距离。故选G。
17. 此处是本段小标题,即新手跑步者常犯的错误之一。根据下文可知,本段主要讲了新手跑步者不休息,A项"没有休息日"符合文意。故选A。
18. 根据本段标题可知,本段主要介绍了新手跑步者常犯的错误之一是没有佩戴合适的装备,下文中的" it's important that you wear proper equipment for your workouts"强调跑步时正确穿着很重要,空处也应与"佩戴合适的装备"有关,F项"虽然你可能确实不需要利用昂贵的装备来开始跑步"引起下文,符合文意。故选F。F项中的 equipment对应小标题中的 equipment。
19. 下文中的"If something hurts when you run, you need to stop and treat the pain"指出跑步时如果感到疼痛,应该停下来,这说明有时候跑步会让人感到疼痛,D项"跑步有时会令人感到不舒服"符合文意。故选D。
