Don't Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports

　　When I joined a private football league a few years ago, the sport meant everything to me. My coach said that I had lots of potential (潛力), and I became captain of my 1 . That was before all the fun was taken out of 2 .

　　At first, everyone on the team got 3 playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the 4 started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra so their daughters could have 5 one-on-one training, got angry when she didn't give them more playing time in our 6 . The coach was replaced.

　　The new coach, however, took all the fun out of the game: All we did during practice was 7 . I always wished to God that it would rain so we would not have the 8 . Of course, all teams run drills; they are 9 . But we ran so much that, afterwards, we had trouble 10 . Younger people shouldn't be doing exercises 11 for 18-year-old.

　　I was very thin 12 I started football, but as a member of this team I wouldn't eat much, because I was afraid of being too 13 to run. I feared making mistakes, and the added pressure caused me to make more than my usual 14 .

　　Is all this pressure necessary? I 15 up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of them stopped playing football completely. That's 16 , because they /had so much potential. They were just burned-out with all the pressure they 17 from the coach or their parents.

　　I continued playing football at school and 18 my love for it. I joined a private team coached by my school coach. When I started playing 19 him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I 20 down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it's a lot easier to do it well.

Answer 1

答案：C;A;B;D;B;A;C;D;A;D;B;C;A;B;C;A;D;B;C;D
解析：

1．解題思路：整篇文章講的是有夫足球運動的一些事情，而上下文中又出現(xiàn)了如football league，coach，captain等詞語，作者成為球隊隊長，故答案為C． 　　2．解題思路：由四個選項來看；B、C、D三個選項不合文意，只有playing可指踢足球運動，該空是指作者踢足球的經(jīng)歷，故選A． 　　3．解題思路：該段講到“有些家長額外付錢想讓自己的孩子多得到教練的指導(dǎo)，而教練因為沒給那些孩子額外指導(dǎo)才被替換，所以起初那段快樂的時光是大家得到均等的訓(xùn)練機會”．故答案為B． 　　4．解題思路：下文第四、五段提到“壓力使人出錯，壓力有必要嗎？”而business，struggle，attempt三詞與下文不吻合，故選D． 　　5．解題思路：由文中的paid the coach extra…和…got angry可見，父母都是為了個人的利益，故選B． 　　6．解題思路：教練之所以被替換，是因為在比賽中沒有給那些額外付錢的孩子們更多的上場時間，其余三詞詞義均不合文意，故選A． 　　7．解題思路：由下文…run drills可以得知，教練被替換以后，主要訓(xùn)練形式是跑步． 　　8．解題思路：根據(jù)文意“作者希望趕快下雨，以阻止這種厭煩的訓(xùn)練”，training符合文意，故選D． 　　9．解題思路：注意理解上文文意“當(dāng)然所有隊員都需要跑步的訓(xùn)練”和下文的連詞but(表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系)，才說“我們的訓(xùn)練太多了”，所以答案為A． 　　10．解題思路：由文意“跑步太多了，結(jié)果必然是造成呼吸困難”，再看選項，可以知道答案應(yīng)為D． 　　11．解題思路：該空考查詞組用法，根據(jù)文意，詞組 be intended for意為“為……設(shè)計”，故選B． 　　12．解題思路：該空考查連詞的用法．由上下文可知，“作者在踢足球之前很瘦，但是作為球隊的一員卻不能吃得太多”，再從四個連詞來判斷，選before最為合適，故答案為C． 　　13．解題思路：由上文“…wouldn't eat much”與該句“擔(dān)心吃得太多而無法跑步”可知，再看選項詞義：full(滿的，飽的)；tired(累的)； lazy(懶惰的)；big(大的)．因此答案為 A． 　　14．解題思路：根據(jù)文意“額外的壓力使比平時出更多的錯誤”，再看選項詞意size(大小、尺寸)；share(份額)；space(空間)；state(狀態(tài))．可知答案應(yīng)為B． 　　15．解題思路：考查詞義辨析．根據(jù)文意，ended up doing sth. 意為“以……結(jié)束”，符合文意，而 give up(放棄)；keep up(保持)；pick up(拾起)．均不合文意，故答案為 C． 　　16．解題思路：上下文意“另外4個隊員離隊”，“因為他們很有潛力”，離隊是非常難過的事情，故案為A． 　　17．解題思路：“壓力”是抽象的，所以應(yīng)該是感受到的，而非其他 receive，suffer，bring三詞所能表達的，故選D． 　　18．解題思路：考查詞義辨析，根據(jù)上文“繼續(xù)踢球”可見作者重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了對足球的喜愛，reconsider(重新考慮)，reform(再組成)，replace(取代、代替)均不合文意，故選B． 　　19．解題思路：考查介詞for的用法，表示“為了……”．文意是指為教練踢球，故選C． 　　20．解題思路：calm down意為“平靜下來，放松下來”，文意是指“作者放松下來，球踢得更好”，故選答案D．
