试题答案
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) Captain of the team意为“足球队队长”。 (2) 此处指playing football. 综观全文，作者刚开始时在球队没有任何压力(pressure)，以玩(playing)为主，队员们都从中找到快乐(fun)。 (3) equal意为“平等的”“一样多的”，从下文可以得到答案。 (4) 球队取得好成绩后，压力随之而来。 (5) 父母付给教练额外的(extra)的钱是为了能给他们孩子个别的一对一的训练(one-on-one training)。 (6) 在比赛中。 (7) 根据下文可以作出判断。此处从语法上讲属于动词不定式充当表语(省略了不定式符号to)。 (8) 根据上文，球队训练就是让队员跑，作者对此感到很厌烦，所以希望训练的时候天会下雨。 (9) 结合常识，跑对于足球队员来说是必要的。 (10) 本句的含义是：跑得这样多以至于孩子们呼吸感到困难。 (11) be intended/meant/designed/aimed for…的含义是“为了……”“为……而准备”。此处为过去分词充当定语，修饰exercises。 (12) 在踢足球之前我非常瘦。 (13) 显然是担心吃的太多而跑不动。 (14) Make/take one's share意为“承受某人的那一份（压力）”。此处作者认为这种训练已经让她这种年龄的孩子难以承受。 (15) end up doing sth.意为“以……而结束”，结合上下文，作者由于难以承受而最终离开球队。 (16) 结合上下文，具备如此的潜力而最后选择彻底放弃，这样做令人感到伤心。 (17) feel pressure from…意为“感觉到来自……的压力”。 (18) 在学校踢球，作者又重新找到了其中的快乐。 (19) 空格后him指的是教练，这样答案就很明显了。 (20) 根据上文relax（放松）即可作出判断。calm down的含义为“定下心”“放松”。 |
