Question

Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon（马拉松）record. They wanted to play for 90 hours ,breaking the record by adding 6 hours . Each team had 9 players, with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once. On the second night,they fell asleep as soon as they stopped.Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the only serious problem was a psychological（心理学的）one. Each boy was thinking: Why am I doing this? How can I play any longer? After the third night, the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The basketball on the fourth nigth was very slow. But in the final hours, the players got better. For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!

试题分析：
1.A 计算题。根据第一段第二行They wanted to play for 90 hours ,breaking the record by adding 6 hours .说明他们想创造的记录是90小时，比以前多了6小时，那么以前的就是84小时。故A正确。
2.A 细节题。根据第二段第二句When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once.说明他们第一天晚上太兴奋了，故A正确。
3.C 推理题。根据本句, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!说明fresh是指与他们在第一天刚刚开始的时候差不多的感觉，而在第一天他们很兴奋，故该词也应该指兴奋。故C正确。
4.A 细节题。根据文章第二段第二句When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once.说明B正确。第一段最后一句Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.说明A正确。文章最后一段最后两行For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!说明D正确。只有A项文章没有涉及，文章只是说他们在第二谈根据和疲惫，没有说受伤，故A错误。
