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 (潜力), 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．解题思路：整篇文章讲的是有夫足球运动的一些事情，而上下文中又出现了如football league，coach，captain等词语，作者成为球队队长，故答案为C． 　　2．解题思路：由四个选项来看；B、C、D三个选项不合文意，只有playing可指踢足球运动，该空是指作者踢足球的经历，故选A． 　　3．解题思路：该段讲到“有些家长额外付钱想让自己的孩子多得到教练的指导，而教练因为没给那些孩子额外指导才被替换，所以起初那段快乐的时光是大家得到均等的训练机会”．故答案为B． 　　4．解题思路：下文第四、五段提到“压力使人出错，压力有必要吗？”而business，struggle，attempt三词与下文不吻合，故选D． 　　5．解题思路：由文中的paid the coach extra…和…got angry可见，父母都是为了个人的利益，故选B． 　　6．解题思路：教练之所以被替换，是因为在比赛中没有给那些额外付钱的孩子们更多的上场时间，其余三词词义均不合文意，故选A． 　　7．解题思路：由下文…run drills可以得知，教练被替换以后，主要训练形式是跑步． 　　8．解题思路：根据文意“作者希望赶快下雨，以阻止这种厌烦的训练”，training符合文意，故选D． 　　9．解题思路：注意理解上文文意“当然所有队员都需要跑步的训练”和下文的连词but(表示转折关系)，才说“我们的训练太多了”，所以答案为A． 　　10．解题思路：由文意“跑步太多了，结果必然是造成呼吸困难”，再看选项，可以知道答案应为D． 　　11．解题思路：该空考查词组用法，根据文意，词组 be intended for意为“为……设计”，故选B． 　　12．解题思路：该空考查连词的用法．由上下文可知，“作者在踢足球之前很瘦，但是作为球队的一员却不能吃得太多”，再从四个连词来判断，选before最为合适，故答案为C． 　　13．解题思路：由上文“…wouldn't eat much”与该句“担心吃得太多而无法跑步”可知，再看选项词义：full(满的，饱的)；tired(累的)； lazy(懒惰的)；big(大的)．因此答案为 A． 　　14．解题思路：根据文意“额外的压力使比平时出更多的错误”，再看选项词意size(大小、尺寸)；share(份额)；space(空间)；state(状态)．可知答案应为B． 　　15．解题思路：考查词义辨析．根据文意，ended up doing sth. 意为“以……结束”，符合文意，而 give up(放弃)；keep up(保持)；pick up(拾起)．均不合文意，故答案为 C． 　　16．解题思路：上下文意“另外4个队员离队”，“因为他们很有潜力”，离队是非常难过的事情，故案为A． 　　17．解题思路：“压力”是抽象的，所以应该是感受到的，而非其他 receive，suffer，bring三词所能表达的，故选D． 　　18．解题思路：考查词义辨析，根据上文“继续踢球”可见作者重新发现了对足球的喜爱，reconsider(重新考虑)，reform(再组成)，replace(取代、代替)均不合文意，故选B． 　　19．解题思路：考查介词for的用法，表示“为了……”．文意是指为教练踢球，故选C． 　　20．解题思路：calm down意为“平静下来，放松下来”，文意是指“作者放松下来，球踢得更好”，故选答案D．
