23、ad to work them out on their own.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿所在的足球队在和训练有素的对手比赛时前两场输了，但是这些女孩子把比赛的经验融合到了第二天的比赛中，终于得分了。作者由此得出了“经验是最好的老师”的结论。1A.publicBtraditionalCofficial DspecialB空格前的“School？A friend？A tutor？”所指的都是传统的(traditional)我们可以求教的地方。public公共的；official官方的；special特殊的。2A.passes BworksClies DendsC根据空格后面的so
24、mewhere else instead可知，该句意思是“但很可能你真正想要学习的却在(lies)其他某个地方”。pass经过；work工作；end结束。3A.trip BholidayCweekend DsquareC根据下文中的Saturday和between Saturday and Sunday这些信息可知，她们踢球的时候是周末(weekend)。trip旅游，holiday假日，square广场，均不能在文中找到与之相关的信息。4A.won BenteredCorganized DwatchedB根据空格后面的a tournament，which normally was only
25、for more skilled club teams可知，一般来说只有技术更好的俱乐部球队才能参加(entered)锦标赛。win赢；organize组织；watch观看。5A.painful BstrangeCcommon DpracticalA结合上下文可知，她们周末对抗的球队是一些受过更好训练的强队，因此这给她们带来的肯定是一些痛苦的(painful)经历。strange奇怪的，common普通的，practical实际的，均与语境不符。6A.fans BtutorsCclass DteamD由空格所在句中的games(比赛)及shot(射门)可知，此处是指她的球队(team)表现不佳
26、。fan迷，狂热爱好者；tutor导师；class班级。7A.imagined BhatedCavoided DmissedB根据下文的playing her best.still defeated可知，作者不愿意(hated)看到女儿尽力踢球但却仍然被打败的情景。hate doing sth.厌恶做某事。imagine想象，avoid避免，miss错过，均与语境不符。8A.if BorCbut DasC根据前面的playing her best和后面的defeated可知，女儿虽然尽力了，但还是被打败了。前后是一种转折关系，故选but。9A.girls BparentsCcoaches Dv
27、iewersA阅读文章可知这是一支女子足球队，因此这里指那些女孩子(girls)。parent父亲(或母亲)；coach教练；viewer观众。10A.slightly BhardlyCbasically DcompletelyD结合语境，尤其是上文中的.something clicked with the.可知，好像这些女孩子们突然领悟到了什么，这次露面时，她们完全(completely)不一样了。slightly稍微，hardly几乎不，basically基本地，均与语境不符。11A.seen BknownCheard DreadA结合语境They had begun to integra
28、te(融合)the kinds of play and teamwork they had_the day before.我们知道，作者女儿的这个队把昨天她们看到(seen)的融合到今天的比赛中来了，而不是know“知道”，hear“听到”或read“读”。12A.even BstillCseldom DagainA结合空格前的They played aggressively.可知她们富有攻击性地踢球，甚至(even)得分了。still仍然，seldom很少，again又，再，均与语境不符。13A.confused BstruckCreminded DwarnedBIt strikes/str
29、uck sb.that.“某人突然想起”，是固定句式，it是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句。这里的strike可以换成hit或occur to。confuse使困惑，remind提醒，warn警告，均与语境不符。14A.touching BthinkingCencouraging DlearningD根据文章首句Where do you go when you want to learn something？可知本文谈论的主要是学习，作者认为和训练有素的对手进行比赛是这些女孩子们学习(learning)的良机，以此紧扣文章主题。touching感人的，thinking有思考力的，encouraging鼓舞人心的，均与语境不符。15A.harmful to Bmixed withCdifferent from Dapplied toC句意为“她们学到的经验可能与将在学校得到的并无区别(different from)，但一定更加个性化，更有意义，因为她们必须靠自己来弄清楚”。be harmful to对有害；be mixed with与混合；be applied to应用于。
