21、助球队力挽狂澜，获得了胜利，同时向去世的父亲证明自己能行。1答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第一段中的Butbeinghalfthesizeoftheotherboys, hecouldonlysitonthebenchandhardlyeverplayedingames.可知，由于他的体形几乎是其他男孩的一半大小，所以他只能成为板凳球员，很少参加比赛，所以约翰几乎没有机会参加比赛的原因是他的身体条件不好。故D选项正确。2答案与解析：B词义猜测题。由第二段中的“WhenJohnwenttocollege, hedecidedtotryoutforthefootballteamasawalkon”可
22、知，当约翰上大学时，他决定参加足球队的选拔赛，成为一名临时球员。所以判断出第二段中带下划线的短语“makethecut”可替换为beallowedtojointheteam。故B选项正确。3答案与解析：C推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Well, youknewmydaddied, butdidyouknowthatmydadwasblind？”.“Dadcametoallmygames, buttodaywasthefirsttimehecouldseemeplay.”可知，约翰的父亲去世了，他的父亲是个盲人，生前参加了他所有的比赛，今天是他第一次“看到”约翰上场踢足球赛，他想让父亲知道他能行。
23、故C选项正确。4答案与解析：D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了尽管约翰受到身体条件的限制，只是一名板凳球员，但是父亲一直在鼓励着他，上大学之后，他努力争取成了一名临时球员。足球赛季末，家里的电报告诉他父亲去世了。但是比赛当天约翰求教练能给予他上场的机会，教练最终同意了。他帮助球队力挽狂澜，获得了胜利，同时向死去的父亲证明自己能行，所以这个故事告诉我们“有志者，事竟成”的道理，同时也是短文的主旨大意。故D选项正确。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在2009年时实现了她少女时代的梦想跳伞，并讲述了当时的经历。5答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句Igotatasteof
24、thatdreamin2001, whenmyhusbandarrangedformetorideinahotairballoonformybirthday.可知2001年在“我”生日那天坐上了丈夫为“我”安排的热气球，所以C项正确。6答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据第二段开头Intheessay, Iwroteaboutmydesiretoskydive, statingthatGeorgeBushSr.diditatage80.可知，在竞赛短文中，“我”写到了自己想跳伞的渴望，提及了老乔治布什曾在80岁时这样做过，把自己和他进行对比，来说明自己身体健康，跳伞的想法是可行的，所以D项正确。7答
25、案与解析：D推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“Whenwefirsthittheair, thewindwassostrongthatIcouldhardlybreathe.ForasecondIthought，WhathaveIgottenmyselfinto？”Buttheneverythinggotcalmer.可推知，作者跳出飞机那一刹那是后悔的，她很期待这次经历，但是如此强烈的风让她无法呼吸，她后悔将自己陷入如此危险的境地。所以D项正确。8答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句Beingupinthecloudsandlookingattheviewbelowwasunlike
26、anythingIhaveeverfeltmuchbetterthanthehotairballoon.Iwasjustenjoyingit.可知作者在空中跳伞时最欣赏的是美景。所以B项正确。.完形填空【语篇解读】作者记叙了自己一家三口参加赛跑的经历，虽然遇到了一些困难，但是也得到了回报。作者想通过这样的经历告诉读者，生活中总要面对一些痛苦与挣扎，关键是把它们转换成积极的事情，把挫折当成是对自己的考验，让自己变得更加强大。1答案与解析：D考查副词词义辨析。easily简单地；suddenly突然地；calmly镇静地；quickly快地，迅速地。根据下文butmywifeandIstayedb
