Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little i

31、y school, I was walking by the school playground. Suddenly football fell just in front of me but almost hit me. I stopped the ball and kicked it hardly back to the playground.

32、d a talent for football. From now on, I started to play my football with classmates after school. I am a good player now.答案：1第一句：interestinginterested考查形容词。become interested in “变得对感兴趣”。2第二句：wherewhen考查定语从句的引导词。先行词one afternoon是表示时间的名词，后面的定语从句应用when引导。3第三句：football前加a考查冠词。此处是泛指“一个足球”，应用不定冠词a。4第三句：bu
33、tand考查连词。“一个足球正好落在我面前”与“差点儿打到我”之间是顺承关系，故用并列连词and。5第四句：hardlyhard考查副词。此处表示“用力把足球踢回操场”，应用副词hard “用力地”。hardly也是副词，但意为“几乎不”。6第五句：surprisingsurprise考查固定搭配。to ones surprise “令某人惊讶的是”。7第六句：playerplayers考查名词。根据前面的all可知，player应用复数形式players。8第六句：saysaying考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，cheered是谓语动词，say前没有并列连词，所以say只能用非谓语动词形式；主语与say之间是主动关系，故用现在分词短语作状语。9第七句：nowthen考查副词。文章讲述的是过去发生的事情，应该用from then on，意为“从那时起”。from now on意为“从现在起”。10第七句：去掉my考查动词。play football “踢足球”。“play球类名词”，固定搭配，中间不加冠词或形容词性物主代词。
