After winning a big game, athletes are often asked how they feel. Usually athletes say how __1__ it is to win this big game. On the contrary, the fact is that losing a big game, or in my case, all the games, can be even harder.
From the spectators' point of view, last year's basketball __2__ for my high school team was nothing __3__ of an embarrassment. And __4__ 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season had a bigger impact on me than any other. As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldn't be the __5__ year, but did I ever think we would lose every game? Of course not. Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were a(n) __6__ team who would struggle. The struggle began earlier than expected, __7__, as our team's center was suspended (禁赛) for the season, and two key members decided to __8__
for some reason. At this point, dropping out probably passed through every player's mind, but in the end, we all stuck it out, __9__ to work still harder.
Then there came a time when even our __10__ had given up on us. Personally, I felt like it was __11__ worthwhile giving my all. I thought, if even the coach doesn't believe in us, why should I? But just as my hope began to __12__, a teammate called a meeting. He said, “Nobody thinks we are going to win, but, as teammates and friends, we __13__ it to each other to go all out every game.”
It was that moment that __14__ me how to be a leader. It hit me that I certainly didn't __15__the role. As a leader you can never quit __16__ the team who looks up to you. It is one __17__to be named captain, feel great and go through the motions, but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone realizes their full __18__ all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards. But in all honesty, I __19__ the fact that my team lost every game last year. It may not help me to become a better basketball player, but it already has made me a better leader, and __20__.
成功固然很艰难,但失败是不是就意味着失去一切呢?答案是否定的。作为一个高中篮球队的队长,我从去年我们球队一场未胜的赛季中发现了最珍贵的东西,它让我成为一个更好的队长。
1.A.exciting

3.A.short

B.though
C.instead
D.somehow
答案:B 然而(though),当我们球队的中锋整个赛季被禁赛,两个主力队员决定本赛季退赛(quit)时,这种奋斗比我们预期的来得早。此处though,意为“然而,可是”,表示转折。meanwhile“与此同时”;instead“代替,相反”;somehow“不知怎么地”,都与语境不符。
8.A.quit
B.stay
C.resign
D.rest
答案:A 参见7题解析。stay“停留,暂住”;resign“辞职,离职”;rest“休息”都与语境不符。
9.A.hoping
