    Recentlyas I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school teamI was starting to feel sorry for myself and for himHis team was facing adversity(逆境)on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supportersand Nathan's team was trailing(落后)for three quarters of the gameAs for meI had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day

During my drive homeI kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilitiesThis is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son

The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailingI saw the determination on hisas well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game(平局),but then go ahead by three pointsThena player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up againWith a tie game and seconds on the clockNathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidencehe proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over himThe other player was called for a foul(犯规).

As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three pointsI saw the focus and determination on his facethere was no room for self doubtNathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skillit was as if he had done it a thousand times

As I sat theremy heart bursting with prideit dawned on meI had taught him perseverance in the face of adversityand he had just taught me the same lessonThat brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball courtHe will play in the finalsbut it doesn't matter if he wins or losesat this momentwe both won

1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在观看儿子篮球比赛过程中,看到儿子球队在比赛临近尾声并处于劣势的情况下,依然满怀信心、坚持不懈,最后获得了胜利。这番情景让刚刚失业正处于沮丧不自信中的作者消除了自我怀疑,重新燃起了生活的斗志。 1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team, I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was trailing for three quarters of the game.(最近,当我看到我儿子Nathan为他的高中队打篮球时,我开始为自己和他感到难过。他的球队在球场上正面临着逆境,他在一个充满敌意的环境中打球,对手的主场体育馆里挤满了他们的支持者,Nathan的球队落后了3分比赛的四分之一。)”可知,一开始的时候,作者认为自己儿子所在的球队会失败,结合选项,故选D。 2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“During my drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities. This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.(在开车回家的路上,我一直告诉自己,我会在短时间内重新找到工作,我对自己的经验和能力充满信心,这和我试图灌输给儿子的信念是一样的。)”可知,作者对于自己是充满了信心,同时对生活也是积极乐观的态度。结合选项,故选B。 3.词义猜测题。“and”前后为两个并列的短语,由短语“nail the free throw with such skill(用这样的技术把罚球钉住)”可知,Nathan能够把所有的分心都解除。故可推知划线单词意为:避免。A. Avoid避免;B. Focus集中注意力;C. Create创造;D. Receive接收。故选A。 4.主旨大意题。根据文章内容,本文讲述了作者在观看儿子篮球比赛过程中,看到儿子球队在比赛临近尾声并处于劣势的情况下,依然满怀信心、坚持不懈,最后获得了胜利,这番情景让刚刚失业正处于沮丧不自信中的作者消除了自我怀疑,重新燃起了生活的斗志。所以选项C中的life与作者的生活状况呼应,其中的basketball与作者的孩子的比赛呼应,lesson与作者的体会呼应。故选C。
