【1】

rude粗魯?shù)模?/span>ugly丑陋的；lazy懶惰的；small小的。so如此，根據(jù)“among the tall kids在高個子孩子中”，可知small和tall形成對比，前面三項意思都與句意不合，故選D。

【2】

句意：學校就在我家的街對面，我經(jīng)常看到孩子們在課間玩耍。

along沿著；across橫過/在對面；above在……上面；behind在……后面。across from在……另一邊，根據(jù)“from my home”可知學校在我家的街對面，故選B。

【3】

句意：她會一遍又一遍地練習運球和投籃。

avoid避免；enjoy享受；practice練習；suggest建議。over and over again一次又一次，根據(jù)“dribbling and shooting運球和投籃”，可知是一遍又一遍地練習，故選C。

【4】

句意：一天下午，我問她為什么總是不停地練。

why為什么，表原因；how如何，表方式；when什么時候，表時間；where在哪里，表地點。根據(jù)上文“She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again她反復練習運球和投籃”，結合下文的解釋，可知是問她為什么總是不停地練球，故選A。

【5】

句意：我相信如果我足夠優(yōu)秀能夠到大學去打籃球，我能得到獎學金。

modest謙虛的；curious好奇的；confident自信的；excellent優(yōu)秀的。根據(jù)上文“I want to go to University of California我想去加州大學”，結合下文的諺語，可知前面三項不合語境，是說足夠優(yōu)秀能夠到大學去打籃球，故選D。

【6】

句意：我爸爸告訴我，心中有目標，風雨不折腰。

facts事實；wishes愿望；choices選擇；mistakes錯誤。the dream夢想，根據(jù)句意語境可知，the facts和the dream形成對比，符合語境；結合短文結尾“If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count”，故選A。

【7】

句意：我看著她從初中到高中。

【9】

句意：“沒什么，”女孩柔聲答道。

soft輕柔的；loud大聲的；strong強大的；sweet甜的。根據(jù)上文“I saw her sitting in the grass quietly我看見她靜靜地坐在草地上”，結合下文女孩的擔憂，可知后面三項不合語境，應該是輕聲回答，故選A。

句意：很多人告訴我，我太矮了，進不了頂級球隊，所以我應該放棄上大學的夢想。

【11】

句意：她說她父親認為他們錯了。

right正確的；careful細心的；wrong錯誤的；careless粗心的。根據(jù)上文女孩的擔心“Many people told me that I was too short to play for a top team很多人告訴我，我太矮了，進不了頂級球隊”，結合父親的看法“They just didn't understand the great power of a dream他們恰恰不明白夢想的巨大力量”，可知父親認為他們說錯了，故選C。

句意：他們恰恰不明白夢想的巨大力量。

idea想法；balance平衡；power力量；chance機會。根據(jù)下文“If she truly wanted a scholarship, then nothing could prevent her如果她真的想獲得獎學金，那么什么也阻止不了她”，可知夢想的力量是很大的，故選C。

paid for支付/(為某種過失)付出代價；given up放棄；found out發(fā)現(xiàn)；dreamt of夢想。根據(jù)“worked toward for all those years為之奮斗多年”，結合短文講述的是女孩為上大學所做的努力，可知大學教育是她常年堅持的夢想，故選D。

完形填空。主要題型有（1）考查詞義辨析：名詞辨析，形容詞副詞辨析，冠詞辨析，介詞連詞辨析等；（2）考查句子時態(tài)，語態(tài)，要根據(jù)語境，選擇正確的時態(tài)和語態(tài)的選項；（3）考查從句（賓語從句，定語從句，主語從句等）；（4）根據(jù)固定句型或短語結合語境選擇正確的選項。

本文講述了一個女孩的追夢故事，主要考查單詞或短語辨析，做此類型題時，要知道每一個詞的意義，然后結合上下文背景語境，選擇適合語境的選項。例如小題3，四個選項都是動詞：avoid避免；enjoy享受；practice練習；suggest建議，考查動詞辨析。over and over again一次又一次，根據(jù)“dribbling and shooting”，可知是一遍又一遍地練習運球和投籃，故選C。
