Question

I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, but they were playing a real game — a serious game — two teams, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents. I didn’t know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distractionof being anxious about winning or losing.
The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two. Nobody scored in the first period. Then came the second quarter. The Team One coach pulled out what must have been his first team and put in the scrubs(替補(bǔ)隊(duì)員), except for his best player who now guarded the goal.
The game took a dramatic turn. I guess winning is important even when you’re five years old — because the Team Two coach left his best players in, and the Team One scrubs were no match for them. Team Two packed around the little guy who was now the Team One goalkeeper. He was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four who were also very good. Team Two began to score. The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying bravely to stop them.
Team Two scored two goals in quick succession. It angered the young boy. He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving. With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball, but that boy kicked it to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time he repositioned himself, it was too late — they scored a third goal.
I soon learned who the goalkeeper’s parents were. They were nice, decent-looking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office — he still had his suit and tie on. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field and his parents on the sidelines.
After the third goal, the little kid changed. He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him. His father changed, too. He had been urging his son to try harder — yelling advice and encouragement. But then he became anxious. He tried to say that it was okay — to hang in there. He sorrowed for the pain his son was feeling.
After the fourth goal, I knew what was going to happen. The little boy fetched the ball from the net and handed it to the referee(裁判). He just stood there while huge tears rolled down both cheeks. He went to his knees, and he cried the tears of the helpless and brokenhearted.
At that moment, I saw the father start onto the field. His wife seized his arm and said, “Jim, don’t. You’ll embarrass him.” But he tore loose from her and ran onto the field. Suit, tie, dress shoe, and all — he charged onto the field, and he picked up his son so everybody would know that this was his boy, and he hugged him and held him and cried with him. I’ve never been so proud of a man in my life.
He carried him off the field, and when he got close to the sidelines I heard him say, “Scotty, I’m so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son.”
“Daddy,” the boy sobbed. “I couldn’t stop them. I tried, Daddy, but they scored on me.”
“Scotty, it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you. You’re my son, and I’m proud of you. I want you to go back there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can’t. And, son, you’re going to get scored on again, but it doesn’t matter. In my eyes, you are the winner! Go on, now.”
The little guy ran back onto the field — and they scored two more times — but it was okay. Now in all viewers’ eyes, he is the Winner.
When you’re all alone, and you’re getting scored on — and you can’t stop them — it means a lot to know that it doesn’t matter to those who love you. In their eyes, so long as you don’t give up, you are the winner. And they are always proud of you.

解析試題分析：試題分析：作為局外人，作者觀看了一場(chǎng)勢(shì)均力敵的足球比賽。在這場(chǎng)比賽中，作為守門(mén)員的一個(gè)小男孩給作者留下了深刻的印象。小男孩所守的門(mén)雖然被對(duì)方屢屢破門(mén)，但是在父親的鼓勵(lì)下，他沒(méi)有放棄，堅(jiān)持到底，直到最后。作者由此發(fā)出感嘆：只要你堅(jiān)持，永不言棄，你就是真正的贏家。
【小題1】B 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文“Nobody scored in the first period.”我們知道雙方都沒(méi)有得分。而根據(jù)下文的敘述，我們知道“有一方的球門(mén)已經(jīng)被突破”，所以“比賽發(fā)生了戲劇性的轉(zhuǎn)折”即“發(fā)生了巨大的變化”。
【小題2】D 推理判斷題。理解四個(gè)備選項(xiàng)，就能得出答案�！癆. The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body.”說(shuō)明他“做了他能做的一切，不顧一切地?fù)淞顺鋈ァ币蚨�他沒(méi)有失去信心；“B. He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving.”說(shuō)明他“狂怒不已，又是叫啦，又是奔跑啦”因而也表明他沒(méi)有失去信心；“C. With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball.”說(shuō)明他“使出渾身的解數(shù)，撲向了那個(gè)控球的男孩”同樣說(shuō)明他還是沒(méi)有失去信心；“D. He  
didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him.”從后半句“他變得十分地絕望，臉上布滿無(wú)奈的表情”說(shuō)明他開(kāi)始失去信心了。
【小題3】A推理判斷題�！癑im, don’t. You’ll embarrass him.吉姆，不要那樣。你會(huì)使他尷尬的�！备鶤項(xiàng)敘述“她認(rèn)為那樣做會(huì)讓兒子感到很棘手”相吻合的。
【小題4】C推理判斷題。抓住事情發(fā)展的脈絡(luò)，就能得到答案。開(kāi)始作者作為局外人，是懷著一顆平常心觀看比賽的；接著小男孩的深深吸引了他；最后對(duì)小男孩的堅(jiān)守發(fā)出了由衷的感嘆，深受感動(dòng)。故選C項(xiàng)。
【小題5】D 推理判斷題。小男孩是在父親的大力鼓勵(lì)下才得以堅(jiān)守下去的，從文中“父親沖入賽場(chǎng)的一系列動(dòng)作的描寫(xiě)”充分說(shuō)明是故事最重要的節(jié)點(diǎn)。
【小題6】C 主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段我們不難推出主旨大意：只要你堅(jiān)持，永不言棄，你就是真正的贏家。故選C“真正的勝利者”來(lái)囊括全文主題。
考點(diǎn)：故事類閱讀理解
