Across the street from our home was a school and I would often watch the kids as they played basketball during the break. I often noticed a small
__16__
playing with boys.
I watched in
__17__
as she ran circles around the other kids. She
__18__
to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. At other times I saw her playing alone,
sometimes until
__19__.
One day I asked her why she
__20__
so much. She looked __21__
in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation
she said, “The only way I can go to
__22__
is to get a scholarship. I believe that I would get it if I were good enough at
__23__.
My dad told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't
__24__.” Then with a determined smile she ran towards the court. I watched her
__25__
those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head
__26__
in her arms. The coach(教练) told her that at 5 feet 5 inches she would
__27__
never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she
should
__28__
dreaming about college. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She
__29__
her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches just did not understand the
__30__
of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship,
__31__
could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.
The next year,
__32__
she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college coach. She was indeed
__33__
a scholarship, a full one. She was going to get the college education that she had __34__
and worked toward for all those years. It's

B. possible
C. proper
D. perfect 答案与解析： 16．B 根据下文提到的人称代词she可判断这里指的是一个“女孩”。作者当时注意到的应该是这些孩子打球时的场面，而不是打球人的身份，因此C项不恰当。 17．C 结合本句后半句中的内容以及下一句中的内容可知作者对她的出色表现“惊奇不已”。B项多用来表示对不好的消息感到震惊，所以不合适。 18．A manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”。 19．C 下文提到她苦练篮球的目的是获得奖学金，由此可知她为了实现自己的梦想不懈地奋斗，有时独自练习到“天黑”。 20．A 作者询问她为什么如此刻苦“练习”。B项表示“遭受苦难”；C项表示“表演”；D项通常指军队等的操练。 21．D 她“直视”着作者的眼睛，毫不犹豫地回答了作者提出的问题。 22．C 最后一段提到一位大学教练看到了她的优异表现，她最终获得了全额奖学金，由此可推测她上大学的唯一途径是获得奖学金。 23．B 上文提到她一直苦练篮球技术，由此可推断她是想通过“打篮球”进入大学的殿堂。 24．C 此处count表示“很重要”。意思是只要志向远大，事实不重要。 25．D 作者目睹她上完了初中并转入到高中学习的全过程，所以用through。 26．A 根据下一句教练所说的话可知她当时极度痛苦，将头“埋”在双臂中。B项表示“放置”，C项表示“掩藏”，D项表示“落下”，都不符合语境。 27．D 教练认为她个头不高，“也许”永远无法入选到顶尖球队，更不要说获得奖学金了。 28．A 教练觉得她的身高条件不够，她应该“放弃”上大学的梦想。 29．B 上文提到她当时将头埋在双臂中，所以此时应该是将头“抬起”。 30．B 她的父亲说那些教练根本不理解梦想的“力量”。effect表示“影响”。 31．D 她的父亲告诉她如果她真想获得奖学金，除了她自己的态度之外，“没有什么”可以阻止她。 32．C 此处叙述的是她和自己的球队在比赛期间发生的事情，所以用as“当……时候”。 33．D 她确实被“提供”了奖学金，而且是全额奖学金。 34．B 她终于进入了自己“梦寐以求”而且多年来一直为之苦苦奋斗的大学。 35．A 作者通过小女孩成功的故事感悟到这样的真理：只要志向远大，事实不重要。 Ⅲ.七选五 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy.
