D．alone答案：D根据下文的“Shepracticeddribbling(运球)and__4__overandover.”可知，萨莉一遍又一遍练习运球和投篮，并没有比赛。因此，此处指她总是独自(alone)打球。故选D项。4．A.passing B．runningC．shooting D．struggling答案：C根据常识可知，运球动作的下一步应是投篮(shooting)。第1空后的句子也有提示。故选C项。5．A.studied B．practicedC．expected D．improved答案：B根据上文中的“Shepracticed...overandover.”可知，此处指作者询问萨莉为什么要如此努力地练习(practiced)。故选B项。6．A.title

D．count答案：D根据文章最后一段中的“ifthedreamisbigenough,thefactsdon'tcount”可知，父亲告诉萨莉，如果梦想足够大，事实就不算什么(count)。故选D项。9．A.encouraged B．respectedC．watched D．helped答案：C根据语境可知，作者一直在关注萨莉，故此处指作者关注着(watched)她从初中升到高中的这些年。故选C项。10．A.victory B．confidenceC．responsibility D．profession答案：A萨莉一直在刻苦练习，为了自己的梦想而努力。由此可推测，此处指她带领球队取得胜利(victory)，故A项符合语境。11．A.dropped B．buriedC．covered D．sunk答案：B根据下文及本段最后一句中的“sosheshouldstopdreamingaboutcollege”可知，教练告诉萨莉她太矮了，无法进入顶尖球队，此时萨莉非常失落，因此应是将头埋在(buried)臂弯里。故选B项。12．A.walkedoff B．walkedoutC．walkedaround D．walkedup答案：D根据空后的“satdownbesideher”可知，此处指作者看到萨莉后，向她走去(walkedup)，轻轻地坐到她旁边。故选D项。13．A.coach B．teacherC．captain D．leader答案：A根据第16空前的“thosecoaches”可知，此处指篮球教练(coach)告诉她，以她的身高，几乎是没有机会到一流的球队去打球的，更不用说获得奖学金了。故选A项。14．A.suggested B．sentC．promised D．offered答案：D根据第18空后的“offeredascholarship”可知答案为offered。offer本意为“(主动)提供”，此处用beoffered表达获得学校提供的奖学金，故选D项。15．A.worried B．excitedC．disappointed D．surprised答案：C萨莉一直在为上大学的梦想而努力，如今被告知可能得不到奖学金，只能放弃上大学的梦想，萨莉应该是极度失望的(disappointed)。故选C项。16．A.great B．wrongC．strict D．cruel答案：B根据下文“Theydidn'tunderstandthe__17__ofadream.”可知，萨莉的父亲认为教练不懂梦想的力量，因此在否认教练说的话，认为那些教练是错误的(wrong)。故选B项。17．A.pressure B．valueC．cause D．power答案：D根据上文可知，萨莉的父亲说如果梦想足够大，现实中的困难也算不上什么，强调了梦想的力量(power)。故选D项。18．A.exactly B．naturallyC．really D．normally答案：C根据下文的“Shewasgoingtogetthecollegeeducation”可知，萨莉真的(really)获得了一份奖学金。故选C项。19．A.taken
