The last football season was long over. Our team had done well but I wanted us to do even better the next year. But how? Then an idea hit me. I ordered cards with simple words—"BOONVILLE PIRATES—1974 STATE CHAMPIONS(州冠军)!"

When the cards were printed, we gave them out all over the town. Pretty soon those cards were everywhere. That was what we wanted. We wanted our goal(目标) to be right in front of us, and for all to see.

Although someone doubted our words, it only served to encourage us to make our dream come true. Our school had never won a state champion in any sport—we decided to change that history.

By the time football practice started in late August, we were focused. With our goal in our minds, we stepped into the final.

Then it started to snow. A huge storm broke and school was cancelled. But we made it to the school gym(体育馆) and kept practicing.

Our coach received a call the night before the game. He told us that sate officers were thinking of cancelling the game and announcing that both teams were champions because of the bad weather. We were asked if we would accept that. "No way" was our answer.

The day came. We arrived at the football field and found it was covered in snow. Still, we began our warm-ups.

Both teams didn't score in the first half. We became worried because time was running out on our team. During the break, Coach Rengan reminded us of what we had been through to get to this moment. Then he pulled out the card, saying. "Do you want this?"

Paying conditions were still difficult, but our determination didn't disappear. We unbelievably scored 34 points in the second half. Our year-long dream came true—1974 STATE CHAMPIONS.

1.Why did the members give out the cards all over the town?

A.To make their dream about a state champion known.

B.To call on people to join their team.

C.To tell their success in the last football season.

D.To invite people to watch the game.

2.What do we know about the team?

A.They changed the words in their cards.

B.They learned a lot from the other team.

C.They refused the decision made by the state officers.

D.They practiced out of school because of the storm.

3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A.The author(作者) ordered cards in 1973.

B.Some people in town doubted the words on the card.

C.The players became worried when arriving at the football field.

D.The author's team scored 34 points in the final.

4.What did the Coach Reagan do during the team's break time?

A.He taught them to stay calm. B.He gave them some valuable advice.

C.He comforted (安慰) them for a scoreless first half. D.He reminded them of their dream.

5.What can be the best title for the passage?

It was the last figure skating competition for this season. Our team must beat every other team to enter the state competition.
　　　 Skaters were practicing all over the ice. Suddenly my teammate Danielle knocked her head hard on the ice and cried loudly, then she was carried out of the rink (冰场) and sent to hospital.

“Allison,” Coach Janice came up to me, “Danielle can’t _______ today. So I need you to do the axel（前外一周半跳）.”

I tried to focus. I took off and rotated（旋转）my body as much as possible in the air. Then I came down, landing on my feet. I did it! My teammates screamed with _______.

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15thbirthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgway’s school of adventure（冒险）in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold—waterexploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long—distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.

Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

1.According to Paragraph 2, what changed Saunders?

A.A friend’s words. B.A mountain bike.

C.His 18thbirthday gift. D.His first marathon.

2.What did Saunders do in 2001?

A.He decided to build up his body.

B.He met John Ridgway in Scotland.

C.He worked as a teacher at school.

D.He took an adventure to the North Pole.

3.What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders?

A.He is a success in sports.

B.He is the youngest British skier.

C.He is Ridgway’s best student.

D.He is a good teacher at school.
