36．C 上文silently watch和really envied暗示了该空应填never．下文介绍的成长过程中“我”无法享受对篮球的爱也是选择线索。37．D
38．B 一开始“我”可以自由打篮球，因为我只是个小孩，没有人会介意。
39．A 与上文it was always the boys who played basketball形成对照，应填only，表示人们对男女生学校活动的性别刻板化印象。
40．C 在家里父母也不让“我”打篮球．A项搭配不对。41．D
42．D 甚至当“我”去和朋友们打篮球时，男孩们也盯着“我”看(不理解)，就好像“我”是个外星人似的。用stare at表示“盯着”。glare指“怒视”，不妥。glance指“瞥一眼”。根据语境，文中要表达的意息应是其他男孩不解地盯着自己。
43．B 学校不谁、家庭不让、男孩不理解使“我”打篮球的梦想根本无法实现，“我”感到心情沮丧。feel down引申为“感觉沮丧的”。
44．C 下文交待“我”新交的朋友鼓励“我”重新回到篮球场，这一转机在当时是无法预料的，故填Unexpectedly．45．A 他们鼓励“我’回到篮球场。46．B 走你自己的路，让别人去说吧。
47．A 本文话题是篮球与女生，因此该空应填basketball。
48．D 在朋友们的鼓励与引导下，自信、激情又回到“我”心中。49．C
50．B 篮球已变成“我”生命的一部分。51．C 通过篮球，我不但感到幸福、自信，而且还学到很多东西。52．A “我”逐渐意识到生活就像打篮球。53．B
54．C 你首先应该有一个目标，然后应自信，并且不停地走下去。 55．B 这个格言能够表达“我”对篮球的强烈感情。
