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

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。
