It’s a cold wet afternoon in April.
It’s a perfect day for sitting in a warm classroom, sending text messages to friends and looking out of the window. It’s a perfect day for sitting in a warm office, sending emails and surfing the net. It’s a perfect day for looking for new clothes in the warm shopping centre, or for sitting at home, drinking hot chocolate and watching afternoon TV.
But on the sports field of Westbourne High School, two football teams are running up and down, kicking a heavy wet football. It’s an important match—the semi-final of the girls’ football championship between Westbourne and New Milton.
THWACK!
The goalkeeper kicks the football high into the air.
The team in red shirts run up the field, and the team in blue shirts run back.
A girl in a red shirt with black hair and brown eyes watches the ball carefully. She walks slowly into the centre circle.
BOING!
A girl in a blue shirt heads the ball. It flies up into the grey air.
BIFF!
The ball lands at the feet of the girl with black hair. She immediately starts running towards the blue team’s goal.
“Go on, Zadie!” her teammates shout.
Zadie runs quickly. The girls from New Milton can’t catch her. But then in front of her, Zadie sees a tall girl in a blue shirt. She’s big. She’s fast. And she’s right in front of her!

But Zadie has an idea. Zadie kicks the ball to the girl’s left, and then runs to the girl’s right.
The tall girl is confused. She looks at the ball and then at Zadie. She doesn’t know which way to move. So Zadie runs past her, and gets the ball on the other side!
Now she has only the goalkeeper to beat.

在一个寒冷潮湿的四月下午,韦斯特伯恩中学的足球场上,两支球队正在进行重要的半决赛。比赛正在激烈地进行着,Zadie巧妙地绕过一名高大的对手,现在她只需要面对守门员了。
1. C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,在寒冷潮湿的下午,适合发短信给朋友,坐在办公室里上网,或坐在家里,喝热巧克力,看午后的电视。因此进行足球比赛是不适合的。
2. D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二、三、四段可知,Zadie跑得快,而且很聪明。
3. A 词义猜测题。根据倒数第六段可知,球落在黑发女孩的脚边,她立刻开始朝蓝队的球门跑去。因此画线词意为"立刻,马上",与A项意思相近。
4. B 标题概括题。根据全文内容,尤其是第三段中的"It's an important match—the semi-final of the girls' football championship between Westbourne and New Milton."可知,B项"一场重要的比赛"最适合作为文章的标题。
