【解析】

【1】C 上文silently watch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。

【2】D 由主句是现在完成时可知选since。

【6】D 甚至当“我”去和朋友们打篮球时，男孩们也盯着“我”看，就好像“我”是个疯子一样。even“甚至”。

【7】D 句意请参考第6题解释。rare稀罕的；valuable有价值的；magical魔术的；mad疯的。

【8】B 父母不允许、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”。

【9】A 下文交代“我”新交的朋友鼓励“我”重新回到篮球场，这一转机是非常幸运的，故填Luckily。

【10】A 她们也喜欢打篮球。enjoy doing sth.“喜欢做某事”。

【11】B 走你自己的路，让别人去说吧。这是一句谚语，way表示“道路”。

【12】A 本文话题是篮球与女生，因此该空应填basketball。

【13】D 在朋友们的鼓励与引导下，自信又回到“我”心中。return“返回”。

【14】B 篮球已变成“我”生命的一部分。

【15】C 通过篮球，我不但感到幸福、自信，而且还从别人身上学到很多东西。learn sth. from sb.“从某人身上学习某事”。

【18】C 你首先应该有一个目标，然后应自信，并且不停地走下去。keep doing sth.坚持做某事。

【19】D 短语make it表示“成功”。devote（和to连用）献身，专心于；survive幸存；host主办。

【20】B 这个格言能够表达“我”对篮球的强烈感情。organize组织；express表达；ignore忽视；connect连接。
