Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．B;3．A;4．C;

(2)	根据倒数第二段的内容，教练在鼓励作者坚持到底。You give it your all．由句型give sb．sth．演化而来。所以理解为：你已经尽全力了。
(3)	从倒数第二段教练所说的 “You gave it your all．You deserved that trophy(战利品)，not the silver medal．You deserve it, but he is getting it．You really won and the whole team is proud．”可知教练在鼓励作者，认为作者的确显示了自己的力量。
