第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
A feeling of excitement overcame me as I
looked around the stadium.
At 5: 30 pm, two hours before game time, I
walked into the locker room. My 36 of school, music and what I planned to do
on Saturday night were 37 with the simple aim to beat the football
team across the field from us tonight.
Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates
38 . Some rested on benches, staring up
at the ceiling 39 it were a film of the opposing teams
play. Some seemed a bit more 40 , using the time to tell jokes. A
few stared at the field, 41 what would happen in 120 minutes.
Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his
office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how 42 this game was for the season, between two
of the state’s top teams-my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School.
His words gave the team impulse (冲动) it needed to 43 .
At 7: 10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over
the game 44 and discussed what we needed to do for the
next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (国歌) 45 that we were only minutes from the
action. Our coach usually made a final 46 . But tonight was different. On this
clear night he 47 looked around the room at all
the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even 48 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were
already 49 our way out of the door.
Outside, a few young fans reached to touch
our hands, eager to be a 50 of our school’s winning tradition. When I
smiled and 51 my hand, the young faces lit up as if
they had just met Superman.
Seconds later, the team ran onto the 52 , moving as a mass of blue, in
front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 53 from fans and the fight song played by
our school band. Breathing in the 54 of one of the biggest game of the year, I
felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and 55 that it was for moments like this that I
loved high school football.
