Football season started in September and all summer long I Practiced. I carried my football wherever I want.

Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and l【2】 his right arm, I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very pale, but he didn’t cry.

That season, I broke all of Miller’s r【3】 while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable（有价值的）footballer, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for（因…该受责备）Miller’s a【4】 .

One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stuck going over a fence, which wasn’t hard to climb if you had b【5】 arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world, he wanted to accept assistance from. But even that challenge（挑战）he accepted. I helped him move slowly over the fence.

【解析】

这篇短文讲述的是作者一直想成为学校足球队的明星，他想打败Miller。在新的赛季开始之前，Miler出了车祸，失去了一只胳膊。作者的梦想实现了，但身残志坚的Miller仍然受到了作者的崇拜。

【1】句意：那就意味着要打败Miller King，我们学校最好的运动员。

上句话my only purpose was to become the star on my football team.提到了“作者想要成为足球队里的明星”，因此Miller King是足球队的一个成员，故这里应填player，“运动员”。

【2】句意：就在九月之前，Miller被车撞了，失去了他的右臂。

根据空前Miller was struck by a car“Miller被车撞了”以及下文I thought to myself, even though he had only one arm he was more of a leader“尽管他只有一只胳膊”可知，Miller在车祸中失去了一个胳膊。lose失去，是一个动词。这里应与空前的was struck并列，也用过去式，故填lost。

【3】句意：那个赛季，我打破了Miller的所有纪录，而他在替补席上看主场比赛。

根据下文We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable（有价值的）footballer,可知，“我”在比赛中表现非常优秀，获得了最有价值球员。再结合单词的首字母可知，这里考查record“纪录”，空前有all修饰，故这里填复数records。

【4】句意：但是我经常做一些疯狂的梦，梦里我该为Miller的事故受到责备。

根据上文Just before September, Miller was struck by a car可知，这里提到了Miller出了车祸，结合单词首字母可知，这里考查accident，意为“事故”。

【5】句意：一天下午，我正穿过田野回家，看见Miller在越过一个篱笆，这对于一个有两个胳膊的人来说并不困难。

根据第2小题的注释可知，Miller在车祸中失去了一个胳膊，所以在爬篱笆的时候就很困难，而对于一个有两个胳膊的人来说就没有那么困难了。由此可知这里考查both“两者”。

【6】句意：当我们终于安全到达另一边的时候，他对我说：“你知道，我在赛季没有告诉你，你做得很好。”

根据上文One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stuck going over a fence可知，Miller在越过一个篱笆，所以这里表示他们到了篱笆的另一边，考查other，“其他的，另外的”。

【7】句意：受伤了，但是从来没有被打败，Miller还是在我的前面。

根据上下文语境he was more of a leader. I was right to have admired（崇拜）him.可知，虽然Miller失去了一只胳膊，但作者仍然非常崇拜他，故这里填still“仍然”。

这是一篇记叙文，短文讲述了作者和Miller之间的故事。文章叙述清晰，文意比较容易理解。题型是根据文意和单词的首字母，填写适当的单词。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文意；然后根据文意和首字母提示，填写适当的单词，并注意使用单词的正确形式。例如第2小题，根据空前Miller was struck by a car“Miller被车撞了”以及下文I thought to myself, even though he had only one arm he was more of a leader“尽管他只有一只胳膊”可知，Miller在车祸中失去了一个胳膊。lose失去，是一个动词。这里应与空前的was struck并列，也用过去式，故填lost。再如第6小题，根据上文One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stuck going over a fence可知，Miller在越过一个篱笆，所以这里表示他们到了篱笆的另一边，考查other，“其他的，另外的”。
