Tommy was waiting outside for Andy when the tryouts were over.

【解析】

短文大意：本文是記敘文，講述了愛打籃球的一對好朋友安迪和湯米參加籃球選拔賽的經(jīng)歷。

【1】句意：今天放學(xué)后有籃球隊(duì)的選拔賽。

tryouts考核潛力（選拔賽）；players隊(duì)員；games比賽；fans球迷。根據(jù)后文“Tommy was waiting outside for Andy when the tryouts were over選拔結(jié)束時，湯米正在外面等安迪”可知選A。

【2】句意：他喜歡手中籃球的感覺，喜歡球穿過球網(wǎng)時發(fā)出的聲音。

flight飛行；circle圓圈；noise噪音；sound聲音。根據(jù)下文“The best sound in the world世界上最好的聲音”可知選D。

【3】句意：我覺得這節(jié)課永遠(yuǎn)不會結(jié)束。

end結(jié)束；last持續(xù)；work工作；change改變。根據(jù)前文“Usually, Andy didn't want biology class to end通常，安迪不希望生物課結(jié)束”可知選A。

【4】句意：安迪知道籃球隊(duì)只有20個人的位置。

areas區(qū)域；places地方；balls球；names名字。根據(jù)上文“At least 60 boys were there. 當(dāng)時至少有60名男孩在場”，可知空間不夠，只有20個人的位置，故選B。

【5】句意：不管怎樣，明天上課前，教練會公布一份名單。

find發(fā)現(xiàn)；read讀；post郵寄/張貼；check檢查。根據(jù)下文“He found Tommy's name on the list他在名單上找到了湯米的名字”可知，老師貼出了公示，故選C。

【6】句意：然后他們默默地走回家。

disappointment失望；excitement高興；surprise驚奇；silence沉默。根據(jù)語境，可知他們還不知道結(jié)果如何，前面三項(xiàng)不合語境，in silence沉默，故選D。

【7】句意：他聽到湯米高興的聲音。

different不同的；strange奇怪的；happy高興的；upset沮喪的。根據(jù)下文“we made it!我們成功了”可知很高興，故選C。

【8】句意：他轉(zhuǎn)過身來和湯米擊掌。

followed跟著；turned轉(zhuǎn)；rose增加；left離開。根據(jù)下文“and gave Tommy a high-five和湯米擊掌”，可知是他轉(zhuǎn)過身，故選B。

完形填空。主要題型有（1）考查詞義辨析：名詞辨析，形容詞副詞辨析，冠詞辨析，介詞連詞辨析等；（2）考查句子時態(tài)，語態(tài)，要根據(jù)語境，選擇正確的時態(tài)和語態(tài)的選項(xiàng)；（3）考查從句（賓語從句，定語從句，主語從句等）；（4）根據(jù)固定句型或短語結(jié)合語境選擇正確的選項(xiàng)。本題主要考查單詞或短語辨析，做此類型題時，要知道每一個詞的意義，然后結(jié)合上下文背景語境，選擇適合語境的選項(xiàng)。例如小題7，四個選項(xiàng)都是形容詞，考查形容詞辨析：different不同的；strange奇怪的；happy高興的；upset沮喪的。根據(jù)下文“we made it!我們成功了”可知很高興，故選C。
