Each team had 9 players, with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once. On the second night,they fell asleep as soon as they stopped.Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the only serious problem was a psychological（心理學(xué)的）one. Each boy was thinking: Why am I doing this? How can I play any longer? After the third night, the players knew they could finish the 90 hours. The basketball on the fourth nigth was very slow. But in the final hours, the players got better. For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!

| D．In the end,all the boys felt happy |
【小題1】A
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】A
解析試題分析：
【小題1】A 計算題。根據(jù)第一段第二行They wanted to play for 90 hours ,breaking the record by adding 6 hours .說明他們想創(chuàng)造的記錄是90小時，比以前多了6小時，那么以前的就是84小時。故A正確。
【小題2】A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第二句When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once.說明他們第一天晚上太興奮了，故A正確。
【小題3】C 推理題。根據(jù)本句, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!說明fresh是指與他們在第一天剛剛開始的時候差不多的感覺，而在第一天他們很興奮，故該詞也應(yīng)該指興奮。故C正確。
【小題4】A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once.說明B正確。第一段最后一句Then they started at 6 o’clock in the evening.說明A正確。文章最后一段最后兩行For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as when they started. How happy everyone was!說明D正確。只有A項文章沒有涉及，文章只是說他們在第二談根據(jù)和疲憊，沒有說受傷，故A錯誤。
考點：考查故事類短文閱讀
點評：文章介紹了一群男孩子努力破馬拉松世界紀(jì)錄的經(jīng)過。故事類短文要抓住故事的人物，地點，時間和故事發(fā)生的線索。本文集中考查細(xì)節(jié)題，要求考生在閱讀時，關(guān)注各種細(xì)節(jié)，做好標(biāo)志，減少回讀的次數(shù)，提高閱讀的效率。

Michael, a normal American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from communicating with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their job at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. Also, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area in which technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means _______.
A. Michael is a person full of imagination and his dreams can come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist
C. Michael has ambitions but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is full of imagination and his life style is common nowadays
What does the author discuss in the last paragraph ?
A. Technology is changing ways of entertainment.
B. People will never go to the concert in future.
C. How to borrow videotapes at home.
D. How to see a movie at home.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer need to communicate with other people.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating people.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work at home.

Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (終端) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls o
r in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going
out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living-rooms.
