My daughter plays on a recreational soccer team. They did well this season and so (45)______a tournament, which normally was only for more skilled club teams. This led to some (46)______experiences on Saturday as they played against teams (47)______trained. Through the first two games, her (48)______did not get one serious shot on goal. As a parent, I (49)______seeing my daughter playing her best, (50)______still defeated.
It seemed that something clicked with the (51)______between Saturday and Sunday. When they (52)______for their Sunday game, they were (53)______different.

困惑： 易错题（45题）
分析： 本题易错选项是A项，属于“忽略上下文提示”的错误类型。选A项won（赢得）的同学可能恰恰是看作者在前面说“她们这个赛季踢得很好”。但是，这只是上文提示，还有下文一大段文字都在告诉我们比赛还没有结束，周六还要跟更专业的球队比赛，此时填B项entered（进入）最符合语境，因此正确。
I think it is a general principle. (59) Experience is the best teacher.
困惑： 易错题（59题）
分析： 本题易错选项是D项，属于“忽略上下文提示”的错误类型。我猜命题老师在设置D项的时候也是“腹黑”地“狞笑”了一下。其实这道题反映了同学们经常犯的一个错误——做完形填空时当发现按某个选项翻译后正好对应生活中一个相当常见的表达时，经常会忽略上下文而贸然选择该选项。这道题中选D项的同学一定是想到了“兴趣是最好的老师”这句话，但往后面看一看就会发现压根与“兴趣”无关，而后面直接提到了一个词——lesson，什么意思？课程，经验，教训。所以本题应该选A项（经验）。同样的例子还有很多，举一个供大家感受一下。2011年合肥二模完形填空有一道题说“这句话（生存还是死亡）哈姆雷特并不是为自己而说的，也是为每一个________人所说”，选项当中有一个suffering（正忍受痛苦的），很多同学选择了这一项。为什么？因为故事里哈姆雷特就是个悲剧的角色。但是错了。又为什么？因为这是完形填空，不是文学常识填空，所以做题不能仅靠背景知识，还要依据上下文。那句话前面有一句话说“They were spoken by Hamlet when he was________aloud”，这道题的正确答案是thinking（思考）。因此，同学们在做题的时候切忌直接凭借“背景知识”进行选择，而一定要结合文章上下文。原因很简单，为了保证公平，高考英语是不考背景知识的，而只考查学科所学知识和常识。
当你想去学些什么的时候你去哪儿呢？去学校？找朋友？请家庭教师？这些都是 (41) 传统的 学习场所。但是有可能你真正想要的学习(42) 在 其他某个地方。我在一个 (43) 周末 有了亲眼见证这种可能性的(44) 机 会 。
我的女儿在一个业余足球队中踢球。她们这个赛季踢得不错并且因此 (45) 进入 了锦标赛，通常只有更有经验的俱乐部球队才能进入锦标赛。因为她们要与训练 (47) 更有素 的球队对战，所以这件事也在周六给她们带来了一些 (46) 痛苦的 经历。在前两场比赛中，她的 (48) 球队 一次有威胁的射门都没有。作为一个家长，我 (49) 讨厌 看到我的女儿拼尽全力 (50) 却 依然失败。
这些 (51) 女孩 似乎在周六日之间明白了什么一样。当 (52) 出现 在周日的比赛上时，她们 (53) 完全 不一样了。她们把自己在前一天的比赛当中所 (54) 看到 的几种打法和团队配合融入自己的 (55) 比赛 中了。她们踢得很有攻击性，(56) 甚至 还进了一球。
我 (57) 突然意识到 ，与其他球队比赛对这个球队的所有女孩们来说是一个特别好的 (58) 学习 机会。我认为这是一个普遍原理。(59) 经验 是最好的老师。她们学到的经验教训跟在学校里学到的可能没有什么 (60) 不同 ，但是一定更加个性化且有意义，因为她们必须靠自己才能理解消化。
