湖北省武汉市武昌区2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末英语试卷
Emma was very excited. Today was the baseball game! The winners would all get trophies (奖杯). Emma decided to bring home a trophy to put on her shelf. She had never won a trophy before.
She put on her red uniform, picked up her gloves and said to herself, "I hope I get a hit today."
On the way to field, Emma felt nervous.
"Are you feeling okay, Emma?" her mother asked.
"I really don't want to strike out," Emma said.
"Just keep your eye on the ball and don't feel afraid. You can do it," Emma's mother said.
Emma was a great hitter in practice, but she had never hit a ball during a game. She almost always struck out.
When the game started, Emma cheered (喝彩) loudly for her friends. She caught a fly ball to make an out, and everyone cheered for her. Emma struck out when it was her turn to bat, but her team was doing well.
The game was tied (平局) and it was her team's last chance. Frankie was up first, and he hit the ball hard to get on base. Next up was Henry, but he struck out. Kara hit the ball, but she was out at first base. Frankie was able to run to third. That meant he could score (得分) and win the game if the next teammate got a good hit.
Emma closed her eyes and swung hard for the first time, but missed.
"Keep your eye on the ball, Emma!" her mother called from the stands.
Emma heard it. So this time she kept her eyes wide open as she swung the bat. Crack! Emma hit the ball and ran as fast as she could. She was safe, and Frankie ran home. They won!
"Great game, everyone!" said Emma's coach later. "Here are your trophies."
Emma held her shiny trophy high in the air. She couldn't wait to put the new trophy on her shelf at home.
