1.D 考查副詞。A. always 總是；B. often 經(jīng)常；C. ever 曾經(jīng)；D. never 從不。根據(jù)上文的I stopped to silently watch them. I really envied(羨慕) them.以及帶有否定意義的連詞but可知，作者羨慕男生打籃球，轉(zhuǎn)折之后則表示作者不能打球。故選擇D。

2.B 考查動詞。A. struggled 掙扎；B. interrupted 打斷、阻擋；C. enjoyed 享受；D. joined 加入。根據(jù)上文的At first, I could play freely可知，作者此時能自由地打球，故選擇B，意為沒有人阻擾她。
