Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record(马拉松记录). They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six hours to the record. Each team had nine players, with five 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(兴奋的) to fall asleep at once.
After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. 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(心理上的) 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 ninety hours. The basketball on the fourth night 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！

(答案→)D
解析：本文讲述了一群年轻人打破世界纪录的故事以及在此过程中的具体情况描述。
【小题1】D 计算题。根据第一段Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record(马拉松记录). They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six hours to the record. Each team had nine players, with five at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21. 5 hours and then rest for 2 hours.可知90个小时由两支队伍轮流进行，一支队伍9人，那么一共18人，故D正确。
【小题2】A 计算题。根据第一段第2行They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six hours to the record.说明现在的记录是90小时，比原来多了6小时，那么原来是84小时。故A正确。
【小题3】A 细节题。根据第二段The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited(兴奋的) to fall asleep at once. 说明他们很兴奋，难以入睡。故A正确。
【小题4】C 推理题。根据文章最后3行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！
可知在最后几个小时里，他们感觉到即将成功了，所以非常兴奋和刚刚开始一样了。故C项正确。
【小题5】B 细节题。在这四天里，只有第一天他们很兴奋，难以入睡；其余几天都非常累，所以很快就睡着了。故B正确。
