{01}My enthusiasm for Chinese football team gradually _____ because of their countless failures.

A.disappeared

B.faded

C.ran out

D.gave up

解析：该题考查词语辨析。fade是指(声音、热情)渐渐消失，或颜色褪色。
本题选B。
{02} The news about the terrible flood there greatly discouraged __________ there for sightseeing.

A.us from going

B.us to go

C.our going

D.our to go

解析：discourage与encourage互为反义词。英语中说“鼓励某人做某事”时使用encourage sb．to do sth．，但如果表示“使某人没勇气做某事”时，不能用discourage sb．to do sth．，其正确形式是：discourage sb from doing sth。
本题选A。
