Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game.Friends compete against friends. 3.__ Colleagues against bosses.

Big?name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament.But each year there are dark horses from little?known universities.

This adds to the madness.Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000,for many Americans,is an exciting experience.Some years ago,the little?known George Mason University was one of the final four teams._ 4.__

College basketball players are not paid,so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves._ 5.__ About $4 billion will be spent gambling(赌) on the event.According to Media Life magazine,the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year,topping the post?season income of every US professional league,including that of the NBA.

【解析】

试题分析:“三月疯狂”(即美国大学篮球繁忙冠军赛季)席卷美国。

1.D考查文章的结构和上下文的逻辑关系。该段简要讲述是是:这种浪潮给不同人群所带来的影响。题文讲到了“它使小孩们待在家里而不是学校。员工会突然失去他们的注意力。”故该空选择D.College students will ignore piles of homework.大学生们会忽略掉一大堆家庭作业

2.F考查文章的结构和上下文的逻辑关系。该段向读者简介“三月疯狂”的基本情况,故该空选择F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.它从在3月15日开始,持续到4月初结束。告诉人们“三月疯狂”的时间。

3.A考查上下文的逻辑关系。该部分讲述的是“三月疯狂”的乐趣在于猜每场比赛的获胜者。朋友于朋友争(谁是获胜者)。下属与老板争。故该空应选A.Husbands against wives.[来丈夫与妻子争。

4.G考查上下文的逻辑关系。该段承接上段讲得是比赛中不乏出现黑马,且根据该空的前一句中的用以修饰George Mason University的“the little?known”,可知该空的正确答案为G.Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.在比赛前很多人甚至从来没有听说过这所大学。

5.C考查上下文的逻辑关系。该空前句“College basketball players are not paid,so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.”大学篮球运动员没有报酬,所以,这个比赛更多的是为他们的大学和他们自己的名声所考虑,而其后内容则告诉读者这个比赛所带来的经济效益。故此空需要表示转折且其内容应与“钱”相关,所以正确答案为C.But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.但这并不意味着与金钱无关。

考点:文章结构和上下文的逻辑关系

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”

“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”

1.Paddy cried because he thought ___________.

A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

2.The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.

A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank

D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.

B. The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.

C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.

D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.

4.What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?

A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.

B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.

D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
