Question

1 

February 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.

         Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin's background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.

         Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.

         In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.

         During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.

         When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.

    At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.

    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory. Knicks fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林發(fā)瘋）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.

Answer 1

【答案】

 

1.D

2.B

3.C

4.A

【解析】試題分析：

1.第二段講到他父親對他的影響，林書豪還是小孩時就對籃球很熱愛，第六段When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract,可見，他畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué)，這個名頭并沒有給他多少幫助。

2.推斷題。定位在倒數(shù)第二段，剛開始很興奮，但是隨后興奮感消失了，取而代之的是焦慮。

disappear 消失   arose 出現(xiàn)   grew 生長  remain 仍然

3..判斷題。第二段he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.  故選C。A.應(yīng)為5歲時就學(xué)習(xí)打籃球。

B.倒數(shù)第二段，講到他剛開始時并不順利，甚至在紐約尼克斯隊選正確被兩個隊拋棄過。D.夸大其詞，文章并未提到他是最杰出的。

4..推斷題。林書豪的NBA之路并非一帆風(fēng)順。排除法選A。 第五段講到了林在哈佛的表現(xiàn)非常出色。

考點(diǎn)：人物傳記類

點(diǎn)評：文章講述了林書豪的成長經(jīng)歷。講述他的NBA之旅并非一帆風(fēng)順，最后取得了成功。解答這類題把握好文章的主線，運(yùn)用排除法及細(xì)節(jié)分析對比法，解答好每一題。對于69題的判斷題，要仔細(xì)對照全文，既要避免絕對化語言，也要避免偷換概念，以偏概全。
