【解析】

試題分析：“三月瘋狂”（即美國(guó)大學(xué)籃球繁忙冠軍賽季）席卷美國(guó)。

1.D考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。該段簡(jiǎn)要講述是是：這種浪潮給不同人群所帶來(lái)的影響。題文講到了“它使小孩們待在家里而不是學(xué)校。員工會(huì)突然失去他們的注意力�！惫试摽者x擇D.College students will ignore piles of homework.大學(xué)生們會(huì)忽略掉一大堆家庭作業(yè)。

2.F考查文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。該段向讀者簡(jiǎn)介“三月瘋狂”的基本情況，故該空選擇F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.它從在3月15日開始,持續(xù)到4月初結(jié)束。告訴人們“三月瘋狂”的時(shí)間。

3.A考查上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。該部分講述的是“三月瘋狂”的樂趣在于猜每場(chǎng)比賽的獲勝者。朋友于朋友爭(zhēng)（誰(shuí)是獲勝者）。下屬與老板爭(zhēng)。故該空應(yīng)選A.Husbands against wives.[來(lái)丈夫與妻子爭(zhēng)。

4.G考查上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。該段承接上段講得是比賽中不乏出現(xiàn)黑馬，且根據(jù)該空的前一句中的用以修飾George Mason University的“the little?known”，可知該空的正確答案為G.Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.在比賽前很多人甚至從來(lái)沒有聽說過這所大學(xué)。

5.C考查上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。該空前句“College basketball players are not paid，so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.”大學(xué)籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員沒有報(bào)酬，所以,這個(gè)比賽更多的是為他們的大學(xué)和他們自己的名聲所考慮，而其后內(nèi)容則告訴讀者這個(gè)比賽所帶來(lái)的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。故此空需要表示轉(zhuǎn)折且其內(nèi)容應(yīng)與“錢”相關(guān)，所以正確答案為C．But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.但這并不意味著與金錢無(wú)關(guān)。

考點(diǎn)：文章結(jié)構(gòu)和上下文的邏輯關(guān)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(陪審團(tuán)) 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.
