Question

【題目】 The beginning of baseball in China traces back further than most would think, in 1863. From that time, Chinese universities soon began to stage baseball activities. The first game, as documents recorded, was held in Shanghai in 1905. National interest in this traditionally American sport picked up quickly, and in 1915, China placed second in the Greater Asia baseball tournament held in Shanghai. Several decades later, baseball was as popular as it would ever be. In 1959,teams from 30 regions came together in a national competition.

Founded in 2002, the China Baseball League (CBL) is China’s professional league for the sport, with seven teams around the country. The opportunity to capture a huge new market with China’s growing interest saw the US Major League Baseball (MLB) open its first China office in Beijing in 2007, which has since then developed the Chinese market and educated young athletes.An example is the youth baseball program Play Ball in major Chinese cities. In the same year, the CBL partnered with Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), agreeing to allow Japanese clubs to send coaches and players to China and Chinese players to train at Japanese facilities. This program helps Chinese schools integrate baseball into their physical education curriculum, build professional development centers. More and more Chinese youths are getting involved with the sport, taking baseball class on the weekends or after school. Many programs for children have been established and often hold classes at many baseball fields.

Through these different partnerships and co-operations, China has created opportunities for the citizens to experience another culture. China might just be the future of baseball. Through heavy investments since 2017, the CBL hopes to one day cultivate a Yao Ming of baseball, which would bring huge exposure to the sport.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

本文為記敘文。文章主要敘述了中國(guó)棒球的發(fā)展過(guò)程。并預(yù)測(cè)中國(guó)會(huì)有更多的棒球明星和棒球迷的出現(xiàn)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“The beginning of baseball in China traces back further than most would think, in 1863. From that time, Chinese universities soon began to stage baseball activities. The first game, as documents recorded, was held in Shanghai in 1905.... in 1915, China placed second in the Greater Asia baseball tournament held in Shanghai. .... In 1959,teams from 30 regions came together in a national competition.” 中國(guó)棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)的起源要追溯到1863年，遠(yuǎn)比大多數(shù)人想象的要早。從那時(shí)起，中國(guó)的大學(xué)很快就開始舉辦棒球活動(dòng)。據(jù)文獻(xiàn)記載，第一場(chǎng)比賽于1905年在上海舉行。.......1915年，中國(guó)在上海舉辦的大亞洲棒球錦標(biāo)賽中獲得第二名......。1959年，來(lái)自30個(gè)地區(qū)的隊(duì)伍參加了一場(chǎng)全國(guó)比賽。從以上的內(nèi)容可知本段主要敘述了中國(guó)有棒球的發(fā)展過(guò)程。分析選項(xiàng)可知B 項(xiàng)符合題意，故選B。

【2】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。文章中的事件是按時(shí)間順序安排的。根據(jù)全文中從第一段到最后一段中的“in 1863. ...1905. National interest in this traditionally American sport picked up quickly, and in 1915, ...In 1959,teams from 30 region... Founded in 2002,... in 2007,,... in 2007,”可知，本文是按時(shí)間順序展開的，故選A。

【3】猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第二段劃線詞capture所在句子內(nèi)容“the US Major League Baseball (MLB) open its first China office in Beijing in 2007, which has since then developed the Chinese market and educated young athletes. An example is the youth baseball program Play Ball! in major Chinese cities.” 2007年，美國(guó)職業(yè)棒球大聯(lián)盟(MLB)在北京開設(shè)了其在中國(guó)的第一個(gè)辦事處，開拓了中國(guó)市場(chǎng)，培養(yǎng)了年輕運(yùn)動(dòng)員。由此可知，中國(guó)棒球聯(lián)盟借此機(jī)會(huì)抓住了中國(guó)對(duì)棒球日益增長(zhǎng)的興趣，才開設(shè)了第一個(gè)辦事處，開拓了中國(guó)市場(chǎng)。由此可知，“capture”的意思為“抓住”。分析選項(xiàng)可知，可知A. lose失去； B. found發(fā)現(xiàn)；C. seize.抓��；D. control控制�？芍�C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。.

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“China might just be the future of baseball. through heavy investments since 2017, the CBL hopes to one day cultivate a Yao Ming of baseball, which would bring huge exposure to the sport.” 中國(guó)可能就是棒球的未來(lái)。通過(guò)2007年的巨額投資，CBL希望有一天能培養(yǎng)出一個(gè)像姚明一樣的棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，這將為這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)帶來(lái)巨大的商機(jī)。由此可推斷出，在中國(guó)未來(lái)會(huì)涌現(xiàn)出像姚明似的棒球天才和更多的棒球迷。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意，故選D。

在閱讀中我們經(jīng)常會(huì)考查猜測(cè)詞義題。事實(shí)上，閱讀材料中的每個(gè)詞與它前后的詞語(yǔ)或句子甚至段落都有聯(lián)系。運(yùn)用邏輯推理猜測(cè)詞義是使用最廣考查最多也最易失分的猜詞方式，這要求考生具備整合分散、復(fù)雜信息的能力，充分利用上下文（各種已知信息）并結(jié)合具體的語(yǔ)境推測(cè)、判斷某些詞或短語(yǔ)的詞義。例如第3小題詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段劃線詞“capture”的內(nèi)容“the US Major League Baseball (MLB) open its first China office inBeijing in 2007, which has since then developed the Chinese market and educated young athletes.An example is the youth baseball program Play Ball! in major Chinese cities.” 2007年，美國(guó)職業(yè)棒球大聯(lián)盟(MLB)在北京開設(shè)了其在中國(guó)的第一個(gè)辦事處，開拓了中國(guó)市場(chǎng)，培養(yǎng)了年輕運(yùn)動(dòng)員。由此可知，中國(guó)棒球聯(lián)盟借此機(jī)會(huì)抓住了中國(guó)對(duì)棒球日益增長(zhǎng)的興趣，才開設(shè)了第一個(gè)辦事處，開拓了中國(guó)市場(chǎng)。由此可知，“capture”的意思為“抓住”。分析選項(xiàng)可知，可知A. lose失去； B. found發(fā)現(xiàn)；C. seize.抓�。�D. control控制�？芍�C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。.
