推理判断题。根据Roma部分的In fact, the Academy released its shortlist for nine categories, including candidates for the best foreign language film. As is expected, Mexico’s critically praised Roma is among them.(事实上,美国电影艺术与科学学院公布了包括最佳外语片在内的9个奖项的候选名单。不出所料,墨西哥备受好评的Roma也在其中)可推知,有些人希望Roma能赢得奥斯卡奖。故C选项正确。
【点睛】细节事实理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要事实的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩,从阅读材料中可以找到。此外,在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决细节理解题。定位法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位),然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换),从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文,并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落,然后进行分析和推理等,从而找出正确答案。
以本文第1小题为例,本题运用定位法:我们根据题干Which film focuses on the theme of music?其关键词是the theme of music,从而直接定位到含有music的文段——Bohemian Rhapsody部分的While the film has not received high marks from critics, music lovers around the world seem pleased. The film made $ 600 million in its first five weeks, making it the most successful music biographical film ever.(虽然这部电影没有得到评论家的好评,但全世界的音乐爱好者似乎都很高兴。这部电影在上映五周内就赚了6亿美元,成为有史以来最成功的音乐传记电影)可知,Bohemian Rhapsody是一部以音乐为主题的电影。故C选项正确。

The woman didn’t like us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter. As new female teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, some of us stopped trying to befriend her.
Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret pal. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret pal was.
I bought her a small rose arrangement and asked someone to write a message on it and then sent it to her room. She was so touched. Next day I sent a bottle of shampoo but I wrote the message in English because she needed to know her secret pal was a Westerner before the day of the “big reveal”. I also sent her a fragrant candle.
I had brought a few gifts from Ireland when I returned to the Middle East in September. I decided to gift her a silver coloured bangle.
Then came the day of the “big reveal”. We all gathered in the staff meeting room and everyone was excited. The host said, “Several days ago, when you received your gift, you wrote a few kind words about your secret pal and passed the gift to them.” She taught music in the school so I said, “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day of the week.” I didn’t even need to say her name because everyone knew exactly who I meant.
She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and graciously accepted my gifts. I think everyone’s understanding of things is subjective, so we should have more communication with people around us.
4. How did the woman respond to the Westerners greetings?
A. She blamed them. B. She kept away from seeing their eyes.
C. She treated them kindly. D. She avoided meeting them again.
5. What was the author supposed to do after knowing the name of her secret friend?
A. Prepare a gift for her. B. Write a speech about her.
C. Find out who it is. D. Chat with her.
6. Why did the author write the message in English in paragraph 3?
A. To show other teachers her identity.
B. To teach the woman some English.
C. To let the woman know her nationality.
D. To make other teachers better understand her intention.
7. What was the woman’s attitude towards the author at last?
A. Friendly. B. Doubtful.
C. Regretful. D. Forgiving.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
本文为记叙文。作为阿联酋学校新来的女教师,我们西方人每天都和她打招呼。我们每次见到她,她都避免与我们目光接触。最终,我们中的一些人不再试图和她交朋友。16个月之后,我们有一个“送礼物的秘密朋友”的活动。我从玻璃瓶里抽到她的名字,意思是她是我的秘密朋友。我给她买了一个小玫瑰花束,请人在上面留言,然后把它送到她的房间。她很感动。第二天,我送了一瓶洗发水,但我用英语写了这条信息,因为她需要在“大揭秘”之前知道她的秘密朋友是西方人。我还送给她一支香喷喷的蜡烛。最后,她接受了我,很有礼貌地当面接受了我的礼物。我认为每个人对事物的理解都是主观的,所以我们应该多和身边的人交流。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的As new female teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us.(作为阿联酋学校新来的女教师,我们西方人每天都和她打招呼。我们每次见到她,她都避免与我们目光接触)可知,当西方人跟她打招呼时,她总是避免与人们目光接触。故B选项正确。

A new study explores the custom of tipping in the United States. Many Americans give tips to people who perform a job for them, especially workers in the service industry. They pay a little extra to people cutting their hair, driving them across town or serving them a meal at a restaurant.
The researchers found that men give bigger tips to restaurant workers than women. And people who live in the northern US are more generous with tips than those living in the South. People who earn $ 50, 000 or more a year give bigger tips than those who earn less than $50, 000. There is one likely reason: the wealthier Americans have more money to spend.
Michael Lynn is a professor of consumer behavior and marketing at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York. In other words, he knows a lot about the issue of tipping. In earlier surveys, Lynn said he found mixed results on the generosity of men and women when it comes to tipping. In some studies, men gave bigger tips than women. In others, women gave more money.
Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man. Tips are very important to service employees. People who work at restaurants often get most of their earnings from tips.
Nationwide, Americans generally tip between 15 to 20 percent at restaurants and leave from $2 to S 10 a day for the people who clean their hotel rooms. Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.
But here is something to keep in mind. If you are able to give the person serving you a tip or a bigger one than what is expected, your generosity will be welcome. Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.
8. What is paragraph I mainly about?
A. A study in a restaurant. B. A job offering a lot of tips.
C. The service industry in the US. D. The custom of tipping in the US.
9. What is Lynn’s finding in American restaurants?
A. People give more tips to the opposite sex server.
B. People are always more generous to service employers.
C. Men give the same tips to the women restaurant servers as women.
D. Men always give more tips to the men restaurant servers than women.
10. How much tips do Americans generally pay if the reading on the taximeter is $100?
A. $2. B. $10.
C. $15. D. $20.
11. What is the authors attitude towards tipping?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
本文为说明文。许多美国人会给那些为他们工作的人小费,尤其是服务业的员工。一项新研究探讨了美国付小费的习俗。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段主要介绍了美国人给小费是一种习俗。故D选项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man.(林恩自己对美国餐馆的研究发现,当餐馆服务员是女性时,男性给的小费更多,而当服务员是男性时,女性给的小费更多)可知,林恩通过研究发现人们会给异性服务员更多的小费。故A选项正确。
【10题详解】
数字计算题。根据倒数第二段中的Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.(打车时给出租车司机15%的小费也很常见)可知,美国人通常在出租车计价器上的读数为100美元时,付给司机15美元的小费是正常的。故C选项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第一段中的Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.(许多服务人员赚不了多少钱,甚至一两美元也能改变他们的生活)可推知,作者支持给小费这种习俗。故D选项正确。
D
People often feel anonymous (匿名) on the Internet. They believe their browsing behaviors and what they buy or write can be private as they want. In fact, that’s far from true, a new study finds.
Websites usually offer a statement that describes what they may or may not do with data about a user’s activities. You might be attracted to read through that entire document. But be prepared for disappointment. These documents tend to list only a small part of the websites which are allowed to have access to your data. Therefore, it’s impossible for users to make informed judgments about how private their online activities are.
The new research explored the disclosure on data-sharing by 200, 000 websites. These included the Arkansas state government homepage and the Country Music site. The study analyzed how these sites shared data with third parties. Such recipients of your data could be advertisers or companies that make money by selling personal data. The study also examined how those sites had described their policy for protecting the data privacy.
Timothy Libert, who works at Oxford University, studies data privacy. For this analysis, he used a software tool called webXray. It tracked 1.8 million data shared by each of those websites with third-party data collectors. Only 14.8% of those data went to third parties that were named in the sites privacy policies.
Data that were transferred to widely familiar third parties—Google, Facebook and Twitter—were more likely to be leaked than those were transferred to unknown parties. Libert found that 38.3% of data sent to Google had been leaked.
Even if a website listed all of the third parties it shared your data with, users still might never learn how widely their data had been shared. Why? Third parties that receive data can later share those data again. Think of your data now being transmitted to anonymous fourth and fifth parties. Getting online is “sort of like throwing beans in the air,” Libert concludes. “There’s no way to know where your data end up.”
12. What aspect of the websites statements will disappoint people?
A. The length of the documents. B. The reliability of the information.
C. The readability of the contents. D. The accuracy of the language.
13. What does the underlined word “disclosure” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Reveal. B. Money.
C. Disappointment. D. Advertisement.
14. What did Libert find in his study?
A. More than a quarter of data-sharing went to unnamed third parties.
B. The data on the Internet is always kept secret by third parties.
C. Widely familiar third parties could collect users’ data more difficultly.
D. Widely familiar third parties were more likely to leak out users’ online data.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Famous websites are no longer safe
B. Private data can no longer be private
C. Data-sharing is becoming very unpopular
D. Large companies make money by selling personal data
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。人们在网上常常觉得自己是匿名的。他们相信他们的浏览行为和他们购买或写的东西可以是他们想要的隐私。事实上,一项新的研究发现,事实远非如此。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Websites usually offer a statement that describes what they may or may not do with data about a user’s activities.(网站通常会提供一份声明,说明他们可以或不可以处理用户活动的数据)及But be prepared for disappointment. These documents tend to list only a small part of the websites which are allowed to have access to your data.(但要做好失望的准备。这些文档往往只列出允许访问您的数据的一小部分网站)可推知,网站声明信息的可靠性会让人们失望。故B选项正确。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的data-sharing by 200, 000 websites(20万个网站数据共享)可知,划线词所在句句意为“这项新研究探索了20万个网站数据共享的披露情况。” A. Reveal披露;B. Money钱;C. Disappointment.失望;D. Advertisement广告。故A选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Data that were transferred to widely familiar third parties—Google, Facebook and Twitter—were more likely to be leaked than those were transferred to unknown parties.(被转移到广为人知的第三方——谷歌、面谱和推特——的数据比被转移到未知方的数据更容易被泄露)可知,广泛熟悉的第三方更有可能泄露用户的在线数据。故D选项正确。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文可知,人们在网上常常觉得自己是匿名的。他们相信他们的浏览行为和他们购买或写的东西可以是他们想要的隐私。事实上,一项新的研究发现,事实远非如此。因此,B项“私人数据不再是私有的”适合做本文最佳标题。故B选项正确。
【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义:运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境,从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系,理顺语言之间的逻辑关系,进而达到猜词的目的。在第2小题中,考生可以根据该划线词所在的上下文语境来推测其指代对象。根据划线词后的data-sharing by 200, 000 websites(20万个网站数据共享)可知,划线词所在句句意为“这项新研究探索了20万个网站数据共享的披露情况。” A. Reveal披露;B. Money钱;C. Disappointment.失望;D. Advertisement广告。故A选项正确。
第二节(共5小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

Basketball is a great sport that is not only fun, but also brings children many benefits in different ways. ___16___.
Playing basketball has physical benefits. Children are full of energy—they need to move, jump and run constantly. Basketball will allow them to control that energy in a positive way. It’s a full-body sport. ___17___ Since it’s a fast and dynamic sport, children need to follow the game and the continuous movement of the ball. The ball moves quickly from one side of the court to the other and the kids move at the same pace which helps improve both resistance and speed.
Playing basketball has cognitive (认知的) benefits. Children who practice playing basketball develop skills that help them fight against opponents and move around the court. This sport helps them increase their ability to concentrate. ___18___ Children will learn to assess surrounding situations and problems that may arise, and then find the best and fastest solution. The fast pace of the game encourages quick decision-making and stimulates their concrete and abstract thinking.
___19___ Since it’s a team sport, basketball promotes sociability, coexistence and respect among peers. It’s ideal for shy children because they will have to learn to interact with other players. This is important both to get better at the sport and to have more fun. They will also learn important values like cooperation, teamwork and competitiveness.
___20___ In fact, there are many other benefits. The most important thing is that it’s a very fast and fun sport. This tends to make the vast majority of children enjoy it.
A. Playing basketball just has entertaining benefits.
B Playing basketball has social and emotional advantages.
C. These are not all of the advantages of playing basketball.
D. This means that it strengthens muscles in their whole body.
E. It also makes them more aware of the environment around them.
F. This sport promotes healthy development in children for a number of reasons.

【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断,虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解,但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个,比四个选项中选一个,感觉干扰性更大,很大同学在做这个题目时,总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉,致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们,首先要克服心理障碍,同时要注意方式方法。其次,注意设空前后的句子,因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的,所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境。例如第1小题,根据上文Basketball is a great sport that is not only fun, but also brings children many benefits in different ways.(篮球是一项极好的运动,不仅有趣,而且以不同的方式给孩子们带来很多好处)可知,F项“由于许多原因,这项运动促进儿童的健康发展”符合此处语境。原文brings children many benefits与F项中的promotes healthy development in children相对应。故F选项正确。

The woman didn’t like us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter. As new female teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, some of us stopped trying to befriend her.
Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret pal. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret pal was.
I bought her a small rose arrangement and asked someone to write a message on it and then sent it to her room. She was so touched. Next day I sent a bottle of shampoo but I wrote the message in English because she needed to know her secret pal was a Westerner before the day of the “big reveal”. I also sent her a fragrant candle.
I had brought a few gifts from Ireland when I returned to the Middle East in September. I decided to gift her a silver coloured bangle.
Then came the day of the “big reveal”. We all gathered in the staff meeting room and everyone was excited. The host said, “Several days ago, when you received your gift, you wrote a few kind words about your secret pal and passed the gift to them.” She taught music in the school so I said, “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day of the week.” I didn’t even need to say her name because everyone knew exactly who I meant.
She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and graciously accepted my gifts. I think everyone’s understanding of things is subjective, so we should have more communication with people around us.
4. How did the woman respond to the Westerners greetings?
A. She blamed them. B. She kept away from seeing their eyes.
C. She treated them kindly. D. She avoided meeting them again.
5. What was the author supposed to do after knowing the name of her secret friend?
A. Prepare a gift for her. B. Write a speech about her.
C. Find out who it is. D. Chat with her.
6. Why did the author write the message in English in paragraph 3?
A. To show other teachers her identity.
B. To teach the woman some English.
C. To let the woman know her nationality.
D. To make other teachers better understand her intention.
7. What was the woman’s attitude towards the author at last?
A. Friendly. B. Doubtful.
C. Regretful. D. Forgiving.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】

A new study explores the custom of tipping in the United States. Many Americans give tips to people who perform a job for them, especially workers in the service industry. They pay a little extra to people cutting their hair, driving them across town or serving them a meal at a restaurant.
The researchers found that men give bigger tips to restaurant workers than women. And people who live in the northern US are more generous with tips than those living in the South. People who earn $ 50, 000 or more a year give bigger tips than those who earn less than $50, 000. There is one likely reason: the wealthier Americans have more money to spend.
Michael Lynn is a professor of consumer behavior and marketing at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York. In other words, he knows a lot about the issue of tipping. In earlier surveys, Lynn said he found mixed results on the generosity of men and women when it comes to tipping. In some studies, men gave bigger tips than women. In others, women gave more money.
Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man. Tips are very important to service employees. People who work at restaurants often get most of their earnings from tips.
Nationwide, Americans generally tip between 15 to 20 percent at restaurants and leave from $2 to S 10 a day for the people who clean their hotel rooms. Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.
But here is something to keep in mind. If you are able to give the person serving you a tip or a bigger one than what is expected, your generosity will be welcome. Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.
8. What is paragraph I mainly about?
A. A study in a restaurant. B. A job offering a lot of tips.
C. The service industry in the US. D. The custom of tipping in the US.
9. What is Lynn’s finding in American restaurants?
A. People give more tips to the opposite sex server.
B. People are always more generous to service employers.
C. Men give the same tips to the women restaurant servers as women.
D. Men always give more tips to the men restaurant servers than women.
10. How much tips do Americans generally pay if the reading on the taximeter is $100?
A. $2. B. $10.
C. $15. D. $20.
11. What is the authors attitude towards tipping?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
本文为说明文。许多美国人会给那些为他们工作的人小费,尤其是服务业的员工。一项新研究探讨了美国付小费的习俗。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段主要介绍了美国人给小费是一种习俗。故D选项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man.(林恩自己对美国餐馆的研究发现,当餐馆服务员是女性时,男性给的小费更多,而当服务员是男性时,女性给的小费更多)可知,林恩通过研究发现人们会给异性服务员更多的小费。故A选项正确。
【10题详解】
数字计算题。根据倒数第二段中的Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.(打车时给出租车司机15%的小费也很常见)可知,美国人通常在出租车计价器上的读数为100美元时,付给司机15美元的小费是正常的。故C选项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第一段中的Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.(许多服务人员赚不了多少钱,甚至一两美元也能改变他们的生活)可推知,作者支持给小费这种习俗。故D选项正确。

People often feel anonymous (匿名) on the Internet. They believe their browsing behaviors and what they buy or write can be private as they want. In fact, that’s far from true, a new study finds.
Websites usually offer a statement that describes what they may or may not do with data about a user’s activities. You might be attracted to read through that entire document. But be prepared for disappointment. These documents tend to list only a small part of the websites which are allowed to have access to your data. Therefore, it’s impossible for users to make informed judgments about how private their online activities are.
The new research explored the disclosure on data-sharing by 200, 000 websites. These included the Arkansas state government homepage and the Country Music site. The study analyzed how these sites shared data with third parties. Such recipients of your data could be advertisers or companies that make money by selling personal data. The study also examined how those sites had described their policy for protecting the data privacy.
Timothy Libert, who works at Oxford University, studies data privacy. For this analysis, he used a software tool called webXray. It tracked 1.8 million data shared by each of those websites with third-party data collectors. Only 14.8% of those data went to third parties that were named in the sites privacy policies.
Data that were transferred to widely familiar third parties—Google, Facebook and Twitter—were more likely to be leaked than those were transferred to unknown parties. Libert found that 38.3% of data sent to Google had been leaked.
Even if a website listed all of the third parties it shared your data with, users still might never learn how widely their data had been shared. Why? Third parties that receive data can later share those data again. Think of your data now being transmitted to anonymous fourth and fifth parties. Getting online is “sort of like throwing beans in the air,” Libert concludes. “There’s no way to know where your data end up.”
12. What aspect of the websites statements will disappoint people?
A. The length of the documents. B. The reliability of the information.
C. The readability of the contents. D. The accuracy of the language.
13. What does the underlined word “disclosure” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Reveal. B. Money.
C. Disappointment. D. Advertisement.
14. What did Libert find in his study?
A. More than a quarter of data-sharing went to unnamed third parties.
B. The data on the Internet is always kept secret by third parties.
C. Widely familiar third parties could collect users’ data more difficultly.
D. Widely familiar third parties were more likely to leak out users’ online data.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Famous websites are no longer safe
B. Private data can no longer be private
C. Data-sharing is becoming very unpopular
D. Large companies make money by selling personal data
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。人们在网上常常觉得自己是匿名的。他们相信他们的浏览行为和他们购买或写的东西可以是他们想要的隐私。事实上,一项新的研究发现,事实远非如此。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Websites usually offer a statement that describes what they may or may not do with data about a user’s activities.(网站通常会提供一份声明,说明他们可以或不可以处理用户活动的数据)及But be prepared for disappointment. These documents tend to list only a small part of the websites which are allowed to have access to your data.(但要做好失望的准备。这些文档往往只列出允许访问您的数据的一小部分网站)可推知,网站声明信息的可靠性会让人们失望。故B选项正确。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的data-sharing by 200, 000 websites(20万个网站数据共享)可知,划线词所在句句意为“这项新研究探索了20万个网站数据共享的披露情况。” A. Reveal披露;B. Money钱;C. Disappointment.失望;D. Advertisement广告。故A选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Data that were transferred to widely familiar third parties—Google, Facebook and Twitter—were more likely to be leaked than those were transferred to unknown parties.(被转移到广为人知的第三方——谷歌、面谱和推特——的数据比被转移到未知方的数据更容易被泄露)可知,广泛熟悉的第三方更有可能泄露用户的在线数据。故D选项正确。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文可知,人们在网上常常觉得自己是匿名的。他们相信他们的浏览行为和他们购买或写的东西可以是他们想要的隐私。事实上,一项新的研究发现,事实远非如此。因此,B项“私人数据不再是私有的”适合做本文最佳标题。故B选项正确。
【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义:运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境,从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系,理顺语言之间的逻辑关系,进而达到猜词的目的。在第2小题中,考生可以根据该划线词所在的上下文语境来推测其指代对象。根据划线词后的data-sharing by 200, 000 websites(20万个网站数据共享)可知,划线词所在句句意为“这项新研究探索了20万个网站数据共享的披露情况。” A.

Basketball is a great sport that is not only fun, but also brings children many benefits in different ways. ___16___.
Playing basketball has physical benefits. Children are full of energy—they need to move, jump and run constantly. Basketball will allow them to control that energy in a positive way. It’s a full-body sport. ___17___ Since it’s a fast and dynamic sport, children need to follow the game and the continuous movement of the ball. The ball moves quickly from one side of the court to the other and the kids move at the same pace which helps improve both resistance and speed.
Playing basketball has cognitive (认知的) benefits. Children who practice playing basketball develop skills that help them fight against opponents and move around the court. This sport helps them increase their ability to concentrate. ___18___ Children will learn to assess surrounding situations and problems that may arise, and then find the best and fastest solution. The fast pace of the game encourages quick decision-making and stimulates their concrete and abstract thinking.
___19___ Since it’s a team sport, basketball promotes sociability, coexistence and respect among peers. It’s ideal for shy children because they will have to learn to interact with other players. This is important both to get better at the sport and to have more fun. They will also learn important values like cooperation, teamwork and competitiveness.
___20___ In fact, there are many other benefits. The most important thing is that it’s a very fast and fun sport. This tends to make the vast majority of children enjoy it.
A. Playing basketball just has entertaining benefits.
B Playing basketball has social and emotional advantages.
C. These are not all of the advantages of playing basketball.
D. This means that it strengthens muscles in their whole body.
