10.For the rest of March,a disease will sweep across the US.It will keep kids home from school.(36)D.Employees will suddenly lose their ability to focus on their work.
The disease,known as"March Madness",refers to the yearly US men's college basketball tournament (锦标赛).(37)F.Teams compete(竞赛)against each other in the tournament and only one team will be the final winner.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves mad for the tournament.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game.Friends compete against friends.(38)A.Colleagues against bosses.
Famous schools are usually expected to win,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.Two years ago,the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams.(39)G
College basketball players are not paid,so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.(40)CAbout﹩4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event.According to Media Life magazine,the event will bring in﹩500 million in advertising(广告)income this year,topping the post-season income of every US professional league,including that of the NBA.

A.Husbands against wives.
B.The players will go all out for the games.
C.But that doesn't mean money isn't involved.
D.College students will ignore piles of homework.
E.People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F.It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G.Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.

分析 本文主要介绍了"三月疯狂"(即美国大学篮球繁忙冠军赛季)席卷美国,这个浪潮给不同人群带来了不同的影响,它使小孩子待在家里而不是学校,使员工突然失去他们的注意力."三月疯狂"的乐趣在于猜每场比赛的获胜者,这个比赛更多为大学篮球运动员的大学和他们的名声考虑.

解答 36.D.考查文章的结构和上下文的逻辑关系.该段简要讲述是: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.故选D.
37.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.故选F.
38.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.故选A.
39.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 littleknown",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.故选G.
40.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.故选C.

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.

20.This Monday,the nation will start to celebrate Presidents'Day,just seven days before George Washington's birthday.Everyone agrees that day is a holiday,but is it just to celebrate George Washington's Birthday?What about Abraham Lincoln?Some government offices call it Presidents'Day.Others say the holiday is officially Washington's Birthday.Confused yet?
George Washington was elected the country's first President on April 30,1789.Soon after,Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday.Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington's birth is February 11,1732.But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates,making Washington's birthday February 22,which is now well accepted.In 1879.Congress made Washington's birthday an official federal holiday.It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual's birthday.In 1968,Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act,which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February.The new law did not change the holiday's name.It was still called Washington's Birthday,even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents'Day to include Abraham Lincoln,whose actual birthday is February 12.
Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents.They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves.Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington.the country's first President.They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.
Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term"George Washington's Birthday."but none of those laws have been passed.Meanwhile,many state governments and school districts now use the term"Presidents'Day."Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.
Should the holiday honor Washington,Washington and Lincoln,or all past Presidents?Write to emailbag@timeforkids.com and tell us what you think.
