题目内容

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The game is the culmination（高潮）to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7, 2016, following the 2015 regular season. The next game, Super Bowl LII, scheduled for February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.

The game was created as part of a merger(合并) agreement between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.

The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.

Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.

Many great basketball players had clever nicknames (绰号), usually describing the player’s overall style on the court (球场). Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.

“Tiny”

Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.

“Magic”

Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

“The Mailman”

Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time. He also won two Olympic gold medals, as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

“The Iceman”

George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in a relaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.

1.Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?

A. Nate Archibald’s B. Earvin Johnson’s.

C. Karl Malone’s. D. George Gervin’s.

2.The underlined word “chagrin” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.

C. show how to become an excellent basketball player

D. introduce some NBA players and their nicknames

Good morning，everyone，

It's great honor for me to speak here. My name's Li Xiaojun，born of a harmonious family. My father and mother are all high school teachers. Influenced by them，I read widely during my early age，but I've developed a great interest in arts and sports. I'm easy?going，get along well with my classmates.

It is this personality which helps me win over all my classmates' friendships，and also help me overcome many difficulties both in academic and personal life. Being admitted in your university has always been a beautiful dream for me. I dream constantly that I, along with mine classmates，will study happy with the help of the respectable professors；I dream that I will swim freely in the sea，enjoying the waves of knowledge.

I hope all my dream will come true in the near future.

Thank you.
