Unlike most sports, which evolved over time from street games, basketball was designed by one man to suit a particular purpose. The man was Dr. James Naismith, and his purpose was to invent a vigorous game that could be played indoors in the winter.
In 1891, Naismith was an instructor at a training school, which trained physical education instructors for the YMCAs, That year the school was trying【C1】______up with a physical activity that the men could enjoy【C2】______the football and baseball seasons. None of the standard indoor activities【C3】______their interest for long. Naismith was asked to solve the problem by the school.
He first tried to【C4】______some of the popular outdoor sports, but they were all too rough. The men were getting bruised from tackling each other and【C5】______hit with equipment. So, Naismith decided to invent a game that would incorporate the most common elements of outdoor team sports without having the real physical contact. Most popular sports used a ball. So he chose a soccer ball because it was soft and large enough that it【C6】______no equipment, such as a bat or a racket to hit it. Next he decided【C7】______an elevated goal, so that scoring would depend on skill and accuracy rather than on【C8】______only. His goals were two peach baskets,【C9】______to ten-foot-high balconies at each end of the gym. The basic【C10】______of the game was to throw the ball into the basket. Naismith wrote rules for the game,【C11】______of which, though with some small changes, are still【C12】______effect.
Basketball was an immediate success. The students【C13】______it to their friends, and the new sport quickly【C14】______on. Today, basketball is one of the most popular games【C15】______the world."
【C8】
选项
A、power
B、strength
C、force
D、might
答案
B
解析
该空所在句与上文(即第3段第1、2句话)存在逻辑上的对照(相反)关系。联系常识,篮球更多的依赖技巧和准确度,而不仅是体能。strength更侧重指人或动物所拥有的力气、体力。因此,答案为B。
