Basketball was an immediate success. The students(18)______ it to their friends, and the new sport quickly(19)______ on. Today, basketball is one of the most popular games(20)______ the world.

B、adopt
C、adapt
D、renovate
答案
C

adapt表示“(调整以使)适应”,强调“改变或改造以适应新条件”,填入空格,表示“把一些已有的户外运动通过调整或改造以适应户内需要”。符合上下文语义,故选C。imitate“模仿”:adopt“采用”;renovate“翻新修理”。
