问题     For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.【R1】________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).【R2】________Teams compete (竞赛) against each other in a single-elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
    Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.【R3】________ Colleagues against bosses.
    Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. 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.【R4】________
    College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves.【R5】________About $4 billion will be spent gambling 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.
【R4】
选项
答案G
解析 考查上下文语境。根据上文“Two years ago, the little— known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. ”可知，两年前，鲜为人知的乔治梅森大学是决赛四支球队之一，而G项 (在锦标赛之前，许多人甚至从未听说过这所大学) 最为符合语境。故选G。
