Sports Star Yao Ming
If Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world, he is almost certainly the tallest. At 2.26m, he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association(NBA)and holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to compete in the Games.
But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity(名气). Few, if any, Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao around the world. People across the globe are fascinated with Yao, not only for his basketball prowess(杰出的才能),but also for being a symbol of international commerce.
When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No. 1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft(选拔), he was the first international player ever to be selected first. His assets on the court are clear enough— no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is a handful(难对付的人)for opponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge to millions of potential basketball fans in China.
When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture(骨折)in his left foot, a collective shudder(震动)spread across China. After considerable debate and discussion, Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in an operation that placed several tiny screws across the bone, to offer his overburdened foot more support. The surgery was a success, and though the estimated four-month recovery period will leave him little time to prepare with Team China, Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.
Yao wrapped up a 10-day trip to China, where he underwent a series of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatments, hoping to accelerate his recovery process. Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM’ s benefits, although new research from the University of Rochester suggests that a certain compound derived from shellfish may indeed stimulate bone repair.
"There is no reason to dismiss TCM," Yao told a press conference in Beijing. "It’ s been used in our country for thousands of years. I don’ t think that it’ s short on science. "
Opponents find it very difficult to control Yao Ming because of his______.
选项
A、assault
B、mobility
C、defense
D、celebrity
答案
B
解析
第三段第二句讲到His assets on the court are clear enough—no NBA player of his sizehas ever possessed his mobility,so he is a handful(难对付的人)for opponents on either endof the court,即姚明在场上的优势很明显,没有哪个和他一样身高的NBA球星有这样的移动性,所以才会让对手觉得很难对付,故选B。
