Unlike most sports, which evolved over time from street games, basketball was designed by one man to suit a 【C1】______ purpose. The man was Dr. James Naismith, and his purpose wax 【C2】______ a vigorous game that could be played 【C3】______ in the winter.
In 1891, Naismith was an instructor at a training school, which trained 【C4】______ education instructors for the YMCAs. That year the school was trying 【C5】______ up with a physical activity that the men could enjoy 【C6】______ the football and baseball seasons. None of the standard indoor activities 【C7】______ their interest for long. Naismith was asked to solve the problem for the school. He first tried to 【C8】______ some of the popular outdoor sports, but they were all too 【C9】______ . The men were getting bruised from tackling each other and 【C10】______ 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 【C11】______ no equipment, such as a bat or a racket to hit it. Next he decided 【C12】______ an elevated goal, so that scoring would depend on skill and accuracy rather than on 【C13】______ only. His goals were two peach baskets. 【C14】______ to ten-foot-high balconies al each end of the gym. The basic 【C15】______ of the game was to throw the ball into the basket. Naismitb wrote rules for the game, 【C16】______ of which, though with some small changes, are still 【C17】______ effect. Basketball was an immediate success. The students 【C18】______ it to their friends and the new sport quickly 【C19】______ on. Today, basketball is one of the most popular games 【C20】______ the world.
【C8】
选项
A、imitate
B、adopt
C、adapt
D、renovate
答案
C
解析
此题考查词义辨析。根据上下文判断,在这里Naismith一定是改良了一些室外运动使其能够在室内进行,adapt的词义则正是“改变…使适应”,因此C项无疑是最佳答案。
