試題分析：文章介紹的是拼字比賽游戲的起源和規(guī)則。

【1】由后一句句意：但是它在美國非常流行，表轉(zhuǎn)折�？芍�，前一句應(yīng)為Not too many Chinese students know it。很多中國學(xué)生都不了解它。故選B

【2】第二段講的是拼字比賽的起源，1925年在華盛頓首次舉行。由前文意思可推斷出，后一句應(yīng)填比賽舉行的時間。故選C

【3】根據(jù)下文意思，如果你拼錯了，就會出局。可推斷出，前文應(yīng)是如果你拼的正確，就會繼續(xù)比賽。故選A

【4】根據(jù)前文意思，在地區(qū)比賽中獲勝是許多學(xué)生的夢想，就可以華盛頓參加決賽，最終的勝利者被稱為拼字比賽王，當然這就意味著勝利者付出了很多的努力。故選C.
