解析：

(1)	籃球被數以百萬的人所喜愛。若要說“數以百萬的人打籃球”則用動詞play，而不是用use或join。
(2)	由于籃球被眾多的人所喜愛，所以是“至少”100個國家，而不是用具有貶義色彩的“至多”at most。
(3)	根據前面的內容，應該是說籃球是一項最“廣為人知”(即best-known)的運動。
(4)	father在這里作“創(chuàng)始人”講。
(5)	由后面的提示可知。
(6)	be worried about…擔心……，為……著急。
(7)	后文說他們覺得該校因沒有一項好的冬季運動項目而人們不愿意來，故出席率低。
(10)	sports programme表示運動項目。
(11)	想出(come up with)一種新的戶內游戲。match作“比賽”時等于game，但它沒有“游戲”的意思。
(12)	創(chuàng)造一種新的體育游戲的目的是為了改善該校冬季觀眾出席率低的問題。所以Naismith從所有受歡迎的運動中去尋找共同點。
(13)	受歡迎的運動都有球，所以他的新運動必須也有球。
(14)	對于戶內運動來說，踢球和擊球都過于粗魯。
(15)	由第二段的末句可知。
(16)	籃球得分要靠“投擲(throw)”。
(17)	根據句意“十三條規(guī)則中有十二項至今仍在被使用”，其他選項都不可能。
(18)	其他各項都不合情理。
(19)	職業(yè)籃球隊“產生”、“組建”、“形成”。
(20)	上文是談籃球這項運動產生的由來。
