解答 ABDC
21.A 細節(jié)題.在介紹他的這部分Interestingly,his nickname originated off the court:he was named after his father,"Big Tiny".這個句子告訴我們他的綽號是以他父親命名的,和籃球沒有關(guān)系,故選A.
22.B 猜測詞意題.根據(jù)often doing the unexpected經(jīng)常做一些意想不到的事情,讓對手很惱火,故答案為B.
23.D 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game,playing in a relaxed way under pressure.可知,每場比賽中他都保持冷靜,為此出名,故選D.
24.C 主旨大意題.根據(jù)全文以及小標題"Tiny"、"Magic"可知,主要介紹這個運動員綽號的由來,故選C.
