3．In the past ten years，America's National Basketball Association （NBA） has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players．
   When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992，the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball．This season，however，20 percent of NBA name lists will be filled by non-Americans．NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend．On a visit to Paris in October，Stern outlined his view for the future，which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010．
   The NBA is now planning to take China by storm．
"Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth，"said Stern．The strategy（戰(zhàn)略，策略） in China is television．"We've made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite．"The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China．The NBA，which is broadcast in more than 200 countries in 42 languages，will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai．The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil．
"It doesn't matter where the players come from，all the NBA teams now know that they have to find internationally，"said Terry Lyons，the NBA's vice-president of international public relations．"It has increased the level of competition here．"As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season，many people can earn the respect of their American peers．Others，such as the Houston Rockets'Chinese centre Yao Ming-number one draft pick in 2002-and the Detroit Pistons'18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic-number two overall in this year's draft-are icons（偶像）in-waiting．It is the last revolution-the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball．
28．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．．
A．European countries will host the 2004 NBA games
B．Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA
C．the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great
D．Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA
29．What does NBA intend to do in China now？C
A．NBA intends to overcome all the Chinese teams
B．NBA intends to help Chinese teams develop well
C．NBA intends to make China its"marketing center"
D．NBA intends to broadcast the NBA's live basket games in China
30．When the writer talked of"home soil"，he was referring toA．
A．the USA                       
B．native Americans 
C．the NBA training center                
D．farms in the States
31．Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage？B
A．The Non-American Basketball Players    
B．More Foreign Players to join the NBA   
C．NBA Is Making Big Progress
D．NBA Is Coming to China．

分析 NBA的球員組成將發(fā)生重大改變，外國球員將占相當?shù)谋壤琋BA需借助外籍球員的力量來維持其地位．

解答 28．C  推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段20 percent of NBA rosters will be filled by non-Americans，以及文章后半部分Terry說的話it has increased the level of competition here可判斷出外國球員將在NBA起到舉足輕重的作用．故選C．
29．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章中間Stern所說的話，及下一自然段The success of Chinese centre YaoMing has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China可判斷出NBA將把中國看作是一個重要的市場．選C．
30．A  詞義猜測題．從文章后半部The NBA knows that it needs a global market及It doesn't matter where the players come from可判斷出home soil指的是美國本土．故選A．
35．B 主旨大意題．tie在這兒被用來比喻外籍球員，意思是說NBA需借助外籍球員的力量來維持其地位．故選B．
