Don’t complain in the NBA
The NBA has a new rule this season. It’s called “zero tolerance”. NBA referees are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a referee’s call. A player who does can be given a technical foul (犯規(guī)). Two technical fouls, and the player is out of the game.
The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it. They think it’s only natural to get angry during a close, hard-fought game if a call goes against you.
But I like the “zero tolerance” rule and wish other sports would follow the NBA’s example. Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if football, soccer and tennis players stopped arguing the calls and just played the game?
The biggest reason I like the new rule is that it sets a good example to younger players. When kids see stars such as Rasheed Wallace of the Detroit Pistons shouting at the referees and arguing every call, they think it’s part of the game. But shouting at referees and arguing calls should never be part of any kid’s games. Kids should be taught to forget about the referees’ calls and pay attention to improving their skills and play their best.
All players need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance. You can’t control what the other players or trainers do. And you certainly can’t control the calls the referees make.
Finally, everyone from NBA all-stars to 8-year-olds should remember that being a basketball referee is a hard job. The referee has to make dozens of sudden calls. No hesitation. No second chances. Not even the best referee gets every call right.
Maybe if the players, trainers and fans who shout at the referees had to wear a whistle and call a few games, there wouldn’t be as many complaints about the “zero tolerance” rule.

試題分析:文章介紹現(xiàn)在籃球的新規(guī)則“zero tolerance”,和球員以及作者對于這個規(guī)則的看法。
小題1:句意轉(zhuǎn)化題:從第一段的句子:NBA referees are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a referee’s call. 該題使用了“同義不同法”表達。Let sb do等于be allowed/permitted to do sth.填allowed / permitted
小題2:句意轉(zhuǎn)化題:從第一段的句子:Two technical fouls, and the player is out of the game. 對裁判抱怨兩次以上,就會被罰下場,be out of the game="be" driven/put out of the court所以用driven / put / picked / let / ordered / kicked/called / forced / fouled合理。
小題3:原詞重現(xiàn):從第二段的句子:The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it.可知這是隊員的觀點:players’
小題4:詞性轉(zhuǎn)化題:從第二段的句子:The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it.可知主動變成被動:changed
小題5:詞性轉(zhuǎn)化題:從第二段的句子:They think it’s only natural to get angry during a close, hard-fought game if a call goes against you. 可知在there be 句型中的主語后要用分詞作后置定語,所以寫出going 為正確。Going
小題6:原詞重現(xiàn)題:從第三段的句子;Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if football, soccer and tennis players stopped arguing the calls and just played the game?此句為虛擬語氣。填st opped / quitted
小題7:詞性轉(zhuǎn)化題:從文章第四段的句子:The biggest reason I like the new rule is that it sets a good example to younger players. it sets a good example to younger players.如用助動詞強調(diào)就必須是: ―does set 用動詞原形:set
小題8:原詞重現(xiàn)題:從第四段的句子;Kids should be taught to forget about the referees’ calls and pay attention to improving their skills and play their best.可知孩子應(yīng)該被教育提高自己的技能, 填 improving
小題9:原詞重現(xiàn)題:從第五段的句子;All players need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance. You can’t control what the other players or trainers do. 說明球員只能學(xué)會控制自己的比賽,而無法控制其它---比如,別的球員、教練、尤其是裁判的執(zhí)法。填 performance
小題10:句意理解題:從第六段的句子;Finally, everyone from NBA all-stars to 8-year-olds should remember that being a basketball referee is a hard job.可知做裁判是不容易的(難的): difficult /hard
