Answer 1

分析 本文講述了籃球的產生歷史．100多年前的1891年，一所學校的男生因為天氣原因不能在室外玩而不高興，甚至不時地打架，游戲老師就請Dr Naismith 發(fā)明一種能在室內玩的游戲，經過幾天的冥思苦想，Dr Naismith 終于發(fā)明了一種球類游戲．這是在兩個隊之間玩的運球傳球的游戲，為了計分，必須要把球扔進墻上的籃子里．最初他想用箱子，但是由于沒找到合適大小的箱子，就找了一個菜籃代替，這就是這個游戲為什么叫籃球的原因．

解答 61．its；考查代詞，主語是a certain college，所以這里用形容詞性物主代詞its作定語修飾boy students．
62．was；考查時態(tài)，文章講的是籃球的產生歷史，要用過去時態(tài)．
63．unhappy；考查形容詞，根據上下文，意思應該是學生因為不能到室外玩而不高興，所以用否定形式unhappy．
64．that；考查關系代詞，這是一個定語從句，修飾前面的game．
65．to invent；考查動詞的用法，這是固定句型it is/was+形容詞+to do，所以空格處填to invent．
66．moving；考查動名詞，這里用動名詞moving和后面的passing并列作介詞with的賓語．
67．between；考查介詞，在兩者之間用between．
68．be thrown；考查被動語態(tài)，根據句意球與動詞throw之間是被動關系，所以要用被動語態(tài)．
69．boxes；考查名詞復數(shù)，籃球是兩個隊，所以有兩個籃子，用復數(shù)形式．
70．the；考查冠詞，這里用定冠詞the特指上文提到的籃球游戲．

點評 本題考查物主代詞和獨立主格結構，解答本題時要先分析句子結構，確定句子的各個部分在句中所做的成分，然后根據所掌握的基本知識選出相應的答案．
