46、 ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoors 答案：C 解析本題是細節(jié)題，根據(jù)文章第二段，基督教青年會培訓(xùn)學(xué)校擔(dān)心在冬天來上課的人少，因為學(xué)校在冬天沒有一個很好的運動項目，所以他們讓Naismith幫忙，想出來一個新的室內(nèi)運動籃球。 33. First basketball teams were formed _.A. around 1898B. in 1891C. at the time when YMCA was establishedD. when Naismith came to the YMCA training school

47、答案：A 解析本題是細節(jié)題，文章的第一段最后一句話It all began in 1891.籃球起始于1891年。而文章的最后一句話：Just seven years after the game began , professional basketball teams were formed. 這項運動開始7年后，職業(yè)籃球隊才形成。因此可判斷第一個籃球隊大約是在1898年成立的。所以選A。 34.
