Question

February 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.
Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin's background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.
Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.
In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.
During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.
When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.
But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory. Knicks fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林發瘋）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.

解析試題分析：本文主要介紹了林書豪的籃球事業發展的過程，充滿了波折。
【小題1】D 推理題。根據During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history. 和When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract都說明在哈佛的經歷并沒有給他的籃球生涯帶來什么好處。ABC三項對他的籃球事業都是有好處的。故D符合文章要求。
【小題2】B 推理題。根據At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety.說明起初的時候他很興奮也充滿了希望，但是慢慢地他的希望就被焦慮所取代，他變得很失望，故該詞是指失望，故B正確。
【小題3】C 推理題。根據第三行he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. 說明他是第一個中國裔的NBA籃球隊員，故之前沒有這樣的隊員，故C正確。
【小題4】A 推斷題。根據本文內容可知林書豪的籃球事業充滿了波折，故A正確。
