问题                         McGrady’ s Wonderful Art
     (1)McGrady is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Qingdao Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association. He previously played for the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, and Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association(NBA).
     (2)When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it—in the middle of a game. "It’ s hard for me, because I’ m a fan of basketball, " Houston point guard Rafer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGrady’s 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he’ s shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I’ m standing there watching and, all of a sudden, the other team’ s getting the ball and going on a fast break, and I’ m getting yelled at by the coach. " Indeed, McGrady’ s body control , his energy, his shooting—watching these are like watching an artist at work. blending colors, constructing sentences, or playing music.
     (3)Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn ’ t always been on the job. Already this season, he ’ s missed seven games with back spasms. After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, relumed three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can’t seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.
     (4)" Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball, " forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. " From a fan’ s perspective—and we’ re fans even though we’ re players—it’ s really fun to watch him do that. From a player’ s perspective, his game can affect the entire team. No question. We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody.
     (5)But it won’t, really. Houston has just begun an important stretch on their schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston—and without Yao. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double—team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady’ s teammates will need to create a little art of their own.
A. Players Houston Can’ t Do Without McGrady
B. Wonderful Performance on the Court
C. Evaluation from Two Different Perspectives
D. Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own Skills
E. Who is McGrady
F. Yao Ming’ s Performance
Paragraph(5):

选项

答案D

解析 最后一段提到“McGrady’s teammates will need to create a little art of their own.”可知麦迪的队友不应该只是指望麦迪个人的突出表现,毕竟他们将面临更多强队的挑战。从“teammates”这一关键词可得出此题答案为A。再由“create a little art of their own”提高自己的技能与选项A“Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own Skills”也属于同义表达,所以可得出答案为A。
