选项 A、save
B、saving
C、saved
D、to save
答案A
解析 此题属于语意搭配题。save用作动词时表示"救援，拯救"等意；用作介词时表示"除了"，例如；He answered all the questions save one．此处的save作介词，与文中的the Super Bowl连用，意为：除了全美橄榄球超级杯赛，故选项save正确。其他选项为动词save的各种形式：saving现在分词，saved过去分词和to save不定式，均与句意和语法不符。全句可译为：全美大学生篮球锦标赛是电视节目中极精彩的一部分，与美国几乎所有体育赛事都不相上下，可能只逊色于一年一度的全美橄榄球超级杯赛。
