24、：本文是一篇说明文。“疯狂三月”，即美国大学体育总会一级联赛男篮锦标赛，是美国最大的全国性体育赛事之一。因为大部分比赛在3月进行，俗称“疯狂三月”。1选D第一段讲述的是：这种浪潮给不同人群所带来的影响。空前一句提到：它使小孩们待在家里而不是学校。空后一句提到：员工会突然失去他们的注意力。由此可知，大学生们会忽略掉一大堆家庭作业。故选D。2选F第二段向读者简介“疯狂三月”的基本情况，F选项表示它从3月15日开始，持续到4月初结束。告诉人们“疯狂三月”的时间。故选F。3选A根据第三段可知，“疯狂三月”的乐趣在于猜每场比赛的获胜者。朋友与朋友争(谁是获胜者)。下属与老板争。故该空指丈夫与妻子争。4选G第五段承接第四段讲的是比赛中不乏出现黑马，且根据该空前一句中的“the littleknown”，可知该空指在比赛前很多人甚至从来没有听说过这所大学。故选G。5选C空前一句提到大学篮球运动员没有报酬，所以，这个比赛更多的是为他们的大学和他们自己的名声所考虑，而其后内容则告诉读者这个比赛所带来的经济效益。故此空需要表示转折且其内容应与“金钱”相关，C项表示“但这并不意味着与金钱无关”。符合语境。
