Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2011·广东广雅中学高三期中考试)
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only were there the incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its secondplace medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, with the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, “This_isn't_hockey._Hockey_and_the_International_Hockey_Federation_are_finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time that the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver madals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in nonnational teams might be too much to hope for. But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义)．
最近几年的国际体育比赛违背了体育运动的真正意义，变成了各国之间的厮杀，运动员为了给国家争夺荣誉不惜损坏形象甚至反目成仇。
1．The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have ________.
A．showed little international friendship
B．greatly encouraged international brotherhood
C．created goodwill between the nations
D．created only misunderstanding and hatred
答案：A 作者态度题。根据文章第一段第三句中的“...but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood”可知答案。
2．What did the manager mean by saying “This isn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”？
A．This is not a standard hockey match.
B．The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.
C．His team would not enter the game in three years.
D．The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.
答案：D 句意猜测题。当时失败的一方无比愤怒，认为不公正的比赛损害了曲棍球运动及国际曲棍球联合会的名声，使有真正意义上的曲棍球运动及国际曲棍球联合会不复存在。
3．The basketball match showed that ________.
A．aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident
B．the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds
C．the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision
D．the American team should have taken the first place
答案：A 推理判断题。文章没有剖析美国和俄罗斯在篮球比赛中究竟谁是谁非，作者只是表明过分的爱国心会导致不愉快的事件发生。
4．The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that ________.
A．contests often end in disorder
B．no contests are fair in Olympic Games
C．competition discourages international friendship
D．unfair decisions are common in sports
答案：C 作者意图题。作者列举的两个事例意在表明第一段的观点“but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood”。其余选项过于绝对或者以偏概全。
5．Which statement best summarizes this passage?
A．Athletes should compete as individuals.
B．The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
C．Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.
D．Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.
答案：B 主旨大意题。最后一段是作者的观点，根据本段最后一句可知作者认为奥运会比赛的组织方式需要改进，以防过于狭隘的爱国心扭曲了奥运会的真正意义。
