　　训练(三十七)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　You may have heard that a young man named Abner Doubleday invented the game known as baseball in Cooperstown，New York，during the summer of 1839.Doubleday then went on to become a Civil War hero，while baseball became America’s beloved national pastime.Not only is that story untrue，it’s not even in the ballpark (place for baseball)．Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839，and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball.

　　In 1907，a special commission (委员会) created by the sporting goods merchant and former major league player A．J.Spalding used weak evidence—namely the claims of one man，mining engineer Abner Graves—to come up with the Doubleday origin story.Cooperstown businessmen and major league officials would rely on the myth’s lasting power in the 1930s，when they established the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the village.

　　As it turns out，the real history of baseball is a little more complicated than the Doubleday legend.References to games resembling (相似) baseball in the United States date back to the 18th century.Its most direct ancestors appear to be two English games：rounder a (a children’s game brought to New England by the earliest colonists) and cricket.By the time of the American Revolution，variations (演变) of such games were being played on schoolyards and college campuses across the country.They became even more popular in newly industrialized cities where men sought work in the mid­19th century.In September 1845，a group of New York City men founded the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club.One of them would make a new set of rules that would form the basis for modern baseball.

　　Cartwright’s changes made the game faster­paced and more challenging from older games like cricket.In 1846，the Knickerbockers：played the first official game of baseball against a team of cricket players，beginning a new，uniquely American tradition.

　　【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文，属于社会类短文阅读。现代棒球运动的起源说法不一。据有关专家考证：棒球运动起源于英国的板球(Cricket)和圆场球(Rounder)，美国人亚历山大·乔伊·卡特赖德(Alexander Joy Cartwright)为统一名称和打法，制定了有史以来第一套棒球竞赛规则。
