Question

阅读理解： 　　Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that if country 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 view that sport encourages international brotherhood．Not only was there the terrible incident with the number of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests． 　　One country received its second-place medal with great anger after the hockey(曲棍球)final．There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser objecting to the final decision．They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side’s victory was unfair．Their manager was angry when he said, “This wasn’t hockey．Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished．” The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years． 　　The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest．The game had ended in quarrel．It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single 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 beat it into the basket．It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match．The judges discusses the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand．The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals． 　　Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honor or money rather than for the love of the game．The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individual(个人)，or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for．But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism． (1) According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________． [　　] A． brought about good will between the nations B． made only false national pride C． hardly showed any international friendship D． led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred (2) What did the manager mean by saying, “…Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished．”? [　　] A． His team would no longer take part in international games B． Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decision C． There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society D． The society should be dismissed (3) The author gave the two examples in paragraph 2 and 3 to show ________． [　　] A． how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international games B． that sportsmen have been more troublesome than they used to be C． that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship D． that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games (4) What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? [　　] A． The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved B． Athletes should compete as individual in the Olympic Games C． Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game D． International contests lead to misunderstanding between nations

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．C;4．A;
解析：

(1)	此题考察作者的观点。从第一段第四行in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood．可以看出：近几年的奥运会比赛几乎很少能支持体育比赛能促进国际间友情的观点。
(2)	注意此句在第二段中的背景：in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood．败方教练认为裁判不公平，才发此牢骚。
(3)	在第四段首句对第二，三段中的两个事例作了总结：Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honor or money rather than for the love of the game．仅仅为了荣誉或金钱而不是出于比赛中的友爱而过度竞争才常常导致这些不愉快的事件发生。这种竞争不利于国际间的友谊。
(4)	此题考察对全文的总结。根据最后一段最后一句可以得出结论：奥运会组织工作急需改进
