Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will I can to live together, Others say that the opposite is true: the international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some troth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also mined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, 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 wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would n’ t yield the first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. 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 player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury 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 medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for file love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, 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 aggressive patriotism.
The basketball example implies that ______
选项
A、too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B、the announcement to prolong the match was wrong
C、the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D、the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals
答案
A
解析
文章一开头,作者就叙述了人们对国际比赛的看法,说明国际体育比赛助长了虚伪的民族荣誉感,并导致误解和仇恨。然后作者又在第二段和第三段中分别以一场曲棍球比赛和一场篮球赛为例,证明自己的观点。最后文章又在结尾处总结了以上两例比赛争执的根源:“But in the present organization of the Olympics there is fart too much that encourages aggressive patriotism”,故A 为正确答案。而B ,C 和D 并非作者的见解。
