The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the three major Chinese traditional festivals, along with Spring Festival and the Moon Festival. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period. As the term suggests, dragon-boat is a boat caved like a dragon. The origin of the dragon-boat race is related to Quyuan, a senior official of Chu in the period of the Warring States. He hated the crafty sycophants in the important positions. At last, he was squeezed out by them and exiled. He threw himself into a river on the fifth of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC. The local people organized spontaneously to rescue him by rowing boat. However, the rescue ended in vain. This common practice developed into the dragon-boat sports to memorize Quyuan.
The dragon-boat race has become a custom since Tang Dynasty. To win the race, the following must be concerned about:
1. High quality wood. Heavy wood will affect the speed, so it is usually made of light wood.
2. Players with energy, endurance and rowing skills. The method to choose excellent oarsmen is interesting. Two contestants sit in the same boat back to back. They both row to the directions they are facing, and the one whose direction the boat moves to is the winner. He will be chosen as the player.
3. Excellent dispatch. Since there are scores or even a hundred oarsmen on a boat, they can not win the game until they are in the same step. A strong man beat a drum in the center of the boat, and the oarsmen unity the rhythm accordingly, which helps them to be in step to win the game.
Last but not least, an excellent coxswain is very important. The boat moves forward like a lightning once it sets off. It is not easy to adjust if it moves off the right direction.
Nowadays, dragon-boat race has been a world competitive game. The first world dragon boat championship was held in China in 1995. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races are held outside China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdansk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30. It is influencing the world with its special power.
Which of the following statements would the author be likely to agree?
选项
A、The heavier the wood is, the better the boat is.
B、The stronger players are more likely to be chosen in the dragon boat race.
C、Good oarsmen can drive the boat in perfect direction.
D、The final result of the race is dependant on three conditions.
答案
B
解析
根据文章第二段中第一点“High quality wood. Heavy wood will affect the speed, so it is usually, made of light wood.”可知,沉重的木材会影响速度,因此人们通常会用轻质术材制造龙舟,故A项错误。根据文章第二段中第二点可以看出,在挑选划桨于的时候是有讲究的,通常会选择力量大、有耐力以及有技巧性的选于参加比赛,力量大是挑选划桨手的一个重要条件,就此叮以推断出强壮的选手被选中的可能性更大一些。B项符合文意。根据第三段第二句“The boat moves forward like a lightning once it sets off. It is not east to adjust if it moves off the right direction.”可知,龙舟一旦出发,就会像闪电一样向前移动,如果偏离正确方向就不容易调整过来,可见好的划桨手也有可能使龙舟偏离正确方向,C项的说法不够客观;原文中提到木材、选手和调度是需要特别注意的,但是倒数第二段还提到好的领向员也是很重要的,故正确答案为B选项,所以取得比赛胜利取决于这四个条件,D项不够全面。
