Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations. They think that if countries play games together they will learn to live together, and even in worse situations, that if they fight on the game court, they would not like to meet on battlefield. 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 was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. 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 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 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 the 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.
What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
选项
A、The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B、Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C、Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D、International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.
答案
A
解析
文章最后一段最后一句“但是,在现在的奥运会组织中,滋长进攻性爱国主义的东西太多了”,暗示了作者希望能去除奥运组织中那些滋长不适当爱国主义的东西,由此可知,答案为[A]。文末虽然也提到了[B]的内容,但作者又通过might be too much to hope for进行了否定,故[B]不符合题干要求。[C]与最后一段第一句中作者的意思相反;[D]在文中并未提到。
