There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that the modem game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called "baseball". Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country -- "town ball", "rounders", or "one old cat". Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.
Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modem baseball. The game was played on a "diamond" infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.
Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?
选项
A、Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.
B、Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little from today’s game.
C、As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called "baseball".
D、The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century.
答案
C
解析
见文章第一段:尽管在1907年,一个特别委员会认定棒球是Abner Doubleday在1839年发明的,但历史学家们却对此持有不同看法。有案可查的是在 17世纪英国孩子打一种他们称之为“棒球”的游戏。美国人从大约1800年起玩一种棒球,而这种棒球有着不同的规则和名字,文章第二段第一句指出棒球第一套规则的出台是在1845年;因此选项A、B、D均不对,选项C正确。
