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. [br] What did the manager mean by saying "... Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished"?
选项
A、His team would no longer take part in international games.
B、Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.
C、There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D、The Federation should be dissolved.
答案
B
解析
根据第二段的例子,我们可以看出,在比赛中获得亚军的球队,表现出愤懑之情,拒绝接受最后的结果。他们认为他们的一次进球应算有效,对手的胜利是不公正的,这种不公正会毁坏国际曲棍球协会的声誉,会把曲棍球运动毁掉,所以B 为正确答案。而A ,C 和D 却难从上下文中推理出来。
