Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76)
He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education.
In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.
Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native A-merican children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77)
The team paid him only $15 a week.
Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员)in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.
In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.
People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, " Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world. " Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King. " [br] The word decathlon in Paragraph 3 probably means________.
选项
A、jumping
B、five track and field events
C、throwing
D、ten track and field events
答案
D
解析
细节题。题干问的是“第三段中的decathlon一词是什么意思?”根据定位句“十项全能则包括跑步、跳高和投掷在内的十个田径竞赛项目”,表明这是一个包括十个项目的运动。同时要注意前缀deca一本身有“十个”的意思。A项“跳高”和C项“投掷”均为十项全能内的比赛项目,不完整;B项是“五项全能”。故选D。
