After a series of drug scandals, this was Major League Baseball’s chance to demonstrate its determination to crack down on the cheaters. The sports commissioner said the aim was to restore baseball fans’ confidence in the game, but the new penalties for players who test positive for drugs fall far short of those in other sports. A first time offence brings a ban of just ten days; only with a fifth positive test is that extended to twelve months.
    It is all in sharp contrast to many Olympic sports where any positive drug test triggers a two-year ban. The head of the baseball players’ union, Don Fehr, said the new regime of drug testing and penalties would work. He stressed that the aim was to end steroid abuse rather than to punish players.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1. If a baseball player is on his first positive test, what will happen to him?
2. What will the Olympic athletes who take positive drug test face?

选项 A、Never permitted to join in Olympic sports again.
B、Never permitted to join in the matches.
C、A one-year ban.
D、A two-year ban.

答案 D

解析 本题考查对细节的理解。根据录音“It is all in sharp contrast to many Olympic sports where any positive drug test triggers(引发)a two—year ban.”可知,奥林匹克运动会中关于服用兴奋剂的运动员的惩罚是两年禁赛。因此选项D为正确答案。
