Jim Thorpe was an American Indian, born on May 28, 1888 in Oklahoma. When he had his education at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, his athletic coach considered him a splendid athlete and encouraged him to concentrate on sports. (26) From then on, Thorpe participated in almost every aspect of athletics. Whenever he competed in any event, he easily won first place.
In the years that followed, he took part in football games against such renowned teams as Harvard and West Point. Thorpe again and again brought his team to victory. In 1912 he was invited to compete in the Olympic Games in Stockholm. There he excelled in several track events and was presented with first place gold medals. He was the first athlete to capture first place awards in so many track events.
When Thorpe returned home from the Olympic Games, he was welcomed with parades and celebration. (27) The president called him the highest type of citizen. However, this was all short-lived because it was found out that at one time Thorpe had been a professional athlete. Since an athlete must be an amateur in order to participate in the Olympic Games, Thorpe did not qualify. (28)Therefore, all of his medals were taken away from him.
In later years, Thorpe played baseball and football professionally. His admirers often tried to have his medals returned to him, but in vain. Thorpe died a lonely man in California on May 28, 1953. Today, as always, many still believe Thorpe was the best athlete that ever lived.
26. Where was Thorpe’s athletic talent discovered?
27. How did American people receive Thorpe when he came back from Stockholm in 1912?
28. Why were Thorpe’s medals taken away from him?
选项
A、Because someone found out that Thorpe had been using drugs.
B、Because Thorpe had once been an amateur athlete.
C、Because Thorpe’s fame began to decline after the Olympic Games.
D、Because Thorpe had been a professional athlete at one time.
答案
D
解析
因果关系题。四个选项都是Because开头的,由此可以推测,本题提问的是关于某件事情发生的原因。文章指出,按照规则,参加奥林匹克运动会的运动员必须是业余选手,而Thorpe曾经是职业选手,这并不符合规定,所以他的奖牌被收回(this was all short-lived because it was found out that at one time Thorpe had been a professional athlete.Since an athlete must be an amateur in order to participate in the Olympic Games,Thorpe did not qualify.)。故正确答案为D。
