Others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments. ____1____ Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national competitions. One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation (愤慨) after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser's objection to the final decisions. ____2____ Their manager was very angry and 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 the suspension (停赛) of the team for at least three years. ____3____ 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 popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. ____4____ The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals. ____5____ 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 Olympic there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义). (370) A. It is believed that athletes come to the Olympic Games to compete for their countries. B. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. C. An appeal jury discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. D. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. E. So judges were probably the result of the conflicts between the teams from different countries in Olympic ball games. F. But in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. G. The American basketball team announced that they would not give up first place of Russia, after a disputable end to their competition. Key: 1. F 2. D. 3. G 4. C 5. B (责任编辑：admin) |
