36、 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 encour

37、ages 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

38、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 wasnt hockey. Hockey and the Internat

39、ional 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. T

40、he 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

41、 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

42、 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. 82 According

43、to the author, recent Olympic Games have _ （ A） created goodwill between the nations （ B） bred only false national pride （ C） barely showed any international friendship （ D） led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred 83 What did the manager mean by saying “. Hockey and the International Hockey

44、 Federation are finished“? （ 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. 84 The basketball examp

45、le implies that _ （ A） too much patriotism was displayed in the incident （ B） the announcement to prolong the match was wrong （ C） the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision （ D） the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals 85 The author gives the two examples in Paragraph

46、s 2 and 3 to show _ （ A） how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games （ B） that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be （ C） that competitiveness in the games discourages the international friendship （ D） that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Game

47、s 86 What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? （ A） The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved. （ B） Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games. （ C） Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game. （ D） International contests are liable fo

48、r misunderstanding between nations. 86 The natural environment has, of course, always conditioned technology. For example, the nature of an environment (polar, desert, jungle) engenders the development of technologies appropriate to that environment to enable man to adapt successfully to it. Farther

49、, emerging scarcity of some technological resource may ignite a research for, and gradual transition to, a new technology using resources present in the environment in greater abundance, as, for example, in the case of the gradual change from wood-based to coal-based technology in England that began in Elizabeth times and stretched until the end of the eighteenth cent
