Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從方框中選出五個(gè)句子填入文中空缺處，使短文內(nèi)容完整正確。

Soccer is the world’s favorite sport. In America people call it football. It has around 3 billion fans — nearly half the world’s population! 【1】 That’s 4 percent of the world’s population!

【2】 Many people in old days played early forms of this modern game. Cu ju (蹴踘), a ball-kicking game in China, was reported as early as 2,500 B.C. Around the same time in Greece, people were also playing a similar ball game without using their hands.

But modern soccer didn’t become official (官方的) until 1863. An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a football association (聯(lián)盟). 【3】 From then on, other associations in countries were set up. They came together to make up the FIFA, which organizes the World Cup. Thirty-two national teams play in the World Cup every four years.

It’s not easy to tell what makes soccer so popular. 【4】 Soccer needs only two feet and a ball. This makes it a sport that developing countries can easily play. Some of the sport’s best players come from these poor nations.

【5】 The sport’s no-hands rule makes beautiful dance-like movements on the field. What’s more, this sport excites the heart. Teams might score only a few times each match, so matches can turn around suddenly.

No one knows which country will win at the next World Cup. But one thing is certain: The world will be watching.

【解析】這篇短文講述了足球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。它是世界上最受歡迎的運(yùn)動(dòng)，有很多來(lái)自不同國(guó)家和俱樂(lè)部的隊(duì)員參加每四年一次的世界杯。足球是歐洲和南美的古老運(yùn)動(dòng)，亞洲也有很多人喜歡，并且到歐洲的俱樂(lè)部參加比賽。

【1】D

句意：大約3億人玩這個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)。根據(jù)下文中的句子“That’s 4 percent of the world’s population!” 是世界人口的百分之四！前面一定會(huì)出現(xiàn)有關(guān)數(shù)字，介紹踢足球的人數(shù)，故答案為D。

【2】F

句意：很難說(shuō)足球的發(fā)源地在哪里。后面提到了在同一時(shí)期，中國(guó)和希臘都有類似足球的運(yùn)動(dòng)，很難說(shuō)哪個(gè)地方是足球的發(fā)源地，故答案為F。

【3】A

句意：他還寫(xiě)了這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的官方規(guī)則。結(jié)合上文中的句子“But modern soccer didn’t become official (官方的) until 1863.”可知，直到1863年，足球才有了官方的比賽規(guī)則，故答案為A。

【4】C

句意：其中一個(gè)原因就是運(yùn)動(dòng)的簡(jiǎn)單性。根據(jù)下文中的句子“Soccer needs only two feet and a ball.” 足球只需要兩只腳和一個(gè)球。說(shuō)明從事這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)簡(jiǎn)單方便，故答案為C。

【5】E

句意：足球表演令人賞心悅目。根據(jù)下文中的句子“The sport’s no-hands rule makes beautiful dance-like movements on the field. What’s more, this sport excites the heart.”可知，踢足球就像跳舞一般，足以說(shuō)明這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)令人賞心悅目。故答案為E。
