Question

【題目】A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.

As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.

It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction(分心) to the runners, who started a moment later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw(鏈球) competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).

Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether that’s true or the hyperbole (夸張的語(yǔ)句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.

Police took the man into custody(監(jiān)護(hù)). He will appear in court on Monday morning.

Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I don’t know who would have done that,” Bolt said.

Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didn’t know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when you’re in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”

【解析】這篇文章主要講述了在倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)百米大戰(zhàn)開(kāi)賽前，有一名男子往賽場(chǎng)扔了一個(gè)啤酒瓶，落在了博爾特的腳后，所幸沒(méi)有影響運(yùn)動(dòng)員們的發(fā)揮。

試題分析:

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中第一段的A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt、第三段的It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake、第四段的Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics以及最后一段的Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction可知，文章確切提到的運(yùn)動(dòng)員有四位，故選擇B。

【2】D 主旨大意題。這是一篇新聞材料，而新聞材料的主題都出現(xiàn)在文章的第一段，根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知選擇D，指在百米大戰(zhàn)前，一個(gè)啤酒瓶被扔向了博爾特。

【3】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing可知，作者感到慶幸瓶子并未砸到運(yùn)動(dòng)員，故選擇D，持肯定的態(tài)度。
