Question

【題目】閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

Everybody knows that soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world.

Soccer is not a new sport. People all over the world played the game in different ways long ago. For example, in China nearly 2,000 years ago, soldiers kicked a ball as part of their exercise. Five hundred years ago in Europe, games in the street were common.

Soccer became popular in England in the 1800s. Different schools, clubs and groups played with different rules. In 1863, these English groups had meetings. They organized(組織)the different games into one game with similar rules. Soon, they formed the Football Association.

Not everyone agreed with the new rules. In England, some groups wanted to hold the ball with their hands so these groups formed rugby clubs. Groups in the United States also wanted to use their hands in the sport so they formed"football"clubs. Americans who didn't want to use their hands called the game “soccer”. Soccer is a short form of the word association.

From England, soccer began to grow. The first official international game of soccer was played between Scotland and England in 1872. By the 1880s, there were professional soccer teams in several parts of Europe. English players also introduced soccer to Africa, South America and New Zealand.

Soccer soon became very popular all around the world. FIFA, the international football federation(聯(lián)盟), met for the first time in 1904. Seven countries came to the meeting. The first World Cup was in Uruguay in 1930. Only 13 countries played in the Uruguayan World Cup.

The World Cup is now the most popular sporting event in the world. Over 720 million people around the world watch the final game of the World Cup.

Next time you're playing soccer with your friends, remember that you're part of a long history of a fun and exciting sport.

足球是世界上最受歡迎的運(yùn)動(dòng)之一，受到了全世界各地人們的喜愛。這篇短文給我們介紹了足球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的歷史以及它發(fā)展變化的過程。

【1】根據(jù)短文第二段 “Soccer is not a new sport. People all over the world played the game in different ways long ago”可知，足球不是一個(gè)新的運(yùn)動(dòng)，很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間以前人們就踢足球了。由此可知答案是否定的，故答案為No, it isn’t.

【2】根據(jù)短文第四段 “Groups in the United States also wanted to use their hands in the sport so they formed "football" clubs.”可知，美國(guó)的一些團(tuán)體也想在這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)中使用手，所以他們成立了“足球”俱樂部。故答案為Because they wanted to use their hands in the sport.或者Because they didn't agree with the new rules.

【3】根據(jù)短文第五段中 “The first official international game of soccer was played between Scotland and England in 1872.”可知，第一場(chǎng)官方國(guó)際足球比賽是在1872年舉行的。故答案為In 1872.

【4】根據(jù)文意可知，這篇短文主要給我們介紹了足球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的歷史和發(fā)展變化的過程。故答案為The history of soccer and how it became popular.

這是一篇說明文，短文介紹了足球這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的歷史和發(fā)展變化的過程。文章主題明確，中心突出，內(nèi)容貼近學(xué)生們的實(shí)際生活，比較容易理解。題型是任務(wù)型閱讀，要求根據(jù)文意回答問題，以考查學(xué)生們對(duì)文章事實(shí)信息的理解為主。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，把握文章中心和脈絡(luò)；然后根據(jù)題目所問，鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語句，用簡(jiǎn)潔的語言回答。如第1小題，題目問的是關(guān)于足球歷史，這在短文開頭就提出來了，根據(jù)文章第二段 “Soccer is not a new sport. People all over the world played the game in different ways long ago”可知，足球不是一個(gè)新的運(yùn)動(dòng)，故答案為否定的。再如第3小題，由題目中關(guān)鍵詞the first official international game of soccer可定位至文章第五段“The first official international game of soccer was played between Scotland and England in 1872.”，可知答案。
