The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.

During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.

In the 1950’s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries(东道国) as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sports men began to take part in the White Olympics.

Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.

Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen.

This was a wonderful match. The two teams had been playing for only three minutes when Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before.

Liverpool came back with a fine attack.

Unfortunately Tarleston, their center forward, left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier, but had been playing in spite of his injury.

Bobby Good scored for Liverpool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles, had run 40 yards and had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle(拥抱), Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over and the final result was one to one.

1. The first score was made by ______ and the last score was made by ______.

A. Gomez, Good B. Biles, Good

C. Jimernez, Tores D. Gomez, Tores

2. Tarleston is most likely to have got hurt in the ______ minute.

A. 30th B. 35th C. 40th D. 45th

3. Which of the following is TRUE to the passage?

A. Jimernez score one goal in the match.

B. Bobby Good had at least beaten 4 Valencial players before scoring

C. Gomez made the first score for the Liverpool team

D. Bobby Good made a score for the Valencial team

4. According to the passage we know that ______ are on the same team.

A. Gomez, Tarleston, Biles B. Gomez, Jimernez, Tores

C. Tarleston, Tores, Good D. Biles, Tores, Gomez

【答案与解析】本文继记叙了 Valencia 队与Livepool 队之间的一场精彩的足球比赛。

1. A。细节题。根据第1段 When Gomez scored the first goal 及最后一段 Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over… 可知此题答案为 A。

2. A。细节判断题。根据第3段 …left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier… 可判断出 Tarleston 在比赛进行不到35分钟时就受了伤，比较 A、B、C、D 四项可知答案只能是 A。

3. B。细节题。根据 …had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost bought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow, shot… 可知 B 项说法是正确的；文章第1段第3句是说 Jimernez 差点就射了门，所以 A 项说法不正确；根据原文可知 Gomez 是 Valencia 队的，而 Bobby Good 是Livepool 队的，所以 C、D 两项说法是错误的。因此此题答案为 B。

4. B。细节判断题。根据…Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before. Livepool came back with a fine attack. Unfortunately Tarleston…可知Gomez 和Jimernez 都不属于Livepool 队，即他们属于Volencia 队。而Tarleston 属于Livepool 队。再根据最后一段 Bobby Good scored for Livepool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles 可知 Bobby Good 和 Biles 属于 Livepool 队；再根据 …when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow… 可知 Tores 属于 Volencia 队，由此可知答案为 B。(做此题时若能一边看文章一边画个草图，一定会有意想不到的效果。)
