更多“The 19th Winter Games, held in…”相关的问题
The YMCA training school officials asked Naismith to invent a new game because ______.
A．People didn't have enough outdoor exercises in the winter
B．basketball would become popular among the young people
C．they hoped that would attract more people to their school
D．kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoors
Dr. James A. Naismith, the father of basketball, was an instructor at a YMCA(基督教) Training school. The school trained people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were concerned about the low attendance during the winter months. They felt that people didn't attend then because the school did not have a good winter sports program. So they asked Dr. Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied current games. He found that all the most popular games used a ball. So a ball would be a part of his new game, he decided. But kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoor. So he put 2 peach baskets up on poles. The players had to try to throw a soccer ball into them. Naismith then made thirteen rules for the game. 12 of them are still in use today. Just 7 years after the game began, professional basketball teams were formed.
And that's how basketball was born.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．The Birth of Basketball
B．YMCA and Basketball
C．Basketball——an Indoor Game
D．A Winter Sports Program
听力原文： One winter day in 1891, a class at the training school in Massachusetts, USA, went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of the young man felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher James Nasmyth had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nasmyth showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym and explained that they were going to use around European football At first, everybody try to throw ball into the basket no matter where he was standing .Pass ! Pass! Nasmyth kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called basketball, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary fruit baskets with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to clime up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.

Passage Two
In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads.Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form. of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.
“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”
But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.
“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.
Why do people in many cultures prize the egg？
A.It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring
B.It is their major source of protein in winter
C.It can easily be made into a work of art
D.It can bring wealth and honor to them
Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition？A.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life
B.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists
C.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today
D.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on
What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia？A.They are shaped like jewel cases
B.They are cherished by the rich
C.They are heavily painted in red
D.They are favored as a form of art
Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs？A.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed
B.She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea
C.She always derives great pleasure from designing something new
D.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end
What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting？A.It originated in the eastern part of Europe
B.It has a history of over two thousand years
C.It is the most time-honored form of fancy art
D.It is especially favored as a church decoration
