题文

根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

Sport is full of wonderful moments, but perhaps nothing is as exciting as the finish of the marathon. It is the longest, hardest race of all. The name "marathon" comes from a village in Greece. A famous battle was fought there in the year 490 B.C. When the Greeks had beaten the Persians, a soldier ran all the way from Marathon to Athens-more than 40 kilometers-to tell people the good news. When the modern Olympic Games were stared in 1896, the organisers (组织者) knew this story. The marathon has been a race since then.      In the ancient world the Olympics were held every 4 years. They were an important part of life. In the modern Games we try to copy their ideas. The finest sportsmen in the world are collected in one place-or at least, the finest "amateure" are. An amateur is someone who does not earn any money from sport. It is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not. It is true that Olympic athletes (运动员) do not earn large amounts of money like professional sportsmen. But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers for a sport. They have to spend a lot of time training. Their governments pay for their training, travel and "pocket money", because they want them to win. Some people think that this changes the Olympics. They feel that the Games are now a political marathon.

据专家权威分析，试题“根据短文内容，选择正确答案。 Sport is full of wonderful mome..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
