Question

Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages  aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).

解析试题分析：本文是一篇议论文。人们总是认为体育比赛能够增强人们之间的感情，使人能够友好互助。但是现在很多国际性的比赛宾没有达到这一目的，相反使人们相互误解甚至憎恨，奥运会也不例外。
【小题1】C 推理题。从文章第一段in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood.一句可知。本题主要考查推断判断能力。
【小题2】D 推理题。根据They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair.说明他们有一分没有被承认，所以输掉了比赛。
【小题3】B 考查推理题。“Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished" 指这项运动被裁判不公平给毁掉了。故B正确。
【小题4】C 推理题。第二段是对第一段最后一句“---, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests. ”进行进一步的解释说明。
【小题5】推理题。A 从最后一句“But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages  aggressive patriotism”和前文作者指出现在的奥运会并没有催进友好，合作等，所以作者认为奥运会需要改进。
