问题     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: the international contests 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 sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
　　One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, "This isn’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 of the team for at least three years.
　　The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russia player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
　　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.
The basketball example implied that________.
选项 A、too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B、the announcement to prolong the match was wrong
C、the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D、the American team was right in receiving the silver medals
答案A
解析 推断题。第三段讲的是美国因微小失误错失冠军而无法接受获得银牌的结果，紧接着第四段作者批判奥运会爱国主义泛滥，运动员过多地为国家而非为对体育的热爱而战。因此作者列举美国的例子是为了凸显奥运会中过多的爱国主义精神。故本题选A。
