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.
What did the manager mean by saying, "Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished" ?
选项 A、His team would no longer take part in international games.
B、Hockey and the Federation are ruled by the unfair decisions.
C、There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D、The Federations should be dissolved.
答案B
解析 推断题。根据第二段可知，该教练认为自己的队伍在比赛中因不公正判决而屈居第二，“Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”这句话应该是表示他认为曲棍球比赛和国际曲棍球联合会是不公正的。故本题选B。
