1．The word"sport"first meant something that people did in their free time．Later it often meant hunting （捕獵） wild animals and birds．
About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games．This is the usual meaning of the word today．People spend a lot of their spare time playing football，basketball，tennis and many other sports．Such people play because they want to．A few people are paid for the sport they play．These people are called professional sportsmen．They may be sportsmen for only a few years，but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money．
For example，a professional footballer in England earns more than＄3000a year．The starts earn a lot more．International golf and tennis champions （網球錦標賽） can make more than＄50000in a year．Of course，only a few sporsmen can earn as much money as that．It is only possible in sports for individuals （個人的） like golf，tennis and motor-racing．Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that：the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport．An advertising for sports equipment （設備） does not simply say"Buy our thing"．It says"Buy the same shirt and shoes as …"．Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food．They allow the companies to use their name or a photo of them and they are paid for this．Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time．
根據上文內容判斷正（T）誤（F）
51．A"professional"sportsman is someone who likes sports very much．F
52．The word"sport"now usually means"organized"games．T
53．An advertisement for sports equipment just says"Buy our thing"．F
54．The sport stars can earn as much money from advertising as from sport．F
55．This passage mainly talks about sport and money．T．
分析 "體育"一詞起先的意思是人們在空余時間做的事．后來又被定義為捕獵野生動物和鳥類．大約100年前，這個詞第一次被用于有組織的比賽．這就是這個詞今天常用的意思．人們花費很多他們的空余時間踢足球、打籃球、打網球以及其他運動．這類人玩只因為他們想．一些人他們做這種運動會被付報酬．這些人被稱為職業(yè)運動員．他們可能只做幾年的運動員，但是在這段時間里最優(yōu)秀的人會掙很多錢．例如，在英國，一個職業(yè)足球運動員每年掙的錢多于3000美元．球星掙得更多．國際高爾夫球和網球錦標賽每年可掙得5萬美元以上．當然，只有一小部分運動員能夠掙這樣多．僅僅對于一些個人運動像高爾夫球、網球、賽車是可能的．或許關于運動員和錢的最讓人吃驚的事情是：明星從廣告掙的錢要比從體育掙的錢多得多．一個體育設備的廣告不會簡單的說"買我們的東西"，它會這樣說："買和…同款的襯衣、鞋子吧"著名運動員能為鐘表或食物做廣告．他們允許公司用他們的名字或照片，這也要付錢的．運動不僅僅是關于人們空余時間做的事情了．
解答 51．F（細節(jié)判斷題）根據"A few people are paid for the sport they play．These people are called professional sportsmen．"知，職業(yè)運動員是會被付給錢的，而不僅僅是非常喜歡運動的．故答案為：F
52．T（細節(jié)判斷題） 根據"About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games．This is the usual meaning of the word today"知，運動一詞現在經常被用于有組織的比賽．故答案為：T
53．F（細節(jié)判斷題）根據"It says"Buy the same shirt and shoes as …"．"知，廣告是說：買和…同款的襯衣、鞋子吧，故答案為：F
54．F（細節(jié)判斷題） 根據"earn more money from advertising than from sport"知，在廣告方面比運動方面掙得多，故答案為：F
55．T（綜合理解題） 全篇一直在講運動和錢，開始說運動一詞的詞義演變，后來說運動員掙錢多少．都是圍繞運動與錢的關系展開的．故答案為：T
點評 本題不但考查細節(jié)判斷，還考查綜合推理能力，把握整篇主旨的能力．認真閱讀，方可做出正確判斷．
