Unit 2 The Olympic Games
课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2019·厦门模拟)Did you know that the color of uniforms can influence the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange，but a study suggests this might be true.
Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform.They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score，color had no influence on the result.But if it was a close match，the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win.Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2004 tournament.Again，teams wearing red won more games.
The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals.It had been discovered that when a male show red on its body，it sends a signal of its power and strength.For example，in many kinds of monkey，the more the male shows off its red scars，the more females it can attract.
Based on this fact，the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans，too.According to them，when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform，he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him.And that_kind_of_feeling may have a bad influence on the player's performance in the actual game.
Although the idea is interesting，most people don't accept that color signals in the animals world can really be useful to humans in sports.They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples.Much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.
【文章大意】本文属于科普类文章。

科学家研究了2004年雅典奥运会的运动员所穿衣服的颜色，发现当分数差异大，颜色没有影响得分的结果。

但如果这是一场势均力敌的比赛，着红色制服的运动员更容易赢得比赛。

在动物界中有红色伤疤动物更有权威与力量，更
有吸引力，由此认为会对人类的运动有影响，但大多数的人持怀疑的态度。

这一点也有待于更多的研究来证明。

1．What did the scientists find out about the 2004 Athens Olympic Games?
A．Athletes played equally well in four sports.
B．Game results had a big influence on the athletes.
C．Athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.
D．There was a big difference in red and blue team's scores.
【答案】 C 细节理解题。

根据第二段“They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score，color had no influence on the result.But if it was a close match，the athlete in_a_red_uniform_was_more_likely_to_win.” 及最后一句“…Again，teams wearing red won mor e games.”分析可知，当有分数差异大，颜色没有影响得分的结果。

但如果这是一场势均力敌的比赛，着红色制服的运动员更容易赢得比赛。

分析选项可知C项符合题意，故选C。

2．What may the red scars of a male animal suggest?
A．It is quite strong.
B．It is a failure.
C．It has power over other males.
D．It has attracted a lot of females.
【答案】 A 推理判断题。

根据第三段中的“when a male show red on its body，it sends a signal of its power and strength...in many kinds of monkey，the more the male shows off its red scars，the more females it can attract”分析可知，当一个男性身上有红色，它就显示出强大的力量及权威性。

在许多种类的猴子中，雄性炫耀它的红色伤疤越多，它越能吸引更多的雌性。

因此A项(表明强大)，符合题意。

故选A。

3．The underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of ________.
A．weakness B．pride
C．danger D．shame
【答案】 A 推理判断题。

根据第四段中的“when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform，he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him.And that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the player's performance in the
actual game.”分析可知，当运动员看到穿红色制服的竞争对手，他觉得他的竞争对手可能会比他强。

这种感觉(别人比他强大，而自己相对弱小的感觉)可能在真正的比赛中对选手造成不良影响。

分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。

4．What is most people's opinion to the scientists' idea?
A．Interested. B．Satisfied.
C．Doubtful. D．Thankful.
【答案】 C 推理判断题。

分析最后一段的内容可知，虽然这个想法很有趣，大多数人却不接受在动物世界中的颜色信号真的在人类体育中有用。

他们认为基于这样一个小的例子得出的观点是不合理的，还必须做更多的研究来证明颜色影响运动员的表现。

由此可知是持怀疑态度的，故选C。
