正确答案是：are二、阅读理解：选择题（每题10分）Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”1.

）得知Jim Thorpe出生于美国的Oklahoma，故C为正确答案。

2. 【答案】B【考点】细节推理题【详解】从题干上看，这是一个反向推理题，问的是EXCEPT（除了什么）。

从文章第一段的第三句得知，Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors.在喜欢的运动中有fish（钓鱼）、hunt（打猎）、swim（游泳）和play games outdoors（户外运动）。

而选项中A、C都在文中提到了，只有B. singing（唱歌）选项没有提到。

故B为正确答案。

3. 【答案】B【考点】细节推理题【详解】题干是问Jim Thorpe什么时候开始进行体育运动的。

第二段的第二句By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead，我们得知在他16岁时，他的父母去世了，而隔了一句话后，我们可以看到There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports.（在那所学校，他开始学习阅读和写作，并且开始了体育运动训练。

）所以，我们可以推断出他在16岁时开始进行体育运动。

故B为正确答案。

4. 【答案】C【考点】指代题【详解】首先定位decathlon在第三段中的位置，然而从该段的最后一句得知，The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests. 该词是“十项全能运动”的意思，包括track（径赛）和field（田赛），还有游泳、跳高和投掷比赛。
