Module 5 课下能力提升（二十）.阅读理解The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting 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 ones can earn a lot of money.For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000 pounds a year. The stars can earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 50,000 pounds a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals, like golf, tennis and motor racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment doesnt simply say, “Buy our things”. 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 names or photographs and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for peoples spare time.1Which of the following is RIGHT?ACompanies can use the photo of a sportsman for free.BThe products advertised by sportsmen are more expensive than those advertised by film stars.CSportsmen advertise products just to be famous.DSport is a means of making money now.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段的最后几句可知，体育已成为运动员挣钱的门路。故选D。2What is the usual meaning of the word “sport”？AIt means something that people do in their free time.BIt means hunting wild animals and birds.CIt refers to organized games.DIt refers to Olympic Games.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段的“About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games.
