(5 points)Passage 1The 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 (职业的) sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising (广告) than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not 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 name or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for peoples spare time.66.The original meaning of the word sport is hunting wild animals and birds.67.The word sport used for organized games has a long history of over 100 years.68.People except professional sportsmen play the sport for fun.69.Famous sportsmen cant earn a lot of money besides the sport by advertisement.70.Sports nowadays have lost its original meaning.XI.
