A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.
As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.
It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction(分心) to the runners, who started a moment later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw(链球) competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane5).
Edith Bosch, a female Dutch judoka who won a bronze medal earlier during the Olympics, claimed that the man who threw the bottle was sitting near her and that she “beat” him. Whether that’s true or the hyperbole (夸张的语句) of an aggravated athlete was unclear in the minutes after the incident. Pictures show a group of Dutch athletes sitting behind the starting area.
Police took the man into custody(监护). He will appear in court on Monday morning.
Neither Bolt nor Blake said they knew of the incident until they were informed by reporters. “I don’t know who would have done that,” Bolt said.
Gatlin was aware of it but implied it was only a slight distraction. “I didn’t know what it was,” he said, according to the BBC, “but when you’re in those blocks, the whole stadium is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.”
1.How many exact athletes are mentioned in the text?
A. Two B. Four C. Seven D. Eleven
2.What is the text mainly about?
A. Usain Bolt along with seven other competitors
B. A female Dutch judoka sitting behind the starting area.
C. The lane belonging to Yohan Blake before 100 final.
D. A beer bottle thrown at Usain Bolt before 100 final.
3.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the athletes for the 100-meter final?
A. Critical B. Doubtful
C. Disapproving D. Positive

Bolt, who won gold in the 100m,200m and 4*100m relay in reord times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale （士气） of his main rival for gold at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Berlin．

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
A woman from Australia has found the world’s oldest known message in a bottle nearly 132 years after it was cast into the sea.
Tonya Illman discovered the drift (漂流) bottle half-buried in the sand on a beach in Western Australia, 180 kilometers north of the state capital Perth.
The message, dated 12 June 1886, was thrown into the Indian Ocean from the German ship Paula, which was en route from Cardiff, Wales, to its destination of Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). The bottle was one of the thousands thrown into oceans as part of a 69-year-long German experiment on global currents (洋流) to find faster shipping routes.
Until now, the previous world record for the oldest message in a bottle was 108 years, 4 months and 18 days from the time it was cast until its discovery.
Illman found the bottle near her son’s car in the beach’s soft sand.
“I was walking across when I saw something sticking out of the sand, so I went to take a closer look,” Illman was quoted as saying.
“It just looked like a lovely old bottle, so I picked it up thinking it might look good in my bookcase. My son’s girlfriend was the one who discovered the note when she went to tip the sand out.
“The note was damp, rolled tightly and tied with a string. We took it home and dried it out, and when we opened it, we saw it was in German, with very faint German handwriting on it.”
The Illmans took their find to the local museum which established that the bottle was a 19th Century Dutch gin bottle, and the German ship Paula sailed from Cardiff to Makassar (Indonesia) in 1886.
1.What can we learn about the newly-found bottle?
A. It was thrown overboard near Germany.
B. It was brought to a university for consultation.
C. It was one of the bottles cast into the ocean in 1886.
D. It was used for sending a message to today’s Indonesia.
2.What do the underlined words “en route” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. On the way. B. Off the course.
C. In the center. D. At the end.
3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. 19th Century Dutch Gin Bottle Returned to Germany
B. Oldest Message in a Bottle Found on Australian Beach
C. German Ship Paula Sailed Across the Indian Ocean in 1886
D. 69-year-long German Experiment on Global Currents Ended
