To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870 At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play Goals became a cage of 10x feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888 The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games 27 According to the text, _ a the origins of water polo are written thoroughly in a lot of documents b water polo is an aquatic version of rugby c water polo first appeared somewhere outside England d people have played water polo since the early 19th century 28 The present rules of water polo were invented _ a by Scottish players b by Indian players c the London Swimming Association d in 1870 29 In water polo, the players score a goal by _ a swimming b passing c catching d throwing 30 The present water polo ball is made of _ a rubber b leather c bone d wood 31 Water polo became popular in America in _ a the middle of the 19th century b in 1870 c in 1888 d by the late 1890's Find one mistake from the underlined words or phrases Too much television can has negative effects on young minds A because of higher levels of television viewing correlate with lowered academic performance, especially reading B C 32 D Neil Postman, an author of some great books, pointed out that reading A B teaches us to think in a logically connected way, and cultivating a sustained attention span C D 34 Reading cannot make your life longer, but reading really makes your A B C life more thicker D 35 It is really sad how many people have the misconception that reading is bored A B C D 33 ... b participation c achievement d success Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo It is known, however, that the. .. planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they...
