Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Water polo originated in England during the 1870s and soon became popular in the United States. It was first played in the Olympic Games as a men’s exhibition sport in 1900. In 1904 it became a men’s medal sport, but only the United States fielded a team. In 1908 it was contested internationally at the Olympics. Over the succeeding decades water polo became especially popular in Europe. From approximately 1920 to 1946 the United States departed from the international rules for water polo by adopting for play a loosely inflated ball that could be gripped in one hand and carried toward the goal. Opposing players usually attempted to seize the ball carriers, wrestle them under water and render them helpless from loss of breath. This rough style of play virtually disappeared by 1946. Since that time traditional water polo has grown rapidly in North America, especially as a college sport. It is particularly popular in southern California and other parts of the West. Women have played water polo since the Game’s early days, but participation was not widespread until the 1960s. In 1961 United States Water Polo established a national club championship for women. It has hosted one for men since 1980. Women’s water polo became an Olympic medal sport at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia. 41. Where did water polo originate? A. In Europe C.
