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 10 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 11 The word " it" in line refers to _ A water polo B soccer C The introduction of the rules D the nature of water polo 12 The present rules of water polo were invented _ A in 1870 B by Scottish players C by Indian players D the London Swimming Association 13 The present water polo ball is made of _ A rubber B leather C bone D wood 14 People first played water polo in America ……… A by the late 1890's B in 1888 C in 1870 D in the mid-19th century Mã đề: 312 Trang 1/3 15 According to the text, _ A water polo is an aquatic version of rugby B .the origins of water polo are written thoroughly in a lot of documents C water polo first appeared somewhere outside England D people have played water polo since the early 19th century 16 In water polo, the players score a goal by _ A swimming B catching C throwing D passing VI Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the underlined word(s) that needs correcting 17 The threat of being dismissed not worry me any more because I have started my own business A B C D 18 It is becoming extremely difficult to grow enough to feed the worlds rapidly increased population A B C D 19 Several people arrived too lately to be admitted to the performance A B C D VII Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) OPPOSITE in meaning to the underlined part 20 The International Organizations are going to be in a temporary way in the country A permanent B complicated C soak D guess 21 Sorry, I can't come to your party I am snowed under with work at the moment A free from B relaxed about C busy with D interested in VIII choose the best answer to complete the following sentences 22 Most _ students in _ UK prepare carefully for A-level exams A the / an B Ø / an C the / Ø D Ø / the 23 Many wildlife parks have been installed security cameras to guard against _ who regularly hunt wild animals illegally A conservationists B authority C environmentalists D poachers 24 _ have made a billion dollars last year A It is thought that his father B His father is thought that C It is thought D His father is thought to 25 .Of course you can come to the party _ A The more , the merrier B The more and more merrier C The more and the merrier D The more and merrier 26 He is a great sports _ He rarely misses any sport games although he was busy A energy B player C enthusiast D programmer 27 "Which hat you like best?" - " " A Yes, I like it best B Which one you like?
