American sports are quite distinct from those played elsewhere in the world.The top four spectator team sports are American football,baseball,basketball,and ice hockey.Baseball is the oldest among these sports.The professional game dates from 1869 and has no close rivals in popularity until the 1960s;though baseball is no longer the most popular sport,it is still referred to as the nationa! pastime.Little boys play baseball in parks and empty lots,in streets and in alleys;and picnics all through the hot summer months include at least a few innings（回合）of baseball with boys and girls, young and old,taking turns at bat. Probably no American was very surprised to read in the newspapers that when a United States atomic submarine surfaced at the North Pole,the crewmen played a game of baseball.
Also unlike the professional levels of the other popular spectator sports in the U.S.,Major League Baseball teams play almost every day from April to October. American football(known simply as"football"in the U.S.)now attracts more television viewers than baseball;however, National Football League teams play only 16 regular -season games each year,so baseball is the great leader in ticket sales.The really important professional players are members of the 24 teams in America's two major baseball leagues.Each summer they are America's national heroes.At the end of the season,when the two top teams play against each other to find the winner of the"World Series",excitement and tension rise in cities all over the country.Fans make long trips to watch the games and to shout from their seats in the bleachers（廉价座位）.Millions of others tune in on radio and television,sometimes making it a topic of conversation.And long after it is all over,baseball fans talk over the scores and the players,inning by inning,and the batting averages of the players this year compared to other years.(Batting averages show the percentage of times a player hits the ball effectively)

答案B
解析美国的体育运动和世界上其他地方的体育运动类似。第一段第一句： American sports are quite distinct from those played elsewhere in the world．美国的体育运动和世界上其他地方的体育运动截然不同。因此本句是错误的。
四种最受欢迎的团体运动中，棒球的历史最为悠久。第一段第二、三句： The top four spectator team sports are American football,baseball,basketball,and ice hockey.Baseball is the oldest among these sports．四种最吸引观众的团体性运动分别是美式橄榄球、棒球、篮球和冰上曲棍球。这些运动中棒球历史最为悠久。因此本句话是正确的。
当读到核潜艇的船员在北极进行了场棒球比赛的新闻时，任何一个美国人都不会感到惊讶，因为棒球是美国的国球，很多人都喜欢这项运动。第一段第四句：…though baseball is no longer the most popular sport,it is still referred to as the national pastime．尽管棒球如今不再是最受欢迎的运动，但是依然被看作是美国的国球。接下来用具体例子来说明棒球运动在美国的受欢迎程度，最后一个关于核潜艇船员打棒球的例子也是为了说明这一点。因此本句话是正确的。
美式橄榄球在门票梢量方面仅次于棒球。文中对此没有提及。
当前两名球队进行决赛时，这个国家的很多人都觉得紧张而兴奋。At the end of the season,when the two top teams play against each other to find the winner of the "World Series", excitement and tension rise in cities all over the country．季末的时候当前两名球队为夺得“世界职业棒球大赛冠军”称号一决高低的时候，全国上下弥漫着兴奋和紧张的情绪。因此本句话是正确的。
棒球赛季结束不久之后人们就停止谈论棒球了。And long after it is all over, baseball fans talk over the scores and the players,...compared to other years．比赛结束很久之后，一些棒球迷还会谈论一场一场比赛的分数和球员的表现，以及球员今年和往年相比的安打率。因此本句是错误的。
美国总统之所以受邀在华盛顿特区开启棒球赛季大概是因为总统喜欢棒球运动。本文主要内容就是介绍棒球运动在美国的“国球”地位，所以最后一段说美国总统受邀开启棒球赛季依然是为了说明这个主题，而并不是因为美国总统喜欢棒球运动。因此本句是错误的。
