【单选题】Oxford andCambridge UniversityBoatClubs have both taken the opportunity to travel to Spain this month to train in less testing weather conditions than those which have, quite literally, already blown around the UK in January of 2007.
Each group of athletes has been focused on training to the maximum, working on technique and molding themselves into two potential fighting units perClub for the 2007Boat Race, sponsored by Xchanging. One set will be in theBlueBoat for each club and one set will race as reserves in Isis, for Oxford, and Goldie, forCambridge.
In these modern times, the HeadCoach for each club has a huge input on selection even though the crew is still named by the President. Just twenty years ago the balance was not quite the same.
The year 1987 will always be remembered in the history of this great Race as the year of the "mutiny" at OxforD、It is a tale which has since been retold and reworked in both a book and a movie.
This was the season for which mature Scottish student,Donald Macdonald, was elected President, having all ready won aBlue in 1986. Macdonald re-appointedDaniel Topolski (now a renowned rowing journalist and broadcaster)asChiefCoach.
Part of the 1986/87 squad at Oxford includedAmericanChrisClark, now a coach at anAmerican University, and four fellow US internationals.
Allegedly, a split appeared in the squad between theAmerican quintet, all experienced and leading oarsmen, and those rowers closest to MacdonalD、The Scot’s group were happy to follow Topolski’s regime whilst the others were not so sure.
Following a contentious seat racing trial in January of 1987, Topolski decided to moveClark to the bow-side of the beat.Clark disagreeD、Topolski held firm.As a resultClark and his" group" within the squad decided not to row and sought a takeover.
The squabble was played out extensively in the UK national media and caught the public imagination. Macdonald sought support from the college captains and eventually won a vote of confidence by 28 votes to 11.
Without theAmericans, the Oxford crew was immediately considered a lost cause.Cambridge were overwhelming favorites to win.
As it turned out, though, this was a Race which would prove why sport, and particularly TheBoat Race, can be so fascinating.
From the last paragraph we can draw the conclusion that ______.A．Oxford won theBoat Race
B．Cambridge won theBoat Race
C．theBoat Race ended in a tie
D．theBoat Race was cancelled

网考网解析：
[解析] 根据文中倒数第二段的内容“Without the Americans．the Oxford crew was immediately considered a lost cause．Cambridge were overwhelming favorites to win．”可知，人们认为，没有美国队员，牛津队会输，但结果是出人意料的，也就是说，牛津队赢了这场比赛。所以应该选择A。B项“剑桥队赢得了比赛”，C项“比赛以平局结束”，D项“比赛被取消了”，这三项显然和文中内容不符合。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
