V. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
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 1904 it became a men’s
medal sport, but only th United States fielded a team. In 1908 it was contested internationally at the
Olympics. Over the succeeding a team 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 ballcarriers, 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 Califofnia 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 nation club championship
for women. It has hosted one from men since 1890. Women’s water polo became an Olympic medal
sport at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia.
