Passage 2 Chinese table tennis players have set new records in the past two years. Following a clean sweep of seven titles at the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships in 1995 , Chinese players wowed audiences at the Atlanta Olympics by bagging all four golds. After that , the gold medals for both the First W omen Singles W orld Cup and the 17th Men' s Singles World Cup went to Deng Yaping and Liu Guoliang , and all four champions of the International Table Tennis Federation (lTTF) Pro-Tour Finals' 96 were Chinese players. We should , at the same time , however , be aware of hidden troubles behind so much glory. The three top players in the men' s team, Kong Linghui , Liu Guoliang and Ding Song , are still quite young. Kong was in difficulty for al1 of 1996. In Atlanta , he was distracted and final1y ousted by Taek Soo Kim of the Republic of Korea in the second round of the men's singles. Fortunately , he had the chance to redeem himself as world champion by grabbing the men' s doubles title with his team-mate Liu Guoliang. Liu Guoliang is another leading player. Fol1owing two gold medals at the 1996 Olympics, he beat quite a few top European players and garnered the men' s single tit1e at the last World Cup. Liu is the strategic weapon for the Chinese team against the Europeans, but he has his weak points. Continuous forehand attacks, proportional use of forehand and backhand techniques and lack of agility are problems that he has yet to overcome. Ding Song gained fame almost overnight for his unique combination of offense and defense at the 43rd World Table Tennis Championship in 1995. Today , however, the 619
uniqueness he once relied on is no longer so mysterious.How to keep challenging other international champions is the biggest issue Ding Song has to face now. Many new faces in the men's team,including Feng Zhe,Xiong Ke,Wang Ligin,Han Yang,Malin and Qin Zhijian,failed to impress people much over the past year.Compared with Wang Tao and the other three veterans mentioned above,they are still too green. Luckily the established players are not too old yet,and newer players still have time to mature. These internal problems,which can be overcome through more training,don't count for much,when what's really more serious is the threat from without.Since the Atlanta Olympics,China has once again become the "common target"of the rest of the world. In men's competitions,European teams remain the major threat to China.In the 1996 World Table Tennis Rankings we find Vladimir Samsonov,a new star from Belorussia,close on the heels of the two Chinese who tied for first place.It is this man,noted for his comprehensive skills and toughness,who gave Chinese players so much trouble at the Olympics and the World Cup on their way to the championship titles. A group of upcoming players like Samsonov is emerging in Europe,and last year the European Federation of Table Tennis Associations had a special meeting on how to deal with the Chinese team.They have invited Chinese players to act as advisors,dispatched two observers to China to keep abreast of the Chinese team,and have sent European players to China to be trained with their Chinese counterparts.They have even thought of amending competition rules to restrict Chinese players. The Republic of Korea (ROK)is another threat.The Chinese team lost only twice in the group event in the past two years,to the same rival-the ROK.The sixth-ranked player in the world is Taek Soo Kim,probably the largest threat to any Chinese player.At the Asian Table Tennis Championships in 1996 he defeated more than a few Chinese veterans. Read Passage 2 and then choose the best answer that may complete each of the statements according to the passage.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet. 11.We can infer that this passage probably comes from A.a recommendation letter B.a magazine C.an instruction D.a drama play 620
