 A new class of 75-foot yachts has replaced the 12-meter racing vessels that populated 
the America’s Cup races since the late 1800s, but the excitement and challenge of the 
 Thẩm Tâm Vy, 2021 TRA COURSE - GRADE 12 UNIT THIRTEEN ~ TEST No.1 
race remain unabated. Only once in the history of the America’s Cup has the prize left 
the shores of the United States. That coup was perpetrated by Australian businessman 
Alan Bond and his yacht Australia II, skippered by John Bertrand in 1983. 
 Dating back to the middle of the nineteenth century, the America’s Cup is the oldest 
international sporting trophy of any kind. In 1851, at the invitation of England’s Earl of 
Wilton, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, the New York Yacht Club sent the 
schooner America across the Atlantic to race against the British. The sole American 
entry went against seventeen of Britain’s racing yachts and finished ahead of the Aurora 
by 18 minutes. The prize, an ornate silver urn, named “The Hundred Guinea Cup” for 
its cost, was handed over uO the winners and was known thereafter as the “America’s 
Cup.” 
 .Six years after the race, the Cup was given to the New York Yacht Club with the 
understanding that any foreign yacht club could challenge for it. Despite twenty-five 
challenges, the Cup remained in America’s hands until 1983. However, the only man to 
have lost the cup in 132 years, Dennis Connor, was not one to accept defeat. During a 
grueling four and a half months of elimination races in some of the most testing 
conditions in which 12-meter boats had ever sailed, Dennis Connor won the right to 
compete for the Cup. In September 1988 Connor’s controversial 60-foot catamaran, 
Stars and Stripes, sailed past Michael Fay’s equally controversial 130-foot yacht, New 
Zealand, to win back the prize in a court-challenged victory. The final court decision 
kept the cup on American soil but led to the demise of the complicated formula that 
dogged the 12-metre yachts for so many years. 
41. With which of the following statements would the author agree? 
A. The America’s Cup races should be relegated to an event of the past. 
B. The British are responsible for America’s winning streak. 
C. The America’s Cup is an important and stimulating event. 
D. There should be a return to the old formula for America’s Cup racing boats.

C. boating terms D. the construction of sailing vessels

A. how to win the Adierica’s Cup C. the role of the British in the America’s Cup

passage? 
A. The America’s Cup race is losing its popularity. 
B. The Australians will not be contenders in the future. 
C. The America's Cup will never again leave the shores of the United States.
