19."Tear them apart!""Kill the fool!""Murder the referee(裁判)!"These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events.At the time they are made,they may seem innocent enough.(71)C They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to violence.Volumes have been written about the way words affect us.It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior.I see the term"opponent"as one of those words.(72)E
The dictionary meaning of"opponent"is"enemy"or"one who opposes your interests."Thus,when a player meets an opponent,he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy.At such times,winning may control one's brains.(73)G I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough.The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted."Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle,players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way.I have also witnessed a player hitting his opponent with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play.Off the court,they are good friends.(74)B It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.
Therefore,I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to a higher level.Replacing the term"opponent"with"associate"could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term"associate"is"colleague";"friend";"companion."
(75)A You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term"associate"rather than"opponent."
A.Reflect a moment!
B.Does that make any sense?
C.But let's not kid ourselves.
D.Such rude comments express one's strong desire to win.
E.Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
F.Players sometimes turn to violence hoping to injured opponents.
G.And every action,no matter how rude,may be considered acceptable.
分析 本文讨论的是语言对行动的影响问题.开篇是三个耸人听闻的句子:撕碎他们,宰了那个白痴,杀了裁判.可以说以震撼效果吸引了读者注意,同时也引出了语言这个论题,而这些句子本身又是常现于体育场的,这就提示了本文所讨论语言的范围.
解答 71.C 上下文语境为:在他们的世界里,他们可能看起来很天真(At the time they are made,they may seem innocent enough).但不要欺骗自己.他们会影响人们的行为从而导致真正的流血(They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to violence.).前后是转折关系.所以选择C.
72.E 上下文语境为:我看到的"对手"一词(I see the term"opponent"as one of those words).可能是时候把它从体育术语中删除."对手"属于体育里的术语(The dictionary meaning of"opponent"is"enemy"or"one who opposes your interests).所以本题选择E.
73.G 上下文语境为:在这样的时刻,一个人赢得比赛可能会控制大脑(At such times,winning may control one's brains),每一个动作,不管多粗鲁,可能被认为是正当的.
74.B 上下文语境为:赛场之外,他们是好朋友(Off the court,they are good friends).这有任何意义吗?这当然给裁判态度偏离正常的行为的依据(It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior).后面一句话是对前面问句的回答.所以选择B.
75.A 上下文语境为:认真思考一会儿!你可以很快看到和可能感觉到在你的"伙伴"而不是"对手"反应的差异(You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term"associate"rather than"opponent).
