There are people in Italy who can’t endure soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them metals boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th-century slow, quiet, gentlemanly taste. These are the same people you may be. one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies "the hit".
By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.
On TV the game is broken into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry(几何学) of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.
Take the third baseman for instance. You sit behind the third base dugout and you notice him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees bent. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher (投手) throws; the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. "Nothing happened," you say. "I could have had my eyes closed."
The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch tile eyes of the hatter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. ff football is a symphony(交响乐) of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses. [br] What does the author mean by saying "I could have had my eyes closed"(Para. )?
选项
A、The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game.
B、The third baseman could achieve the success with his eyes closed.
C、It makes no difference to the result even if the third baseman closed his eyes.
D、The third baseman was so excited to see the good result.
答案
C
解析
语义理解题。第四段描述了棒球场卜的一个场景:拿三垒手打个比方,对方投手投球,他做好了准备,但是对方投出的并不是好球,、所以在那时候的准备与否不会影响比赛的结果,也就是说他本来可以闭上眼睛,不做任何准备,故C项为正确答案。
