I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if one didn’t know from e0nerete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to hatred, one could deduce if from general principles.
Nearly all the sports nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise, but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused. Any one who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe—at any rate for shore periods—that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.
选项
A、People enjoy sport.
B、There are general principles governing sport.
C、Sport makes war less likely.
D、Sport is enjoyed by common people.
答案
C
解析
What is the writer’s amazement about sport?
[听前预测] 四个选项中多次出现sport,由此推测本题可能会围绕文中sport的某一特征提问。
[答案详解] 综合理解题[考频:7]。本题关键句为“。I am always amazed when I hear people saying that... on the battlefield.”有人说运动可以使各国之间建立友谊,并且如果全世界的平民大众都能在足球场或曲棍球上结识,那么他们就不愿意在战场上相遇。作者对此话深感吃惊,换句话说,即作者对运动会促进和平、减少战争这方面的作用感到吃惊。故正确答案为C)。
