问题 Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behaviour. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.
To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies became greatly changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They cooperated as skillful male-group attackers.
Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting their food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new use—that of controlling and domesticating (驯养,驯化) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.
The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences, but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvatioa Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skills against prey that were no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other, much simpler ways of obtaining a meaty meal. [br] In a football game, what is equal to the prey in hunting is______.

选项 A、the football
B、the goalkeeper
C、the goal-mouth
D、any member of the opposing team

答案 C

解析本题是一道具体细节题。问在足球比赛中与狩猎中的猎物相等同的是什么。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章第一段中找到相关内容。这段指出，从生物学上来看，现代足球运动员实际上是狩猎人员中的一员。他的狩猎武器已演变成了无杀伤能力的足球，而他的猎物也变为球门口。所以在足球比赛中，与狩猎中猎物相当的是足球球门口。因此，本题的正确答案应是C。
