In the 1960s,László Polgár was a Hungarian educational psychologist who had written several scientific papers on the effectiveness of practice in creating excellence.Explaining his passionate convictions to his future wife,Klara,she fell for him as well as his arguments.They chose chess for their experiment because it has an objective metric by which achievement can be measured.Neither were exceptional chess players.
As luck would have it,Klara gave birth to three daughters.There had been no female grandmasters and it was widely assumed that women were genetically incapable of the cognitive skills entailed in exceptional chess,and were consequently excluded from top tournaments.
Starting with his eldest daughter,Susan,Polg6r was careful to treat it as a playful activity,turning it into a fantasy of dramatic wins and losses.Whereas Earl and Kuhida Woods had coerced perfection from Tiger,the Polgás encouraged enjoyment.
By the time Susan had turned five,she was excited by playing and spent hundreds of hours practising.She was entered into.a local competition and treated it aB fun,winning 10-0,causing a sensation.
Meanwhile,her younger sisters were
intrigued
and Lárszló allowed them to feel the pieces,seeing them as toys,with no formal tuition until they were five.Interviewed recently,al three girls described playing the game as something that they loved doing—it never felt like a chore.Instead of messing about playing Monopoly,netball or going to the local swimming pool,chess was just what the Polg6r family enjoyed.
Sure enough,in 1991 the eldest daughter became the first female grandmaster.The second daughter had 10 straight wins against male grandmasters,a performance rated the fifth best in the history of chess.Her younger sister became a grandmaster at the age of 15,the youngest ever,of either gender.
Polgár understood that coercion was less valuable than small children’s need to enjoy fantasy play.Consequently,his daughters all seem to have grown into satiable,well—balanced people rather than success addicts.
The word“intrigued”in paragraph 5 probably means“___________”.
选项
A、promoted
B、imposed
C、agreeable
D、attracted
答案
D
解析
词义猜测题。根据上文Susan对国际象棋很感兴趣,并且很擅长,紧接着下段的meanwhile及下文中出现的László让两个小女儿将象棋当作玩具,同时两个小女儿也很喜欢国际象棋,由此可以判断intrigued有“感兴趣的,被吸引的”含义,而attracted与之同义。故正确答案为D。
