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、Patriotic.
B、Savage.
C、Shamed.
D、Even more competitive.
答案
C
解析
[听力原文]
How is a competitive sportsman likely to feel if he loses?
[听前预测] 四个选项均为形容词,由此推测本题可能考查某物的性质、特征。
[答案详解] 本题关键句为“as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused.”如果你失败了,你和你的组织就会感到这是一种耻辱,一旦你有这种想法,就会产生更加强烈的竞争本能。故选C)。
