  • 第4题:

    In a big decision,the Supreme Court overturned a 1992 federal law that had effectively banned all states except Nevada from legalizing sports betting.The court had no opinion about sports gambling itself.11 merely reasserted a constitutional restraint on federal power over the states.So before states rush to permit,regulate,and tax sports betting,they may want to first weigh the original reasons behind the now-defunct ban.The big reason given back then by Congress was to maintain sports as a public display of talent,effort,and teamwork-the very opposite of a belief in chance.The integrity of athletes lies in their ability to master the circumstances of a game.In sports,unforeseen circumstances are not considered luck but rather a challenge to test the skills of athletes.Sports should not be sullied by the false hopes of quick riches by gamblers pining for a"lucky break."Like society itself,sports rely on each person's desire to understand the causality of evenrs and make the best of them.Athletes know they cannot put faith in so-called fortune.Nor should governments.If states now boost sports betting by legatizing it,what message are they sending about athletics-in fact,about any physical or mental endeavor?According to Bill Bradley,a former NBA star and the then-senator who sponsored the 1992 law,placing bets on players makes them no better than roulette chips.Sports have a dignity thai defies those who want to see games turning on a twist of fate.Mr.Bradley also gives a second reason for governments not to push betting on sports.Should gambling be allowed on Little League games or middle-school athletics?Even New Jersey,which led the case against the 1992 act,did not want betting on its local teams.Up to now,most major professional sports leagues were opposed to lifting the federal ban.They feared athletes might throw a game or simply rig a play at the request of gambling agencies,as is often the case in many parts of the world.If games were seen as gamed,fans might flee.Now after this ruling,however,leagues might be tempted by the possibility they could get what is misnamed an"integrity fee,"or a percentage of gambling revenues from each game.States,too,appear tempted to gain tax revenue from sports gambling-although they should first look at how little Nevada has actually gainecl from sports betting in comparison to other types of gambling.The uncertainties of legalized,regulated sports gambling in the United States are very high.But one certainty remains:Sports must remain pure in their purpose as a contest of what athletes give in a game,not what betting can take from them.
    After the new ruling,major professional sports leagues would probably

    A.keep fighting against sports betting.
    B.want to profit from sports betting.
    C.get stricter with sports integrity.
    D.try harder to please their fans.

    答案:B
    解析:
    第六段④句指出:新判决生效后,各大职业体育联盟也许会被一些潜在收入(“诚信费”收入、博彩收人)所诱惑,即它们可能会因利益诱惑转变态度:由反对博彩转为从体育博彩收人中抽成,故B.正确。[解题技巧]A.与第六段信息“各大体育联盟受到利益诱惑可能会转变态度:由反对博彩转为利用博彩”相悖。C.D.分别由上文所述的体育博彩危害“威胁体育运动的诚信性”、“被下注的体育比赛可能会遭球迷厌恶”反向臆断出“各大联盟会更加重视体育诚信性和球迷喜好”,而原文并未提及各大联盟在新判决生效后对诚信性和球迷的态度。

    American Sports
    The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
    Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and sum-mer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exact-ly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
    Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the coun-try,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
    Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to foot-ball because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
    Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble” primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.

    Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket.

    Which of the following best represents the major idea underlying the 1992 law?

    A.Athletes are vulnerable to false hopes of quick riches.
    B.Unforeseen situations bring out the best in athletes.
    C.Sports betting is a threat to the integrity of sports.
    D.Almost all sports contain a certain amount of luck.

    答案:C
    解析:
    第二段首句指出国会通过1992法令的最初动因“确保体育运动是对才能、努力及团队合作的公开展示——与相信机遇的博彩信念截然相反”,随后指出运动员的正直诚信体现于他们的比赛技能。由此可知,1992法令背后最为核心的理念就是“体育博彩会威胁体育诚信”,故C.符合文意。[解题技巧]A.干扰源自第三段②句“赌徒们期待一夜暴富的虚假妄想会玷污体育运动”,但不符合④句“运动员不相信运气(不易受到一夜暴富愿望的影响)”;B.将第三段①句对unforeseen circumstances的陈述“是测试运动员技能的一种挑战”夸大为“使运动员发挥最佳技能”;D.源自人们的惯常认识“运动员的成就往往是技能和运气综合作用的结果”,但并非1992法规所基于的理念。

    A.Hardly had he begun
    B.No sooner had he begun
    C.Not until he began
    D.Scarcely did he begin

    答案:A
    解析:
    考查倒装句。本题涉及固定搭配: hardly/scarcely ...when ...与no sooner ...than...。在这两个结构中,主句的时态通常为过去完成时,从句的时态为一般过去时。故本题选A。句意:他刚一开始讲话,听众就把他打断了。

    A.had he arrived
    B.would he have arrived
    C.did he arrive
    D.should he have arrived

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查倒装句。本题因not until在句首,所以应用倒装语序。因为从句的动作发生在主句的动作之前,所以从句用了过去完成时,主句要用过去时。故本题选C。句意:直到比赛开始,他才到达运动场。
