Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Part of the fun of watching sports events is following an exciting rivalry (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)關(guān)系).
But where do all these rivalries come from?
Some rivalries start because athletes spend a lot of time close to opponents (對(duì)手).
Other rivalries get personal. Things that one rival says that are thought to be not respectful to the other can cause a rivalry, even if the words are misunderstood. And sometimes, rivalries grow just because the athletes don't like each other's personalities.
Some sports may also be more likely than others to cause rivalries. “Some sports only meet a few times, so there is less chance for rivalries to build,” For example, in sports where athletes perform on their own, such as diving, rivalries might also take longer to appear than in sports in which athletes compete at the same time. But in tennis, players often face each other, and rivalries are more likely to happen.
So do the rivalries do good or harm to the athletes?
Some believe that rivalries can be a good thing because they encourage athletes to try harder to win. But rivalries can also become too personal, taking athletes' attention away from their sports.
Keegan agreed that rivalries often do athletes more harm than good. “They can be a huge distraction (分散注意力的事) and lead to focusing on the opponent more than the game,” he said.
“Top athletes often have physical and mental training that they follow in order to worry less and prepare to compete”, Gould further explained. An important part of that preparation is preventing from distractions, including rivalries.
“The better athletes don't care too much about a rivalry – they try to treat every competition the same,” Gould told LiveScience.

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，觀看體育賽事樂(lè)趣的一部分是一個(gè)令人興奮的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，但是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)會(huì)使運(yùn)動(dòng)員分散注意力。頂尖運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)把精力放在比賽上而不是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手上。

⑴考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“Some sports only meet a few times, so there is less chance for rivalries to build,” For example, in sports where athletes perform on their own, such as diving,可知四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中Diving最不可能引起競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。故選C。

⑵考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Things that one rival says that are thought to be not respectful to the other can cause a rivalry, even if the words are misunderstood.”甚至這些話產(chǎn)生誤解。故選A。

⑶考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“They can be a huge distraction (分散注意力的事) and lead to focusing on the opponent more than the game,” 競(jìng)爭(zhēng)會(huì)使運(yùn)動(dòng)員分散注意力。故選D。

⑷考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Top athletes often have physical and mental training that they follow in order to worry less and prepare to compete”,可知頂尖運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)把精力放在比賽上而不是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手上。故選B。
