19."Tear them apart!""Kill the fool!""Murder the referee(裁判)!"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events.At the time they are made,they may seem innocent enough.(71)C They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to violence.Volumes have been written about the way words affect us.It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含義)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior.I see the term"opponent"as one of those words.(72)E
The dictionary meaning of"opponent"is"enemy"or"one who opposes your interests."Thus,when a player meets an opponent,he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy.At such times,winning may control one's brains.(73)G I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough.The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted."Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle,players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way.I have also witnessed a player hitting his opponent with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play.Off the court,they are good friends.(74)B It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.
Therefore,I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to a higher level.Replacing the term"opponent"with"associate"could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term"associate"is"colleague";"friend";"companion."
(75)A You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term"associate"rather than"opponent."

A.Reflect a moment!
B.Does that make any sense?
C.But let's not kid ourselves.
D.Such rude comments express one's strong desire to win.
E.Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
F.Players sometimes turn to violence hoping to injured opponents.
G.And every action,no matter how rude,may be considered acceptable.

分析 本文討論的是語言對行動的影響問題.開篇是三個聳人聽聞的句子:撕碎他們,宰了那個白癡,殺了裁判.可以說以震撼效果吸引了讀者注意,同時也引出了語言這個論題,而這些句子本身又是,F(xiàn)于體育場的,這就提示了本文所討論語言的范圍.

解答 71.C  上下文語境為:在他們的世界里,他們可能看起來很天真(At the time they are made,they may seem innocent enough).但不要欺騙自己.他們會影響人們的行為從而導(dǎo)致真正的流血(They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to violence.).前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系.所以選擇C.
72.E    上下文語境為:我看到的"對手"一詞(I see the term"opponent"as one of those words).可能是時候把它從體育術(shù)語中刪除."對手"屬于體育里的術(shù)語(The dictionary meaning of"opponent"is"enemy"or"one who opposes your interests).所以本題選擇E.
73.G    上下文語境為:在這樣的時刻,一個人贏得比賽可能會控制大腦(At such times,winning may control one's brains),每一個動作,不管多粗魯,可能被認為是正當(dāng)?shù)模?br />74.B     上下文語境為:賽場之外,他們是好朋友(Off the court,they are good friends).這有任何意義嗎?這當(dāng)然給裁判態(tài)度偏離正常的行為的依據(jù)(It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior).后面一句話是對前面問句的回答.所以選擇B.
75.A  上下文語境為:認真思考一會兒!你可以很快看到和可能感覺到在你的"伙伴"而不是"對手"反應(yīng)的差異(You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term"associate"rather than"opponent).

7.How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feeling
Architects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts,feeling and behaviours.But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(實證的)basis.They are discovering how(32)to design (design) spaces that promote creativity,keep people focused,and lead to relaxation.
Researches show aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity.In 2012,Joan Meyers-Levy reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects (33)howpeople think.Herresearch indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely,(34)leading (lead) them to make more abstract connections.Low ceilings,on the other hand,may inspire a more detailed outlook.Besides ceiling height,the view (35)afforded (afford) by a building may influence anoccupant's ability to concentrate.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically,and(36)it seems to,according to a study.Students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary,language arts and maths than did students (37)whoseclassrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim light helps people loosen up.
(38)if that is true generally,keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.
So far public buildings (39)have been focused (focus) on by scientists."We have a very limited number of studies,so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),"architect David says.
"How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad use of them?That is
(40)whatwe are all struggling with."

9.For most visitors to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park,your first stop is the Kilauea Visitor's Center.It is open daily from 7:45 am to 5:00 pm (the park itself is open 24 hours to give visitors the chance to view lava flows at night).Not far from the Visitor's Center is the Volcano House-an interesting hotel with great views of the Kilauea crater (火山口).The hotel includes a restaurant,gift shops and a snack bar (小吃店).Note that it will be closed for renovations (翻修) for much of this year.
There are two trip choices available:Half Day or Full Day.If you take the Half Day trip,you begin by checking out the Visitor's Center.Then take your time and drive around the Crater Rim Drive.Stop at the various sites and lookout points.Visiting the park in a half day will give you a memorable view of the amazing volcanoes.This is a great choice for families with kids and those who hope to learn something about Hawaii's volcanoes but don't desire to make an exploration out of it.
The Full Day trip starts with the Crater Rim Drive.Then you continue on to the Chain of Craters Road in the afternoon.Bring a picnic lunch and stop at the picnic area at the Kealakomo overlook halfway down the road.Continue driving towards the sea.Stop at Pu'u Loa for a look at some beautiful petroglyphs (巖石畫)-drawings made in the volcanic rock by ancient Hawaiians.Then continue on to the end of the Chain of Craters Road.Find out if there will be viewable lava flows into the ocean.If so,stay until dark and sit in silence as the sun sets and the lava lights up as it flows into the ocean.Drive back up the Chain of Craters Road and end your volcano experience by enjoying dinner at a restaurant in the town of Volcano.
