These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are
made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been
known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have
been written about the way words affect us.It has been shown that words having certain
connotations 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. Perhaps
the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
  The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary”;“enemy” ; “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 dominate one’s
intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable1. I
recall an incident in a handball game when a referee2 refused a player’s request for a
time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player
proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T?shirt and then exclaimed. “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 reacting to his opponent’s international
and illegal blocking by deliberately3 hitting him with the ball as hard as he could
during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any
sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal
behavior.

  The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague” ; “friend” ;
“companion”. Reflect a moment ! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in
your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”

  【2005年6月】

  “撕碎他们!”“杀了那些笨蛋!”“干掉裁判!”

  这些话语在各种体育赛场上均能听到。 说这些话的人,往往觉得自己很无辜。但我们不是三
岁小孩,我们深知如此过激行为常会导致流血冲突。关于言辞如何影响我们的书本卷帙浩繁。业已
证实,言语的某些特定含义往往会致使我们以迥异于日常行为的方式做出反应。“对手”一词便是
一例,或许将该词从体育术语中删去的时刻已经到来。

  词典里关于“对手”一词的定义是:“对抗者”,“敌人”,“一个与自身利益相对立的人”
。因此,当参赛者遭遇对手时,往往会把对方看成敌人。此刻,获胜已主宰了个人理智;因此,不
管个人行为多么粗俗,参赛者都会认为合情合理。这让我们回想起发生在一场手球比赛场的事件:
裁判拒绝一位参赛者停止比赛去换副手套的请求,因为裁判认为那副手套不够湿,不一定非得要换
。此时,那位参赛者把手套在其湿淋淋的T恤衫上擦抹一番后,对裁判吼道:“这下够湿了吧?”

  在一场激烈的比赛中,时常会观察到参赛者被罚下场,他们也许未曾想过这种惩罚会对他人产
生何种后果。我也曾亲睹一位参赛者蓄意以最狠的方式将球投向他的对手去伤害对方。赛场之外,
他们是好朋友。这有何启示呢?可以肯定的是,这证明了球场上的行为举止与日常行为截然不同。
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated the game to the level where it belongs
thereby4 setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term
“opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.

  因此,我认为现在需要将比赛提升至一更高水平,从而给体育界树立典范。以“伙伴”取代“
对手”或许就是一个好的开端。

  词典里关于“伙伴”的定义是:“同事”,“朋友”,“同伴”。显然,如此一来,你将不会
把对手当作敌人来看待,赛场风气就会大为改观。

1.【B】这是一道综合推断题,要求考生综合运用已知信息对作者的观点态度做出总结性的判
断。问题是“下面哪一句话能最好地表达作者的态度?”作者在第一段就已经指出“It has been
shown that words having certain connotations may cause us to react in ways quite
foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior.”纵观全文可以看到作者
一直是支持这个观点,并以体育比赛为例提出应该修改体育比赛的用词,以消除体育比赛中的暴力
。 因此B“人们用到的词语会影响他们的行为”符合题意。全文似乎体育比赛占了很大篇幅,但是
应该看到这只是作者用来支持自己论点的一个大的例子。不是文章的最终结论。选项A“体育中的
好斗行为会引发严重后果”;C“体育中令人不愉快的言辞经常被外国运动员用到”;D“裁判的不
公平会导致运动场的暴力事件”。姑且不论它们是否符合原文,单就它们都只是谈到例子中的细节
,就可以排除。实际上从原文可以看到选项C、D原文根本没有提及。

  2.【D】这是一道细节推理题。文章开头提到了一些常见的粗话,并指出这些讲粗话的行为是
因为某些词的含义的误导。第三段以一个特殊的词“opponent”为例,分析了体育比赛中不当行为
的原因是因为“opponent”一词的含义是“敌人”、“对手”,因此“当一名选手遇到他的对手,
他会把他看成是敌人。”因此D项“把他们的对手当成敌人”正确。选项A“太想赢了”也是由于“
敌人”一词的误导产生的想法,不是说粗话的原因。B“通常脾气不好,容易发火”跟原文内容不
符。C“在激烈的竞争中无法保持礼貌”也是原文不曾提及的内容。

  3.【D】这是一道细节题,题干问“当那名手球运动员没有被允许暂停去更换手套,他是怎么
做的?”答题依据为第三段末尾。选项D“他把手套在自己的T恤上蹭来蹭去”是原文的复制。A“
他拒绝继续比赛”;B“他怒气冲冲地用球砸裁判”;C“他叫嚷说裁判不公平”。这三个选项都与
原文不符。

  4.【A】这是一道细节题,答案可在第四段找到:在白热化的赛场上,运动员可能横冲直撞,
可能有人用球去砸别的球员,只因为对方挡人犯规。选项A“故意用球去砸任何一个犯规阻挡他的
队员”原文提到,可选。B“不停地在比赛中尖叫、大喊”;C“躺在地上以示抗议”;D“使劲地
把球踢到球场另一头”。虽然这三个选项中的行为在生活中都很常见,但是在做阅读理解的时候不
能以自己的常识或者生活经验来判断,而应该紧扣原文。

  5.【C】这是一道细节推论题。作者提议用 “associate”一词来替换 “opponent”一词,
是因为前者的含义会使运动员改变他们的态度,不再把对手看成是“敌人”,而是“同事”、“朋
友”。选项C“改变运动员在赛场的态度”正是表达了这个意思。A“呼吁运动员在赛场上语言文明
”,语言文明只是他们改变态度后的另一个可能的结果。B“提高裁判的责任感”,未提及。D“规
范选手和裁判的关系”,未提及。
