Question

【题目】Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by . Newspapers , magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches . Professional boxers earn a lot of money , and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.

It seems to me that people , especially men ,find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport . When they watch a boxing match , they can identify with the winning boxer , and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves . It is a fact that many people have feeling of aggression from time to time , but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives . 【1】

However , there is a negative side to boxing . 【2】 Although boxers wear gloves during the fights , and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets , there have frequently been accident in both professional and amateur boxing , sometimes with dramatic consequences . Boxers have suffered from head injuries , and occasionally , fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. 【3】 Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, he might have suffered severe brain damage without knowing it.

【4】 I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society . I believe that the world is aggressive enough already ! Of course , people like competitive sports , and so do I , but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

A.Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression .

B.I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing .

【4】D

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。作者讲述了拳击运动的利弊所在，并表明这类运动因其暴力和侵略性的体现不应该过多占据大众视野。

【1】前文提到人们大都有侵略的欲望，但日常生活中不能表现出来。A选项“观看拳击比赛给出了一个发泄的方法”承接上文，且回归到了拳击的主题上。故选A项。

【2】段落的主题是拳击也有负面的效果。空白后陈述的是各种拳击场上时有发生受伤事故。F选项“这有可能威胁人们的个人安全”承上启下，符合文意。故选F项。

【3】前文提到拳击手可能受伤甚至被击倒导致死亡，可以看作是当下产生的后果，而空白后指出的则是潜在的、长期的伤害，E选项“此外，研究表明拳击往往会造成一些长期影响”承上启下，符合文意。故选E项。

【4】最后一段表达的是作者对于拳击作为运动的不支持不赞成，也不应该为观众树立这样侵略性的价值观。D选项“职业拳击手比起业余爱好者承担的风险大得多”符合段落主题。故选D项。

六选四题型主要考查考生对文章的整体理解和掌握情况，相当于阅读理解和完形填空的综合。它不仅需要阅读速度，还要对文章的结构、主旨、写作意图、观点都有所了解。主要考点包括：1.考查主题句，也就是考查对文章整体内容的概括能力；2考查上下文衔接，即考查文章的过渡部分；3考查中心句，需要考生学会归纳段落大意。拿到题目时，应该先确定出题位置；读题干，再读需要填入句子的上下句，画出关键词；读文章各段落，确定段落中心句和文章主题句；通读文章确定上下句和选项之间的逻辑关系。针对不同设空位置选择不同的策略就能事半功倍。第2小题是上下文衔接的典型，其上句是段落主题句直言拳击不好的方面，下句点明赛场内外意外时有发生，根据对拳击运动的认识，容易想到这里所指的就是拳击运动对人身安全存在威胁，故确定正确答案。
