A
Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up(入伍) papers.Stephen Napier's call-up
came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force(RAF)．
His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk.It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate(地产) when the time came，and although Stephen was well aware of this，he could think of no reason not to accompany him.
“Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense.Still，I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army...”
“No，Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly.What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy—at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm.But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be，so let's leave it at that.” His face went red.Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge，much to his satisfaction，he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose. The father glared at Stephen，“No，I won't leave it at that.I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head.For a start，what's all this about America？”
“America？”
“Yes.All those books I saw in your room the other day.Brochures about emigration(移民)．” The big，silvered head lowered，like_that_of_a_bull_about_to_charge.“Don't trouble to deny it.”
“I won't，Father.Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it.They want people like us here，mathematicians and scientists，for all kinds of research—the sort of research I could do.It would be a worthwhile life for me.”
The father responded exactly as his son had known he would.“You've got a worthwhile life here! You've got an estate to run！”
“No，Father.You've got an estate to run.I never asked for it.Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it，but I．..”
“If he were here，I might think about this silly idea of yours—only think about it，mind you—but...”

C．Stephen wanted to fly in RAF and become a pilot in America D．if somebody took over the estate，Stephen could realize his dream 解析：推理判断题。A(第四段最后一句)和C(第一段第二句)文章里都提到过，不能说是推断题；而Stephen realized his dream的条件并不是somebody took over the estate。

B
“Tear em 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.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 (含义) 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 justifiable.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 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 deliberately 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.
Therefore，I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world.Replacing the term “opponent” with“associate” could be an ideal way to start.
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”． 语篇解读：在竞技体育中，比赛选手往往将对手当成敌人，不恰当的言语和不文明的动作常常引发一些双方都不希望看到的后果。若转变一下思维，把对手当成朋友，就可以提升比赛的层次，为世界体育树立榜样。 6．Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view? A．Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B．The words people use can influence their behavior. C．Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes. D．Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.

7．Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________. A．are too eager to win B．are usually short-tempered and easily offended C．cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D．treat their rivals as enemies 解析：考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中“when a player meets an opponent，he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy...no matter how gross，may be considered justifiable”可知，赛场上的刻薄和粗鲁的行为，究其原因是由于运动员把对手当成敌人。
答案：D 8．What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?
A．He refused to continue the game. B．He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C．He claimed that the referee was unfair.
