3、holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path. Sometimes the new bucket would say, “See how capable I am!

26、************************************************結(jié)束 閱讀理解推理判斷Passage *************(名校聯(lián)考八) Sport not only is physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism fromcoaches, parents, and oth- er teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of

27、anxiety or stress for young athletes (運(yùn)動員). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological (心理上的), and research has indicated (暗示) that it can lead to bum out. Bum out has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable. The early years of development

28、are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable ex- periences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperatewith others, make friends, and gain oth- er social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should

29、be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious (小心)that youth sport participation does not become work fo

30、r children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coa

31、chesfocus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Pos- hive (正面的) reinforcement (強(qiáng)化) should be provided regardless of the outcome.

32、els of stress, which can lead to bum out. 1. An effective way to prevent the bum out of young athletes is_______. A. to reduce their mental stress B. to increase their sense of success C. to make sports less competitive D. to make sports more challenging 答案: A指導(dǎo)：這是一篇探討心理、教育問題的議論文

33、。文章討論了體育比賽對年輕人成長所起的作用以及父母、教練及運(yùn)動員應(yīng)該如何正確面對體育比賽，如何使年輕人通過參與競技體育培養(yǎng)健康的心理，學(xué)習(xí)掌握成長中所需的技能。文章第一段第三句“．．．It can lead to burnout，”中，這里it 指代stress，既然burnout是由stress所導(dǎo)致，那么防止burnout 的辦法自然就是減少壓力。B、C、D三項(xiàng)恰恰都會增加運(yùn)動員的精神壓力，從而增加the burnout of young athletes。 2. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in

34、 that_______. A. it can help them learn more about society B. it enables them to find flaws in themselves C. it can provide them with valuable experiences D. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves. 答案: C 指導(dǎo)：本題可采用排除法。B、D兩項(xiàng)較易排除，選項(xiàng)A是干擾項(xiàng)。由文章第二段第二、三句"The sport settin

35、gis one where valuable experiences can take place．Young ath letesall，for example，learn how to cooperate with Others，make friends，and gain other social skills that will be used throunghouttheirlives"，比較A、C兩項(xiàng)，C項(xiàng)更貼切，故選C項(xiàng)。 3. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes______

36、_. A. believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development B. without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence C. in order to make them remember life's lessons D. so as to put more pressure on them 答案: B 指導(dǎo)：由文章第二段最后兩句“Coaches and parents should如aware；atallti

37、mes，that their feed back toyougsters can greatly affect their chdren．Youngsters may take thdir parents'and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw in themselves"可知選項(xiàng)B符合文意。 4. According to the passage parents and coaches should_______. A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

38、 B. help children to win every game C. train children to cope with (應(yīng)付) stress D. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports 答案: D 指導(dǎo)：B、C項(xiàng)易排除。關(guān)鍵在于對A、D兩項(xiàng)的判斷。本文的主旨是：家長、教練及年輕人應(yīng)如何正確對待體育比賽；要注意比賽的過程而非結(jié)果，要認(rèn)識到年輕人參加運(yùn)動比賽是為了學(xué)習(xí)到寶貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。A項(xiàng)“要注意讓孩子享受運(yùn)動的樂趣”與文章的主旨不符。根據(jù)第三段第二句，可知D項(xiàng)正確。
