Question

19．It does not matter who wins．We are told that from day one．Usually，that statement is followed by some remark about being a loser．If we do not care who wins，then why do we compete？Fun，experience，the chance to meet new people---these are the reasons we try to outdo each other．
       People will compete over anything．Every Christmas，my neighbors and I have a little Christmas light competition．It is heaven for the electric company，but I think we give Will Rogers Airport a scare．It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards．I admit that last year my neighbors won，but only because they bought every strand of lights Wal-Mart had before I could get there．
Personal competitions are great，but we get a little carried away．I cannot stand to see coaches shout at kids playing sports．Who cares if someone messes up and the other team advances？
       I'm tired of people competing just to win．It happens not only in sports，but in music competitions，too．People auditioning（試音）for chair placement in certain bands can get really unfriendly．This year I did not audition for a certain band，but I went to auditions anyway．This was the first time I actually had the opportunity to comprehend the whole picture．
       Other times I've been the person who was nervous and anxious．This time，I sat back and observed everyone else．I came to the realization that the people who aren't so good are terrified of the good people，and the good people are scared stiff that the bad people have taken lessons and can now show them up．Unless a person is on the outside looking in，I don't think anyone realizes this．
       Maybe competing is human nature，but we shouldn't let it influence our judgment．Being disrespectful to opponents（對(duì)手），letting competition become our life，and becoming so involved that we close ourselves off from friends and family is not the meaning of competition．
       A little competition is healthy，so it shouldn't hurt anyone．If it does，someone somewhere needs to back off，find the good thing hidden inside，and try it again．Winning isn't everything，and losing isn't the end of the world．

Answer 1

分析 這是一篇討論如何對(duì)待輸贏的話題，贏不代表一切，輸也不是世界末日．

解答 63．答案 D  推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段中"If we do not care who wins，then why do we compete？"可知作者列舉與鄰居的比賽是為了說(shuō)明人們對(duì)比賽結(jié)果的在意，故答案為D項(xiàng)．
64．答案 D 代詞指代題．根據(jù)上句中"…that the people who aren't so good are terrified of the good people，and the good people are scared stiff that the bad people have taken lessons and can now show them up．"可推知此處this指代作者對(duì)于比賽的消極態(tài)度，故答案為D項(xiàng)．
65．答案 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四段最后一句可判斷出A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容文中沒(méi)有提到；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中"Being disrespectful to opponents（對(duì)手），letting competition become our life，and becoming so involved that we close ourselves off from friends and family…"可知比賽時(shí)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者會(huì)變得彼此不友好，故答案為B項(xiàng)．
66．答案C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段中"A little competition is healthy，so it shouldn't hurt anyone．If it does，someone somewhere needs to back off，find the good thing hidden inside，and try it again.."可知競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是有益的，但有時(shí)會(huì)出現(xiàn)失控的局面，故答案為C項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 1）從意思上判斷 在做題時(shí)最重要的是要讀懂空白前后的句子，正確理解了這些句子后，根據(jù)意思的連貫性、邏輯性或者線索詞從選項(xiàng)中選取正確答案．在讀懂意思的基礎(chǔ)上，再利用線索特征詞等進(jìn)一步確認(rèn)答案．
2）從詞匯上鎖定線索 做保持對(duì)一些線索詞的敏感是非常重要的，要好好關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動(dòng)詞，然后在選項(xiàng)中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等．其次是一些專有名詞，比如說(shuō)數(shù)詞、代詞、時(shí)間、年代、地點(diǎn)/名稱等．尤其是在讀不懂句子的情況下，利用這樣的線索詞尋找答案是很有效的方法．
3）從關(guān)聯(lián)詞作為切入點(diǎn) 通常，英語(yǔ)的句段之間經(jīng)常會(huì)運(yùn)用關(guān)聯(lián)詞表示過(guò)渡和銜接，讓文章的思路與更清楚、邏輯更連貫，因此文章中和選項(xiàng)中表示各種邏輯關(guān)系的路標(biāo)性信號(hào)詞在選擇答案時(shí)都是很重要的線索．在做題時(shí)可將這三個(gè)層面的線索很好地結(jié)合起來(lái)．例如，在看到表示并列或遞進(jìn)關(guān)系的關(guān)聯(lián)詞時(shí)，一般表示前后句子的名詞或句意具有同指性；而表示轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關(guān)系的詞則往往表示前后句子的名詞同指，但句意對(duì)立，或褒貶對(duì)立或肯否對(duì)立；而表示例證關(guān)系的詞則意味著在舉例之前或之后有表述概念或某一觀點(diǎn)的句子，往往會(huì)有復(fù)數(shù)名詞出現(xiàn)．
