Question

What is the connection between violence and sports? Psychologists（心理學(xué)家） say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events. One is alcohol（酒精）. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people become loud. Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”

David Sampson, a sports sociologist, agrees, “These are often celebratory riots(暴亂)— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly.”

Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality.”

Dave Zarifis, head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says, “Some people don’t even come to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think it’s OK to do almost anything. They think, ‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’ ”

Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties.” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly.”

試題分析：本文敘述了存在著球場(chǎng)暴力，并解釋了原因，在最后還提出了解決的方法。

1.C 段落大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二行One is alcohol（酒精）.說明酒精是暴亂的一個(gè)重要原因，故C項(xiàng)正確。

2.D 推理題。根據(jù)第三段最后3行Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality.”說明“mob mentality.”這是一種從眾的心理，需要很多人在一起才能發(fā)生。根據(jù)第三段3,4，5三行people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. 說明ABC三項(xiàng)與之相符，D項(xiàng)不是mob mentality的行為。

3.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)Psychologist Dennis Brock says，David Sampson，Edward Hirt，Dave Zarifis和Dr. Sharon Kennedy說明一共由5個(gè)專家，故A正確。

4.B 段落大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段說明本段是解釋阻止暴力的方式方法，故B正確。

5.C 推理題。根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容可知很多運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)上的暴力很多都是由于酒精和從眾的心理產(chǎn)生的，所以無論有多少人在一起都不要盲目的跟隨別人做一樣的事情。故C正確。
