Sport is heading for an indissoluble marriage with television and the passive spectator will enjoy a private paradise. All of this will be in the future of sport. The spectator (the television audience) will be the priority and professional clubs will have to readjust their structures to adapt to the new reality: sport as a business.
The new technologies will mean that spectators will no longer have to wait for broadcasts by the conventional channels. They will be the ones who decide what to see. And they will have to pay for it. In the United States the system of the future has already started: pay-as-you-view. Everything will be offered by television and the spectator will only have to choose. The review Sports Illustrated recently published a full profile of the life of the supporter at home in the middle of the next century. It explained that the consumers would be able to select their view of the match on a gigantic, flat screen occupying the whole of one wall, with images of a clarity which cannot be foreseen at present; they could watch from the trainer’s stands just behind the batter in a game of baseball or from the helmet of the star player in an American football game. And at their disposal will be the sane option s the producer of the recorded programmer has to select replays, to choose which camera to me and to decide on the sound whether to hear the public, the players, the trainer and soon.
Many sports executives, largely too old and too conservative to feel at home with the new technologies will believe that sport must control the expansion of television coverage in order to survive and ensure that spectators attend matches. They do not even accept the evidence which contradicts their view while there is more basketball than ever on television, for example, it is also certain that basketball is more popular than ever.
It is also the argument of these sports executives that television harming the modest teams. This is true, but the future of those team is also modest. They have reached their ceiling . It is the law of the market. The great events continually attract larger audience.
The world I being constructed on new technologies so that people can make the utmost use of their time and , in their home have access to the greatest possible range of recreational activities. Sport will have to adapt itself to the new world.
The most visionary executives go further. That philosophy is: rather than see television take over sport why not have sports taken over television?

【选项释义】
What does the writer mean by use of the phrase “an indissoluble marriage” in the first paragraph? 作者在第一段中使用“坚不可摧的婚姻”一词是什么意思？
A. Sport is combined with television. A. 体育运动与电视相结合。
B. Sport controls television. B. 运动控制电视。
C. Television dictates sports. C. 电视指导体育运动。
D. Sport and television will go their own ways. D. 体育和电视将各行其道。
【考查点】语义推断题
【解题思路】该句中marriage的意思是“婚姻”，文章用“an indissoluble marriage（牢不可破的婚姻）”来表示体育与电视的关系。通过字面意思我们可以推知体育与电视是紧密联系的。A选项中的“is combined with”是对此的同义转述，故选项A正确。
【干扰项排除】
B选项“运动控制电视”、C选项“电视指导体育运动”和D选项“体育和电视将各行其道”均不符合原文，属于曲解原文。

【选项释义】
What does “they” in line 2 paragraph 2 stand for? 第二段第二行中的“they”代表什么？
A. Broadcasts. A. 电视节目。
B. Channels. B. 频道。
C. Spectators. C. 观众。
D. Technologies. D. 技术。
【考查点】推理判断题
【解题思路】根据题干定位至第二段第二句。该句中the ones作为表语指代了主语they，而who引导的定语从句又修饰the ones，根据who引导定语从句时先行词为人而非物的这一要求可知，the ones指代的是人而不是物。四个选项中只有C选项“观众”表示一类人，符合题意，故选项C正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“电视节目”、B选项“频道”和D选项“技术”均不符合以上分析，属于曲解原文。

【选项释义】
How do many sports executives feel with the new technologies? 许多体育管理者对新技术有何感想？
A. They are too old to do anything. A. 他们太老了，什么都做不了。
B. They feel ill at ease. B. 他们感到不自在。
C. They feel completely at home. C. 他们感到自在。
D. Technologies can go hand in hand with sports. D. 技术可以与体育并驾齐驱。
【考查点】事实细节题
【解题思路】根据题干将信息定位至第三段第一句。该句用了too...to...这一表示否定的结构指出：体育管理者大多年事过高且比较保守，对新技术无法做到feel at home。feel at home的表面意思是“感觉像在家里”，实际上就是“感到自在”的意思。B选项feel ill at ease（感到很不自在）是对原文too...to feel at home的同义改写，符合题意，故B选项正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“他们太老了，什么都做不了”的后半句“什么都做不了”原文没有提及，属于曲解原文；
C选项“他们感到自在”与原文内容正好相反，属于反向干扰；
D选项“技术可以与体育并驾齐驱”原文没有提及，属于无中生有。

【选项释义】
What is going to be discussed in the following paragraphs? 下面的段落将讨论什么？
A. The philosophy of visionary executives. A. 有远见的管理者的哲学。
B. The process of television taking over sport. B. 电视取代体育的过程。
C. Television coverage expansion. C. 电视报道的发展。
D. An example to show how sport has taken over television. D. 一个展示体育如何占领电视的例子。
【考查点】推理判断题
【解题思路】文章第四段讲述电视对体育的负面影响，第五段指出体育要适应新技术。结合来看，似乎电视将要控制体育，但文章末段第二句指出有远见的体育管理者的观点：与其让电视控制体育，为什么不让体育控制电视呢？显然，作者采用了转折的写作手法，想要将侧重点转移到体育控制电视上。由此可推知后面段落肯定要写体育将如何控制电视，而用实例来说明则是论证的常用手段，故D选项正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“有远见的管理者的哲学”无法从文中推断出来，属于无中生有；
B选项与最后一段第二句“与其让电视控制体育，为什么不让体育控制电视呢？”相矛盾，属于反向干扰；
C选项“电视报道的发展”不是全文描述的内容，而且最后一段也没有提及，属于曲解原文。

【选项释义】
What might be the appropriate title of this passage? 这篇文章的标题应该是什么？
A. The arguments of sports executives. A. 体育管理者的争论。
B. The philosophy of visionary executives. B. 有远见的管理者的哲学。
C. Sports and television in the 21st century. C. 21世纪的体育和电视。
D. Sports: a business. D. 体育：一项事业。
【考查点】主旨大意题
【解题思路】文章首段指出体育与电视结合；第二段指出新技术对体育赛事的观众的正面影响；第三、四段描述了体育管理者对电视的争论；第五段指出体育要适应新技术；最后一段引用有远见的体育管理者的观点：让体育控制电视。综上可知，全文都是围绕sports和television展开的，而含有这两个中心词的只有C选项，因此C选项正确。
【干扰项排除】
A选项“体育管理者的争论”只在第三、四段提及，属于以偏概全；
B选项“有远见的管理者的哲学”原文没有提及，属于无中生有；
D选项“体育：一项事业”忽视了文章的另一个描述对象“电视”，属于曲解原文。
