Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
“Being a sports fan is a very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom (运动迷). Fandom connects us with other likeminded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.
“These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of selfesteem (自尊), lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren't interested in sports,” Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health. Of course, teams sometimes lose. Prior to a sporting event, there's at least a 50—50 chance that you're going to be disappointed in your outcome.
So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose? People who feel a strong psychological connection with a team are more likely to root for a team when they're having a losing season. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you'd likely switch to a more reliable restaurant. But because being a fan is so central to people's identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.
Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to relieve the negative psychological effects of losing. For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losing selfesteem.
“There are other things that brings with it above and beyond the ability to enjoy the team's successes. Watching sports can be a way to relieve stress, or spend time with family,” Wann says. Any sort of fandom can be distracting, but Wann says that talking about sports at work and spending time with people who share a common interest can make people more excited to go to work.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现爱好体育有利于心理健康,与不喜欢运动的人相比,体育迷的自尊心更强,对生活的满意度更高。

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These relationships are significant:...compared to those who aren't interested in sports, Wann says.( Wann说,“这些关系很重要:与那些对体育不感兴趣的人相比,体育迷的自尊水平更高,孤独感更低,对生活更满意。”)”可知,Wann认为体育迷的自尊水平更高,孤独感更低,对生活更满意,由此可知,体育迷一般有更高的自我价值感。故选A项。

A.Fans are forced to be loyal to teams.
B.Fans are good at sharing pains with teams.
C.Fans are brave enough to accept losses.
D.Fans own a great sense of identity and belonging.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose?...when they're having a losing season.(那么,为什么人们会继续信任那些容易输球的球队呢?那些与球队有强烈心理联系的人更有可能在球队输球时为他们加油。)”以及下文中的“But because being a fan is so central to people's identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.(但因为球迷是人们身份的核心,人们愿意接受失败,继续忠于一个球队。)”可知,球迷和球队之间存在一种心理联系,球迷是人们身份的核心,所以人们愿意接受失败,并继续忠于一个球队,由此可知,球迷之所以继续支持容易输球的球队是因为球迷们拥有强烈的认同感和归属感。故选D项。
答案 D

答案 A
4.What is this passage most likely from?
A.A poster. B.A textbook.
C.A novel. D.A magazine.
解析 推理判断题。根据首段中的“‘Being a sports fan is a very psychologically healthy activity,’ says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom (运动迷).(默里州立大学教授Daniel Wann的研究项目主要集中在体育迷的心理上,他说:‘成为体育迷是一项非常有益心理健康的活动。’)”可知,本文主要介绍的是一项研究发现爱好体育有益于心理健康,由此可以推断,本文应该是出自体育或者心理健康“杂志”更合理。故选D项。
答案 D
B
Sport is not only physically challenging,but can also be mentally challenging.Criticism from coaches,parents and other teammates,as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes.Stress can be physical,emotional,or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself.The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.Young athletes can,for example,learn how to cooperate with others,make friends,and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives.Coaches and parents should 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 fault in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for 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 coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances.Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome.Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again,criticism can create high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.

It's like squeezing (挤) the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. ____4__ In order to do this, you must first believe in your ability to do so.

The same goes for athletes as well.(成功人士的做事方式与普通人略有不同。运动员也是如此。)”可知,运动员与成功人士一样,在做事方式上与普通人不同,结合下文中的“They get real.(他们变得更现实。)”以及“They have grit (勇气).(他们有勇气。)”可知,此处讲述的是成功运动员的好习惯,由此可知,此空处应是一个过渡句,E选项(下面是运动员要取得成功拥有的四个关键习惯。)讲述的内容承接上文,其中的four key habits与空前的“做事方式”相关,且引出下文的四个好习惯。故选E项。
2.C 根据本段的主旨句“They get real.(他们变得更现实。)”可知,本段主要介绍的好习惯是要现实一点,C选项(他们为每件事都设定了现实的目标。)讲述的内容与本段的主题一致。故选C项。

4.G 根据空前的“Successful athletes know that there is always room for improvement. It's like squeezing (挤) the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.(成功的运动员知道总有进步的空间。这就像从牙膏管里挤出最后一点牙膏。)”可知,成功的运动员知道总有进步空间,并用挤牙膏作对比来说明这一问题,G选项(就在你觉得牙膏空了的时候,你总能再挤出一点。)中的it指的是上文中的toothpaste,且讲述的内容与主题句“They believe in being their best, rather than being the best.(他们相信要做到最好,而不是成为最好)”讲述的内容一致,即他们总是在不断地提升自己。故选G项。
