四六级考试

【单选题】 In Bendigo's time, boxing was associated with ______.
A．the aristocracy
B．corruption
C．local sports clubs
D．strict training procedures

网考网参考答案：B
网考网解析：
主旨题。A的内容aristocracy曾在文章中几次被提及，似乎有理由认为它是对的，但这不是该文的主题：批评Bendigo所处时代的拳击比赛舞弊行为，所以是错的。C及D的内容未曾提及，当然也是错的。只有B的内容符合文章的精神：那就是批评Bendige当时所处的时代，拳击比赛舞弊泛滥。文章的第七段就讲到了这一点：the sport of boxing，once "pride and boast of England"，had come into disrepute． Brutality in the ring had caused an increasing number of deaths among fighters; critics complained that fighters accepted bribes to throw matches．The sport was attracting a great following of hoodlums and cutthroats; 文章的倒数第六段，作者又再次批评了当时拳击运动的负面影响：It proved one of the most scandalous brawls in boxing history．Both men committed every known foul and invented a good many others。这些内容都说明了一个问题，那就是B选项中提到的Corruption，因此B才是正确的答案。 查看试题解析出处>>
