Sports Should be Banned by Law When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made it s amazing how little we have developed in other respects We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better But are our feelings of superiority really justified Are we any less blood thirsty Why do boxing matches for instance attract such universal interest Don t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age sports which are quite as barbarous as say public hangings or bearbaiting It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull fighting that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames Let us not deceive ourselves Any talk of the sporting spirit is sheer hypocrisy People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence A world 用心 爱心 专心 6 heavyweight championship match for instance is front page news Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much You may well ask The answer is simple they are uncivilized For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally admittedly with little success But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved but because positive steps were taken to change the law The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence If we banned dangerous and violent sports we would be moving one step further to improving mankind We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings 46 It can be inferred from the passage that the author s opinion of nowadays human beings is A not very high B high C contemptuous D critical 47 The main idea of this passage is A vicious and dangerous sports should be banned by law B people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence C to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sports D people are bloodthirsty in sports 48 That the author mentions the old Romans is A To compare the old Romans with today s people B to give an example 用心 爱心 专心 7 C to show human beings in the past know nothing better D to indicate human beings are used to bloodthirsty 49 How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage A Three B Five C Six D Seven 50 The purpose of the author in writing this passage is A that by banning the violent sports we human beings can improve our selves B that by banning the dangerous sports we can improve the law C that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare system D to show law is the main instrument of social change B 篇 Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the Community Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they re always coming in for criticism Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self promotion and because they have so much money to throw around It s iniquitous they say that this entirely unproductive industry if we can call it that should absorb millions of pounds each year It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making Why don t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods After all it s the consumer who pays w w w k s 5 u c o m The poor old consumer He d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn t create mass markets for products It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods Another equally important function is to inform A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance price etc from an advertisement Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements but this claim may 用心 爱心 专心 8 be seriously doubted It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days And what fun they often are too Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper A cheerful witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities We must not forget either that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets Newspapers commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price Another thing we mustn t forget is the small ads which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community Just about anything can be accomplished through these co
