Why is the woman opposed to their son joining a sport like soccer?

为什么女士反对他们的儿子参加像足球这样的运动?

A)他不喜欢任何球类运动。

B)他必须为将来做准备。

C)他有呼吸方面的问题。

D)他做不了任何有挑战性的事。

在对话开头，男士提到他不想让儿子把下午的时间花在讨厌的事情上，所以他提议让他参加一项运动，比如足球。女士考虑到儿子有呼吸方面的问题，因此她认为他不应该参加像足球这类有挑战性的运动，所以答案是C项。A项张冠李戴，男士提议让儿子踢足球，目的是替换儿子可能讨厌的其他事，由此可知踢足球并非儿子讨厌之事，故排除;B项过度推断，男士只是提及不想让儿子把时间花在可能对未来有帮助但他却讨厌的事上，这一表述并不能合理推断出女士认为儿子必须为将来做准备，故排除;D项曲解信息，女士反对的出发点是儿子的呼吸问题，认为他不适合参与足球这类有挑战性的运动，并非意味着儿子做不了任何有挑战性的事，该项对女士的意思进行了错误解读，故也排除。

What does the man suggest their son try in order to understand team spirit?

男士建议他们的儿子尝试什么来理解团队精神?

A)足球。

B)羽毛球。

C)排球。

D)篮球。

在对话中，男士指出团队运动对儿子来说是最好的选择，然后他提出了让儿子打篮球的建议，并说明原因，其中一个就是篮球这项运动能够帮助儿子在与他人合作时理解团队精神，所以答案是D项。其他三个选项虽然都在对话中出现了，但不符合本题题意，故均排除。

What is one of the woman’s considerations in choosing a sport for her son?

女士在为儿子选择运动时考虑的因素之一是什么?

A)加入学校运动队的可能性。

B)赢得一些冠军的机会。

C)日后获得体育奖学金的机会。

D)将来某一天成为职业运动员的几率。

在对话中，女士明确表示排球不像一些运动那么受欢迎，所以儿子将来获得体育奖学金的机会更大，这体现了女士在为儿子选择运动时考虑到了日后获得体育奖学金的机会这个因素，所以答案是C项。男士提到过让儿子加入学校篮球队，但女士为儿子选择运动时未提及此点，故排除A项;男士提到过可以作为团队的一员去实现赢得比赛甚至冠军的目标，但女士在为儿子选择运动时未提及此因素，故排除B项;对话中并未提及女士考虑让儿子成为职业运动员的相关信息，故排除D项。

What does the man say about beach volleyball?关于沙滩排球，这位男士说了什么?

A)它与室内排球完全不同。

B)它对女学生和男学生都有吸引力。

C)在该国它不如室内运动受欢迎。

D)它与其他户外运动完全不同。

在对话结尾，男士明确表示沙滩排球和室内排球完全不同，所以此题选A项。男士强调的是沙滩排球和室内排球的不同，并非沙滩排球与其他户外运动的不同，故排除D项。B、C两项在对话中均没有提到，故排除。

Conversation Two

M: Please hear me out. I don't want our son to spend his afternoons doing something he hates, even if it might prepare him for the future. What about getting him to join a sport, like soccer? From all the running and training, he could become quite athletic. Not to mention the great physical benefits from exercising outside every day.

W:Um, I don't think he should be doing something so challenging with all his breathing issues. What about playing an indoor sport, like badminton? The environment is easier to control, and he can still get a good workout, in addition to improving his hand-eye coordination. Besides, I could teach him some of the basics from my time as

a badminton player.

M: Um, I'm thinking team sports should be the way to go. There's nothing like playing as part of a unit to accomplish a goal like winning a game or even a championship.  He could try basketball since many of the courts are indoors now and it's a sport that could help him understand team spirit while cooperating with others. Maybe he could even join the school basketball team when he's ready.

W: Oh, oh, what about volleyball? It's a team sport and they often have mixed-gender teams so he could socialize with both girls and boys.  It’s not as popular as some sports, which means he has better odds of possibly getting an athletic scholarship in the future. I also believe you were a beach volleyball athlete yourself not so long ago.

M: As I’ve said many times before,  beach volleyball and indoor volleyball are completely different.
