【答案解析】[听力原文]18-21
Dear Sir,
After watching the discussion about boxing on television last night, I felt I must write to you. Before I saw this program, I had not given any thought to the dangers of boxing. However, thanks to your program, I am now aware of the dangers. Sluice the government seems unwilling to ban boxing, it seems that the general public must do something.
I am particularly concerned about the dangers to young boys who attend boxing clubs. But, in spite of all the publicity about the harmful effects of boxing, parents still let their sons attend these classes. Although I believe that people should be free to choose their own sports, I feel that boxing is not a sport and should be banned.
I should like to invite your audience to write to me and tell me their own views on this matter. If there is sufficient support, I shall start a Ban Boxing campaign.
Yours faithfully,
Erwin Nathan
[解析] 文中反复出现dangers of boxing，harmful effects of boxing，写信人全文都强调的是拳击运动的危险性，因此答案是A。

A、 Pessimistic.
B、 Optimistic.
C、 Critical.
D、 Indifferent.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 该题考查对通篇的整体理解，写信人反复强调dangers of boxing，harmful effects of boxing，由此我们可以判断他对拳击持批判态度。A选项pessimistic“悲观的”；B选项optimistic“乐观的”；C选项 critical“批判的”；D选项indifferent“漠然的”。因此答案选C。

A、 Because according to the government, boxing is a very good sport.
B、 Because according to some evidence, there is no harm to take the sport.
C、 The writer of the letter doesn't say anything about it.
D、 Because the government wants the common people to make a stand first.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 写信人只说Since the government seems unwilling to ban boxing， it seems that the general public must do something．“既然政府不愿意禁止拳击运动，公众就应该采取些行动了”，因此写信人只说了政府不禁止拳击运动，但并没说为什么。

A、 Boxing should be prohibited by law.
B、 Average parents must know the potential dangers of boxing.
C、 The writer intends to launch a campaign against boxing if he can get enough support.
D、 However dangerous boxing is, boxing is still a sport.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 写信人说I feel boxing is not a sport and should be banned．“我认为拳击不是什么运动，所以应该禁止”，因此D不对。
