单选题 A On the contrary , a recent Harvard study argues that football"s characteristics of "impersonal acceptance of B inflicting injury , " an overriding " organization goal, " the " ability to turn oneself on and off, " and being, C above all , "out to win" D are prized by ambitious executives in many large corporations.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】解析:inflicting injury一inflicted injury。句意:与此相反的是,哈佛大学一项最近的研究表明,很多大公司里雄心勃勃的主管们对足球的以下特点大加赞赏:客观地接受他人造成的伤痛、团体目标高于一切、自我和团队之间转变的能力以及最为重要的“赢球”的信念。根据句意,句中的受伤应是他人造成的,但球员们能客观对待,所以需要用inflict的过去分词修饰injury表示被动的意思,故改为inflicted。
