Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues¹ as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country. But what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. As most of the pupils' time is spent in classes studying lessons, the ordinary day school can't give much practical training for their lives in the future. So it is what the pupils do is the spare time that really prepares them to take their places in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
18. What is the speaker's opinion about learning from books?
19. Why isn't ordinary day school unable to give pupils much training for their future lives?
20. What can help to develop a child's love of his country according to the speaker?

参考答案及分析
18 C 这一题的考点在这样一句话，But what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. 这里But是一个强转折的提示词，the same …… as …… 是一个比较的提示词。这里作者是用learned in books 和learned by experience作比较。作者认为后者更具优势，而这里的experience 体验，经历也就是指的钱文的“Sports and games”所以选C
19 A 这题的考点在“As most of the pupils' time is spent in classes studying lessons,”As是一个明显的表原因的提示词。这句话的说法和用词和A选项几乎是如出一辙，毫无疑问应该是选A
20 B 这题考的是最后一句话“If each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.” If是一个条件提示词，work for his team 为他的团队工作，作者的意思也就是说Collective activities集体活动可以培养孩子何种团队精神。所以选B
