问题      Many critics consider that far more stress is placed on achievements in athletics than in the academic sphere. We’re told that it’s 【C1】______  to compel boys with no athletic 【C2】______  to spend hours of misery on the playground, when, if 【C3】______  to themselves, they would occupy their time far more usefully in some 【C4】______  hobby. The 【C5】______  to this argument, no doubt, 【C6】______  the simple assumption that every non-athlete has  some  good  hobby. It’s not true; 【C7】______  even if it were, other hobbies are no substitute for being out, exercising the muscles and having 【C8】______  with our human beings.
     【C9】______  the youthful idolizing of athletes, which tends to upset a boy’s 【C10】______  of values and may do 【C11】______  harm to the objects of this hero-worship, 【C12】______  a very different matter.
The schoolboy 【C13】______  may suffer through being surrounded at an early age with feint 【C14】______  of artificial light. From preparatory school to university his career is a 【C15】______  procession. Then he becomes a future legend, one of the great products of the school that is proud to call him her son although 【C16】______  may have taught him nothing except to play football. Not until he hangs up his 【C17】______  does he realize his true value--or the lack of it. It’d be better for everybody if this artificial glory were 【C18】______  from games at an early stage.
     For some devotees, sport is kind of religion, the sporting spirit is the finest attitude to face life, since its possessor is very conscious of his obligation to the 【C19】______ . The truth is that games have practically no effect on character. Games afford an opportunity for showing the spirit within; they are a 【C20】______  for virtue or for vice. It’s for this reason that we should value them.
【C17】
选项 A、applications
B、boots
C、professions
D、resigns
答案B
解析 固定搭配题。根据句意：直到他挂靴隐退的那一天，他才会意识到自己真正的价值，或者是价值的缺失。application表示“请求，申请”，放在句中句子语义不完整；profession“职业”，resign“辞职”，均与谓语动词hang up 搭配不当。hang up shoots是习惯用法，表示挂靴退役，不再踢足球了。
