问题     There are people in Italy who can’t endure soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation  exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them metals boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th-century slow, quiet, gentlemanly taste. These are the same people you may be. one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies "the hit".
    By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.
    On TV the game is broken into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry(几何学) of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.
    Take the third baseman for instance. You sit behind the third base dugout and you notice him watching  home plate. His legs are apart, knees bent. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher (投手) throws; the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. "Nothing happened," you say. "I could have had my eyes closed."
    The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual  than listening to music. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch tile eyes of the hatter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide  on wood. ff football is a symphony(交响乐) of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses. [br] According to the passage, the author probably accepts that______.
选项 A、baseball is more appealing than football
B、baseball is too peaceful for the young
C、baseball is more interesting than football
D、baseball may seem boring on TV
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。文章第三段指出：在电视上，棒球运动员被切换成不同角度的画面，而且不断地重放或特写，破坏了其整体运动感，使观众无法将自己投入到运动中去．以体会那种运动之美。由此可知，电视上的棒球比赛看上去不是那么有趣，故应选D
