5. Psychological research indicates that college hockey and football players are more quickly moved to hostility and aggression than are college athletes in noncontact sports such as swimming. But the researchers’ conclusion—that contact sports encourage and teach participants to be hostile and aggressive—is untenable. The football and hockey players were probably more hostile and aggressive to start with than the swimmers.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the psychological researchers?  

(A) The football and hockey players became more hostile and aggressive during the season and remained so during the off-season, whereas there was no increase in aggressiveness among the swimmers.

这题说支持psychological researchers的结论,也就是支持contact sports encourage and teach participants to be hostile and aggressive,而反对者认为他们更易发动暴力.A中became more 和remained so是不是矛盾啊?而且觉得A是支持反对者的.不明白为什么选A.

11. Some observers have concluded that the rise in the price of pepper means that the switch by some growers from pepper to cocoa left those growers no better off than if none of them had switched; this conclusion, however, is unwarranted because it can be inferred to be likely that

(C) supplies of pepper would not be as low as they are if those growers had not switched crops

问题读不懂,no better off than应该怎样理解?

15. Technological education is worsening. People between eighteen and twenty-four, who are just emerging from their formal education, are more likely to be technologically illiterate than somewhat older adults. And yet, issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology.

请问中文是什么意思?

第五题美眉问了个很好的问题，不过如果将researcher的结论理解为破折号内的那一句，就一个答案也没有了，如果将其理解为全段的段意，那么答案该是A。实际上，我也经常对提问的这一句头疼不已，有时是看少了，有时又看多了，很有点郁闷呢

11。switch by some growers from pepper to cocoa left those growers no better off than if none of them had switched。 no better off看似复杂，其实意思就是不会更好，全句：一些grower不种pepper改种cocoa（的景况）其实并不比他们没（从pepper领域离开）改种cocoa前好。

15。Technological education is worsening. People between eighteen and twenty-four, who are just emerging from their formal education, are more likely to be technologically illiterate than somewhat older adults. And yet, issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology。技术教育正变得越来越遭。刚刚接受完正规教育、18至24岁的人们比年纪比他们大的人更有可能是技术盲。然而，一些需要全民考虑的问题正越来越多地涉及到技术层面

仓促之间，MM就权当参考吧

Dear man, acturally, you have answered the question to yourself. The part you highlighted is the key for the answer. If the hocky players are normal people, then they will act as same as the other peoples do. But since they remine their aggressive activities, they are rude inately.

just no better than...

技能教育真是正在被办得越来越差了！那些二十来岁的人，刚刚从学校毕业出来，竟然比那些比他们稍微大一点的人更加的不懂技术语言。然而，公众投票的议题涉及更多技术面的（问题）。not sure though

个人以为，这段话有两个观点：

一、Psychological researcher的：Psychological research indicates that college hockey and football players are more quickly moved to hostility and aggression than are college athletes in noncontact sports such as swimming. the researchers’ conclusion—that contact sports encourage and teach participants to be hostile and aggressive.

二、the author of this argument 驳斥上述观点的: But the researchers’ conclusion—that contact sports encourage and teach participants to be hostile and aggressive—is untenable. The football and hockey players were probably more hostile and aggressive to start with than the swimmers

题目是问支持Psychological researcher 的观点，所以支持 the conclusion—that contact sports encourage and teach participants to be hostile and aggressive.的就是答案。

(A)The football and hockey players became more hostile and aggressive during the season and remained so during the off-season, whereas there was no increase in aggressiveness among the swimmers.
说明确实是由于运动种类的不同导致人们的行为（hostile and aggressive）不同

(B)The football and hockey players, but not the swimmers, were aware at the start of the experiment that they were being tested for aggressiveness.
即使意识到，也不能说明他们就会故意表现出这一点

(C)The same psychological research indicated that the football and hockey players had a great respect for cooperation and team play, whereas the swimmers were most concerned with excelling as individual competitors.
跟团队协作能力无关

(D) The research studies were designed to include no college athletes who participated in both contact and noncontact sports.
即使包含了两个都参加的运动员，也不能说明运动对他们就不会有影响（A）

(E) Throughout the United States, more incidents of fan violence occur at baseball games than occur at hockey or football games.
无关

我想原作者应该是对题目中的become more以及A选项中的remain so比较不懂吧。

题目结论说：足球员天生就敌对，而不是打球变得敌对。
如果是打球变得敌对，那么足球员应该是在频繁打球的时候性格很敌对，但不打球的时候性格不敌对，有点儿分裂的倾向。

(A)The football and hockey players became more hostile and aggressive during the season and remained so during the off-season, whereas there was no increase in aggressiveness among the swimmers.
A说足球员无论打球还是不打球的季节都敌对，说明他们性格本身就很敌对一点儿也不分裂。
