第1题：

本题考查考生理解基础上的推理引申能力。文章第一段后面部分讲述了作者观看电视高尔夫球赛时的悠然自得的感受。第二段首句则指出“为快乐通常要付出代价”。该段接下来的内容则开始比较观看球赛和实际打球之间的巨大差异：观看球赛时，可以听到评论员分析球员的挥杆。对观看的人来说，它是单一的持续的，而且看不到难度动作，但经过慢动作和一些虚拟的黑板图表的处理后，它就成了一系列复杂的缓慢的身体各个部位的协调动作。人们看到的是流动性，而在专家眼里则成了几何图形，对观众来说很自然的东西，对他们来说却是机械原理。第二段末句作者总结指出，比赛看上去的简单明了和实际需要的不可思议的精确度之间存在很大的差异。因此二段首句中的“快乐”指的是观看球赛的轻松状态，而“代价”则指的是现实中比赛所要求的东西。而这些必要的东西在观看时丧失了。［D］项是作者暗示的内容。 ［B］、［C］项提到的费用问题在文中根本未涉及。［A］项不是作者观点。

D.If I should have time, I would study French
答案：B
解析：条件句可分为两类，一类为真实条件句，一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设或实际可能性不大的甚至完全不可能发生的情况，故采用虚拟语气。
A选项中，if+主语+一般过去时表示与现在事实相反，为虚拟语气；B选项中，if引导的是一个一般现在时的条件状语从句，为真实条件句；C选项中，if+主语+had done表示与过去事实相反，为虚拟语气；D选项中，if+主语+should do表示与将来事实相反，为虚拟语气。题干意为：下列条件句中那个是真实条件，所以答案选B。
