Besides the stirring competitions, the real reason we all have World Cup Fever is that the games speak so powerfully to the times. The competition delivers such a comforting relief, a worldly vacation from our ceaseless nightmares over the present and future.
The games allow us to enjoy the kindly, friendly aspects of globalization, not the miserable ones. Who doesn’t feel beaten down, dispirited by the latest evil expressions of globalization, the eco-meltdowns, the ongoing war casualties, the brutal global corporations—Goldman Sachs, AIG, BP and even Facebook—which have become so evidently more powerful than many nation-states. The World Cup is an attractive, charming gathering given its celebration of nations in this post-national world. This festive brand of nation-building bubbles on our screens in determined contrast to Israeli battles with Hamas or the continued world economic crisis. And what is more, the games serve us globalization to our own liking and speed. Today , I like America. Tomorrow, Spain. The next day, Uruguay. What a welcome reverse to patriotism and nationalism, but one where we can devote casual loyalty to different nations. This self-pleasing, free encounter with the world sure beats the darker news reports of the combination of Latin American drug companies, G-8 disharmony, or the disturbing Afghan-Pakistan border.
And those skillful and active and multilingual and multicolored players. How we love to cheer them, running about the field. Normally, these athletes pledge allegiance to money—whichever football club will pay them the most. But for this summer, and in this instance, they play for one nation’s glory. More than 200 million people across the globe are migrants, according to the United Nations, while one quarter of children in the USA are immigrants or children of immigrants. Who better embodies, and even transcends, the transnational flow of labor than those courageous players? Lukas Podolski (Germany), Iker Casillas (Spain), Francesc "Cesc" Fabregas (Spain), Diego Forlan (Uruguay): The footballers evoke more sympathy and pride than those other multinational worker bees—the nationless, faceless prosperous corporate managers, the seemingly inefficient U.N. and E.U. bureaucrats, and the undocumented immigrant laborers who suffer scorn worldwide.
The World Cup is just the cure for our present globalization depress. How we’ll miss those energetic games. [br] The football players better represent and even transcend the transnational flow of labor because______.
选项
答案
they evoke sympathy and pride
解析
本题考查足球运动员们是跨国劳动力最佳代表的原因。第六句是一个反问句,通过反问的形式提出一个肯定的观点。但第六句并未给出原因。下文紧接着列举出一些杰出的跨国球员,并对这些球员进行了评价,即他们能比其他任何跨国劳动力引发更多的同情和骄傲。而这个评价正是对前面问题的原因进行的说明。因此可得答案they evoke sympathy and pride。
