Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswom-en kills the essence of sport-the pursuit of personal excellence.
Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competi-tive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, and he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention "Argentina" to someone, and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup "put Argentina on the map."
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in Eng-land felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money travel-ing to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not!(77) Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skilful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best. [br] According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its ______.
选项
A、large number of sports fans and supporters
B、success in the football World Cup
C、obvious position on the map
D、excellence at most important sports
答案
B
解析
本题其实考查的是对winning the World Cup“put Argentina on the map”这句话的理解,把阿根廷放到地图上其实就是说让全世界的人都知道阿根廷,而获得世界杯是让阿根廷知名度提升的原因。理解了这句话,这道题的答案B也就不说自明了。
