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] What is the author’s attitude towards international games?
选项
A、Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.
B、Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as the best in all aspects.
C、Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.
D、Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.
答案
C
解析
本题是考查作者观点的题目。想做对此题,应该找到最后一段中的这句话:But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.但是,知道你的国家获胜是很令人高兴的一件事情,这表明至少在一个领域中你的国家是最好的。在四个选项里面只有C项和这句话相符。因此应该选择C。
