Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill 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 competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hope, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. 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 England 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 travelling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful 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 best. [br] In the second paragraph, the word "summit" means______.
选项
A、highest point
B、mountain top
C、award
D、summary
答案
A
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问第二段中的单词summit是什么意思。词汇summit指“巅峰、最高点”,掌握此词汇的人可以直接找到正确答案A。另外我们也可以根据文章上下文推断出来。文章指出,世界杯足球赛便是个很好的例子。足球是世界上一项最重要的体育运动。由于美国的真正参与,使这项运动显得更为重要。赢得世界杯也许是国际体育比赛中的最大胜利。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“最高荣誉、巅峰、最高点”。
