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.
According to the passage, the United States______.
选项
A、has begun to give much attention to football
B、is fond of playing football
C、has won the football World Cup
D、is getting sick of football
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问文章中指出美国如何。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章第二段中找到相关的信息。这段指出,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。由于美国认真严肃地真正参与,使这项运动显得更为重要。由此我们可以推断出,美国开始重视足球赛了。因此,本题的正确答案应是A。
