Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen 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 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 entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the third 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 unreasonable 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 traveling 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 the best.
What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?
选项
A、To explain the role of sport.
B、To compare Scotland with Argentina.
C、To show that Argentina is better than all others.
D、To prove that football is the world’s most important sport.
答案
A
解析
综观全文,作者在文章的首句就提出了运动的本质和作用(the essence of sport),随后作者都是围绕这一主题论述的。所以A选项是正确的(role和essence是同义词),而其他三项都是事实和细节。建议考生在做主旨大意题时,最关键和最有效的方法就是迅速找出文章的主题句(topic sentence),找到了主题句就确定了文章的主题思想。
