A self-described socialist and former shop steward, Sir Alex was an odd fit with the centrist Mr. Blair. Yet he was much less impressed by Blair’s successor, Gordon Brown—though he was also born in Glasgow and is a lifelong football fan. Nor could Sir Alex quarrel with New Labour’s embrace of the market. English football has become the world’s best because it pays the most: the average weekly wage in the premiership rose by 1,500% between 1992 and 2010. Sir Alex was well rewarded, too; he named his mansion Fairfields, after the ship-making factory where his father once laboured.
Sir Alex’s success was based on his enthusiastic embrace of globalisation, something too many people in Labour are still uncomfortable with. He inherited a team that contained two Danes, four Irishmen and 18 Britons. He leaves a squad with players from a dozen countries, including Serbia, Ecuador and Japan. In public-policy terms, United runs both a superb domestic education system and a liberal immigration policy. This is a lesson Labour’s current leader, Ed Miliband, badly needs to learn—having expressed regret, in a vague but toe-curling (令人厌恶的) way, that his New Labour forebears let so many foreigners in.
Oddly, perhaps the politician Sir Alex most resembles was not of Labour at all; but rather its Tory female, Margaret Thatcher. He claimed to dislike her. Yet they are similar. Both won global successes through a combination of simple truths and constant drive. Both shared aspiration and opportunity. Both made Britain great.
Sir Alex would now do well to avoid Lady Thatcher’s biggest mistake: by lingering at the scene of his triumph. He plans to stay on at United as a director and perhaps instructor to his successor, David Moyes, another able manager and working-class Scot. But such arrangement rarely works. It would be better, after such a glorious career, if he conceded that Fergie time is now over.
Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
选项
A、Mr. Blair is a conservative who supports Alex’s career.
B、Gordon Brown is a team member of Sir Alex.
C、Sir Alex has enjoyed substantial reward.
D、Sir Alex has quarreled with New Labour.
答案
C
解析
选项A对应原文:Sir Alex was an odd fit with the centrist Mr. Blair. 原文提到Mr. Blair是中立派,而非保守党派。故该项错误。选项B对应原文:He was much less impressed by Blair’s successor, Gordon Brown—though he was also born in Glasgow and is a lifelong football fan. 文章说到Gordon是Blair的继承者,而非Alex的队员,故错误。C项对应原文:Sir Alex was well rewarded, too. 故该选项是对的。D项对应原文:Nor could Sir Alex quarrel with New Labour’s embrace of the market. Nor一词表否定,选项D与原文表述相反,故错误。综上所述,本题答案为选项C。
