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.
What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?
选项
A、To prove that football is the world’s most important sport.
B、To show that Argentina is better than all others.
C、To compare Scotland with Argentina.
D、To explain the role of sport.
答案
D
解析
此题考查的是考生对文章总体观点的认识。Football is the world’s most important sport是第二段中的原话,这只是文章中普通的一句话,并不代表作者的观点,因此A项认为本文的目的是去证明这句话显然是错误的。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.仅仅因为阿根廷足球队的11名队员证明了他们是在足球领域技艺最高超的,阿根廷的人们就认为阿根廷在各个方面都是世界上最好的吗?不是这样的。从以上这句话可以看出B项也是错误的。文章中根本没有拿阿根廷和苏格兰做比较,C项显然不对。因此本题应该选择D。
