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, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will______.
选项
A、fail to succeed
B、be successful
C、lose enjoyment
D、be irrational
答案
C
解析
本题问如果运动员只想着取胜的话,他将如何。文章第一段指出,有些人提出:国际男女运动员受到的压力抹杀了体育运动的本质——追求个人卓越。孩子们把踢足球当做玩耍,等长大了些,便为本地的校队踢球,他们变得乐于竞争,但是他们仍然以比赛为乐趣。代表国家的某位运动员则不敢把体育比赛当做乐趣,而只能想到取胜,因为他们肩负着整个国家的希望、梦想和荣誉。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“他在参赛时会失去体育比赛的乐趣”。
