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.
What is the author’s attitude towards international games?
选项
A、Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.
B、Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.
C、Nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least.
D、Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.
答案
C
解析
本题是一道态度语气类问题。问作者对国际体育比赛的态度是什么。根据文章最后一段的内容:那么,我的意思是不是说国际比赛抹杀了运动的本来含义呢?当然不是!请问,阿根廷人是否真的以为他们的11个人证明足球踢得最好,所以,他们的国家就比其他国家各方面都好些呢?事实并非如此。不过,得知你的国家取胜是件喜事,它让你知道,起码在某一方面你的国家最优秀。由此我们可以推知,本题的答案应是C“作者认为赢得了国际体育比赛的国家至少证明了它在体育方面是最好的”。
