问题    David Beckham is the king of the football world, but it is his wife Victoria, former "Posh Spice" girl, who makes it possible. She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Royal Madrid, instead of Barcelona or Milan, it might be because of her.
   "Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria. The Collins Dictionary even has the term "Posh and Beckham" (Victoria and Beckham).
   Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United, but that was about all.
   Since he married her in 1999, he has become the most famous player British sports have ever produced, and, some say, the most influential man in the country. "When they got together, she was clearly the more popular of the two." said Andrew Parker, a sports expert at Warwick University in Britain.  "She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity."
   It’s believed that, behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckingham Palace", it is Victoria who decides everything.
   When their baby boy, Brooklyn, fell in 2000, Beckham left a United training session to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who has asked her husband to stay at home. During a trip to the United States this year, Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public. They would not have recognized him if they met him in a car park.
   She may appear to have taken a back seat, but Victoria is still at the forefront of the "Posh and Back" project.
Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham______.
选项 A、had become world-famous
B、was completely unknown
C、was an ordinary football player
D、was not so influential
答案D
解析 细节题。根据第三段和第四段第一句可知，在遇见维多利亚之前，贝克汉姆仅仅是一位受欢迎的足球运动员。而遇见辣妹之后，贝克汉姆则是名利双收。他之前并不能被称为普通或者不出名，而是一名受到欢迎并被人看好的运动员。通过比较，答案为D。
