Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been a few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way--was it through training and practice, or are great players" born, not made" ? First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past--players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup--three from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national team--or a really great player--from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood--a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer.
For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.
Liverpool and Brazilian streets are two geographic terms used to illustrate ______.
选项
A、where soccer players get their way
B、how neighbourhood affects a soccer player’s success
C、why they can produce the best soccer teams
D、what a poor, crowded area will provide a future soccer player with
答案
D
解析
本题为句义理解题。第二段第一句指出,许多出色的球员均出自那些贫穷、拥挤的陋巷,因为对于生活在那里的孩子而言,他们的梦想不是成为像医生、律师之类的专业人士,而是成为有名的运动员或是娱乐界从业人员。而拥有英国最优秀球队之一的利物浦和成就 Pele 的巴西贫民窟街道就是两个很好的例子。
