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.
Which of the following is best supported by the fourth paragraph?
选项 A、People still like Victoria better than Beckham.
B、People liked to see Beckham and Victoria together.
C、To a large degree, Beckham owes his popularity to Victoria.
D、Sports experts used to think little of Beckham.
答案C
解析 大意理解题。由第四段第一句可知，自从二人结婚以后，维多利亚把小贝成功带入名人圈，使他成为最具影响力的英国人之一。所以，很大程度上贝克汉姆的成功归功于维多利亚。
