分析 本文主要講述了荷蘭足球巨星約翰•克魯伊夫傳奇的一生,他以精準(zhǔn)的速度、技巧和得分及執(zhí)教能力,為足球運(yùn)動(dòng)設(shè)立了新的標(biāo)桿.
解答 24.C 主旨大意題.縱觀全文可知,本文主要講述了荷蘭足球巨星約翰•克魯伊夫傳奇的一生,他以精準(zhǔn)的速度、技巧和得分及執(zhí)教能力,為足球運(yùn)動(dòng)設(shè)立了新的標(biāo)桿.故選C.
25.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的Growing up near the stadium of AFC Ajax,thelocal soccer club,the youngster caught the attention of a team official and joined theyouth division at age 10.可知,約翰•克魯伊夫在當(dāng)?shù)氐陌①Z克斯足球俱樂部附近長大,他引起了一位球隊(duì)官員的注意,10歲時(shí)加入了青年隊(duì).所以阿賈克斯俱樂部的教練最早發(fā)現(xiàn)了他的天賦,故選B.
26.A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的Barcelona won four continuous La Liga titles from1991 to 1994 under Cruyff,可知,在克魯伊夫的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下,巴塞羅那隊(duì)從1991年到1994年,連續(xù)四次奪得西甲聯(lián)賽冠軍.所以根據(jù)畫線前的who remained influential at the club他在巴塞羅那足球俱樂部內(nèi)依舊很有影響力.可知此處指甚至在克魯伊夫于1995年辭去教練后,故選A.
27.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段克魯伊夫名言:踢足球是很簡單的,但簡單的足球比賽是最難的事情.我不相信上帝.在西班牙,所有22名球員要超越自己.沒有結(jié)果的質(zhì)量是沒有意義的.沒有質(zhì)量的結(jié)果是令人厭煩的.可知他對(duì)足球有著自己獨(dú)到的理解.故選D.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是新聞報(bào)道類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí),首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
