Vozinha is a football goalkeeper from Cape Verde (佛得角). When he walked onto the World Cup field, he had a simple wish: he hoped his mother could watch his game in person. At first, this dream seemed impossible. His mom had no passport, and visa (签证) fees stopped her from flying to the US.
After Vozinha cried and shared his wish in an interview, his words spread quickly online. Lots of people, sports groups and US officials decided to give him a hand. They worked together to solve all travel problems for his mother Ana Candida Evora.
Ana spent over 24 hours traveling to the US. It was her first time leaving her home country. At the airport, FIFA workers and volunteers welcomed her warmly. She could finally sit in the stadium and cheer for her son.
1.1.What was Vozinha’s wish?
A His mom could watch him playing.
B He could win every football game.
C He could get many new fans.
D He could travel to the US alone.
解析:选A。A 细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到Vozinha的愿望:“he hoped his mother could watch his game in person”,他希望妈妈能亲自看他比赛。选项A“His mom could watch him playing”与此直接对应。选项B“赢得每场比赛”、选项C“获得许多新粉丝”和选项D“独自去美国旅行”在文中均未作为他的愿望出现,因此只能选A。
2.2. How did people know about Vozinha’s wish?
A From the newspaper.
B From an online video.
C From his mother.
D From the FIFA officials.
解析:选B。B推理判断题。文章第二段说,Vozinha在一次采访中哭着分享了自己的愿望,随后“his words spread quickly online”。由此可以推断,人们是通过网络上的采访视频或报道得知他的愿望的,选项B“From an online video”最为合理。选项A的报纸文中未提及;选项C的妈妈并未对外传播;选项D的FIFA官员是在愿望传开后才参与帮助的。因此选B。
3.3. How long did Ana spend on her trip to the US?
A Less than one day.
B About twenty hours.
C More than a full day.
D Over two days.
解析:选C。C 细节理解题。文章第三段直接说明:“Ana spent over 24 hours traveling to the US”,她花了超过24小时。24小时即为整整一天,因此选项C“More than a full day”准确。选项A“不到一天”与over 24小时矛盾;选项B“大约20小时”不够;选项D“超过两天”意味着48小时以上,文中并未体现。故选C。
4.4. What was the most important thing to Ana?
A Her son’s online popularity.
B Seeing her son fulfill his dream.
C Getting free plane tickets.
D Meeting lots of football fans.
解析:选B。B 细节理解题。最后一段指出,对Ana来说名声完全不重要,“The best gift was to watch her son realize his big dream”,最好的礼物就是看到儿子实现梦想。这与选项B“Seeing her son fulfill his dream”意思一致。选项A是儿子在网上的人气,文中明确说这不重要;选项C和D的免费机票和见球迷均未提及其对Ana的重要性。故选B。
5.5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A How to play football well in the World Cup.
B Why people need to get a visa to travel.
C The hard training of a football goalkeeper.
D A touching story about a mother and son.
解析:选D。D主旨大意题。全文讲述了一名足球门将希望妈妈到现场看自己比赛的愿望,在众人帮助下得以实现,展现了一段感人的母子故事。选项A教如何踢好世界杯、选项B说明签证用途、选项C讲述门将的艰苦训练,这些都与文章重心不符。因此全文主旨是选项D“一个关于母子的感人故事”。故选D。
