When Spanish football club Barcelona paid US$35 million for Ronaldinho last summer, they weren't buying a pretty face. "I am 1 ," admits the Brazilian superstar. “But everyone has got a different kind of beauty. What I 2 have is charm."

It was Barcelona's sixth win in a 7 and, thanks to their Brazilian's 10-goal contribution, 8 looked like a poor season could now end a success.

He first 10 for his country in 1999 but it was at the 2002 World Cup where he showed his real 11 ，scoring an unbelievable free-kick in Brazil's quarter-final victory 12 England.

答案及解析：
1. C上下文题根据下文的buck teeth龅牙，可以推断出选C。
2. B语法题must have表示肯定的推测；will have “将会拥有（将来时表 达法）” ；could have “可以有” ；do have表示强调。故选B。
3. D词义辨析题smart “聪明的，伶俐的，快的，敏捷的” ；intelligent“聪明的，有才智的，有头脑的” ；brilliant “极聪明的，技艺精湛的，才华横溢的”。这三个近义词中只有brilliant可以修饰技能，而awful “极坏 的，极讨厌的，可怕的”；不符合上下文。故选D。
4. B 习惯用法题eye-catching “引人注目的，令人注意的（尤指悦目 者）”。其余都是干扰项。
5. D词义辨析题四个词都表示场地，court “（网球等的室内或室外）球 场” ；field “辽阔的地方，原野，旷野” ；ground “(泛指）场地” ：a football/cricket/sports ground；pitch “(足球、曲棍球等的）球场”。此处谈论足球，故选D。
6. A 习惯用法题score the goal “进球”。
7. B 习惯用法题a series “一系列” ；in a row “一个接一个地，连续不断 地” ；at a time “一次” ；in a sense “从某种程度上说”。
8. D语法题that, which, who只能充当关系代词，指代前面的名词并在 从句中充当主语或宾语。此处前面的名词为contribution,并不能充当下面 从句的主语。而what为名词性代词可以直接充当句子主语。此处句意为“本来似乎很糟糕的一个赛季现在却以大胜告终”。
9. A 习惯用法题能与下文off搭配的词唯有show, show off “展现，炫 耀”。
10. C词义辨析题kick “踢” ；serve “为（某人）工作，供职，服役（如 在军队里）” ；play “踢球” ；act “做某事，采取行动”。此处指在国家 队踢球。
11. C词义辨析题value是指以钱或其他物品为衡量的价值；worth除了指 一定金额的价值外，还可以指用处、价值。此处是指罗纳尔迪尼奧作为足 球运动员的价值。故选C。
12. A 习惯用法及上下文题a victory over sb. “战胜……”。上文出现过"a 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna on March 1."
13. D上下文题根据下文“通常前锋是没有时间考虑该射球或传球”，可见 他在场上表现不是基于判断、冷静或勇气，而是improvisation临场反应。
14. D 常识题shoot or pass “射球或传球”。move, run只是跑动，不涉及 球’与shoot不对称。
15. B词义辨析题及上下文题根据上下文，因为没有时间考虑只能靠直觉 行动，可排除experience。instinct是指动物本能；intuition是在经验基础上 形成的直觉反应；impulse指一时冲动。故选B。
16. B逻辑关系及词义辨析题根据下文可判断此处为表示让步的从句，排 除when, even。而while引导的让步状语从句在意义上一般与主句的对比 不太强烈，即主句与从句只是部分不一致；而although在表示让步语义时 是最为通用的从属连词，所引导的从句往往使主句内容含有似乎使人感到 意外或料想不到之意。例如：(1) While I admit his good points, I can see his shortcomings.尽管我承认他的优点，我也能看到他的缺点。（2) While I like the color of the hat, I don't like its shape.虽然我喜欢这顶帽子的颜色，但不 喜欢这种式样。(3) Although my car is very old, it still runs very well.虽然我的汽车很旧 了，但跑起来挺不错。（4) He brought me a cup of coffee although I had asked for tea.虽然我要的是茶，他却给我端来一杯咖啡。
17. C 词义辨析题cowboy “牛仔” ；good boy “好孩子” ；playboy “花花 公子” ；college boy “学院派”。根据下文"he broke club rules by going out and enjoying the city's nightlife."可选C。
18. A 习惯用法题on the pitch “在球场上” ；off the pitch “下了球场，业余 时间”。
19. A词义辨析题difficult “（指人）不易取悦的，不易满足的，不易相处 的，不愿合作的，执拗的” ；cooperative “有合作精神的” ；diligent “勤 奋的” ；hard “(政治斗争中）持强硬态度的，不妥协的”。根据下文“教练碰到的最大问题是一个队员不服从纪律会影响整个队伍的发挥。” 可见罗纳尔迪尼奥是一个不守规矩的人，故选A。
20. D 习惯用法及词义辨析题come by sth. “得到某事物（通常靠努 力）’’ ：Jobs are hard to come by these days.近来很难找至工作；come over sb.(指某种感觉）刺激或影响某人：A fit of dizziness came over her.她感到 一阵头晕目眩；come into sth. “继承某事物” ；come across sb./sth. “偶然 遇见或发现某人（某事物），碰见”。此处意为“罗纳尔迪尼奧是我所见 过的最难带的队员”。故选D。
