参考答案
【正确答案:B】
由题干中的关键词the author’s attitude to what UK government have done for sport可以再次锁定原文中关于政府的部分,可见这一题与24题是有一定联系的。第四段一开始作者提出了自己对政府的期许,但是事实上,政府却没有达到这一期许。But successive government have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. 政府负责卖地,从地方政府压榨金钱,不重视学校的体育运动。可见,此处作者指责政府的一系列行为,由此可以得出答案B。
critical:批判的; tolerant:宽容的,容忍的; uncertain:含糊的,不确定的; sympathetic:同情的,赞同的。
