参考答案
1．A 根据下文中的“stand out（杰出，出色，突出）”可知，真正极好的球员只有几个。truly意为“真正地”，修饰形容词great，符合语境。
2．D 并列连词and连接两个并列的成分，四个选项中只有practicing（练习）与training能并列，意思相近，故选D项。
3．B 根据“not trained”可知，杰出的球员既然不是通过训练而变得优秀，那么就是天生就很优秀。故选B项。
4．A admire意为“钦佩”；adopt意为“采用，收养”；appeal意为“吸引，呼吁，上诉”；appreciate意为“欣赏，感激”。这些杰出的球员在很小的时候就钦佩和模仿他们所在地区杰出的球员。
5．D 根据上文第一句话“Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world，but there have only been few players who were ______ great．”可知，此处是指在足球历史上。
6．C 根据上一句“In the history of... from Western Europe．”可知，北美和亚洲还从来没产生过一个好的国家足球队或球员。never意为“从不”，符合语境，故选C项。
7．A 本句话是通过列举Alfredo Di Stefano的例子来说明“...these players have all had years of practice in the game．”。故选A项。
8．D 此处所填的词应该与poor相呼应，A、B、C三项皆为褒义词，只有crowded意为“拥挤的”，与poor吻合，故选D项。
9．B engineer意为“工程师”；entertainer意为“艺人”；investor意为“投资者”；designer意为“设计师”。根据常识可知选B项。
10．A approach意为“方法”，常与介词to搭配，符合语境，故选A项。B项意为“目的地”；C项意为“联系”；D项意为“象征”。
11．C 根据下文中的“...by bouncing the ball off the wall...”可知，球如果是使用木头、石头、钢铁制成的话，不可能会弹跳起来，故只有用破布（rags）制成。
12．B George Best学会了在贫民窟的墙上拍球的诀窍，这使他变得很著名。A项意为“满意的”；B项意为“著名的，出名的”；C项意为“惊讶的”；D项意为“投入的”。故选B项。
13．C 上文提到一些杰出的球员所拥有的三个共同点，所以share（共享，分享）符合语境。句意为：所有的足球运动员可能都享有某些共性。
14．D 根据第一段第一句话“Soccer is played by ... who were ______ great．”可知选D项。
15．B set apart意为“使分离，分开”，符合语境。句意为：最好的运动员天生就具有某些独特的品质，这些品质把他们从所有其他人中分离开。
