{{B}}
Pretty Good{{/B}}

When Spanish football club Barcelona paid US$35 million for Ronaldinho last summer, they weren't buying a pretty face. "I am {{U}}(51) {{/U}}," admits the Brazilian superstar. "But everyone has got a different kind of beauty. What I {{U}}(52) {{/U}} have is charm."
Indeed he has. His buck teeth, flowing hair, big smile, and of course his {{U}}(53) {{/U}} skills are always eye-catching on the pitch. The 23-year-old striker scored two goals in a 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna on March 1. It was BarCelona's sixth win in a row and, thanks to their Brazilian's 10-goal contribution, {{U}}(54) {{/U}} looked like a poor season could now end a success.
Ronaldinho - full name Ronatdo De Assis Moreira - is one of many South Americans who learned their skills playing in the backstreets before {{U}}(55) {{/U}} them off on the world stage.
Great things were {{U}}(56) {{/U}} when Gremio signed him as a seven-year-old, and he soon became friends with Ronaldo, who was then the other young star of Brazilian football. It was Ronaldo who first called him Ronaldinho, which {{U}}(57) {{/U}} Little Ronaldo, and the name stuck.
He first {{U}}(58) {{/U}} for his country in 1999 but it was at the 2002 World Cup where he showed his real worth, scoring an unbelievable free-kick in Brazil's quarter-final victory {{U}}(59) {{/U}} England.
"I have never failed to deliver in big matches," Ronaldinho says. "My game is based on {{U}}(60) {{/U}} . Often a forward does not have the time to decide whether to shoot or pass. It is instinct that gives out the orders."
While he may not have David Beckham's good looks, Ronaldinho has a {{U}}(61) {{/U}} reputation off the pitch. At former club Paris Saint Germain, which sold him to Barcelona, he broke {{U}}(62) {{/U}} rules by going out and enjoying the city's nightlife.
"Without doubt, Ronaldinho is the most {{U}}(63) {{/U}} player I have ever come across," says former PSG coach Luis Ferdandez. "The main {{U}}(64) {{/U}} for any coach is that one player without discipline can hurt the whole team."
But Ronaldinho doesn't think he has done anything wrong. "I am just a young person who enjoys {{U}}(65) {{/U}}," he says.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】上文说到，“……他们不是在买一张漂亮的脸”，这就排除了“handsome”(漂亮的)、“good-looking”(好看的)和“attractive”(迷人的)。因此“ugly”(丑的)是合适的选择。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】从上文可以看出，这是一个强调句。因此“do”是合适的选择。整个句子说的是：我确实有的是魅力。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】第二段是讲Ronaldinho的魅力所在。不难看出，“amazing”(令人吃惊的)是最佳选择。“dangerous”(危险的)，“frightening”(可怕的)，“awful”(可怕的)均不合适。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】“that”，“which”，“who”填入后生成的都是不合格的句子，“what”大致相当于“that which”。

【答案解析】“showing them off”是“表现自己”的意思，是固定的说法。
【正确答案】 C

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】该段的最后一个句子是这么说的：是本能发出指令的。因此用“improvisation” (即兴)比较合适。“imagination”是“想象”，“hypotheses”是“假设”，“assumptions”也是“假设”的意思。
