4.A根據上文“Iwasindoingwhatmybigsisterdid”可知,此處是指不能成為一名足球運動員讓“我”很難過。故選A項。

5.C根據“bytellingmethatwomen’sfootballwas‘great’andthatIcouldplayifIwantedto”可知,此處是指他立即回應。故選C項。6.D根據下文“I’dneverseenawomen’sfootballmatchonTV”可知,此處是指“我”覺得沒人看女足。故選D項。7.D根據下文“I’dneverseenawomen’sfootballmatchonTV(我從來沒有在電視上看過女子足球比賽)”可知,此處是指橄欖球和足球等運動是男孩的事。8.B根據“I’dneverseenawomen’sfootballmatchonTV”可知,此處是指聽說過的唯一的女運動員。9.A根據“ScotlandintheWorldCup”可知,此處是指英格蘭母獅隊將在世界杯上迎戰蘇格蘭隊。故選A項。10.B根據“women’sfootballhastobeoneofFIFA’sinvestments”可知,turnedout符合句意。故選B項。

11.D根據“andonly￡24millionprizemoneywasawardedtothewomen’sWorldCupvictors”可知,此處是指大多數頂級女足球員的收入都低于人們所認為的公平工資。故選D項。12.A根據“only￡24millionprizemoneywasawardedtothewomen’sWorldCupvictors”和“with￡3
