Question

【题目】Brazilian football star Robinho，24，started his career in the English Premier League in a way no one, including himself, ever expected.

Having rebelled (反叛）against his former club, Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, he could no longer stay. But then, he didn't have the slightest intention of going to Manchester City. Just the day before the transfer window was closed, Robinho called a press conference to tell the media that his mind was made up: He was going to Chelsea.

However, Madrid had sold him to City at the last minute, because the club made an offer far higher than Chelsea.

One of the summer, s longest-running soap operas ended dramatically, with a twist that wasn't in the script. “I wasn't even thinking about City，” Robinho admitted.

The forward is now wearing the sky blue of a club that had won nothing in 30 years, instead of the darker blue of a club that won two of the last four Premier League titles. Yet it seems the change hasn't affected the striker so far. His amazing form has shown the club that he deserves the British record transfer fee of 32，5 million they had paid. On October 26，he scored a hat-trick as Manchester City crushed (击败）Stoke 3-0. He took his City goals tally (积分）to six in eight games.

"My main objective is that the team does well, but my personal objective is that I achieve 30 goals，“ he said. "I still have a lot to give and to learn. “

Robinho is fluent in Spanish as well as his native Portuguese, but has still not started learning English. He promises that in six months, he will be able to speak the language without problem. “ My English so far is two out of 10. I haven't started ray language classes yet as I'm still living in a hotel. But as soon as I move to my own place, I will have more time for that. In six months' time, my English will be 10 out of 10. ”

【解析】[语篇解读]有西班牙媒体报道，英超俱乐部曼彻斯特城还是准备在转会市场上使出大手笔，尤其是在罗比尼奥到来后。

【1】细节判断题。根据文章第二段Having rebelled against his former club, Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, he could no longer stay. 可知，罗比尼奥最初效力于马德里队，由于他在他反叛的马德里无法再待下去，故才转会到曼彻斯特城队。

【2】细节判断题。根据文章第三段because the club made an offer far higher than Chelsea. 可知，曼彻斯特城队出的会费比切尔西要高，故罗比尼奥被他的俱乐部转会给曼彻斯特城。

【3】句意推测题。根据文章第四段最后一句罗比尼奥的话I wasn't even thinking about City可知，罗比尼奥转会到曼彻斯特城不是他的本意，对他来说这是一件未预料到的事情。故答案选D。

【4】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段My English so far is two out of 10. 和 In six months' time, my English will be 10 out of10. 可知，现在罗比尼奥的英语水平是two out of 10，而六个月后就可以达到10 out of 10的熟练程度。故答案选A。
