No other sporting event captures the world's imagination like the FIFA World Cup. Ever since the
first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity and
prestige.
A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules
Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams
together to compete for the title of World Championship. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's
name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the
competition.
When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest
single sporting event of the modern world. Held since 1958 alternately in Europe and the Americas, the
World Cup broke new ground with the Executive Committee's decision in May 1996 to select Korea and
Japan as co-hosts for the 2002 edition.
Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An accumulated
audience of over 3.7 billion people watched the France 98 tournament, including approximately 1.3
billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the 64 matches in the French
stadia.
After all these years and so many changes, however, the main focus of the FIFA World Cup
remains the same - the glistening golden trophy, which is the embodiment of every footballer's ambition.
20. The text is about _____.
A. the World Champion
B. the FIFA World Cup
C. the golden trophy
D. football
21. Who is believed to be responsible for the original idea of competing for the title of World
Championship?
A. Jules Rimet
B. French football administrators
C. The FIFA
D. The Executive Committee
22. The word it in paragraph 3 refers to ‘_____’.
A. the Second World War
B. the gold trophy
C. the competition
D. the FIFA World Cup

A. bore Jules Rimet's name
B. was held three times in the 1930
C. resumed in 1958
D. was halted by the outbreak of the war

A. It was the second World Cup held in Asia.
B. It broke a new ground.
C. It was held in Korea in cooperation with Japan.
D. It was decided in May 1996.
