Part III Reading Comprehension (40%)

6

…………………………………………………………精品自学考试资料推荐………………………………………………

Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions

or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Read each passage carefully and decide on the best answer.

Passage One

Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed

refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied their victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to

study the performance of some top referees.

The researchers organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams.

Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different

referees were in charge.

Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over tournament.

Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably

high number.

The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he

found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials

got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the

case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20

meters.

There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referee was

moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per

second.

If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at

the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance,

rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.

He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If

keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

61. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to_______.( )

a standard for football referees

ine the rules for football referees

e the causes of errors made by football referees
