16、ions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D, You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Long after th

17、e 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Eac

18、h 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 the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high

19、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 c

20、ase 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 referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, footbal

21、ls 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 FIFAs insistence that referees should

22、 retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.21. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _ .A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB.analyse the causes of errors made by football refe

23、reesC.set a standard for football refereeingD.reexamine the rules for football refereeing22. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _ . A. slightly C. quite unexpected B. higher than in the 1998 World Cup D. as high as in a standard match23. The findings of the experiment sh

24、ow that _.A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB.the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC.the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurD.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot24. The word “officials” (Line 3,

25、 Para.4) most probably refers to _.A.the researchers involved in the experimentB.the inspectors of the football tournament C.the referees of the football tournamentD.the observers at the site of the experiment25. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A.The ideal retirement age fo

26、r an experienced football referee is 45.B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C.A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are ba

27、sed on the following passage: While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states- at least in getting people off welfare. Its estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994. In the past four years , welfare rolls in Athens

28、 County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent - twice the national average. For advocates (代言人) for the poor, thats an indication mu

29、ch more needs to be done. “More people are getting jobs, but its not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington. A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage o

30、f single, female-headed households were earning money on their won, but that average income for these households actually went down. But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well as without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory. “Welfa

31、re was a poison. It was a toxin (毒素) that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. Its beginning to rebuild the work ethic ( 道德观) , which is much more important.” Mr.Rector and others argued t

32、hat once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.26. From the passage, it can be seen that the author _.A.believes the reform has reduced the governments burdenB.insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poorC.is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reformD.cons
