问题 Long after the 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. 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 the 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 analyse 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 referees were 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. (286 words)
What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?

选项 A、The ideal retirement age for 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.

答案B

解析本题属于综合推论题。文中最后两段谈到研究员在他研究基础上对足球赛裁决事宜的两点看法。从最后一段我们可判断出A是错误的，B是正确的，C并未在文中提到，而D夸大了文中最后一句话：“their physical condition is less critical．”身体状况也不是像原来所认为的那样至关重要，但是身体素质差也不可能做好裁判工作。
