问题     A soccer referee suspended (吊销执照) for scoring a goal while taking charge of a game has resigned after being found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by the Essex County Football Association. The Essex County Football Association said that they were disappointed by the decision of Savill, who hit the headlines last year when his sympathy for a team getting beaten 18- 1 went too far. "It is a pretty unique case and hopefully it won’t happen again," said Essex County FA chief executive Phil Sammons.
    Brian Savill was taking charge of a Great Bromley Cup game in the south of England between Earls Colne Reserves and Wimpole 2000. With 10 minutes remaining and Wimple getting beaten 18- 1, Savill found the ball at his feet in front of the Earls Colne goal and immediately banged it into the net, before signaling a goal.
    The laws of the game state that the referee is part of the playing area and that the game continues if the ball strikes him.  There is no item in the laws to differentiate between an accidental or deliberate (故意的) touch of the ball. Savill’s bizarre (匪夷所思的) goal made little difference to the outcome as Earls Colne went on to win 20-2, but the officials were impressed.  The Essex County Football Association finally found 47-year-old Savill guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and suspended him for seven weeks. Savill, a referee with 18 years’ experience, resigned after finding out about the decision.  "They haven’t got a sense of humor," he told The Times newspaper.  "It brought enjoyment to everyone’s lives. It shows refereeing can be enjoyable and that we are not Hitlers running blowing whistles all the time. " However, he advised other referees against following his example.  
Savill resigned because ______.
选项 A、he felt he set a bad example for other referees
B、he found the audience was indignant at his behavior
C、he was blamed for not knowing the sports law imposed by the association
D、he didn’t expect the football association to suspend him
答案D
解析 推断题。文中两次提及Savill辞职，尾段第四、五句说他得知足协中止他裁判资格7周的决定后就辞职了，故他认为自己不应该受到这种处理，即D。A说他觉得自己给其他裁判树立了坏榜样，这不是他内心的真实感受；B中的“观众很气愤”是未提及信息，C中的“他不了解体育规则”与事实相反，他是为了“幽默”才违反规定的。答案为D。
