fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing 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 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, footballs 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 retire at age 45 may be misguided. if keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.36. 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 refereesc. set a standard for football refereeingd. reexamine the rules for football refereeing37. the number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _.a. slightly above averageb. higher than in the 1998 world cupc. quite unexpectedd. as high as in a standard match38. the findings of the experiment show 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 errors will occurd. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot39. the word “officials” (para. 4) most probably refers to _.a. the researchers involved in the experimentb. the inspectors of the football tournamentc. the referees of the football tournamentd. the observers at the site of the experiment40. what is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?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. dwhat do you do if you dont get into your first choice of university? thats the dilemma that faces thousands of british students every year.many candidates turn to clearing, the service that helps find university places for students at the last moment. if they dont have the marks to get into their first choice of institution, clearing tells them about places available at other universities, though they might have to read another subject. but this year has seen a record number of people applying to university. this, combined with the weak economy, an uncertain job market and budget cuts at universities, means that theres been even more of a scramble for places than usual. some sources say six students have applied for each remaining undergraduate university place.the british university admissions service, ucas, says up to a quarter of this years university applicants - almost 190,000 people - still dont have a place on a degree course. thats a rise of over 46,000 students from last year.faced with these figures, some british students might be thinking of an interesting alternative: studying abroad. the university of nottingham, for example，is offering places at its campuses in ningbo, near shanghai, and kuala lumpur, malaysia. students here can gain university of nottingham degrees in business, accounting, engineering and english. similarly, the university of bolton says it has unlimited places at its campus in the united arab emirates.given the problems getting into university, the uks higher education minister, david willetts, encourages students who havent made the grade to consider alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and studying at home.there are a range of options available, he says. people are able to reapply. they should think how they can spend their year adding that bit to their cv, which would help their application - getting practical work experience or extra skills - anything that strengthens their chances next year.but some experts say that rising university costs, poor long-term job prospects, and a drop in graduate recruitment mean its the worst time to be a university student in the uk.41. when the author says this year “theres been more of a scramble for places” (para. 3), he means_.a. more people have applied to universityb. there is more competition between the candidatesc. there are more services that help find university placesd. more places are available42. according to ucas, there are about _university applicants this year.a. 190,000 b. 46, 000 c. 236, 000 d. 760, 00043. david willetts encourages students faced with the lack of places on a degree course _.a. to consider apprenticeships and studying at homeb. to study at campus outside the ukc. to reapply next year d. not to go to university in the uk44. which of the following is not the reason that may make this year the worst time to enter university?a. it costs more to study at university. b. long-term job prospects are worse.c. universities offer places in other countries. d. there are fewer chances to do graduate study.45. according to the passage, what can students do if they dont get into their first choice of university?a. they can go to work in clearing.b. they can get practical work experience or skills and reapply next year.c. they can spend the year writing a better cv.d. they do graduate study at home.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）首先请阅读下列课程介绍：a .office systems
