　　B) the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors

　　C) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur

　　D) errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot(A)

　　9. The word “officials” (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to ________.

　　B) the inspectors of the football tournament

　　C) the referees of the football tournament

　　D) the observers at the site of the experiment(C)

　　答案：BCACB

　　文章分析：典型實驗型文章，包含五大要素：目的、原理、方法、數據、結論。其中，實驗原理過于專業幾乎不考，實驗方法、數據等細節性描寫，屬于次要信息很少考到，重點關注實驗的目的與結論。

　　第6題針對mean to目的發問，對應文章開頭目的性表達。

　　第7題針對number數據發問，注意數據本身不重要，數據前或后的結論才重要，a remarkably high number是三段唯一值得關注的有效信息，high而不是higher說明原文沒有比較，是一個絕對高的數字，選項A(above)B(higher)D(as…as)都包含了比較，故排除。

　　第8題針對findings結論發問，按照出題順序，對應在文章中間的四、五段，分別由found、show引導出12兩個結論關于distance，同時由一個并列連詞also引出3第三個結論關于speed。因為原文提及出optimum (最佳的)，因此既不能過近或過遠也不能過快或過慢，故BC排除。

　　第10題針對conclusions結論發問，按順序對應在最后，末段結論45退休misguided，故A排除。原文physical condition is less critical(critical：the most important)，故C排除。D中poor physical condition的poor含義過于寬泛，意味physical condition無所謂不重要，只要有經驗就可以，而原文less critical雖非最重要，但絕對意義上仍然重要不能忽視，故D排除。
