問題詳情：

Researcher Ramon Llopis of the University of Valencia is a member of the international group behind Football Research in an Enlarged Europe (FREE), the aim of which is to develop a better understanding of football as a social and cultural phenomenon in Europe. The starting point is the “strong belief that football has important things to say about Europe and its citizens”.

Llopis tells us that the research points to football as “an important presence in the daily lives of many Europeans. Even people who are not particularly interested in the sport cannot avoid the discussions it creates regardless of age, class and region.” He adds that “football is more than an activity which is done for enjoyment. It increases a sense of collective identity (集體認同).”

Football is a topic of exchange and conversation between Europeans of different ages and social classes. Based on the surveys carried out in the early stages of the project, 63.3%of people who call themselves football fans have chatted about football with someone from another European country in the past twelve months, 70%of football fans watch matches and summaries from leagues (聯賽) outside of their country of origin, and 53.4% habitually follow the results and news from other European leagues on the Internet and social media.

So, rather than consider professional football as an economic activity or a healthy activity for both players and fans, public authorities should be aware of its huge socio-cultural impact. They should also pay attention to the increasing bad feeling surrounding football as a result of its commercialization (商業化), since it is causing many to turn away from the game.

【回答】

1.C; 2.B; 3.A; 4.D 解析：1.細節理解題。根據第一段關鍵句“Researcher Ramon Llopis of the University of Valencia is a member of the international group behind Football Research in an Enlarged Europe (FREE), the aim of which is to develop a better understanding of football as a social and cultural phenomenon in Europe.”可知,來自University of Valencia(瓦倫西亞大學)的研究員Ramon Llopis是*團體FREE的一員,這個組織的目的是讓人們更好地理解足球是歐洲的一種社會文化現象。瓦倫西亞大學是西班牙的一所大學,且FREE是一個*團體,由此我們可以推斷出FREE是彙集了來自幾個國家的研究人員共同進行研究。故選C項。 2.主旨大意題。根據第二段關鍵句“Llopis tells us that the research points to football as “an important presence in the daily lives of many Europeans.”可知,研究指出足球是許多歐洲人日常生活中的重要的存在。再根據第二段關鍵句“He adds that “football is more than an activity which is done for enjoyment. It increases a sense of collective identity (集體認同).”可知,足球不僅僅是一種*活動,它也增加了集體認同感。由此可推斷出,本段主要講的是足球的力量。故選B項。 3.細節理解題。第三段關鍵句“Based on the surveys carried out in the early stages of the project”意為“基於專案早期階段進行的調查”,再根據第三段中列舉的調查資料63.3%of people(63.3%的人),70%of football fans(70%的足球迷)和53.4% habitually follow the results(53.4%的人習慣*的關注比賽結果和新聞)可知,作者通過利用研究成果來解釋足球是歐洲人對話中的重要的部分。故選A項。 4.推理判斷題。根據最後一段關鍵句“They should also pay attention to the increasing bad feeling surrounding football as a result of its commercialization (商業化), since it is causing many to turn away from the game.”可知,公共權威部門應該注意由於足球商業化,人們對足球的感覺越來越不好,因為這會讓許多人對這項運動產生反感。由此可推斷出,作者對足球商業化帶來的負面影響是擔心的,對歐洲足球的未來是擔心的,worried意為“擔心的”。故選D項。
