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 (集体认同).”

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 (联赛) 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 (商业化), since it is causing many to turn away from the game.

1.C; 2.B; 3.A; 4.D 解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“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,来自University of Valencia(瓦伦西亚大学)的研究员Ramon Llopis是*团体FREE的一员,这个组织的目的是让人们更好地理解足球是欧洲的一种社会文化现象。瓦伦西亚大学是西班牙的一所大学,且FREE是一个*团体,由此我们可以推断出FREE是汇集了来自几个国家的研究人员共同进行研究。故选C项。 2.主旨大意题。根据第二段关键句“Llopis tells us that the research points to football as “an important presence in the daily lives of many Europeans.”可知,研究指出足球是许多欧洲人日常生活中的重要的存在。再根据第二段关键句“He adds that “football is more than an activity which is done for enjoyment. It increases a sense of collective identity (集体认同).”可知,足球不仅仅是一种*活动,它也增加了集体认同感。由此可推断出,本段主要讲的是足球的力量。故选B项。 3.细节理解题。第三段关键句“Based on the surveys carried out in the early stages of the project”意为“基于项目早期阶段进行的调查”,再根据第三段中列举的调查数据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%的人习惯*的关注比赛结果和新闻)可知,作者通过利用研究成果来解释足球是欧洲人对话中的重要的部分。故选A项。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“They should also pay attention to the increasing bad feeling surrounding football as a result of its commercialization (商业化), since it is causing many to turn away from the game.”可知,公共权威部门应该注意由于足球商业化,人们对足球的感觉越来越不好,因为这会让许多人对这项运动产生反感。由此可推断出,作者对足球商业化带来的负面影响是担心的,对欧洲足球的未来是担心的,worried意为“担心的”。故选D项。
