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.  [br] Which of the following is true according to the passage?
选项 A、Savill’s goal was of great help to the Wimpole team.
B、What Savill had done was quite rare among referees.
C、The game was interrupted because of Savill’s sense of humor.
D、A game must be stopped if the ball strikes the referee.
答案 B
解析 细节题。分别对四个选项进行定位，根据尾段第三句made little difference，A错；尾段首句说，赛规说裁判碰球后比赛可以继续，不管是有意还是无意的，故选项D错。文中未提及比赛当时中止，故C错。答案为B，否则Savill也不会成为新闻人物。
