4. C。短文讲的就是英国人对足球的狂热。
5. D。在这个长句中，主语one后带有一个of短语，而表语后带有of短语＋定语从句，文章首 句已点明本文谈的是英国，对一个陌生人来说，英国足球最让人拍案称奇的是，甚至小孩子也会对足球知之甚多。
6. A。指球队队员。

9. C。从上下文便知。
10. B。这是一个包含两个复杂分句的并列句， 中间由and连接，填空处8 he hopes系插入语，即He will tell you(he hopes) who will win...；后一分句是包含同级比较be as good as的句子。9空处指评球 才合适，全句意为：他会告诉你，他希望这场那场比赛中谁赢，而他关于足球的观点通常同成年人一样好， 那些成年人的年龄比他们大两、三倍。
