　　Depending on which player you ask, the "Fevernova"ball that sports equipment maker Adidas saysprovides the ultimate soccer experience isUncontrollable, too big or just simply "stupid". Theball also has its fans, like England's David Beckham.but so far they seem to have been outnumbered bycritics.

　　Adidas says the ball. splashed with gold coloring. is quite simply the best around-25 percentmore accurate than the ball used at France 98 thanks to meticulous testing by scientists inGermany.

　　The tongue-twisting nature of its contents confirms that the World Cup ball has come a longway from the leather-and-laces variety that was common as recently as the 1960s.

　　The Fevernova's secret. Adidas says. is its radically improved Syntactic foam and uniqueknitted Raschel fabric.

　　Given that this is supposed to make the ball faster and provide the freekick specialists likeBeckham withmore power, it may not be surprising that goalkeepers like Buffon are unhappy.Spain goalkeeper Pedro Contreras said the bail acts "strangely", while Danish keeper ThomasSorensen admitted gloomily that it would probably result in more spectacular goals. "As agoalkeeper, you have to live with the fact that the makers create balls for the benefit ofstrikers." he said before leaving Copenhagen for South Korea.

　　But outfield players have also weighed in with criticism, many saying the ball is too light andtherefore hard to control. "It’s big and it's too light," Japan's Jiji news agency quoted Brazilianforward Edilsonas saying earlier this month. while striker Rivaldo said it soared too far whenkicked.

　　Journalists at the main press centre in Yokohama have been given the chance to try out theFevernova from the penalty spot, with the aim of hitting special targets in the goal. So far. fewhave been able to scoremore than five out of ten, although this may have little to do with thequality of the ball.

　　Putz. admits that the ball is on the light side of FIFA's 420 to 445 gram weight requirement. butsays it is no bigger than previous balls.

　　The controversy over the ball also has an off-pitch dimension. Industry insiders say it maybe no coincidence that players from Brazil. sponsored by Adidas rival Nike, have been amongthe ball's most vociferous critics.

　　The same might go for the praise dished out for the ball by Beckham. one of the main playersused to promote Adidas equipment.

　　参考答案：

　　1.[A]首段首句中的ultimate experience表明Adidas公司认为“飞火流星”是至今最完美的足球，因此选项A为本题答案。

　　2. [B]第3段开头的tongue-twisting表明人们对于制作“飞火流星”的材料及其功能都并不熟悉，因此选项B为本题答案。第3段表明“飞火流星”的材料经过很长时间才研制出来，并非长久以来一直在使用，由此可见。选项A不正确;第4段是Adidas公司的看法，并非作者的看法，因此选项C不符合题意;根据第2段可判断选项D也是Adidas公司的看法。而并非作者的看法。

　　3.[C]本题题干中的reluctantly是关键词，指出本题要求查找的是“飞火流星”具有的优点，而这个优点是守门员们不想面对或承认的。选项C与第5段第2句中的gloomily that it would probably result in more spectacular goals 内容相近，符合题意.为本题答案。

　　4.[D]本题要求正确理解第8段中的on the light side of FIFA's 420 to 445 gram weight requirement，该句应理解为“飞火流星”重量偏轻，但仍属于要求范围内，选项D是正确的理解，为本题答案。

　　5. [B]概括最后两段可以得知，业内人士认为对“飞火流星”的批评和称赞都与赞助公司有关，也就是说，这些评价都出于商业目的，由此可推断选项B为本题答案。选项A中的training在原文根本没有提及;末段开头的The same might go 表明的是Beckham和巴西球员对“飞火流星”做出的评价源于相似的目的，而非表明他们的评价内容相似，程度相同，因此选项C和D都不正确。
