队没有参加俄罗斯世界杯并没有妨碍中国球迷参加这次令人兴奋的体育盛会。句中的exhilaration意为“thrill(激动）”。
2.A推理判断题。根据第二段第一句中的“ItisnosecretthatChinahasakeyroleinourplantodevelopfootballaroundtheglobe.Itmustplay.”可知，中国在推广足球方面将会起到巨大的作用，故A项正确。
3.B推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“Hopefully，theWorldCupwillencouragethedecision-makerstofocusonordinarypeopletodevelopthesport.”可知，作者建议中国的政策制定者能够鼓励普通人参与到足球推广运动中来。接着用了乒乓球在中国普通人中流行的例子来告诉我们如何在中国推广一项运动，故B项正确。
4.B推理判断题。本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了中国元素在俄罗斯世界杯上大放异彩，中国球迷以及中国企业深度参与了这届世界杯。所以本文最可能是从报纸上摘录而来的。
