胡鸿回答：

　　1.B 　　2.B 　　3.A 　　分析：　　运动场上的主场效应。　　1.weremorelikelytoflashyellowcardsandawardpenaltiesagainsttouringplayersthanthehosts”（亮黄牌，裁定判罚），故该动作的执行者是B.Referees. 　　2.ItpredictedthattheLondonhomeadvantagewouldboostBritain'smedalhaulbyasmuchas25％．”（它预测伦敦的主场优势将会推动英国的奖牌总数会提升25％。）中，主语“它”、谓语“预测”和宾语从句的内容与英国相关，这所有都对应了B处的前一句主语和谓语部分“UKSportagovernmentagencystudiedtheresultsofmorethan100bigtournamentsacross14Olympicsports.”，且在B空填入该句，也使得B空的下一句话中“Asitturnedout，”（结果表明），水到渠成、顺理成章。故正确答案为B. 　　3.Giventhesenumbersitisnotsurprisingthatteamshavepouredmoneyintomaximizingtheirhomeadvantage.”可知，考虑到这些数据（主场作战带来更多的胜利），那么球队不惜投入重金来最大化其主场优势就不足为奇了，故排除C.又由文章第二段中“becausetheyreliedonthesplit-secondriseinthehomecrowd'sroarasaremindertodetermineifatackledeservedpunishment”可知，球迷的呐喊声会一定程度上左右裁判的裁定，故可推知球迷们会加大呐喊声为其球队加油助威，所以该题的正确答案为A. 　　考点：　　说明文的阅读
