American football is not like soccer.Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field(场地), they receive six points. This is called a touch—down. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to watch. They all yell（呼喊）for their favorite team. Young men and women called cheerleaders come on the field to help the people yell more. They dance and jump while they yell.Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1st, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on television.( ) 46.

Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲). It’s important for us to eat our meal at regular(规律)time each day. When we feel worry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges often decided whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow(吞)the bread, it meant that he wasn’t telling the truth. Though this seems strange and foolish they thought it was good way of finding out truth. A man who is worrying something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.( )51. Good eating habits make us ________.A. strongerB. happierC. more beautifulD. more polite( )52.

A person who feels ________ may not want to eat.A. happyB. shyC. unhappyD. wellD、任务型阅读American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Oft en, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say ―I dunno‖ instead of ―I don’t know.‖ Or they may say ―Whaddya say?‖ instead of ―What did you say?‖ However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.(3)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone yo ur friends, you ―phone them up‖. In America, you ―give them a call‖. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say ―Cheerio!‖ In America you might say ―See you later.‖There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb ―do‖ when they ask a question. They say ―Do you have a storybook?‖ But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say ―Have you a storybook?‖All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French. (4)但是他们的法语和法国的法语不一样。
