河南省南阳市桐柏县方树泉中学2023~2024年秋八年级英语9月第一次月考试卷(总分100分，时间80分钟）一．阅读理解。(20×2=40分)（A）In almost（几乎） every big university（大学） in the United States, football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer.Players sometimes kick (踢) the ball, but they also throw (扔) 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 (码). They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field, they can receive six points. This is called a touch-down (持球触地).It’s difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other 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.Thousands of people come to watch it when there is a football game. They all yell for their favorite team. They dance and jump while they are yelling. Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The football season usually 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 lst. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV.(    )1.
