Question

A hundred years ago, the game we now call football did not exit（存在). American football started during a game between two colleges(学院). The teams had gotten together to play what they called "football", but each team played by different rules（规则). One team played what we now call soccer. The other played what we now call rugby(橄榄球).

Both games had been invented a thousand years before. In the first kind of football game ever played, all the men from one village tried to kick a ball into another village. The men of the second village tried to kick the ball into the first. Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, ruining(毁坏)crops and knocking down fences(篱笆). In time , people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many rules were left open to change. Different rules developed in different places.

【解析】

本文主要讲述了足球的发展历程。

1.细节理解题。根据American football started during a game between two colleges(学院).可知，美式足球开始于两个学院之间的一个游戏。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据“Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, ruining(毁坏)crops and knocking down fences(篱笆).”可知A,B正确，根据“When the two colleges met to play football, each followed its own rules.”可知这样的话就会使规则很多很乱，需要去整合，故A,B,C都正确，故选D。

3.词义猜测题。in time 本身的意思是及时或经过一段时间之后，A. Gradually(逐渐地) B. Sooner or later迟早 C. More or less差不多D. Without stopping不停地

根据上下文语境，“people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many rules were left open to change.”可知人们为了保持秩序，在一些规则上需要达成一致，这需要一个慢慢地过程，所以gradually最符合题意，故选A。

4.句意猜测题。根据语境语境，“people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many rules were left open to change.”人们在一些规则上达成了一致，但是很多的规则还有待人们去改变，说明这些规则还不够完善，所以C选项“many rules had to be improved(改善)”和原文更相符，故选C。

5.推理判断题。根据原文“In what ways do you guess the game we know now will have changed in another hundred years?” 意思是: 你能猜出100年以后我们的游戏会以什么样的方式改变吗？说明在将来游戏被玩得过程中，游戏规则也会变得更加完善，故A选项最符合题意，故选A。
