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, 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 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.( ) 41.

Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They became dropouts.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in the school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.( ) 46. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．The Trouble in Japanese Schools B．The Problems of Japanese StudentsC．The Pressures of the Students in Japan D．Education in Japan( ) 47. “Dropouts” are those who ___.A．make troubles in and out of schools B．go about or stay home instead of being at school C．try hard but always fail in the exams D．lose hope and give up some of their subjects ( )48. Why do Japanese students work very hard at school and feel unhappy?A．They want to find a good job. B．They want to pass exams.C．They’re under pressure from their parents. D．They’re not clever enough.( ) 49. Failure in examinations cause students to ___.A．chop out of school B．quarrel with their parentsC．go to schools opening on weekends. D．have their parents lose hope( ) 50. According t o the passage, it’s necessary to teach students ___.A．how to study well B．how to get on with othersC．to show love and care for others D．all above(D)In the United States and Canada, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee.Here are some kinds people always say. “Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?” “Hey, we are having a party on Friday. Can you come?” To answer an invitation, people also say thank you or accept, or say sorry and give an excuse. Sometimes, people say like invitations but they are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.”“Let’s get together for lunch soon.” They are not invitations because they don’t talk about the date or time. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To answer this, people just say “Sure, that would be great.”Or “OK, thank you.”So next time you hear what is like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?根据短文内容回答问题：51 Do people in the US often invite friends to dinner?52 If you get an invitation, what would you say first?53 Sometimes, do people say like invitations but they are not real invitations?54 Is it a real invitation when people say “Come over for a cup of coffee sometime, please”?55 Why do people say this if they don’t really want to invite their friends to come?卷二一．补全对话（共10分）1.A: What’s up?B: I need help.
