17、WomanD. Two Teenage HeroesCThe 90-minute long game involves two goals, black and white checkered balls, goalkeeper, and no hand use. This sport, of course, is soccer or football, as the majority of the rest of the world says. Its confusing that some countries call this sport “football” while America
18、ns and Canadians say “soccer”, but apparently the British are mostly to blame. The name confusion is actually thanks to British universities in the early 1800s who tried standardizing various sports games that had different rules and regulations to differentiate between them, according to a paper by
19、 Stefan Szymanski, a professor of sports economics at the University of Michigan.Rugby, formerly known as “rugby football” or “rugger”, is a translation of “football” where you can use your hands. Soccer, originally “association football” or “asoccer”, is the traditional translation of “football” wh
20、ere people dont use their hands. People in England started shortening the names by dropping the “association” part of the phrase as well as the “a” in “asoccer”, per Szymanskis paper. If your head hurts from thinking about this, prepare to have your mind blown by these things you probably never thou
21、ght about until just now.Now comes the complexity: in 1869, Rutgers and Princeton colleges held the first traditional, recorded, football game using a unique combination of rules from both rugby and soccer, creating what we know as “American football” and what other countries refer to as “gridiron”.
22、 Thanks to the popularity of American football, soccer players in America keep to “soccer” to help differentiate themselves, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.If the name “soccer” stuck in Britain, and if Americans came up with a better one for American football, there would be much less conf
23、usion. So why did the “football” short kind of “association football” become more popular than “soccer” in England anyway? Originally, American influence on Britain during World War II made “soccer” the popular term in England before the 1980s, The Atlantic reports. Once the sport became more popula
24、r in the United States around that time, the British stopped using “soccer”. Szymanskis paper claims it could be thanks to American and British news organizations pushing either term in each country.28. What caused the name confusion in the early 1800s?A. Game time.B. Sports rules.C. Ball popularity
25、.D. News organizations.29. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. The name confusion is becoming stronger.B. You cannot use your hands while playing games.C.

30、loser analysis suggested that the fungus uses chemical interactions with underground minerals to accumulate gold from its surroundings. Though fungi often interact with other things in nature, the reaction with gold was unexpected. “Fungi are well-known for playing an important role in the recycling
31、 of organic material, such as leaves and bark, as well as for the cycling of other metals,” Dr. Bohu explained. “But gold is so chemically inactive that this interaction is both unusual and surprising.”The fungi are not wearing the gold for beauty. “There is a biological benefit from this reaction.”
32、 Dr. Bohu said, “Gold-loving fungi can grow faster and bigger relative to other fungi that dont work with gold.”The researchers still need to conduct further analysis to understand the relationship between the fungi and the precious metal. More importantly, they need to determine if its presence is
