Conversation Two
M: Belinda, the game will begin soon.
W: I can't wait to watch the game, Martin. This is the first time I've ever been to a soccer game at a stadium. I always watch them on TV at home.
M: This is not a soccer game. [23]It's football. American football.
W: You mean it's a rugby game?
M: No, no, no. You've got them all wrong... The game is on. Look! [24]They use an elliptic ball in an American football match. They can also pass the ball with their hands.
W: I see. Soccer uses a round ball and the players can't touch the ball with their hands. Is that right?
M: You're smarter than I thought. Now watch the game.
W: Oh, that is violent!
M: What are you talking about? It's exciting.
W: [25]Listen, Martin. I can't stand this. I don't like American football at all. I came here only because I thought this was going to be a soccer game.
M: Don't be silly, Belinda. You'll love it. It's just begun.
W: Please. I want to go home.
M: All right, all right. This is crazy. What will my friends say about this?
W: You can stay if you want. I can go home by myself.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What kind of game are the speakers watching?
正確答案：B
解析：女士原以為是看足球比賽才來到賽場(chǎng)，而男士告訴她，他們看的是美式足球（即美式橄欖球）比賽。故B正確。
24. What do we learn about American football from the conversation?
正確答案：B
解析：男士解釋美式足球的規(guī)則時(shí)說，他們使用橢圓形的（elliptic）球比賽，可以用手觸球傳球。故B正確。D錯(cuò)在only一詞。
25. What do the two speakers think of American football and soccer?
正確答案：C
解析：整篇對(duì)話都充滿了雙方對(duì)美式足球的看法，因此本題不難作答。當(dāng)然，對(duì)話中女士也明確表明她“根本不喜歡美式足球”，故C正確。
