In the nineteenth century football began to be played in English public schools. The public schools were actually very expensive private(私立的) schools attended by the sons of the rich and powerful. The headmasters (校长) of three schools--Rugby, Eton and Harrow--began to develop new versions of football. The game became less violent (激烈的), less dangerous and easier to control（控制). It became a game for young gentlemen.

Each public school divided its pupils into clubs or \against each other, with each house wearing a particular(特定的) colour.

The first football clubs were organized(组织) in the same way as the house teams. Later the house competitions were used as a model(模型，模范) for the FA Cup(the Football Association Challenge Cup(英格兰足球杯).

Many of the boys at the public schools went on to the two English universities, Oxford and Cambridge. Football was very popular at Cambridge, but the young men from the different schools played with different rules. In 1848 a set of Cambridge Rules were established(制定) for everyone to play under. Some of these rules now seem a little strange.

A . in English private schools in the 19th century B . in English famous universities in the 19th century C . in English clubs in the 1900's D . in English houses in the 1900's

10. （10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院) in Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other historic buildings across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European governments are doing enough to keep up and care for such buildings.

Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures. One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.

In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000.

And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance (维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.

But regular attention and maintenance costs money.

Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.

\Europe,\

Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect. People have noticed the importance of such respect.
