听力原文：

There are 5 questions in this passage. For each question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

This Sunday, February 9, is not a holiday in the United States, but it might seem like one to Americans.

Many will be attending parties to watch Super Bowl LIX. The Super Bowl is the championship game of professional American football.

The National Football League, or NFL, has 32 teams mainly based in large cities across the U.S.

The first professional league was formed in 1920, when representatives of four teams met in Canton, Ohio. The group first called itself the American Professional Football Association but changed the name two years later to the National Football League.

In 1960, Texas businessman Lamar Hunt pushed the effort to create the American Football League, or AFL. The two leagues competed with each other to sign top football players from universities around the country.

In 1965, established NFL players began negotiating to play for the competing league. So, officials of the two leagues decided to work together. This agreement established a championship game between the two leagues. It was officially called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game but became known as the Super Bowl.

The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 in Los Angeles, California. The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. It was not a very exciting game. Many of the seats in the sports center were empty. That changed with the Super Bowl played two years later. Experts say the public finally accepted the new league when the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts.

After that game in 1969, officials of the two leagues decided to create a new National Football League. They divided the teams into two competing conferences, the American Conference, or AFC, and the National Conference, NFC. Each year, the conference champions play in the Super Bowl.

Today, the Super Bowl is a major sporting event. Tens of thousands of people will be watching the game Sunday at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Tens of millions of other people around the world will be watching Super Bowl LIX. They will be watching to see if the AFC Kansas City Chiefs or the NFC Philadelphia Eagles become the champions of American football.

Both teams have had success in the Big Game. The Eagles are one-time NFL champions. They defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. This Sunday will be the team's fifth NFL championship game appearance.

The Kansas City Chiefs have played for the championship six times. They have won four times, including the last two Super Bowls. The Chiefs are the first team in NFL history to have a chance to win a third Super Bowl in a row.

参考答案及解析：

1. B

定位：文章第二段提到 "The group first called itself the American Professional Football Association but changed the name two years later to the National Football League."

解析：本题考察细节。原文明确指出，该组织在1920年成立时的名称是 American Professional Football Association**，两年后才改为NFL。因此选B。

2. C

定位：文章第四段提到 "In 1965, established NFL players began negotiating to play for the competing league. So, officials of the two leagues decided to work together."

解析：本题考察因果关系。原文明确指出，因为当时NFL的资深球员开始与竞争对手AFL谈判加盟事宜（NFL players... negotiating to play for the rival league），导致两个联盟决定合作。选项C是对原文的复述。

3. C

定位：文章第六段提到 "Experts say the public finally accepted the new league when the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts."

解析：本题考察关键事件。原文直接指出，公众最终接受新联盟的转折点发生在 New York Jets 击败 Baltimore Colts之后。故选C。

解析本题考察综合判断。

A项错误，首届超级碗在Los Angeles举办，不是New Orleans。

B项正确，原文明确说明AFL是由得克萨斯州商人Lamar Hunt在1960年推动创立的。

C项错误，拥有32支球队且基于大城市是NFL现在的状态，不是1920年成立时的状态。

D项错误，老鹰队只赢过一次（one-time NFL champions）。

听力原文翻译：

本周日，2月9日，虽然在美国并非法定节假日，但对美国人来说却可能感觉像是一个节日。

许多人将参加聚会观看第59届超级碗（Super Bowl LIX）。超级碗是美国职业橄榄球大联盟的冠军赛。

国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）拥有32支球队，主要分布在美国各地的大城市。

第一个职业联盟成立于1920年，当时四支球队的代表在俄亥俄州坎顿市会面。该组织最初自称美国职业橄榄球协会（American Professional Football Association），但两年后更名为国家橄榄球联盟（National Football League）。

1960年，得克萨斯州商人拉马尔·亨特（Lamar Hunt）推动了美国橄榄球联盟（AFL）的创建。这两个联盟相互竞争，争相签下全国各大学的顶尖橄榄球运动员。

1965年，已成名的NFL球员开始协商转投竞争联盟。于是，两大联盟的官员决定携手合作。这项协议确立了两个联盟之间的冠军赛。该比赛正式名称为AFL-NFL世界冠军赛，但后来被称为“超级碗”。

第一届超级碗于1967年在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶举行。绿湾包装工队（Green Bay Packers）击败了堪萨斯城酋长队。那并不是一场非常激动人心的比赛，体育中心内许多座位都空着。随着两年后的下一届超级碗，这种情况发生了改变。专家表示，当纽约喷气机队（New York Jets）击败巴尔的摩小马队（Baltimore Colts）时，公众终于接受了这个新联盟。

在那场1969年的比赛之后，两大联盟的官员决定组建一个新的国家橄榄球联盟。他们将球队分为两个竞争的联合会：美国联合会（AFC）和国家联合会（NFC）。每年，联合会冠军都会在超级碗中一决高下。

如今，超级碗是一项重大的体育盛事。本周日，将有数万名观众在新奥尔良的超级圆顶体育场（Superdome）观看比赛。

全世界还有数千万其他人将观看第59届超级碗。他们将通过这场比赛见证是AFC的堪萨斯城酋长队还是NFC的费城老鹰队成为美式橄榄球的冠军。

两支球队在“大比赛”（Big Game）中都有过成功经历。老鹰队曾一次夺得NFL冠军，他们在超级碗LII中击败了新英格兰爱国者队。本周日将是该队第五次亮相NFL冠军赛。

堪萨斯城酋长队曾六次参加冠军争夺战。他们赢了四次，包括最近的两届超级碗。酋长队是NFL历史上第一支有机会连续第三次赢得超级碗的球队。
