【解析】

本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了美式橄榄球。

1.考查副词。句意：然而，他们踢的足球完全不同。分析句子可知，修饰动词play用副词。故填differently。

2.考查过去分词。句意：对大多数美国人来说，英国足球有点枯燥乏味。分析句子可知，所填空处作定语修饰British football，British football与了解为逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词形式。故填known。

3.考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意：每队由十一名队员组成。分析句子可知，团队与组成为逻辑上的被动关系，且全文基调为一般现在时，故用一般现在时被动语态。故填is made。

4.考查名词单复数。句意：所有的运动员都能用脚和手触球。结合后文hands及and可知，所填空处需用foot的复数形式，foot的复数形式为feet。故填feet。

5.考查连词。句意：球员们有时踢球，但他们经常把球扔出去，然后跟着球跑。结合句意，前文提到“球员们有时踢球”，后文“他们经常把球扔出去，然后跟着球跑。”前后文有明显的转折含义。故填but。

6.考查定语从句。句意：如果他们能越过对方的球门线，他们能得到6分，这叫做触地得分。分析句子可知，所填空处缺少定语从句连接词，which引导定语从句在句中作主语。故填which。

7.考查固定句型。句意：运球不容易。It is + adj. to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事怎么样”。it做形式主语。故填It。

8.考查不定式。句意：对方队的十一个人尽全力阻止拿球的人。分析句子可知，对方队的十一个人所做的，都是为了阻止拿球的人。to可表目的。故填to stop。

9.考查时态。句意：如果他不能把球移动十码，球队就必须把球踢给对方。分析句子可知，本句为条件状语从句，从句用一般现在时，主语为he，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填fails。

10.考查现在分词。句意：每当一场重要的比赛开始时，总会有很多人来观看，为他们最喜欢的球队欢呼。分析句子可知，人们与欢呼为逻辑上的主动关系，现在分词作状语修饰thousands of people。故填cheering。
