閱讀理解,閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中,選擇最佳選項(xiàng)。

  The willful blindness in hockey toward concussions(頭部撞擊)has dropped.Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking(身體攔截)below age 13.A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey's greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere.This country's children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change.The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.

  The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger.It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don't enjoy that environment.

  For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages.True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries.When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(強(qiáng)制的)for all coaches, including those teaching players in the pre-checking ages.And it began to encourage more "touch"-without real bodychecking-from 9 t0 12.It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter.The USA is trying to show that it's possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger.It's worth the try.

  Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head.However, it's hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country.Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball.Children were paying a price for this country's love of the game.

  There are always changes in Canada's game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的)in the game.

(4)

答案:1.B;2.C;3.D;4.A;
解析:

(1)

這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題,根據(jù)全文第一句"The willful blindness in hockey toward concussions(頭部撞擊)has dropped."可知B為正確答案

(2)

這是一道段落主旨題。答案提示在第2段的第一句。The change in rules should be taken as a chance to…free of danger.該句的關(guān)鍵詞chance對應(yīng)C答案中的possible, to draw special attention to skill development in…是result, 故選C.

(3)

這是一道推斷題,根據(jù)第三段最后兩句話可知D表達(dá)的意思合理

(4)
