American businessman Robert P McCulloch bought the bridge for $2.5 million in 1968 and moved it—stone by stone—across the Atlantic Ocean．He rebuilt it in Lake Havasu City，Arizona—a small town in the middle of the desert，where the temperature is often more than 40 degrees．Nowadays，thousands of tourists come to see the bridge，and there is an English village with watersports facilities，shops and restaurants．The Guggenheim MuseumsThere are not one but five Guggenheim Museums．Solomon R Guggenheim opened the first collection of modern art in New York in 1959．Another museum opened in Italy，and then，in 1997，two more Guggenheims opened：one in Berlin and the other in the Basque city of Bilbao，in the north-west of Spain．It is now one of Spain’s biggest tourist attractions，and every year hundreds of thousands of people come to see the paintings and other works of art．The newest Guggenheimmuseum is the Virtual Museum--the world’s bigge st Internet art gallery(美术馆)．72．What degrees is the usual water temperature of the Blue Lagoon?73．How much did McCulloch pay for the bridge?74．Where will you go if you want to enjoy paintings and other works of art?75．Which place is the hottest in the text?（34）Imagine this：a television screen has the size and thickness of a piece of paper．You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show．Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye，but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled．Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way，and it is being studied and developed all over the world．Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命)．Perhaps nanotechnology will have the biggest influence on medical science．Imagine nanobots(纳米机器人) in medicine．Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific tasks．For example，they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses(病毒)．Other machines may stay in the human body for ever to heap organs(器官) that are not working properly．When could all of these happen? Scientists predict that most of these are possible in the next 30 years．Thousands of scientists around the world are working on these micro-machines．Nanotechnology is just around the corner．61．The two examples in Paragraph I are used to ________．A．introduce the smallest televisionB．introduce a new kind of guitarC．introduce the topic of the passageD．show how small the world is62．Nanotechnology ________________．A．will cause an industrial revolutionB．deals with things in old waysC．has studied the whole worldD．was developed many years ago63．The underlined word“they”in the third paragraph refers to(指代)“________”．A．scientists B．human bodiesC．specific tasks D．tiny machines64．The tiny machines ________________．A．are too small to be repairedB．can be put in a human body to kill virusesC．may not work well in a human body ．D．can take the place of human organs65．The underlined phrase“around the corner”in the last sentence means“________”．A．far away B．at present C．in the near future D．impossible（35）It is said that all dreams serve a purpose(目的)．While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream，there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have．One common kind of dream is the repeating dream，in which the same story is repeated again and again，often for many months or even years．Some believe these are a sign people have a problem．in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop．Others think they are a way to help people remember something very Important．Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare．The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams．The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes．Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life．Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world．We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting．They help us think about our future．Lucid dreams are the most fun．These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that theyare dreaming．Instead of waking up，they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie．51．The underlined word“they”(in paragraph 2) refers to “________”．A．dreams B．problems C．dreamers D．scientists52．The underlined word“terrifying”(in paragraph 3)is closest in meaning to“________”A．frightening B．interesting C．disappointing D．amazing53．When might a person daydream?A．During a very interesting movie．B．While playing at a fun park．C．While listening to an uninteresting talk．D．When making a movie．54．How do we know if we are lucid dreaming?A．We can remember the dream very clearly．B．We can control what happens in the dream．C．We think that the dream is like a movie．D．We feel very nervous after we wake up．55．What is the best title of the passage?A．Daydreaming of You B．Enjoy Your DreamC．What Dreams Mean D．Where Dreams Go（36）To protect the environment，most supermarkets in China will stop providing free plastic bags．If you don’t want to pay money to buy them，you’ll have to bring yore own shopping bag．What kind of bags will be the best to bring? Students in Kunming Xinying Middle School have some good ideas．Recently fifty-four students of the school held an activity in which they made their own environmentally-friendly shopping bags．Most students used old clothes to make their bags．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．But Wang Shuncheng，a Junior 2 boy，chose a different material(材料)．He made his bag with old newspaper．Is a newspaper bag strong enough to hold shopping? Wang says it is，“No problem．I put six bottles of water in the bag，”he said．“It’s strong enough!”Chen Lisi，a girl，had a more traditional way to make her bag—she wove(编织) a bamboo bag．It was not an easy job．With her grandfather’s help．Chen spent a whole afternoon making it．She also wove wool(毛线)flowers on the bag．Making bags was not all the students did．They had another job：to persuade their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags instead of plastic ones．The school will show the bags so that shops and stores can get some ideas from the students’ work．61．From the passage we know that ________．A．plastic bags have not been used in supermarkets for some timeB．plastic bags cannot be bought from most supermarketsC．most supermarkets will stop providing free plastic bagsD．people must bring their own bags when they do shopping in supermarkets．62．Besides the plastic bags，________ other kinds of bags are mentioned in the passage．A．two B．three C. four D．five63．The main purpose of the activity is ________．A．to teach the students how to make more shopping bagsB．to get the students to learn to do things by themselvesC．to give the students an environmental protection lessonD．to get their parents and relatives to use environmentally-friendly shopping bags64．The underlined word“persuade”in the last paragraph probably means ________．A．劝说B．指导C．命令D．监督65．The school will show the bags in order to ________．A．encourage the studentsB．make some moneyC．get some work for the studentsD．give some ideas to shops and stores（31）61-65．CBACD（32）35-38．ABBD（33）72．Between 35 and 40 degrees. 73．$ 2.5 million74．To the Guggenheim Museums. 75．Arizona.（34）61-65．CADBC（35）51-55．AACBC（36）61-65．CBCAD。

2013中考英语试题及答案

2013中考英语试题及答案各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢2013中考英语试题及答案2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（二）议论文（6）A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naug htiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Jo hnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

INDIVIDUAL BROCHURESBChuck Wall teaches management and human relations atBakersfieldCollege. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind---not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrateWorld Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place.61.

Which is the best title of the passage?A. Learning Kind ThingsB. Teaching KindnessC. World Kindness DayCMartin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of ears. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and playcards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move toMexico Cityto run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dol lars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.“And then what” asked Pablo.“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”66.

Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class.

The addictive substance(物质）in cigarettes is nicotine(尼古丁). When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel comfortable. A smoker's body gets used to the nicotine, and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to do so .Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals (礼仪), for example, sending the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it and flicking (弹掉) the ashes are special comfort in a situation where they feel nervous.Many people also like the taste of tar (焦油) in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking completely, cigarette manufacturers (生产商) have tried to keepselling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they found it hard to stop smoking and wanted to reduce the danger to their health.62. According to the passage, what gets people into the habit of smoking?A. The cigarette.B. Nicotine.C. Tar.D. Blood.63. What do the underlined words "to do so" mean?A. They means "to stop smoking".B. They means "to make people feel comfortable".C. They means "to get used to the nicotine".D. They means "to become addicted to cigarettes".64. Why do people welcome low-tar cigarettes?A. Because they taste better.B. Because they are cheaper.C. Because they are less harmful.D. Because they are easy to be made.65. Which of the following sentences is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Smokers continue smoking because smoking is very interesting.B. Tar in cigarettes causes cancer.C. In order to look cool, many people enjoy smoking.D. Many people in western countries welcome the cigarettes with more tar.3. 2013年南京市“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade businessclass. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his hea d. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“ Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and wh at you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”1. What class did Mr Gruber teach?A. HistoryB. ScienceC. MathD. Business2.

See if he or she is tit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries，check with their consulates (领事馆).You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.If you are going by plane or train，ask if pets are allowed. If they are，ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.Choose your pet’s box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can' be chewed(嚼碎).If going by plane or train during warm weather，try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car， be careful.

For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player .This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me. To be honest, it was not easy . However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself. If I took the College EntranceExamination, as we call it gaokao in China , it could never possibly do .When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons. However ,as I grew older , I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons , but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life , like guitar―playing . Although I had no time for it , I will still get to it in the future .No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies. But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “talent” really is today . This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities (品质）are needed for success , not just the high grade .Ken Robinson once said, “th e society depends on different kinds of talents.” However, gaokao pays too attention to a person’s grades but little to his other qualities. And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun .As high school students, we can not change the present situation of education, but we are always free to think outside of the box. Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people .57. The US College pay special attention to ________.A. students ' family background.B. the different achievementC. students ' ideas about way of life.D. the school a student is from.58. When at high school, the writer ________.A. had a lot of activities .B. did not work hard at her lessons.C. did well in gaokaoD. had no time to play the guitar.59. From the passage, we know that the writer may ________.A. go to college in America .B. give up the US college interview .C. become a good football player in the US.D. change the present situation of education .60. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. My school life abroad.B. Different exams in the US.C My view on gaokao D. The importance of school grades6. 2013年山东省聊城市To write a great news story , you have to make sure it is correct , relevant (相关的) and fresh..For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.Any mistakes that appear (出现）in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.A news story is not only correct ，but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them . That is why you care more about what happens at your school that at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don 't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.Finally, news must always be fresh . When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news from last week !So, now you know what makes a good news story . Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news .you can try writing a news story for ournewspaper like a real reporter.46.

Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.Fungi may appear almost everywhere. ①They commonlygrow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt or moss(苔藓). Mushrooms(蘑菇) are the best-known fungi.②There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrel’s bread(松茸) is another kind of wild mushroom. Its appearance and use can explain its name. These fungi look like small golden cakes. Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their hole to eat later.③食品店里的蘑菇是人们精心种植的，可安全食用。

Sun cream reduces the risk of skin cancer.D. Sun cream starts to work immediately.BIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studie d to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unr eliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first airstewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses.

2013年北京中考英语试卷解析：阅读理解答案六、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

（共26分，每小题2分）A47. How many popular articles are there in the magazine？A. 2B. 3C. 448. Which article is about saving money？A. Ice cream and banking.B. Black sheep and Uncle Bob.C. Relation between you and food.D. Films that aren’t really about Canada.49. What is Black sheep and Uncle Bob about？A. American films.B. Family stories.C. Food.D. Banking.【参考答案】48. A 49. BI bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it，I was told it would bloom（开花）and the sweet smell would fillmy office. I had the plant for two months，and every day I looked at it，but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy，so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.One day，another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in，her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers，I suddenly understood something.Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom；regretfully，I gave it away.In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left，she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life，we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.50. Before she gave the jasmine away，the writer had it for .A. one dayB. one yearC. two weeksD. two months51. When the writer saw Mary’s jasmine，she felt____________ .A. unhappyB. peacefulC. hopefulD. surprised52. What has the writer learned from her experience？A. Patience is needed in life.B. Flowers can make life better.C. Friendship is necessary for us.D. Jasmine can be a wonderful plant.【参考答案】47. D 48. DCAssertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions，feelings，attitudes，and rights，in a way that doesn’t infringe（侵犯）the rights of others.Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don’t like，we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.Why is Assertiveness important？If you don’t know how to be assertive，you might experience：oDepression - Anger， a sense of being helpless，hopeless，or of having no control over your life.oResentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you.oFrustration - Why did I allow that to happen？Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It’s a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you，the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！But before you decide to act assertively，you have to decide if you can live with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive response （积极的回应），some people might react differently.How to be effectively（有效地）assertive：oUse “I” statements. Keep the focus on the problem you’re having. “I’d like to be ab le to tell my stories without interruption.” instead of “You’re always interrupting my stories ！”oUse facts，not opinions. “Did you know that shirt has a hole？” instead of “You’re not going out looking like THAT，are you？”oExpress ownership of your thoughts，feelings，and opinions. “I get angry when he breaks his promises. ” instead of“He makes me angry. ”o Make clear and direct requirements. Don’t invite the person to say no. “Will you please？” instead of “Would you mind……？”or“Why don’t you……？”oKeep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don’t try to explain yourself.53. The writer probably agrees that____________.A. you should consider others’ response before you act assertivelyB. you should be assertive if you want to get good marksC. assertiveness is the ability to infringe others’ rightsD. assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings54. The expression “hold your ground” probably means “_________________”A. reach an agreementB. insist on your pointC. keep your wordD. keep on fighting55. Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive？A. Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.B. Expressing ownership of others’ thoughts.C. Making requirements directly and clearly.D. Using your opinions instead of facts.【参考答案】53. ADThe willful blindness in hockey toward concussions （头部撞击）has dropped. Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking （身体拦截）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 youngerplayers 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（强制的）for all coaches，including those teaching players in the pre-checking ages. And it began to encourage more “touch” - without real bodychecking - from 9 to 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.56. We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada____________.A. is controlled strictlyB. is taken more seriously nowC. is caused by players’ carelessnessD. is connected with players’ interest57. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2？A. The safe ways of controlling the loss.B. The steps of drawing special attention.C. The possible results of changing the rules.D. The methods of improving the environment.58. What can we learn from the passage？A. The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking.B. Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful.C. B odychecking is a good way to value players’ skills in the USA.D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking.59. What is probably the best title’ for this passage？A. Which is more important？B. How do we change the rules？C. Why is hockey a dangerous game？D. When should bodychecking be prevented？【参考答案】56. B58. D59. A。
