" think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. They " re right. " says Beardsley.
Students in Beardsley " s class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading list included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston , The Good Body by Bill Gas- ton and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.

"I think that a- long with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱),So we invent the game and-whammo ! -you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we don " t allow ourselves elsewhere. " says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form. of saying, " Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. "
"I" m talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is the course. "

参考答案
正确答案:B
参考译文C当DougBeardsley引进一门新的课程“冰球文学和加拿大的精神”时,教室里40个座位很快被占满。ESPN提供机会,让他飞往纽约参加一个电视谈话节目,回答远在德克萨斯和中国的研究者和冰球迷们发来的邮件。“他们认为通过研究这项运动和加拿大人民可以了解我们的民族,他们是对的”Beardsley说。Beardsley班上的学生已经完成了三篇关于冰球的研究论文。阅读书目包括三本著作:WayneJohnston写的《TheDivineRyans》,BillGas-ton写的《TheGoodBody》,和RickSalutin写的《LesCanadiens》.这些书触到了作为加拿大人的真正意义。用Beardsley的话来说,冰球显示了礼貌的加拿大人的真正本质。“我认为,伴随着分享和平,在混乱中生出绅士形象。因此我们创造了这个项目,当你站到冰上,它给了你一种释放能量的方式,这些能量在别的地方是不允许发泄的”Beardsley说。他补充了这项运动在冬天举行的原因是,“即使是在极冷的北方,我们也可以转动它,让它为我们服务。”“我谈论的是一些比发生在冰场上的事情更为重要的事,这门课也是如此。”64.B【精析】推理题。作者一开始介绍Beardsley开了一门课程,后面讲的也是围绕这个人的,因此作者是想介绍这位老师。A是错的,作者没有写如何打冰球;C介绍Beardsley,也不是作者的意图;D作者提及了冰球和加拿大人的精神,但是是引用Beardsley的观点,并没有针对这点发表意见。
