When word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring — "Hockey(冰球) Literature and the Canadian Psyche(精神)" — the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China. “They 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 Iist included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gaston and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.
In Beardsley’s words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. "I think that along 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."
We learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.
选项
A、ESPN has its offices around the world
B、aI1 chairs in Beardsley’s class were taken away
C、hockey is a popular sport in New York
D、Beardsley’s course on hockey is very popular
答案
D
解析
分析推理题。短文第一句在指出Beardsley开设的课程后指出:the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken(课堂上的40个座位很快被抢占一空),紧接着作者又说,ESPN出钱让他飞往纽约去参加电视访谈节目,而全球各地冰球迷和冰球研究者的电子邮件也纷至沓来。由此即可推知,Beardsley的这门课程广受欢迎(very popular),故选[D]。
