13—17 CADBD
13. 答案是C。从第二段可以知道Ovechkin是用一种炫耀的方式来庆祝他在球场上的胜利。他是想表示他是一个伟大的冰球运动员，但不是因为他是一个了不起的运动员就应该在赛场上炫耀，A项在逻辑上有误。“…that his stick is red-hot”是一种比喻的手法，并不是他的球棍真的是热的，B项错误。D项本身的内容就错误，文章中并没有提到Ovechkin总是赢得没有风度，根据文章内容，他的这次炫耀行为也不是他常有的行为。
14. 答案是A。要求选择选错误项。文章中提到“Ovechkin is a terrific hockey player.”，他的进球得分也说明他的skilful，在赛场上的过度炫耀，是因为他的proud/overjoyed，但是作者说他是a poor sport说明他不够generous。
15. 答案是D。从“I wouldn't mind what Ovechkin did except for one thing: It sets a bad example.”可以知道作者在意的是Ovechkin给青少年树立了一个坏榜样，“Kids see their favorite sports stars celebrating and acting like bad sports and the kids want to do the same thing in their games.”，他们会受到坏的影响。
16. 答案是B。But professional sports are different from kids' sports. Professional sports are mostly for entertainment. Kids' sports are not entertainment. Kids should play sports to improve their skills, learn how to compete and have fun.这就是professional sports和Kids' sports区别所在：目的不同。
17. 答案是D。要求选择选错误项。虽然作者说“Showing emotion during the game and celebrating touchdowns and goals can be part of the fun and excitement.”，但鉴于sportsmen对青少年的楷模作用，他们随心所欲地在赛场上宣泄情感的做法也不是作者所认同的，从文章倒数第二段的"one-way fun."例子中，可知作者不希望看见以伤害他人为代价的fun。所以A符合作者的看法。“Kids should play sports to improve their skills, learn how to compete and have fun. If kids show off after they score or make a good play, that doesn't help them improve or have fun.”证明作者希望青少年要认真对待体育运动，提高技艺，不要学习职业运动员的一些不好的做法。本文以Ovechkin的例子引出本文，正是要探讨sportsmen所应该承担的社会责任。这样BC项也符合作者的想法。只有D是作者认为不应该做得，所以答案为D。
