【解析】
【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了冰球的比賽規(guī)則和特點。
【1題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：兩支穿冰鞋的隊伍比賽得分，他們使用一端彎曲的木棍來擊打一個又小又硬的橡膠圓盤，叫做冰球。結(jié)合句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處hit作目的狀語，應(yīng)用不定式。故填to hit。
【2題詳解】
考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：其中之一是守門員，他可以用身體的任何部位接住或阻擋冰球，也可以用身體的任何部位阻擋。根據(jù)上文One of them is the goalkeeper可知為一般現(xiàn)在時，且非限制性定語從句修飾先行詞goalkeeper，先行詞在從句中作主語，與allow構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，故用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)，謂語用單數(shù)。故填is allowed。
【3題詳解】
考查介詞。句意：冰球在有寒冷冬天的地方一直是最受歡迎的，例如在加拿大、北歐、國家和美國北部各州。 結(jié)合句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)用介詞with表示“有”。故填with。
【4題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：這張照片拍攝于匈牙利和荷蘭的一場比賽中，你可以看到兩名球員正試圖控制冰球。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知take在句中應(yīng)用非謂語動詞形式，與邏輯主語photo構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作定語。故填taken。
【5題詳解】
考查感嘆句。句意：我選擇這張動作照片是因為它展示了游戲是多么的刺激和競爭。感嘆后文形容詞exciting and competitive應(yīng)用how，表示“多么”。故填how。
【6題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意：照射在冰面上的光線讓你對堅硬的冰面有了一個概念，這使得冰球成為世界上速度最快的團(tuán)隊運(yùn)動。此處為非限制性定語從句修飾上文整個句子，從句中缺少主語，故用關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)。故填which。
【7題詳解】
考查連詞。句意：此外，如照片所示，冰球是一項身體接觸的運(yùn)動。引導(dǎo)定語從句，表示“正如”應(yīng)用as。故填as。
【8題詳解】
考查連詞。句意：受傷是很常見的，尤其是當(dāng)球員撞到對方的時候。引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，表示“當(dāng)……時候”應(yīng)用when/as。故填when/as。
【9題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：這項比賽非常具有挑戰(zhàn)性，運(yùn)動員通常只能在冰上停留兩分鐘左右，然后就會被替換。此處為動名詞作賓語，且replace與players構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，應(yīng)用being done形式。故填being replaced。
【10題詳解】
考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句。句意：正是他們驚人的身體技能和速度讓冰球比賽如此令人興奮。去掉it is和空處，剩下的部分可以構(gòu)成完整的句子，可知此處為強(qiáng)調(diào)句“it be+被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that(強(qiáng)調(diào)人可用who)+其它”，此處被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分為their amazing physical skill and speed，應(yīng)用that。故填that。
