C
Many schools have increased the number of P. E. classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to China's new standard on P. E. classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be P. E. classes, ranking third only after Chinese and math.
Along with easy exercises like running and long jump, the standard also asks
schools to give students other popular sports to do.
Ma Jiajun, 17, from Jilin, set a new world record for "the most consecutive triples jump rope(连续三摇跳)" with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on P. E. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jumping rope but also other kinds of sports.
"At first tai chi was only needed during break time to promote(推广) Chinese traditional culture, but students gradually fell in love with it," said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Students in Senior One all need to do it, and there's a tai chi contest every year for students in Senior Two. "Different from ball games, tai chi calms me down and eases my mind, getting me ready for the next class," said Gao.
"I enjoy hip-hop dance(街舞)," said Ren Jianing, a school student, "The class doesn't need any experience, so anyone can sign up." Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. "Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter," said Jianing.

11. 通读全文可知，除了跑步、跳远这类基础简单运动之外，文章重点介绍的符合新标准要求的其他运动分别是跳绳、太极、街舞，一共3种，因此答案选C。
12. 选项A：原文提到街舞课不需要任何经验，任何人都可以报名，该表述错误；选项B：原文明确说明太极可以让学生平静下来、放松思绪，为下一节课做好准备，表述正确；选项C：新标准规定体育课的课时占比仅排在语文和数学之后，并没有说明体育比语文数学更重要，该表述错误。因此答案选B。
13. 选项A：原文提到高一所有学生都需要练习太极，高二每年有太极比赛，说明太极不只是面向高二学生，该表述错误；选项B：文中没有提到太极比球类运动更受所有学生欢迎，该表述错误；选项C：原文提到最初开设太极相关内容是为了推广中国传统文化，和选项表述一致，该表述正确。因此答案选C。
14. 全文围绕我国出台新的体育课标准后，各校增加体育课课时、丰富体育课运动内容展开，体现出体育课的地位越来越重要。选项B文中没有介绍如何在体育课保持健康的相关内容，选项C新标准是针对体育课而非所有课程，均不符合文意。因此最佳标题是A。
