to

2
with

and

Carrying

two

walked
along

the

四、阅读理解
It
is
probably
the
strangest
sport
anyone
has
ever
invented.
And
at
first
sight,
it
looks
like
the
easiest.
Competitors
have
to
do
two
things.
The
first
is
to
stand
still.
The
second
is
to
place
their
hands
anywhere
on
the
body
of
a
car,
and
keep
it
there.
This
is
where
things
start
getting
difficult.
Lots
of
people
are
doing
the
same
thing.
And
the
winner
of
the
“handathon”
contest
is
the
person
who
can
carry
on
doing
it
for
the
longest
time.
That
person
gets
to
own
the
car.
It
still
seems
to
be
an
easy
thing
to
do.
At
the
beginning
it
is.
Anyone
can
stand
still.
But
when
the
contest
has
been
going
for
four
or
five
days,
standing
still
seems
like
the
most
difficult
job
in
the
world.
And
keeping
the
hand
in
place
over
this
time
becomes
an
act
of
serious
attention.
After
a
few
days,
the
hand
seems
to
belong
to
someone
else—someone
who
wants
to
go
home
and
get
some
sleep.
Competitors
are
allowed
to
take
a
five-minute
break
every
hour
to
eat,
drink
or
do
whatever
else
is
necessary.
No
one
is
allowed
to
lean
on
the
car
for
support.
Winners
need
to
be
able
to
show
great
powers
of
attention.
They
also
need
to
be
able
to
develop
special
skills.
Maybe
the
popularity
of
the
handathon
is
due
to
the
fact
that
it
is
not
necessary
to
be
a
trained
athlete
to
petitors
in
the
Longview
handathon
certainly
don’t
seem
to
do
much
preparation.
Most
say
they
will
prepare
by
“getting
lots
of
sleep”.
Others
say
they
will
“eat
healthy
food”
or
“pray
for
success”.
The
whole
event
gives
ordinary
people
the
chance
to
do
something
interesting
and
win
something
in
the
end.
Handathons
are
competitions,
but
there
is
little
rivalry(敌对)
between
competitors.
They
help
each
other
out
and
keep
each
other’s
spirits
up.
People
who
drop
out
early
return
with
food,
drink
and
encouragement.

四、阅读理解
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的
“It
is
probably
the
strangest
sport
anyone
has
ever
invented.”以及第三段中的“And
keeping
the
hand
in
place
over
this
time
becomes
an
act
of
serious
attention.”可知,这项运动要求运动员必须把他们的手放在车身的任何地方保持不动。
2.A 推理判断题。纵观全文可知,第一段作者说“它好像是很容易”,第三段“那仍然看起来是很简单的事情”,但是马上来了个转折
“But
when
the
contest
has
been
going
for
four
or
five
days,
standing
still
seems
like
the
most
difficult
job
in
the
world.”由此推断,作者认为“手拉松”并不像它看上去那么简单。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第五段中第一句
“Maybe
the
popularity
of
the
handathon
is
due
to
the
fact
that
it
is
not
necessary
to
be
a
trained
athlete
to
enter.
”可知,
它流行的原因是因为不需要进行专门的训练,
换句话说,
只要有兴趣就可以参加。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句
“The
first
is
to
stand
still.
The
second
is
to
place
their
hands
anywhere
on
the
body
of
a
car,
and
keep
it
there.”可知,运动员必须把他们的手放在车身的任何地方保持不动。故选B项。
