A
Four of the World's Toughest Ultramarathons
Ultramarathons, as a niche activity (小众活动), involve longer races than the usual 42.2 kilometer marathon. Here are four of the toughest ultramarathons around the globe, attracting runners to challenge themselves.
Badwater 135
Badwater 135 is a 217 kilometer trek (长途跋涉) from California's Death Valley to the Mt. Whitney trailhead. Some of the hottest temperatures on Earth have been recorded here, and it's not unusual for runners to face temperatures around 48.9 ℃ during the July event. Participants typically dress in white and step only on the road's white painted markings, as the blacktop (柏油路) melts shoes.
Barkley Marathons
There's no question that the Barkley Marathons is one tough race, for its 99 percent dropout rate. Since its start in 1986, only 17 people have managed to complete its approximate 161 kilometers. It's difficult only because there are no markers or aid stations on the course, and runners must find the way without phones or GPS devices, running through the thick forest and climbing up and down mountains.
Marathon des Sables
This 250 kilometer trek through the Sahara Desert began in 1986. Participants have to carry their own food and sleeping equipment for seven days across unending sand, and the temperatures there take over 37.8 ℃. Participants experience sunburn, poisonous snakes and maybe even sandstorms.
Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra
Known as the world's coldest and hardest ultramarathon, this February event covers 692 kilometers with a 13 day time limit. Runners can face temperatures well below 0 ℃, plus the strong cold wind. Fresh snow or high winds can make the journey extremely challenging, while river crossing can be deadly if the ice is unstable.

After taking a few steps back to get a running start, Hadj Benhalima dashed toward the building, pushed against its wall with his foot, pushed himself upward and stretched out his arm.
At the peak of his leap, he fingered off a light switch, more than 10 feet off the ground.The bright lights of a nearby barbershop went off instantly.
Groups of young athletes practicing Parkour — the practice of passing obstacles in a man made or natural environment through the use of running, vaulting (腾跃), jumping, climbing, rolling, and other movements in order to travel from one point to another in the quickest and most efficient way possible without the use of equipment — have been swinging around big French cities switching off wasteful shop signs at night, in an effort to fight light pollution and save energy.
These so called Light Off operations have become extra popular in recent months, with France embarking on energy conservation efforts.
Paris, the City of Light, is a favorite target.While its landmark monuments now go dark earlier than usual, many store signs still stay lit all night.
“Everyone can contribute in their own way to save energy,” said Kevin Ha, the leader of the Paris based On The Spot Parkour group with about 20 members.“We put our physical abilities to good use.”
Enforcing the orders in place of the authorities certainly enters a legal gray area.But the group said all the police officers they have met during their rounds have approved of their deeds — as long as it causes no damage.
8.Which of the following options is NOT Parkour's feature
A.It doesn't need any tools to assist movement.
B.It can only be practiced in an enclosed environment.
C.It aims to travel from one point to another in the quickest way.
D.It is practiced through running, vaulting, jumping, climbing, etc.
9.Why do young athletes in Paris take part in Parkour
A.To invite more youths to join them in competition.
B.To overcome physical boundaries and build fitness.
C.To reduce the consequences of energy consumption.
D.To tour around feeling the unique beauty of Paris at night.
10.What does Kevin Ha think of the Parkour participants
A.They are honest. B.They are creative.
C.They are selfish. D.They are optimistic.
11.How did the police react to the Light Off operations of the young
A.They gave their unspoken agreement.
B.They took these actions as illegal.
C.They believed there must be damage caused.
D.They held an indifferent attitude towards them.
D
Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds.Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing.But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing.
For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss.Take walking for example.A 150 pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories.That's equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort.It's much easier just to skip the soda.
When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive.Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising brought no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months.At 12 months, the diet and exercise combination showed an advantage, but it was slight — about 4 pounds.
In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week.To achieve that, a 150 pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day.In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do.And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose.
When exercise fails to meet our weight loss expectations, we often stop working out.Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body.How many times have you heard someone say “I'll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much We treat exercise as a form of self punishment for being “bad”. In this case, we're unlikely to keep doing it for very long.
The conclusion is that we're more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well being rather than our weight.
12.What does the underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Necessary. B.Popular.
C.Dangerous. D.Useless.
13.What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis
A.You will burn 140 calories every day.
B.You will lose 4 pounds in a month.
C.You might have a higher metabolic rate.
D.You might eat more than usual.
14.Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up
A.They are unlikely to really enjoy it.
B.They find it too challenging physically.
C.They have difficulty resisting (抵抗) delicious food.
D.They turn their attention to their well being.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A.How long should you exercise a day to lose weight
B.What are the best exercises for losing weight
C.Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path
D.Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers

Olympic Sports — then and now
We tend to think of Olympic sports as fixed throughout the history of Olympic competition.But the truth is that, like most things, the Olympic Games are influenced by trends.
__16__ In the ancient Greek Games, Olympians competed in pankration — a cross between wrestling and boxing with disturbingly few rules.As useful as it may have been for Greek fighters and as entertaining for watchers, it didn't make it to the modern Games.
The modern Games have seen a number of events, either for competition or demonstration sports, come and go.__17__ It is difficult to picture a modern day audience enjoying the killing of animals as an Olympic sport.The same Games also had an underwater swimming race.That would have been challenging for watchers.__18__ There was a swimming obstacle (障碍) race, which sounds more like an interesting event at a school carnival (学校嘉年华).
Tug of war (拔河) was only an Olympic event from 1900 to the 1920 Games which were held in Belgium.It joined club swinging, rope climbing and hot air ballooning as events which disappeared before long.The ancient Greeks raced horse drawn chariots (双轮敞篷马车) in their Olympic arena (竞技场) and in the 1908 London Games, motor boat racing made a brief appearance.__19__ However, cycling and sailing are probably the nearest things to them today.
__20__ But in fact, ancient Greeks would probably be equally amused by the inclusion of beach volleyball at our modern Games.
A.Neither has lasted.
B.We may laugh at some of these events.
C.The modern Games have a more expansive athletic agenda (计划).
D.They had to try to cheer for Olympians they couldn't even see.
E.In the 1900 Paris Games, you could have enjoyed watching live bird shooting.
F.Before the 1970s the Games were officially limited to amateur (业余的) competitors.
G.The original Olympic events were based around skills necessary for Greek fighters.

Mr Tai, the teacher in charge of sports at Sarasota High School in Florida, had just celebrated his 58th birthday — an age at which many would think seriously of retiring (退休).However, it was not so with Mr Tai.He had an outstanding record of athletic achievements in leading the school's sports team.Some of the students he had trained had become national runners.The school board agreed he continued to work as they did not want to lose the services of someone who had successfully led the school sports team to the finals of the National Athletics Championships.
In the year before, however, the school team did not get as many medals in the National Athletics Championships as expected.Mr Tai's hopes were fired this year by two promising star athletes, Farid and Hassan, who happened to be twins.
In the school's sports meeting, Farid broke the school's twenty year record for the 100 meters event.His brother, Hassan, was just a second behind.Since Hassan had an ankle (踝关节) injury, Mr Tai decided to submit only Farid's name to the finals of the National Athletics Championships.On the day he submitted the results of the best runner in the school, he mistakenly wrote Hassan's name instead, without noticing it.
When Mr Tai received the list of the finalists (参加决赛者) in event, he was quite surprised and immediately he realized that he had made the mistake.However, it was too late to inform the sports secretariat (秘书处).Apart from that, pride also did not allow him to admit his mistake at that moment.Therefore, he decided to inform Farid's brother, Hassan, and started to train him in the final preparations for this event.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。
Hearing that he was not a finalist, Farid could not believe his ears.
Unluckily, Hassan lost the race.

2.选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It's difficult only because there are no markers or aid stations on the course, and runners must find the way without phones or GPS devices, running through the thick forest and climbing up and down mountains.”可知,Barkley Marathons适合方向感好的跑步者。
3.选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Known as the world's coldest and hardest ultramarathon, this February event covers 692 kilometers with a 13 day time limit.”并比较其他三个超马拉松赛的距离可知,Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra的特别之处在于它是四个马拉松中覆盖距离最长的。
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Prosperi在沙漠马拉松中遇到沙尘暴被困数日后获救的故事,四年后他成功完成了沙漠马拉松并树立了更远大的目标。

12.选D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Take walking for example ...It's much easier just to skip the soda.”可知,每天步行30分钟减肥效果不理想,说明运动对于减肥来说通常是无用的。futile意为“无用的”,与D项词义相近。
13.选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To achieve that, a 150 pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day ... effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose.”可知,当你每天跑步30分钟时,你的身体会渴望更多的食物,即你可能比平时吃得多。

18.选D 根据上文可知,水下活动是有挑战性的。D项(他们不得不试着为他们甚至看不见的奥运选手加油)解释说明了为什么水下游泳赛对观众来说是很有挑战的,符合语境。
19.选A 根据后文可知,马拉车和摩托艇赛在现代奥运会的对应项目可能是骑自行车和帆船。由此可知,马拉车和摩托艇赛这两个项目都没能一直继续下去。故A项(这两种赛事都没有持续下去)承上启下,符合语境。

参考范文:
Dear Tom,
How's it going?Hearing that you are interested in my sports and the changes brought about by sports, I am writing this letter to share my sports experience and related information with you.
First of all, every morning I insist on jogging regularly for an hour, after which I would jump rope 100 times.Secondly, after dinner every day I like spending an hour playing basketball with my classmates on the court.As far as I am concerned, after a long period of exercise, what makes me feel the most meaningful is that I become more energetic, and I also have a more flexible mind to study.
Sincerely, I hope you can also fall in love with sports and stick to it!
Yours,
Li Hua

Unluckily, Hassan lost the race.Hassan's old ankle injury troubled him during the race and he came in last, which disappointed all. Mr Tai made an apology again.Though feeling angry and sad, Farid chose to accept the fact positively instead of giving up.Under the guidance of Mr Tai, he worked even harder in the following days.In the end, he did well enough to win honor for the school in the next National Athletics Championships.
