　　Text 1

　　Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley's world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.

　　Parkrun is succeeding where London's Olympic "legacy" is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run-up to 2012-but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to "inspire a generation." The success of Parkrun offers answers.

　　Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.

　　Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally "grassroots", concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods-making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.

　　21.【題干】According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has_____.

　　【選項】

　　A.gained great popularity

　　B.created many jobs

　　C.strengthened community ties

　　D.become an official festival

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】由題干中的關鍵詞According to Paragraph 1, 可以快速的定位到文中的第一段，第一段講了每周六大約有五萬多人都會在他們當地的公園里跑步，跑步的年齡跨度之大：從4歲的小朋友到祖父母年紀的人都有;跑步所用的時間跨度也很大：從世界紀錄的13分48秒到一個小時。由此可見，這是一個全民運動，與A選項的 great popularity相互對應，所以選A. 其他選項，B創(chuàng)造了很多就業(yè)機會;C增強了社會的凝聚力;D成為一個官方的節(jié)日;這幾個選項原文中都沒有涉及，所以排除。 點擊預約 逐題權威視頻解析

　　【選項】

　　A.boost population growth

　　B.promote sport participation

　　【解析】可以發(fā)現原文中第二段第一句話Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “l(fā)egacy” is failing與題干中的關鍵詞London's Olympic “l(fā)egacy” has failed to...對應，所以可以鎖定文章的第二段，從而找出解題的關鍵。第二段前半部分講了在最初的時候Olympic的目標，然而，事實卻事與愿違，...but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 由這句話可以看出，Olympic并沒有推動大眾的參與性，與預期的目標不符，所以選擇B。 點擊預約 逐題權威視頻解析

　　【選項】

　　A.aims at discovering talents

　　B.focuses on mass competition

　　D.does not attract first-timers

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】由題干中的關鍵詞Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that...可以知道這是想考察Parkrun和Olympic的區(qū)別。追溯到原文，可以看到文中的第三段第一句話：Parkrun is not a race but a time trial.從這句話可以排除A和B，因為A和B都和競爭有關，D選項可以從這一段的這一句話：there is much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is ...可知，Parkrun有很多第一次參加的人，所以排除D. 最后可以知道，答案選C，因為parkrun不是比賽，所以就不重視精英主義。 點擊預約 逐題權威視頻解析

　　【選項】

　　A.organize "grassroots" sports events

　　B.supervise local sports associations

　　C.increase funds for sports clubs

　　D.invest in public sports facilities

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】由題干中的關鍵詞the governments should...,可以知道，命題人想要考察的是對于Parkrun這一項大眾運動，政府應該做點什么。所以，考生要快速的定位到原文中有關政府的段落，即第四段，If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods—making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. 從這里可以知道，作者希望政府能夠為Parkrun提供場所和錢，并針對學校制定相關條例以鼓勵全民運動。由此可以排除A，B，C.最終選擇D。點擊預約 逐題權威視頻解析

　　 25.【題干】The author's attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is_____.

　　【選項】

　　A.tolerant

　　B.critical

　　C.uncertain

　　D.sympathetic

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】由題干中的關鍵詞the author’s attitude to what UK government have done for sport可以再次鎖定原文中關于政府的部分，可見這一題與24題是有一定聯(lián)系的。第四段一開始作者提出了自己對政府的期許，但是事實上，政府卻沒有達到這一期許。But successive government have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. 政府負責賣地，從地方政府壓榨金錢，不重視學校的體育運動�？梢�，此處作者指責政府的一系列行為，由此可以得出答案B. tolerant:寬容的，容忍的; uncertain：含糊的，不確定的;sympathetic：同情的，贊同的。 點擊預約 逐題權威視頻解析
