题目内容

【题目】 Basketball, running and swimming are popular events(项目）at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.

Tug-of-war

This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals.

Rope climbing

It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics.

Race walking

In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they do not run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter in 20 kilometer and 50 kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers.

【1】Which of the following events left the Olympics in 1920?

A.Rope climbing.B.Basketball.

C.Tug-of-warD.Race walking.

【2】The rope in rope climbing was _____________metres long in 1896.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】

本文主要向我们介绍了奥运会上几个没那么流行的运动项目。

【1】

细节理解题。根据“Tug-of-war”下的“This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920”可知，拔河这个项目于1920年退出奥运会。故选C。

【2】

细节理解题。根据“Rope climbing”下的“It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896…The rope used to be 15 meters long.”可知，1896年爬绳项目的绳长15米。故选B。

【3】

推理判断题。A：一个国家只能派出一支队伍参加拔河比赛。根据“Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event.”可知，一个国家不止一支队伍可以参加拔河比赛，该项表述错误；B：爬绳运动首次出现在1932年的奥运会上。根据“It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896.”可知，爬绳运动首次出现在1896年的奥运会上，该项表述错误；C：参加竞走的女性可以参加50公里的竞走。根据“women only race 20 kilometers.”可知，女性只能参加20公里的竞走，该项表述错误；D：今天，竞走仍然是奥运会的比赛项目。根据“Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904.”可知，自1904年起，竞走就成为了奥运会的一项运动，所以今天，竞走仍然是奥运会的比赛项目，该项表述正确。故选D。

【题目】 Americans use many expressions with the word dog. Dogs without owners to care for them lead to a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. ___________ Only those who are capable will have the chance to work in the best company. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard to meet the standards of your strict boss. Such hard work can make people dog-tired, which means no matter how noisy it is, tired people can enjoy a sound sleep like a sleepy dog. ________ If so, they will have no energy to work at all.

Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. ___________ So never try to teach your grandfather at the age of 90 to use a smart phone.

Sometimes, people say love me, love my dog. It means if you love anyone, you will like all that belongs to him, including his weakness and mistakes.

___________ For example, a woman might get mad at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. She may not treat him nicely until he says sorry.

___________ The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs. Because we are going to get soaked in the heavy rain.

A. They believe old people aren’t willing to learn new things and change their ways.

B. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

C. They take their dogs for a walk on sunny days and dress them beautifully.

D. Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other.

E. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.

F. So when the dog gets sick, take him to the hospital at once!

【题目】 When he was 23 years old, he climbed Mount Everest. In 2007, he set another world record by flying over Mount Everest in a powered paraglider (滑翔伞). His first book, Facing the Frozen Ocean, got shortlisted for the UK’s “Sports Book of the Year”. Since then he has written more than 15 books, including the No. 1 Bestseller: Mud, Sweat and Tears.

Bear Grylls

His name is Bear Grylls, and he was the host of Discovery Channel’s famous TV show, Man vs Wild. In the show, he was left in faraway areas in order to show survival (生存的) skills. Millions of viewers watched, breathless, as he climbed terribly dangerous mountains, performed amazing ice climbing, and ran through a forest fire.

Grylls continues to shine with both his amazing shows and charity (慈善) work. And he has set up his own company, Bear Grylls’ Survival Academy, where everyone can learn survival skills from him and his highly trained team.

Recently, Grylls founded Young Survivors – training courses for teenagers, including survival skills and adventure tasks designed to teach the basic rules of outdoor survival self-rescue. Those who complete the course are given a Young Survivors Award. Skills taught include how to build and light a fire, how to tell directions in both day and night, putting up a protection building, bad weather survival and so on. The key focus of the course is getting young survivors back in touch with nature and away from technology.

In Grylls’ own words: “The thing I love about Young Survivor Course is that it is designed to put young adults in just the kind of challenging, character-building and practical situations that help consider them as adults. So often, young adults can feel almost over-protected and are stopped from experiencing some of the best things in life – but the Young Survivor Award will challenge and empower them in an unbelievable fun environment.”
