二、阅读理解
Nowadays more and more young athletes are taking part in the risky activities called “extreme sports” or “X-sports”.
In the past young athletes would play baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement — the closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliff (悬崖) and hike deep mountains.
Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports such as golf. A city kid who couldn’t afford expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. There is even an Olympics for extreme sports, called the winter x-game, which includes snow mountain hiking and ice climbing.
What makes extreme sports so popular Maybe it’s because people love the risk. City people want to be outdoors on the weekends and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt. Sure there’s a risk. Once you go mountain hiking or snowboarding, it’s impossible to go back to have riding or skiing. It’s just too boring.
Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend, groups of friends in their early 30s get together. On weekdays they work as computer programmers in the same office. On weekends they hike mountains together.
Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. But it has been a fact that extreme sports are gaining popularity.
17．Extreme sports started as an alternative to more expensive sports because________.
A．people didn’t like to play golf B．some city kids couldn’t afford expensive sports equipment
C．there is an Olympics for extreme sports D．extreme sports are gaining popularity
18．To have extreme sports, you should ________.
A．have specialized equipment and high levels of skill B．be very young at age
C．do snow mountain hiking and ice climbing D．afford expensive sports equipment
19．The author gives the example of the computer programmers in the same office to show________.
A．young people love risks B．they can’t afford golf
C．they don’t like to play basketball or watch sports on TV D．extreme sports are gaining popularity
20．The main idea of this passage is ________.
A．extreme sports are certainly not for everyone B．the benefits and costs of extreme sports
C．the development of extreme sports D．what makes extreme sports so popular
If the Olympic Games are a history of mankind, wrestling (摔跤) is the prologue (序幕). When the ancient Games of the Olympiad were born, wrestling was already an ancient game. Widely recognised as the world’s oldest competitive sport, wrestling appeared in a series of Egyptian wall paintings as early as 5,000 years ago. When the ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC, more than two thousand years later, it included wrestling and in the years that followed, wrestling featured as the main event.
The sport would return in a similar role when the Olympic Games returned after a 1,500 year absence in 1896. Organisers, seeking direct links to ancient times, found wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world, from Greece, Assyria and Babylon to India, China and Japan. Greco Roman wrestling, a style which was believed to be passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old was brought back into use.
In Greco Roman wrestling, the wrestlers used only their arms and upper bodies to attack. They could hold only those same parts of their opponents (对手). It worked nicely from a historical attitude, but another cheerful and relaxing style was sweeping across Great Britain and the United States by then. Known as “catch as catch can”， it had become popular at fairs and festivals in both countries.
In 1904, the Olympic Games added the second wrestling event and called it “freestyle”. Now, wrestlers could use their legs for pushing, lifting and tripping, and they could hold opponents above or below the waist.
21．The first ancient Games of the Olympiad were held almost ________ years ago.
A．776 B．1,500
C．3,000 D．5,000
22．What does the writer want to tell us by saying wrestling is the prologue
A．The ancient Olympic Games have a long history.
B．Wrestling was an important game in the ancient Olympic Games.
C．Wrestling is popular all the time.
D．Wrestling has a really long history.
23．Why was Greco Roman wrestling brought back into use in 1896 when the Olympic Games returned
A．Because organisers wanted to find direct links to ancient times.
B．Because wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world.
C．Because people believed it was passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old.
D．All of the above.
24．Concerning wrestling, which of the following is WRONG
A．Wrestling has a longer history than the ancient Olympic Games.
B．In Greco Roman wrestling, wrestlers can only use their arms and upper bodies to attack.
C．In 1904, another kind of wrestling took the place of Greco Roman wrestling.
D．In the Olympic Games, wrestlers can hold opponents above or below the waist now.
Park guards who watch North America’s highest mountain say inexperienced and overconfident climbers are taking more risks and endangering themselves and other climbers. The guards suggest many climbers are trying to climb the mountain too fast.
Denali in south central Alaska is 6,190 meters above sea level. So, climbing it requires a high level of skill. Climbers also need to acclimate to high altitudes (海拔), which is unnecessary for climbing most mountains in the US.
The National Park Service recently made a statement (说明) warning that many climbers in the Alaska Range are showing signs of inexperience and overconfidence. After no deaths were reported in 2018 and 2019, at least two people have already died on the mountain in 2021. “Two others were seriously injured,” officials said. Earlier this month, a skier from the state of Colorado died after falling into a very deep cut in the ice. A climber from the state of Idaho was killed by a large falling piece of ice.
The guards made their statement after a Canadian climber was seriously injured after falling nearly 305 meters. He was not wearing climbing ropes. Other climbers reported the fall. “People in a plane studying glacier ice in the area were able to save the man,” park officials said.
The National Park Service’s statement named several reasons for the increase in injuries and deaths. They include extreme tiredness, untested body reactions to high altitudes, quickly changing weather, and not bringing the right equipment (装备).
In recent years, guards said they have seen more climbers try to reach Denali’s top by climbing more than 2,000 meters from a base camp to the top in one day. This is nearly impossible except for the most experienced climbers. Experts suggest that climbers take 17 to 21 days to reach the top of Denali. That includes rest days and extra days to wait out bad weather.
25．What does the underlined phrase “acclimate to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Get used to. B．Get tired of.
C．Take control of. D．Look forward to.
26．What is special about climbers in 2021 compared with those in 2018 and 2019
A．They are not so confident. B．They face higher altitudes.
C．There are deaths among them. D．There are more beginners among them.
27．What mistake did the Canadian climber make
A．He didn’t train himself to climb. B．He didn’t make sure of his safety.
C．He didn’t stay with other climbers. D．He knew little about the glacier ice.
28．What do experts advise climbers planning to climb Denali to do
A．Take suitable equipment.
B．Build up their strength.
C．Do more training before the climbing.
D．Spend more time completing the climbing.

The New York Marathon (马拉松) is my goal for this year. I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.”
At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise.Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake.
And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly.
As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point.
As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.”

74．One possible version:
My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. Gradually, my jog slowed to a walk. My body drained of energy and my mind felt extremely defeated. Just as I was going to turn around and head for home — feeling more discouraged than I could recall in years — I saw that elderly Chinese gentleman again. Seeing my shirt in the distance had prompted him to march towards me. With limited English he pointed to the letters and enthusiastically said, “You very good… you very fast.”
Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. He cast his usual warm smile at me and gave me a thumb up as we passed each other. A surge of warmth across my whole body, I didn’t turn from the trail where my previous dark mood had intended. Thanks to that little boost, I continued for six more miles that day instead. I was not that fast, but was very good in my spirit and my heart. Luckily, the elderly gentleman saved me from the shadow of negative feedback.
