26、ange 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

27、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,healthierand produce more winners. Ithas not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million

28、in the runup to 2021but the general populationwas growingfaster.Worse, the numbers arenow fallingatan acceleratingrate.

The dualaim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcome

31、rs.Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in theplanning 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

32、space for playing fields and themoney to pave tennis and netball courts, andencouraging the provision of allthese activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling greenspaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of

33、 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. 【题干】 According to Paragraph1, Parkrun has .【选项】Agained great popularity Bcreated many jobs Cstrengthened community ties Dbecome an official festival【答案】 A【

34、解析】由题干中的关键词According to Paragraph 1,可以快速的定位到文中的第一段，第一段讲了每周六大约有五万多人都会在他们当地的公园里跑步，跑步的年龄跨度之大：从4 岁的小伴侣到祖父母年纪的人都有；跑步所用的时间跨度也很大：从世界纪录的13 分 48秒到一个小时；由此可见，这是一个全民运动，与A 选项的 great popularity相互对应，所以选 A.其他选项， B 制造了许多就业机会； C 增强了社会的凝结力；D 成为一个官方的节日；这几个选项原文中都没有涉及，所以排除；22. 【题干】 The author believes that London's O

35、lympic "legacy" has failed to .【选项】Aboost population growth Bpromote sport participation Cimprove the city's image Dincrease sport hours in schools【答案】 B【解析】可以发觉原文中其次段第一句话Parkrunissucceedingwhere Londons Olympic “legacy ” isfailing与题干中的关键词Londons Olympic “legacy ” has failedto. 对应，所以可以

36、锁定文章的其次段，从而找出解题的关键；其次段前半部分讲了在最初的时候 Olympic 的目标，然而，事实却事与愿违，.but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate.由这句话可以看出， Olympic 并没有推动大众的参与性，与预期的目标不符，所以挑选B；23. 【题干】 Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it .【选项】11第第 1111 页页，共共 2299 页页 |

37、精精.|品品.|可可.|编编.|辑辑.|学学.|习习.|资资.|料料. * | * | * | * | |欢欢.|迎迎.|下下.|载载. Aaims at discovering talents Bfocuses on mass competition Cdoes not emphasize elitism Ddoes not attract first-timers【答案】 C【解析】由题干中的关键词Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that.可以知道这是想考察 Parkrun和 Olympic 的区分；追溯到原文，可以看到文中的第三段第一

38、句话： Parkrun is not a race but a time trial.从这句话可以排除A 和 B，由于 A 和 B 都和竞争有关， D 选项可以从这一段的这一句话：thereismuchjoyover a puffed-outfirst-timer being clapped over the line as there is .可知， Parkrun 有许多第一次参与的人，所以排除 D.最终可以知道，答案选C，由于 parkrun不是竞赛，所以就不重视精英主义；24. 【题干】 With regardto masssport,the authorholdsthatgovern

39、ments should .【选项】Aorganize "grassroots" sports events Bsupervise local sports associations Cincrease funds for sports clubs Dinvest in public sports facilities【答案】 D【解析】由题干中的关键词the governments should.,可以知道，命题人想要考察的是对于 Parkrun这一项大众运动，政府应当做点什么；所以，考生要快速的定位到原文中有关政 府的段落，即第四段，If there is a role

40、 for government, it should really be gettinginvolved in providing common goodsmaking sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision ofall theseactivities in schools.从这里可以知道，作者期望政府能够为Parkrun 供应场所和钱，并针对学校制定相关条例以勉励全民运动；由此可以排除A，B，C.最

41、终挑选 D；25. 【题干】 The author'sattitudeto what UKgovernments have done forsportsis .【选项】Atolerant Bcritical Cuncertain Dsympathetic【答案】 B【解析】由题干中的关键词the author sattitudetowhat UKgovernment have done forsport可以再次锁定原文中关于政府的部分，可见这一题与24 题是有肯定联系的；第四段一开头作者提出了自己对政府的期许，但是事实上， 政府却没有达到这一期许； But successive gov

42、ernment have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from localauthorities and declining attention on sport in education.政府负责卖地，从地方政府压榨金钱，不重视学校的体育运动；可见，此处作者指责政府的一系列行为，由此可以得出答案B. tolerant:宽容的，容忍的；uncertain：模糊的，不确定的；sympathetic：怜悯的，赞同的；Text 212第第 1122 页页，共共 2299 页页 |精精.|品品.|可可.|编编.|辑辑.|学学.
