一、阅读理解
A篇
Marathon is the supreme discipline of long distance running. It is attractive not only to top athletes, but also to hobby runners. The choice of events is almost endless. Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you'll be tempted (诱惑) to run holding a camera.
Ultra Trail of Angkor, Cambodia
The newest of a series of Angkor marathons, this endurance test offers 32 km, 64 km and 128 km routes around the famous temples, including Bayon and Angkor Wat. Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that hug some of the great buildings.
Dodo Trail, Mauritius
Crossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains sadly extinct. While the demanding Xtreme 50 km route covers 828m high Black River Peak, a beginner friendly Mini Dodo Trail (10 km) is easier.
Great Ocean Road Marathon, Australia
Another well known scenic coastal drive, southern Australia's Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May. A neck ache could be a problem: In one direction lies the scenic sea, and in another a handsome forest and, if you're lucky, a koala or two. Be warned, however, that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest marathons.
Big Five Marathon, South Africa
The marathon meets a safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June. The start time is dependent on the race day location of the Big Five members—African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos—as organizers try to guarantee sightings.
1．Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners
A．Ultra Trail of Angkor.
B．Mini Dodo Trail.
C．Great Ocean Road Marathon.
D．Big Five Marathon.
2．Why does the writer mention “neck ache” when introducing Great Ocean Road Marathon
A．To highlight the wonderful scenery.
B．To present the difficulty of the event.
C．To attract attention to physical health.
D．To warn runners of dangerous animals.
3．What do the four marathons have in common
A．Risky and tiring routes.
B．Beautiful coastal views.
C．Chances to see wild animals.
D．Fixed time for annual events.
B篇
Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng, a retired Tibetan couple, have become trailblazers (开拓者) in grape growing and winemaking in their old age.
Lu Sheng learned grape planting and winemaking from her grandmother's sister. Since they retired, the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi. Though the fact that the region's capital, which is 3，600 meters above sea level, is considered unfit for growing grapes, Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015, planting grapes in Tsalna, a town in the suburb of Lhasa.
They received support from the local government, which is committed to developing business and economy. The couple's project provides jobs for rural residents, and, as a result, the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.
“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold, drought and disease, and adaptable to high altitude and open air planting，” Lu Sheng said.
“Thanks to the plateau's sunshine and organic planting, our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa. The grapes are a bit sour and sweet, and they have a high anthocyanin (花青素) content，” she said. Anthocyanins, which accumulate in grape cells and contribute rich colors to wine, are water soluble.
In 2018, Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project, planting nearly 6.67 hectares of grapes. In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and winemaking, they taught the skills to local villagers.
“We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years. They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding，” Hua Sheng said.
Yudron, a resident of Nam, said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village, which has contributed to her income and quality of life. “After working in the vineyards for years, now we know how to make wine. We drink both barley and grape wine now. We love grape wine more, though, as it is healthier.”
4．What did the couple do after their retirement
A．They grew grapes and made wine in Lhasa.
B．They made friends with a French expert.
C．They moved to another city from Lhasa.
D．They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng's grandmother.
5．Why was the couple's project thought of as part of a poverty relief program
A．They donated grapes to local schools.
B．They employed local residents as workers.
C．They provided free wine for villagers.
D．They expanded the project with the local government.
6．Which of the following is a function of anthocyanins
A．They make grapes more delicious.
B．They provide adequate colors for wine.
C．They make grapes a bit sour and sweet.
D．They can accelerate the growth of grapes.
7．What's Yudron's attitude to the project conducted by the couple
A．Indifferent. B．Cautious. C．Appreciative. D．Ambiguous.

【语篇解读】 文章主要介绍了四个风景美丽、会让人忍不住带着相机参加的马拉松赛跑。

2．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据Great Ocean Road Marathon, Australia部分的第二句可知，在赛道上时，你在一侧可以看到风景优美的大海，在另一侧可以看到美丽的森林，幸运的话还能看到一两只考拉，所以脖子疼可能是个问题。作者以“脖子疼”这种幽默的口吻叙述，是为了突出风景的美丽。故选A项。
3．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据Ultra Trail of Angkor, Cambodia部分中的Watch out for monkeys; Dodo Trail, Mauritius部分第一句中的full of wildlife; Great Ocean Road Marathon, Australia部分第二句中的if you're lucky, a koala or two以及Big Five Marathon, South Africa部分第二句中的African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos可知，人们在这四个马拉松赛道沿途都有机会看到野生动物。故选C项。

6．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。由题干中的anthocyanins可定位至第五段最后一句“Anthocyanins, which accumulate in grape cells and contribute rich colors to wine, are water soluble.”可知，花青素使葡萄酒呈现丰富的颜色。故选B项。
7．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Yudron...said she was grateful to the grape planting project”可知，对于葡萄种植项目， Yudron是心怀感激的，该句中的grateful与C项appreciative同义，意为“感激的”。故选C项。
