A
This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I threw a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way ”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I put myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
1. Why did people in the class act strangely
A. Because I was too proud of my homework.
B. Because I mistook what the homework was about.
C. Because the whole world suddenly became quiet.
D. Because the teacher’s face turned to a stone.
2. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all
B. the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake
C. the writer knew little about American history
D. the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man
3. Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story
A. Seeing is believing.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. One is never too old to learn.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了作者在新学校接到的第一次任务是在网上查找关于George Washington的信息，由于小作者对历史了解的很少，所以在班级出现了笑话，最后通过他自己的努力成功跳级的故事。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I threw a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.(当我搜索这个名字时，我发现有两个同名的名人看起来完全不同！其中一个发明了数百种花生用途，而另一个则带领某种军队穿越美国。我盯着屏幕，不知道我的老师是指哪一个。我打电话给爷爷，征求他的宝贵意见；让硬币来决定。我扔了一枚硬币，啊！背面！我的报告将是关于发明花生酱的伟人乔治·华盛顿·卡弗的。)”以及根据第三段“Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, ‘’My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.’ The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington (哦，好吧，我把作业放下，坐在桌子旁，急切地想知道我做错了什么。当一位同学开始他的报告时，一切都变得清晰起来，‘我的报告是关于乔治·华盛顿的，他发动了美国独立战争。’整个世界变得安静了！我怎么知道我的老师是指乔治·华盛顿？)” 可知，班里表现奇怪是因为“我”弄错了家庭作业是关于什么。故选B项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington (整个世界变得安静了！我怎么知道我的老师是指乔治·华盛顿？)”可以推知，作者对美国历史了解的很少。故选C项。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者在做了一次糟糕的作业，得到了一个不好的成绩后，并没有气馁，而是更加努力，最后能够跳过六年级而直接上七年级课程的故事。所以B项Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成)符合句意。故选B项。
B
The Government’s sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity (肥胖). It is believed that today’s children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make 520m a year for the Treasury. However, data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate 240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers (制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers’ efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.
However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.
4. Why was the sugar tax introduced
A. To collect money for schools. B. To improve the quality of drinks.
C. To protect children’s health. D. To encourage research in education.
5. How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax
A. They turned to overseas markets. B. They raised the prices of their products.
C. They cut down on their production. D. They reduced their products’ sugar content.
6. From which of the following is the sugar tax collected
A. Most alcoholic drinks. B. Milk-based drinks. C. Fruit juices. D. Classic Coke.
7. What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy
A. It is a short-sighted decision. B. It is a success story.
C. It benefits manufacturers. D. It upsets customers.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国政府对软饮料征收的糖税来解决儿童以及青少年的健康问题，同时该收入用于学校体育。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity.(该税于2016年4月首次宣布，适用于每100毫升含糖超过5g的软饮料，旨在帮助减少儿童肥胖)”可知，征收糖税的目的是帮助儿童减少肥胖，保护儿童健康。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers so they can avoid paying the tax.(此前，制造商已经降低了商店中销售的超过一半的软饮料的含糖量，以避免纳税)”可知，一些饮料公司通过降低了产品的含糖量来避税。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.(然而，一些高糖品牌，如经典可口可乐，已经接受了糖税，并拒绝改变，因为担心会惹恼消费者。果汁、以牛奶为原料的饮料和大多数酒精饮料是免税的，每年生产不到100万升的小公司也是免税的)”可知，糖税主要来自经典可口可乐这些高糖品牌。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities and healthier eating in schools.(根据一位政府官员说法，今天的数据显示了糖税的积极影响，它为学校的体育设施和健康饮食筹集了数百万英镑)”可知，糖税政策带来了积极影响。由此推知，糖税政策的实施是一个成功的政策。故选B项。

C
Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.
To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day”.
“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”
8. How does the writer explain what braille feels like
A. By explaining what braille words look like.
B. By describing how blind people read books.
C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D. By giving examples of different braille words.
9. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille
A. She was excited to get a new skill.
B. She was amazed at the clever idea.
C. She realized she could teach it herself.
D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.
10. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A A discussion to release work stress.
B. Something to improve one’s appetite.
C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.
D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
11. What does Lee think of her job
A. Profitable and hopeful. B. Tiring but meaningful.
C. Relaxing and helpful. D. Boring but challenging.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jenny Lee和其他盲文转录员成功使用电脑程序将故事文字转换为盲文的经历。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.”要了解盲文的感觉，请拿一支圆珠笔并用力压在一张纸上。现在，将纸张翻转过来，然后触摸笔尖产生的凸起点。可知作者通过让读者亲身感受的方式解释盲文是什么。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily.”当Lee第一次看到盲文字母的点时，她想知道自己是否能够轻松阅读和书写它们。可知意在表明Lee对盲文的第一反应是觉得很难学会。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break.”有时，一次又一次地重复一个故事会很累。 Lee会休息一下。以及“When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.”当动物不工作时，Lee喜欢和他们玩几分钟。可推知，对她来说，和狗一起玩一直是中午时段能令人放松的时刻。C项“Something to help restore one’s spirit.”意为可以帮助恢复精力的东西。切合语境。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. ”有时，一次又一次地重复一个故事会很累。 以及最后一段中“Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”通过我的脑力和手指，我将盲文的圆点送到了一些孩子的手中。意在表明作者认为她的工作是累人但有意义的。故选B项。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first talk with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They have to follow special rules. B. They are suitable for the marathon.
C. They must run long distances. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
13. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more effective in body building. B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. D. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. becoming an experienced coach. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Doing regular exercises. D. Getting experts’ opinions.
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.(但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的全部时间都保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。)”可知，竞走运动员之所以有条件要求是因为运动员需要遵守某些特殊的运动规则。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. (因此，她说，一些与跑步有关损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走运动员中并不常见。)”可知，竞走与跑步相比，它的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first talk with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.(她说，事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该先和教练或有经验的竞走者谈谈，学习正确的技术。这需要一些练习。)”可知，Dr.Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选D项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.(研究表明，竞走与跑步有许多健身益处，同时最有可能减少受伤。然而，它确实有自己的问题。)”可知，作者既提及了竞走的优势，又话锋一转指出它具有问题，可以判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选A项。

考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double check the fit.（当你找到一双合适的鞋子，穿上几天再检查一下是否合脚）可知，E选项中they指的是前面提到的shoes，属于指代一致性，另外feel good与the fit有关。由此可知，E项If they still feel good, you can begin running in them（如果它们仍然感觉不错，你就可以穿着它们开始跑步了）符合文意。故选E.
【18题详解】
考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day.（在第一周，不要考虑距离，而是每天多跑5分钟。）可知，此处提到了一周七天的时间。再根据空后it is wise to take a day off to rest（明智的做法是休息一天）可知，剩余的就是六天的时间。由此可知，A项After six days（六天后）符合文意。故选A.
【19题详解】

【答案】 My English Learning
In the first few weeks at senior high school, learning English was a really big challenge for me. There were so many strange words that I couldn’t follow the teacher in class. Besides, I found it difficult to express myself in English, which made me less confident.
With the problems in mind, I turned to my English teacher, who gave me some useful advice. According to what she told me, I began to read some short passages and take notes of the new words. Gradually, my vocabulary was increasing. What’s more, in order to improve my oral English, I made every effort to practice speaking English in school and watch English programmes at home.
At present, I have no difficulty getting involved in class and I am even brave to sign up for an English speech contest. I believe the harder I work, the greater progress I will make.

This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I threw a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way ”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington
Of course my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I put myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
1. Why did people in the class act strangely
A. Because I was too proud of my homework.
B. Because I mistook what the homework was about.
C. Because the whole world suddenly became quiet.
D. Because the teacher’s face turned to a stone.
2. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all
B. the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake
C. the writer knew little about American history
D. the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man
3. Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story
A. Seeing is believing.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. One is never too old to learn.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

The Government’s sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would generate, the first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April, 2016, the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml, was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity (肥胖). It is believed that today’s children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar, putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make 520m a year for the Treasury. However data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount. At present it is expected to generate 240m for the year ending in April 2019, which will go to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers (制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax. Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers’ efforts to avoid the charge, according to Treasury figures. Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import, depending on the sugar content.
However, some high sugar brands, like Classic Coca Cola, have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers. Fruit juices, milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax, as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today’s figures, according to one government official, show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schools. Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance, and the industry is playing its part.
4. Why was the sugar tax introduced
A. To collect money for schools. B. To improve the quality of drinks.
C. To protect children’s health. D. To encourage research in education.
5. How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax
A. They turned to overseas markets. B. They raised the prices of their products.
C. They cut down on their production. D. They reduced their products’ sugar content.
6. From which of the following is the sugar tax collected
A. Most alcoholic drinks. B. Milk-based drinks. C. Fruit juices. D. Classic Coke.
7. What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy
A. It is a short-sighted decision. B. It is a success story.
C. It benefits manufacturers. D. It upsets customers.

Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.
To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day”.
“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”
8. How does the writer explain what braille feels like
A. By explaining what braille words look like.
B. By describing how blind people read books.
C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D. By giving examples of different braille words.
9. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille
A. She was excited to get a new skill.
B. She was amazed at the clever idea.
C. She realized she could teach it herself.
D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.
10. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. A discussion to release work stress.
B. Something to improve one’s appetite.
C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.
D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
11. What does Lee think of her job
A. Profitable and hopeful. B. Tiring but meaningful.
C. Relaxing and helpful. D. Boring but challenging.
D
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries related to running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first talk with a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
12. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes
A. They have to follow special rules. B. They are suitable for the marathon.
C. They must run long distances. D. They are good at swinging their legs.
13. What advantage does race walking have over running
A. It’s more effective in body building. B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries. D. It’s more popular at the Olympics.
14. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking
A. becoming an experienced coach. B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Doing regular exercises. D. Getting experts’ opinions.
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking
A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
