4.It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented.And at first sight,it looks like the easiest.Competitors have to do two things.The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car,and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult.Lots of people are doing the same thing.And the winner of the"handstand"contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.That person gets to own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do.At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still.But when the contest has been going for four or five days,standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world.And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention.After a few days,the hand seems to belong to someone else----someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat,drink or do whatever else is necessary.No one is allowed to lean on the car for support.Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention.They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the"handathon"is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter.Competitors in the Longview handathon certainly don't seem to do much preparation.Most say they will prepare by"getting lots of sleep".Others say they will"eat healthy food"or"pray for success".The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are competitions,but there is little rivalry (競(jìng)爭(zhēng)) between competitors.They help each other out and keep each other's spitits up.People who drop out early return with food,drink and encouragement.

29.What ability is most important in a handathon?C
A.Not leaning on the car
B.Standing without any support
C.Having strong powers of attention
D.Eating and drinking in five minutes
30.Why is handathon popular?A
A.Anyone who is interested can join in it.
B.Someone can win with special training
C.It doesn't need to make any preparation
D.People get along well with each other in it.
31.Which of the following statements about the"handathon"is right?B
A.Competitors are not allowed to drop out
B.Competitors don't encourage each other
C.Competitors can sit down and take a 10-minute break every hour
D.A competitor has to place his or her hand anywhere on the body of a car.
32.Which is the writer's opinion about the"handathon"?C
A.It is the easiest of all sports.
B.It can last a whole day.
C.It is not as easy as it looks at first.
D.It is no good competing in a"handathon"

分析 本文寫(xiě)了一項(xiàng)比賽活動(dòng)handathon,比賽規(guī)則和需要的技能等方面的介紹.

解答 29.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention.成功者需要表現(xiàn)出極大的注意力.可以推斷出這個(gè)比賽需要的最重要的技能是極強(qiáng)的注意力,所以答案選C.
30.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子Maybe the popularity of the"handathon"is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter可見(jiàn)handathon的普及是因?yàn)閰⒓拥娜瞬挥脤?zhuān)門(mén)的訓(xùn)練,可以推斷出任何人只要感興趣就可以參與,所以A選項(xiàng)符合.
31.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子People who drop out early return with food,drink and encouragement可見(jiàn)是可以提前退出的,A不正確;They help each other out and keep each other's spitits up從句中可見(jiàn)他們相互幫助,使每個(gè)人都很精神,但并不相互鼓勵(lì),所以B選項(xiàng)的說(shuō)法是正確的;Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat這里是五分鐘而C選項(xiàng)中是十分鐘不正確,所以C選項(xiàng)不正確;No one is allowed to lean on the car for support不允許靠在車(chē)上,可見(jiàn)D選項(xiàng)把身體靠在車(chē)上的說(shuō)法不正確;故答案選D.
32.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子And at first sight,it looks like the easiest.開(kāi)始的時(shí)候看起來(lái)很容易.根據(jù)后來(lái)的描述可以看出事實(shí)上沒(méi)有看起來(lái)的那么容易,這是作者的觀點(diǎn),所以答案選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋?zhuān)忌紫纫屑?xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).

15.Our experience at the Children's Medical Care Center was eye-opening.We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive treatment.We played with them and taught them to draw pictures.The children,though(61)suffering(suffer) such great pains,were so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them(62)thanwe had expected.
