21. According to Paragraph 1, Parkrun has.
- A. gained great popularity
- B. created many jobs
- C. strengthened community ties
- D. become an official festival
答案：A
答案句：The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.
参考译文：Parkrun现象始于十几个朋友，并在英国激发了400场活动，海外更多。活动免费，由数千名志愿者提供服务。跑步者从四岁到祖父母辈；他们的时间从Andrew Baddeley的世界纪录13分48秒到一小时不等。
定位线索：题干“According to Paragraph 1”→答案句取自第1段“The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events”；文中“inspired 400 events”对应选项A“gained great popularity”（同义改写：激发400场活动→广受欢迎）。
解析：题干问Parkrun的情况，答案句直接描述其从十几个朋友发展到400场活动，且免费、志愿者众多、参与者年龄跨度大，这些细节共同说明其广受欢迎，对应A项。B项“created many jobs”无中生有，文中只说志愿者服务，未提就业；C项“strengthened community ties”文中未提；D项“become an official festival”与“Events are free”矛盾，且未提官方。
22. The author believes that London’s Olympic “legacy” has failed to.
- A. boost population growth
- B. promote sport participation
- C. improve the city’s image
- D. increase sport hours in schools
答案：B
答案句：Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to lever a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run-up to 2012 – but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate.
参考译文：规划文件承诺，奥运会的伟大遗产将是把热爱运动的民族从沙发上撬起来。人口将更健康、更健壮，并产生更多赢家。这并没有发生。每周运动的成年人数量确实上升了，在2012年之前增加了近200万——但总人口增长更快。更糟的是，现在这个数字正在加速下降。
定位线索：题干“London’s Olympic 'legacy' has failed to”→答案句“It has not happened”对应“failed”；文中“lever a nation of sport lovers away from their couches”对应选项B“promote sport participation”（同义改写：让运动爱好者离开沙发→促进运动参与）。
解析：题干问奥运遗产未能做到什么，答案句明确说“It has not happened”，即未能实现让民众离开沙发、更健康的目标，对应B项。A项“boost population growth”偷换概念，文中说人口增长更快，但这是背景而非目标；C项“improve the city's image”无中生有；D项“increase sport hours in schools”文中未提，且后文提到学校体育时间减少。
23. Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it.
- A. aims at discovering talents
- B. focuses on mass competition
- C. does not emphasize elitism
- D. does not attract first-timers
答案：C
答案句：Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sport and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.
参考译文：Parkrun不是比赛而是计时赛：你唯一的对手是时钟。这种精神欢迎任何人。对于气喘吁吁的首次参赛者被鼓掌冲过终点线的喜悦，与对顶尖人才闪耀的喜悦一样多。相比之下，奥运申办者想让更多人运动并产生更多精英运动员。双重目标混淆了：对成功的强调超过参与，这让新手望而生畏。
定位线索：题干“Parkrun is different from Olympic games”→答案句“The Olympic bidders, by contrast”直接对比；文中“The stress on success over taking part”对应选项C“does not emphasize elitism”（同义改写：不强调成功→不强调精英主义）。
解析：题干问Parkrun与奥运会的不同，答案句通过对比说明Parkrun欢迎任何人、不强调成功，而奥运强调精英，对应C项。A项“aims at discovering talents”是奥运目标，不是Parkrun；B项“focuses on mass competition”偷换概念，Parkrun是计时赛，不是竞争；D项“does not attract first-timers”与“welcomes anybody”矛盾。
24. With regard to mass sports, the author holds that governments should.
- A. organize “grassroots” sports events
- B. supervise local sports associations
- C. increase funds for sports clubs
- D. invest in public sports facilities
答案：D
答案句：If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods – making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools.
参考译文：如果政府有角色，它应该真正参与提供公共物品——确保有运动场空间和铺设网球场、无挡板篮球场的资金，并鼓励在学校提供所有这些活动。
定位线索：题干“governments should”→答案句“it should really be getting involved in providing common goods”；文中“space for playing fields”和“money to pave tennis and netball courts”对应选项D“invest in public sports facilities”（同义改写：提供场地和资金→投资公共体育设施）。
解析：题干问政府应如何对待大众体育，答案句明确说政府应提供公共物品，包括场地和资金，对应D项。A项“organize 'grassroots' sports events”无中生有，文中说政府不应介入基层概念；B项“supervise local sports associations”无中生有；C项“increase funds for sports clubs”范围缩小，文中说的是公共设施，不是俱乐部。
25. The author’s attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is.
- A. tolerant
- B. critical
- C. uncertain
- D. sympathetic
答案：B
答案句：But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in education. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.
参考译文：但历届政府主持出售绿地、挤压地方当局资金，并减少对教育中体育的关注。未来政府需要做更多来提供体育繁荣的条件，而不是冗长、有价值的策略。或者至少不要让他们更糟。
定位线索：题干“attitude to what UK governments have done”→答案句“But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces”；文中“presided over selling green spaces”和“declining attention”对应选项B“critical”（同义改写：主持出售绿地、减少关注→批评态度）。
解析：题干问作者对英国政府体育作为的态度，答案句列举政府负面行为（出售绿地、挤压资金、减少关注），并用“need to do more”和“not make them worse”表达批评，对应B项。A项“tolerant”与负面列举矛盾；C项“uncertain”无中生有，作者态度明确；D项“sympathetic”无中生有，作者是批评而非同情。
