This is how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThis is a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way.

14、ld be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges.

This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.T
15、oe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling.

20、be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that
21、their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “Theyre expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their
22、minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this gen
23、eration of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, t
24、heyre fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than tha
25、t.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history w
26、hen teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and - 5 -breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family busin
27、ess to taking it over.”24. The study shows that teenagers dont want to _A. share family responsibility B. cause trouble in their familiesC. go boating with their family D. make family decisions25.

Teenage education in family.C. Harmony in family. D. Teenage trouble in family.CThe days of the hunter
29、are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely
30、our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals.
31、Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design
32、; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their wri
33、tings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animals own territory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be att
34、acked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing - not if you - 6 -respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand such beliefs, and can compare
35、 these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tiger
36、s seem no more dangerous than rabbits.27. There is no more hunting in India now partly because_.A. it is dangerous to hunt there B. hunting is already out of dateC. hunters want to protect animals D. there are few animals left to hunt28. The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly_.A. to make the c

Modern hunters should put their safety first第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。The wife-carrying Wor
