Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide. Yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. 24Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .A. the film, Casino Royale B. its founder, David BelleC. its risks and tricksD. the varieties of participants25The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“ ”.A. streetsB. objectsC. roofs D. barriers26Which of the following is true of parkour?A.

It wasnt very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member. We listened to each other and the interest was not put-on; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, andwe were even willing to admitwe loved each other.Today, the family round table has moved to the local fast-food restaurant and talk is not easy, much less encouraged. Grandma, who used to live upstairs, is now. the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-old.So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as “What have you been doing, Bobby?” have been replaced by “Im busy, go watch television. ”And watch TV they do; count them by the millions.But its usually not childrens television that children watch. Saturday morning, the childrens hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.Where are they to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. Thats where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 p. m. , not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean, the dishwasher turns itself off.Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond!Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child when a program not intended for that child is viewed. Parents need to intervene (干涉). Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs, but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all.28. From the first two paragraphs one may infer that the writers a attitude towards “the old days” is_.A. being tired of B. hating C. preferring D. disappointing29. The working parent is not willing to listen to her (his) four-year-old child talking about his sandbox games because _.A. she (he) is boring B. she (he) is busy C. she (he) is very tired D. she (he) is angry30. If we use television with some _ television can provide our young people with much knowledge.A. instruction of experts B. indication of teachersC. direction of engineers D. judgment of our own31. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the children.B. Nonintervention may be a good policy in international affairs.C. Parental nonintervention will not be praised.D. Parents need to intervene. 【答案】28.C29.C30.D31.A31.A 主旨大意题。最后一段的第一句是这一段的主题句，故选A。考点：考查生活类短文阅读DOur quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch. But when two Chinese begin to dig a tunnel from both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side. -The Chineses firm belief is that it doesnt matter so long as a tunnel is dug through, and if we have two instead of one, why, we have a double track to boot.The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. But, worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. (This sort of thing is bound to come to China, as is evident, for instance, in the case of a factory of twenty thousand worker. The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement. A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five oclock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three oclock for this, five oclock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and seven oclock for arriving at the destination. It just makes life not worth living.32. The writer objects to efficiency mainly on the grounds that it _.A. entitles us to too much leisure timeB. deprives us of leisure timeC. urges us to get things done punctuallyD. imposes on us a perfect concept of time33. In the eyes of the author, the introduction of industrial life gives rise to _.A. more emphasis on efficiencyB. magnificent idling of timeC. the excitement of lifeD. terrifying schoolboy34. The passage tells us _.A. Chinese workers come to work when it is convenientB. Americans ought not to work so hard for efficiencyC. Chinese engineers are on better terms with the managementD. all Americans are forced to be efficient against their will35. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _.A. every American is arranging his time in the pattern of a schoolboyB. every American is reluctant to be efficientC. every one should have some time to spend as he pleasesD. being punctual is an undesirable habit which should not be formed【答案】32.B33.A34.B35.C【解析】试题分析:文章讲述了中国和美国对待效率的不同的态度。32.B 细节理解题。根据第一段“ it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, 可知效率剥夺了我们的自由时间，故选B。33.A推理判断题。根据第二段中第二段第一句The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. 通过第一段可以看出, 与efficiency对立的是this kind of glorious and magnificent idling, 而industrial life又forbids, 自然说明industrial life gives rise to more emphasis on efficiency.34.B 细节理解题。选项A不符合原文中的内容; 选项C不属于本文讨论范畴；选项D语气太重, 不是被强迫讲求效率, 也不是违背自己意愿, 只是为了适应工业社会;故选B。35.C 推理判断题。本文中作者对于效率的看法是不必刻意要求自己严格遵守时间，我们对待时间的态度是我们应该有一些自己的闲暇时间供自己支配，故选C。考点：考查政治文化类短文阅读第二节(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选项。Save Your Time, Money and Stress with Savvy Rental Car StrategiesRenting a car can be expensive, confusing, and stressful but it doesnt have to be. Here are several helpful strategies to save money, time, and stress on your next (and every) car rental.u Sign Up for Loyalty ProgramsRental car loyalty programs are free to join, so register for any programs you might use in the future. My favorite car rental loyalty program benefit is that I can skip the counter and head right to my reserved car. Some programs allow members to choose a car from the available pool. 36 u Optimize Your Strategy Do you really need a rental car from the airport? For instance, if your flight arrives at night, take a free hotel shuttle and pick up your car the next day. The car rental location might even be at your hotel or can pick you up (or deliver the car to you). 37 u 38 For a city trip, you may not even need a rental car. Research whether mass transit, taxi, Uber, bike rental, and other transportation methods will suffice. Parking charges at downtown hotels may cost more than your car rental rate, so it may be doubly in your favor to give up a rental car. In some locations, a bike might be more efficient and economical than a car. u Search for Specials 39 In conjunction with your personal discount code, you may also find a last-minute rate, free rental day, or other promotion. My favorite annual travel deal is driving a car one-way out of Florida after Spring Break with rates as low as $1 per day.u Consider Alternative Rental OptionsMajor car rental companies might have an associated discount brand at your rental location, like Firefly for Hertz. 40 An independent or smaller local agency may fit your needs; like A1 or Lucky Owl in Honolulu. Many people prefer to check rates on Hotwire and Priceline, especially for last-minute rentals. ARental rates are likely lower away from the airport, plus you might save the cost of an entire rental day.BI use discount-finding websites to track my car reservations.CSmaller brands, like Thrifty and Fox, might offer better service and lower rates.DIn addition to saving time and offering freedom of choice, loyalty members earn points and receive special promotions.ECheck car rent
