How to plan your routes to avoid busy places
Whether you are a beginner or already a regular runner, these apps will come in handy for planning routes that avoid busy places on your next run.
Strava
Just put in whether you're running or cycling, how far you'd like to go and whether you're keen to avoid hills, and the app will then suggest a number of routes near you,based on where other runners have been.It is a good way to see running routes you might not have explored.
Komoot
As you plan the route, it'll work out the distance of your run and give you the option to input your running speed, allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.
Map my run
Map my run gives runners the option to plan their own route, or the ability to search through popular running routes near you, which is even more helpful for beginners.The app gives you the option of saving your favourite routes and accessing them on the app if you get lost midrun.
OS Maps
Another hugely popular mapbuilding platform, OS Maps, is pretty hightech when it comes to planning a running route.You'll need a subscription to get some of the features, but using the free app you can find local running routes.There are almost two million routes stored in the routes database, and many of them are free.

To the cheering of taxi drivers and the honking of horns, the comedian and actor Eddie Izzard ran into London yesterday to complete his 43rd marathon in 52 days.In total he had covered 1, 100 miles.His 43 marathons were in aid of the charity Sports Relief, which raises money for the poor all over the world.So far Izzard has raised more than £200, 000.
Fighting blisters (水疱) that have caused the nails on his smaller toes to fall off, he ran up The Mall and into Trafalgar Square, where he had started 7.5 weeks ago.In finishing he proved what many thought was an impossible task: that a 47yearold comedian with no sporting experience could do something a top athlete might find difficult.
After only six weeks' training he started out on a journey that would take him to every corner of the British Isles.“The first three weeks were the hardest,” he said.The nonstop pressure on his body made him unable to sleep at night and he would wake exhausted with “blisters on top of blisters”.
But the people he met along the way cheered him up.“People stopped their cars and cheered, they gave me money and food.” More than 500, 000 people “followed” the comedian, in a different sense, on Twitter.Running into London he looked lean and muscular.“Everyone says my legs look very good but I thought they looked quite good beforehand,” he said.
Simon Blease, 51, a sports doctor and mountain runner who has been following his progress, was waiting on Tower Bridge.“I didn't think he could do it,” he said.“Like a lot of people I thought he would have a good try, but his body would break down.Someone with so little training.I find it extraordinary that he has done it.”
Asked what he had gained, Izzard said “I know now I can do that.Sport is one of those words that stopped being part of my life when I was about 14.Sporting success was not something I ever associated myself with.” He now plans to continue jogging and hopes to inspire others into sport.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了喜剧演员Izzard通过跑马拉松的方式为贫困人群募款, 并且讲述了他在进行训练时克服的种种困难, 同时他也希望能通过他的努力去影响更多的人参与到运动中。
4.Which of the following statements is true about Eddie Izzard?
A.He took part in 43 marathon competitions in 52 days.
B.He was sponsored by Sports Relief in the running.
C.He ran 1, 100 miles for the purpose of helping the poor.
D.He took the challenge to prove he could be a top athlete.
解析 C 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“In total he had covered 1, 100 miles.”在这项活动中Izzard最终完成了1 100英里, 为穷人募款。故选C。
5.What difficulty did Eddie Izzard meet with during the running?
A.Injury in his ankles.
B.Sleeplessness at night.
C.Pressure to win.
D.Inadequate time.
解析 B 细节理解题。文章第三段提到“The nonstop pressure on his body made him unable to sleep at night...”无法停止下来的压力使得他无法在晚上睡着, 也会因为“水疱上又长水疱”而疲倦地醒来。因此Izzard遇到的问题是在晚上无法睡着。故选B。
6.What can we learn from Simon Blease's words?
A.He used to think Eddie would give up halfway.
B.Training may not be necessary for marathon runners.
C.Eddie was a good model for others to follow.
D.He owed Eddie's success to his strong body.
解析 A 推理判断题。根据第五段可知, Simon Blease认为Izzard不可能完成马拉松的比赛, 因为他觉得可能跟很多人一样, Izzard的身体吃不消这个高强度的训练, 很有可能会中途放弃, 故选A。
7.According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT describe Eddie Izzard?
A.Humorous. B.Persevering.
C.Loving. D.Creative.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据第四段提到“Everyone says my legs...”每个人都觉得他又瘦又有肌肉, 但是他却半开玩笑地说他之前的腿更好看, 说明了他作为喜剧演员的幽默, 故A项正确。文章第二段提到“where he had started 7.5 weeks ago...”他只训练了7周半, 但是却在47岁的年龄以一个喜剧演员的身份完成了专业运动员都觉得困难的任务, 故B项正确。文章第一段最后一句提到“So far Izzard has raised more than £200, 000”目前为止Izzard已经为穷人募集到20万英镑的善款, 说明他是一个非常博爱的人, 故C项正确。而文章并没有对“有创造性”这一点进行论述, 故选D。

Tired of your quiet daytoday life? How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport?
You can ride a bicycle, right? In that case you're halfway to becoming a mountain biker.All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas.Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
Not challenging enough? Skydivers jump from planes at a height of 1,000 to 4,000 meters.You have to be fit but there's no age limit for this sport.For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54.The minute she came down, she wanted to go up again.She said: “It was so attractive.”
Some adventurers have invented base jumping, in which people jump from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute.Many of their jumps aren't legal, especially in the cities.Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard—London's 310meterhigh building four times.He says, “Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane.In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building where you can see people and cars, the experience makes it very real.”
It seems there's no shortage of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart beating wildly.Surfing, diving, rock climbing...And how about extreme ironing? That is, pressing your clothes on the top of a mountain! Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a lot of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the ironing.That man was Phil Shaw.For him, the excitement of this sport comes from looking at the viewers' faces.Shaw says, “Sometimes they look confused; sometimes they laugh.It's fun to see how people react to it.”
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些极限运动,有山地骑车、跳伞、定点跳伞和富有想象力的极限熨衣。

A.Skydivers have to be very healthy.
B.Skydiving is not challenging enough.
C.Elderly people can also take up skydiving.

解析 C 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“You have to be fit but there's no age limit for this sport.For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54.”可知,作者想用第三段的例子来说明老年人也可以参加跳伞运动。故选C。
10.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The sense of height.

B.He wanted to make ironing more fun.

It's cold and dark outside,and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea ago.
According to The Huffington Post,an outdoor run in winter burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its core temperature.Furthermore, research shows that people run faster in cold weather than in warm weather — and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making the muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity (湿气) in summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.
Of course, the threat of smog in some builtup areas is a big problem to winter exercise.Heart attacks, strokes, and lung cancer are all dangers of running in smog.The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (废气), and go early in the morning,before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

Building team spirit.
Sports provide children with the important lesson of learning how to work in a team. 19 By working together they will learn each other's strengths and weaknesses and will be better able to decide and work out the best plan for the team.This will without doubt help them in their future lives and jobs as well.

Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (筋斗).She looked at her little sister angrily, Tilly, across the room.This was Tilly's first week at gymnastics.Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years.Why couldn't Tilly find her own thing to do? It was the same at home.Tilly followed Violet everywhere.
“Violet, you're up!” called Violet's instructor, Miss Taylor.Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms.She did one, two, three somersaults.Miss Taylor clapped.“Perfect!”
Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet's somersaults.“Tilly!” called Tilly's instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room.“Your turn to do somersaults.” Tilly walked nervously.She bent down to start a somersault.When she rolled, she fell heavily on the blanket.Kids laughed with surprise at the noise.
Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran toward the restroom.She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted.But it didn't feel right.After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom.She found Tilly crying hard.Violet put an arm around her sister.Tilly cried, “I don't want to do gymnastics anymore.” This was Violet's chance.If she said nothing to her sister, Tilly might quit gymnastics forever.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150左右。

Seeing a smile on Tilly's face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try?” Tilly smiled a little more.“OK.” Plucking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Violet.Nobody could feel more on top of the world than her then.Gratitude to her elder sister filled her eyes.
