Bone runners found in Switzerland date as far back as 3000 BC and there is also evidence of ice skating in Scandinavia in the Middle Ages. Modern skating likely got its start in the Netherlands, where it was considered a national recreation in the early 17th century, when nobles skated on frozen canals for fun. Wealthy Europeans picked up the sport while visiting the Netherlands, and British royals soon brought skating back to England in the late 1600s. When the Thames froze over in 1683, skating was among the many recreations at London's famous winter fair on the ice, which King Charles Ⅱ attended. At the end of the 18th century, American ballet dancer Jackson Haines transformed the sport into what is now known as figure skating by introducing element s of ball et to the ice. According to A Dictionary of American History, Haines skated in bear and ballet costumes and toured with exhibitions across Europe, where he was most admired in Vienna, Austria. Ice skating evolved into other sports, including speed skating and ice hockey. Speed skating has been around as early as Dutch people dared to race on their skates, but hockey developed in19th- century Canada as an icy version of field hockey. Both were well- established by the 1900s, so they were on the list in the first Winter Olympics. Since the 1900s, different ice skating clubs have been founded around the Western world. As interest grew, the clubs' membership increased over the next 50 years. By the end of the20th century, ice skating was so widespread that it was one of the few recreations enjoyed by almost every Westerner. ( ) 1. Which of the following is the oldest sport according to the text? A. Ice hockey. B. Speed skating. C. Bone running. D. Figure skating. ( ) 2. Who contributed most to the figure skating? A. British royals. B. Jackson Haines. C. Dutch people. D. King Charles Ⅱ. ( ) 3. In what order did the author write the passage? A. In order of importance. B. In order of place. C. In order of time. D. In order of frequency. ( ) 4. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How ice skating came into spotlight. B. How ice skating became well- received. C. Why ice skating is famous in the world. D. Why ice skating enters Winter Olympics. B What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something? “ One thing we' ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr Jack H. Wilmore, one of the authors of Physiology of Sport and Exercise.“ As time goes by, I think you' ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set.” Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three- minute, 59- second mile in 1954. Today, sub- four- minute miles are considered routine even in high school. And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by me re inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991. One factor is now becoming more understood and heavily emphasized: sports psychology. Getting inside the athlete's head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological aspect of sports has become more and more esteemed. He points out that most professional teams have hired sports psychologists for their players. In addition, every aspect of athletics— training, nutrition, injury treatment— is far better than it's ever been.“ Besides, children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty- five years ago,” Wilmore says.“ That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely, and they become much better at it.” “ There's a lot we don't know yet about the human body,” he adds. “ And one of those things is the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.” ( ) 5. Which statement will Wilmore probably agree with? A. It is preferable to set universal standards for athletes. B. Athletes will become the most sought- after celebrities. C. It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body. D. Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements. ( ) 6. Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce two great athletes. B. To show some of the latest world records. C. To prove the limits of the body can be pushed. D. To explain what athletes can achieve under stress. ( ) 7. What does the underlined word“ esteemed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Similar. B. Valued. C. Complex. D. Specialized. ( ) 8. How are today's children different from those years ago according to Wilmore? A. They participate in far more sports. B. They are less likely to get injured in sports. C. They begin playing sports at a much earlier age. D. They become more skilful at one particular sport. 二、完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (2023长沙雅礼中学期中) When studying at the University of Pittsburgh, I went home every weekend.“ Look, I got a best sportsman's jacket!”I said.
