Section Ⅰ “Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In 2024, China held 671 marathons and road races, showing the growing popularity of these events. The number reflects the nation's increasing enthusiasm for running and the desire for a healthy lifestyle. Marathons come in various types. The full marathon, with a distance of 42.195 kilometers, challenges even the most seasoned runners who have taken part for many times, testing their endurance (耐力) and willpower to the limit. It suits highly trained athletes who have spent months, even years, preparing their bodies and minds. The half marathon,21.0975 kilometers long, is easier to reach. It attracts those with a good running base who want a big challenge but not the full marathon distance. It allows runners to experience the excitement of long-distance running without the extreme physical and mental demands. The quarter marathon, with a distance of about 10.548 75 kilometers, is suitable for those who have been regularly running and have participated in shorter races. Road races, on the other hand, are running competitions held on paved roads. They can include shorter distances like 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers. These shorter road races are ideal for beginners or those who want a fun, less intense running experience. They also offer a great way for people to get fit and stay active, as they are less demanding in terms of training and preparation. These events promote not only physical health but also a spirit of perseverance (毅力) and determination among participants. They bring people together, encouraging a sense of community and teamwork. Runners from all walks of life come together to support and cheer each other on, creating a positive and inspiring atmosphere. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了2024年中国马拉松和公路赛的举办情况、不同类型赛事的特点及赛事对参与者的意义。 1．How does the author show the popularity of marathons and road races in paragraph 1?

Many were attending parties to watch Super Bowl LIX of this year. The Super Bowl is the championship game of professional American football held by the National Football League (联赛), or NFL, which has 32 teams mainly based in large cities across the US. The first professional league was formed in 1920，when players of four teams met in Canton, Ohio. The group first called itself the American Professional Football Association but changed the name two years later to the National Football League. In 1960, a Texas businessman pushed the effort to create the American Football League, or AFL. The two leagues competed with each other to sign top football players from universities around the country. In 1965, established NFL players began negotiating (谈判) to play for the competing league, AFL. So, officials of the two leagues decided to work together. This agreement established a championship game between the two leagues. It was officially called the AFLNFL World Championship Game but became known as the Super Bowl. The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 in Los Angeles, California. The Green Bay Packers defeated (战胜) the Kansas City Chiefs. It was far from an exciting game. Many of the seats in the sports center were vacant. That changed with the Super Bowl played two years later. Experts say the public finally accepted the new league when the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts. After that game in 1969, officials of the two leagues decided to create a new National Football League. They divided the teams into two competing conferences (体育协会), the American Conference, or AFC, and the National Conference, NFC. Each year, the conference champions play in the Super Bowl. Today, the Super Bowl is a major sporting event, attracting tens of thousands of people around the globe. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Super Bowl的诞生和发展历程。 5．Why was February 9, Sunday of 2025 important for many Americans?

D．Adaptable. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“It was far from an exciting game. Many of the seats ...when the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts.”可知，那远不是一场激动人心的比赛，以及两年后Super Bowl的比赛情况发生了改变，专家说公众终于接受了新的联盟。由此可知，那场比赛观众并不多，所以体育场的许多座位都是空的，vacant意思是“空的”，与Empty“空的”意思相符。故选C。 8．What can be the best title for the text?

Studies have shown that it requires rapid-fire decision-making that activates diverse regions of the brain and increases blood flow. It also helps develop new neural (神经的) pathways that can relieve depression and slow down dementia (痴呆). __9__ For one thing, the game is decidedly an equal-opportunity activity. Age, sex and physical condition matter little.__10__ Whether you're young or old, tall or short, slim or not-so-slim, everyone has a shot at glory. For example, Marty Reisman, a legendary American player, was winning medals at national championships in his second decade, as well as his seventh. __11__ If you can't find a Ping-Pong bat in your storage room, an acceptably good one can be bought for about $20, or a set of four, with net and balls thrown in, for less than $50. The game can be played on any table of reasonable size. __12__ Chuang Chiafu, one of China's first great players, sharpened his skills on the front door of his family's home, which he would take off the door every morning and replace at the end of the day. Ping-Pong is an open and easy-to-start activity that benefits players both physically and mentally. With simple equipment and rules, this sport is a hidden diamond for personal and community well-being.__13__ A．In a difficult situation, you don't even need a table. B．In conclusion, we can enjoy great benefits from playing it. C．But what truly sets Ping-Pong apart is its openness to all people. D．Ping-Pong is not just a hobby but a good way to experience life. E．For another thing, perhaps no sport has lower cost to participate in. F．Why not give it a go and discover the potential in table tennis for yourself? G．Instead, individuals of different fitness levels can compete equally in this activity. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，强调了乒乓球在体育和游戏类别中的独特价值。文章通过多个方面阐述了乒乓球对身体和大脑的益处，以及它的普及性和易参与性。 9．选C　下文提到“For one thing, the game is decidedly an equal-opportunity activity.”，指出乒乓球是一种大众都可接受的运动。C项“But what truly sets Ping-Pong apart is its openness to all people.”引出了下文对乒乓球普及性的讨论，符合题意。 10．选G　上文提到“Age, sex and physical condition matter little.”，强调了乒乓球对参与者的包容性。G项“Instead, individuals of different fitness levels can compete equally in this activity.”与上文相呼应，进一步说明了乒乓球的平等性。 11．选E　上文提到“For one thing, the game is decidedly an equal-opportunity activity.”，接下来需要讨论另一个方面。E项“For another thing, perhaps no sport has lower cost to participate in.”引出了乒乓球的低成本优势，与下文提到的购买球拍和球桌的成本相呼应，也与上文的“for one thing”呼应。 12．选A　上文提到“The game can be played on any table of reasonable size.”，强调了乒乓球对场地的低要求。A项“In a difficult situation, you don't even need a table.”与上文相呼应，进一步说明了乒乓球的易参与性。 13．选F　上文提到“Ping-Pong is an open and easy-to-start activity ...community well-being.”，强调了乒乓球的好处。F项“Why not give it a go and discover the potential in table tennis for yourself？”与上文相呼应，鼓励读者尝试乒乓球。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
