Ⅳ 阅读理解(每小题2.5分,满分10分)
Fifty percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of
Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less
than two percent of Kenya's population. This fact has puzzled
sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort
trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people
to run so fast?
A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and
discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even
1

when they were running long distance. The Kalenjins live in
high-elevation (高海拔的) villages in Western Kenya. People
living there produce more red blood cells, which support the
transport of oxygen throughout the body. Scientists believe
there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low
heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to
outperform those who train at low elevation. The Danish
scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared
them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have
1
2

单元小测
lower body mass indexes—a measure of body fat based on
weight and height, and longer “birdlike” legs than Danish people.
As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the
conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed
gene”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this
conclusion. They owed their success to hard work and endless
hours of training.
Although the controversy (争议) over the “speed gene”
remains unsolved, a British runner Mo Farah's experience offers
1

单元小测
an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized
he wasn't meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan
runners were training in England then. After he observed the
Kenyans' strict training routines and dedication to their sports,
Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder than he
had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah's running career
exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the
5,000m and regularly beats Kenya's top runners.
Farah's story proves what Kenyans have known all along.
Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast and never give up.
