1 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For those who have never tried it, scuba diving (水肺潜水) has the reputation for being     1     extreme sport, but this couldn’t be     2    (far) from the truth. Scuba diving, with all the deep breathing     3    goes with it, is almost like underwater yoga (瑜伽). It offers people a chance to forget about trouble and focus on the here and now, thus     4    (provide) a sense of calmness that is hard to find on land.

While scuba diving, you won’t be looking at your phone. Nor will you have to make a mental effort     5     (get) away from the real world because physically, you already have! The underwater scenery provides the perfect place to calm your mind with     6     (peace) surroundings to admire.

Yoga lays stress on the control of breathing in and out, as breathing     7     (consider) the fundamental connection     8     body and mind. The number one rule of scuba diving is to breathe     9     (constant) and never hold your breath. A diver who is relaxed in body, breath, and mind becomes one with the water. It’s the supreme form of     10     (relax) when all you can hear is bubbles and the sound of your own breathing.

2 . This activity will melt away the pounds, build your body and leave you on an emotional high. Yet the form of exercise, the fitness trend of the year, does not require gym membership or a personal trainer. All you need to do is walk.

"Walking is a refreshing alternative to complicated aerobic （氧）routines and overpriced gym membership," says personal trainer Lucy Knight, author of a new book on the exercise. “It is free, enjoyable and already a part of everyday life. All you need to do is correct your technique, walk faster and for longer and you will lose weight?"

There is much evidence of the benefits of walking. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh recently discovered that overweight people who walked briskly （快）for 30 to 60 minutes a day lost weight even if they didn't change any other lifestyle habits. Another American study found that people who walked for at least four hours a week gained less weight than couch potatoes as they got older. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts medical school found that people who walked every day had 25 percent fewer colds than those who sat a lot. Best of all, walking makes you feel good about yourself "For people suffering from depression, walking three to four times a week for 30 minutes has been shown to lift their mood,” says Knight.

But how to walk your way to weight loss and wellness? Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Actually, you would probably need to walk at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weight. "Your workout plans depend on your level of fitness. You should aim to progress by increasing your walking time by five minutes every two weeks, and walk a bit faster. In just three months, the results should speak for themselves," says Knight.

5 . The true Olympic spirit has been displayed by Canadian cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth, who helped Russian athlete Anton Gafarov with his broken ski during the Men’s Sprint Free Semifinals.

Gafarov’s start wasn't smooth. He fell three times, crashing early in the race and breaking his ski. It was clear that Gafarov was out of the race for the men's finals and wouldn't be able to compete for medals. Still, he wanted to finish in front of the home crowd. but his left ski was too badly damaged in the crash and its base had come off. The Russian skier faced finishing the race by walking to the line, not skiing.

However, the Russian's fall was seen by Canadian coach Justin Wadsworth, who immediately ran on to the course and helped Gafarov. “I went over and gave him one of Alex Harvey's, a member of the Canadian team who didn’t qualify for the finals. It was about giving Gafarov some dignity so he didn't have to walk to the finish area,” Wadsworth said. “We help because we know everyone works so hard in our sport,” says Wadsworth, who was an Olympic skier for the S before becoming a coach. “Everyone wants fair results. It was a matter of allowing Gafarov to finish the race.”

Gafarov was thoughtful about his performance. “My fall cost me a broken ski and a pole,” said Anton Gafarov, adding that he decided to continue fighting for the finals despite all the difficulties.

Gafarov believed the race should be finished in any way possible. “It was a matter of principle to hold on to the end,” he added. He is not devastated (毁灭) by his failure and is eager to take part in the next Winter Olympics despite back problems due to injuries.

6 . It's free and requires no equipment. Besides, the scenery can be amazing. It's no wonder running is among the world^’ s most popular sports. Research suggests running can significantly improve your health.     1    

Running just once a week, or 50 minutes a week, reduces the risk of death at a given point in time.     2     This is good news for those who don't have much time on their hands for exercise. But it shouldn't discourage those who enjoy running longer and more often. We found even "hardcore" running (for example, every day or four hours a week) is beneficial for health. Nor do the benefits necessarily increase by running at high speeds. We found similar benefits for running at any speed between 8 and 13 km/h. It might be that running at your own "most comfortable pace" is the best for your health.

    3     Running may lead to overuse injuries. These occur as a consequence of repeated mechanical stress on the tissue without enough time for recovery. Sudden death is also likely to happen during exercise, though, this occurs very rarely.

Therefore, for beginning runners, start slow and gradually increase the pace, duration and weekly frequency. Set your aim at 50 minutes a week or more, and run at a comfortable speed.

If you don't like running alone, consider doing it along with others.     4     It can be hard to start running, but it shouldn't be too hard.     5     There are more than 800 other interesting sports to choose from. The benefits of many other sports (such as swimming, tennis, cycling and aerobics) are comparable to the ones found for running.

A．If you don't like running, don't force it.

B．However, keep it in mind that there are risks as well.

C．It also indicates you needn't run fast or far to gain the benefit.

D．It can increase your motivation and provide a fun social experience.

E．Running may help you live longer but more isn't necessarily better.

F．The benefit doesn't seem to increase or decrease with higher amounts of running.

G．Doing it in many sessions spread across the week brings much more benefits.

8 . Changing the Game

On a warm September evening in London, The Arch climbing wall, just south of the River Thames, is packed. Scores of people wander around on the thick crash pads, chatting, waiting their turn and offering the odd shout of encouragement to those clinging on to the colourful climbing walls.

Rock climbing was once classified as an “extreme sport”. But indoor centres like The Arch, which offer climbing without the need for rocks, are bringing it into the mainstream. The British Mountaineering Council estimates there are at least 248 public climbing walls in Britain, a number that has risen by 30% since 2010. In 2020 the sport’s governing bodies are hoping to see an even bigger increase in interest. Along with skateboarding, surfing and karate(空手道), rock climbing will be making its first appearance as an Olympic sport at the summer games in Tokyo.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is frank about the ambition to appeal to a younger crowd who may be less familiar with longer-standing sports such as athletics and weightlifting. The crowd at the Arch is exactly what the IOC has in mind: mostly young professional letting off steam after work, who see climbing as a more engaging ans sociable alternative to jogging on running machines or pumping iron in a gym. Between them, the new sports will mean another 18 events and 474 athletes at the Tokyo games.

Officially, all four sports are delighted with their new status. But with the exception of karate, all of them have counter-cultural, anti-establishment roots. Some stars have wondered whether accepting the Olympic torch means going against their beliefs. Owen Wright, a famous surfer, has said that surfing is more art form than sport, and therefore not suitable for the games - though he has since gone back on his word, and hopes to represent Australia in Tokyo.

Adam Ondra, a Czech who is one of the world’s climbers, said he might steer clear of the games because of the format. The eventual Olympic champion will have to master all the three disciplines including bouldering (climbing without a rope, low to the ground, with a focus on hard, gymnastic moves), lead climbing (roped climbing up a tall wall of increasing difficulty) and speed climbing. Bouldering and lead climbing feature new routes in each stage of a competition, in an effort to imitate the variety of real rock. But speed climbing takes place on a standard, unvarying course. Because of this, said Mr. Ondra, “speed is a kind of artificial discipline ... and this is against the soul of climbing.”

Skateboarders, also notably rebellious, can be strikingly young. Sky Brown is set to become Britain’s youngest Olympian and has settled down to training. By the time of the Tokyo games, she will have turned 12.

1. Which of the following statements is true about rock climbing？

A．It originated in The Arch, a sports centre on the River Thames.

B．It has evolved from a mainstream sport into an extreme sport.

C．Spectator’s encouragement contributes to its rapid expansion.

D．The increase in climbing walls reflects a growing interest in it.

2. IOC introduced rock climbing into the Olympics in order to _________

A．familiarize the global population with the new sport

B．attract young people who lack interest in traditional sports

C．enable the young to let off their energy after work

D．challenge the dominant status of traditional sports

3. What can you infer from the star athletes’ responses according to the passage?

A．Surfers are expected to strike a balance between art and sport in the Olympics.

B．Rock climbers must be self-disciplined if they are to win the championship.

C．Adam believes that the soul of climbing consists in its harmony with nature.

D．Strikingly young skateboarders have an advantage over other opponents.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A．With the addition of new Olympics sports, stars are divided on whether to participate.

B．Rock climbing, skateboard, surfing and karate are accepted as Olympics sports.

C．Extreme sports athletes rebel against traditions while training for the Olympics.

D．The appeal of a new sport event consists is changing for format of this game.
