1 . Riding bikes should be fun, and in order to have the most fun out there, we rounded up the best beginner cycling tips to help you get rolling.

    1    

Experiencing pain in the front of, your knee? Your seat might be too low, causing you to under-extend during your pedal stroke. This is a common mistake among beginners because most people feel more comfortable and confident if their feet can reach the ground.

Get a bike fit

    2    . The seat height should be high enough to give you a very slight bend in your knee when your feet are at the bottom of the pedal stroke, as mentioned above. Proper reach means your arms make a 45-degree angle over the bike. Too long, and your back will be sore reaching for the handlebars.    3    .

Avoid doing too much too soon

One of the biggest sources of injury comes from trying to take on too much mileage before you’re ready.    4    . Similarly, if you’re on a training ride, don’t start too fast and risk burnout and fatigue in the second half. Warm up during the first third of the ride, and then settle into a rhythm for the second.

Learn how to ride in a group

Group rides have their own rules for a reason.    5    . If it’s your first time riding with a new group, hang out in the back, observe, and ask for help if you need it. No question is a dumb question when your own safety and the safety of the group is at stake.

A．Choose the right bike

B．Set your seat height right

C．Maybe you love riding non-competitively with a group

D．It’s easy to cause a crash if your riding isn’t predictable

E．Too short, and your knees will be too close to your arms

F．To get the right fit, two elements are key: seat height and reach

G．Build up slowly, ease in, and give your body time to adjust to new distances

2 . If you have ever done competitive sports,you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.     1     Here are a few ways to make sure that you’re ready for the first day. 

    2     Ask your coach, gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan. Besides, write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done. 

Ask your coach if you aren’t sure what you need. New equipment can be expensive, so think about using some second-hand equipment if it’s available. Brothers, sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.     3     You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice. If you are a returning player, take out all your equipment, try it on and make sure that it still fits and works. 

    4     Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts. College players, coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps. Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year. 

Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate. Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season, doctors tend to be busy those times of the year. Therefore, set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.     5    

A．Set realistic goals.

B．You can also consider a sports camp.

C．Just make sure that it’s very clean and safe to use.

D．It’s also normal to feel a little nervous about starting.

E．Making the team and getting in shape are great goals.

F．Start by writing an exercise plan if you don’t have one.

G．That can give the doctor plenty of time to fill out your paperwork.

4 . There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route(线路) the city planners laid down for us.

Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination(协调性) and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.

But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”

Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine(事务) and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.

It’s great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.

1. How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?

A．They move on as they wish.	B．They choose the routes the city planners laid down.
C．They run faster than others.	D．They stick to certain routes.

2. Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics?

A．It’s a special way of life.	B．It draws their attention.
C．It’s good for people to keep healthy.	D．It needs some rules and instructions.

3. What is the author’s idea on parkour?

A．It is more formal than other sports.	B．It helps people to be creative.
C．It’s worth adding to the sporting event.	D．It calls on people to work as a team.

4. What is the best title for the passage?

A．A new sports competition	B．Parkour practitioners
C．Training in a different way	D．Making the city their own

5 . 阅读下面的材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

For the first time, a team of refugees will compete at the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a plan this week for a team of up     1     10 Refugee Olympic Athletes.

This news became     2     hot topic on social media Thursday. Facebook users called the plan a “wonderful gesture” and “the     3     (great) news I’ve heard in a while.” More than 40 high-performance athletes,     4     happen to be refugees,     5     (identify) as possible Olympic athletes so far.

CNN reported Thursday that one of them is a 17-year-old     6     (swim) named Yusra Mardini. She fled Syria on a boat headed for Greece from Turkey. The boat started filling with water. Mardini and her sister got in the water and helped pull the boat and its 20 people onboard to     7     (safe).

Mardini now     8    (live) in Germany. She has received funding from the IOC for her training. The Refugee Olympic team will participate     9     the Olympic opening ceremony in Rio on August 5. The team will march out (出场) just before athletes from Brazil.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said that, “By     10    (welcome) this team of refugee athletes to Rio, we want to send a message of hope for all refugees of the world.” The United Nations says that more than 60 million people around the world are refugees.

6 . Olympic host cities are generally considered to be equipped with advanced technology and expensive facilities. Now, people can just go there for a little Olympic-level entertainment.

Athens, Greece (1896 and 2004)

Home to the first modern Olympic games in 1896, Athens' history of the Olympic tradition dates back several thousand years. Every four years, the Olympic torch is lit at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens before beginning its long journey to the new host city. Visitors can walk through the Olympic Velodrome in the Olympic Sports Complex and step back in time at the 50,000-seat stadium.

Barcelona, Spain(1992)

These days Barcelona is among the world's most visitable cities even without Olympic fame, but that isn't always the case. The telecommunications tower built for the games by Spanish architect Calatrava is also an iconic(图像的） device of the city's skyline, and its Olympics stadium- Montjuic Stadium is regularly used to host A-list musical performances like The Rolling Stones, Madonna, and Beyonce.

St Moritz, Switzerland(1924 and 1948)

Appropriately, the town that invented Alpine tourism has hosted the Winter Olympics twice, and continues to make use of its many sports facilities-if you can afford to get there. Stay at the Kulm Hotel for the easiest access to the Kulm Country Club, where guests can skate on the same lake used by mid-century Olympians, or test your courage on the Olympia Bob Run, one of the few places where you can ride a full-speed Olympic bobsled(双人雪橇） on a run constructed entirely of ice.

Sydney, Australia (2000)

The turn-of-the-century Sydney Summer Olympics were named the "Green Games" by the International Olympic Committee (10C) and were designed to introduce a more environmentally conscious way of hosting the event. The structure that best shows Sydney's efforts to be an example of continuing Olympic development is the ANZ Stadium.

1. Where does the host city get the Olympic torch lit?

A．At the Panathenaic Stadium.

B．At the Olympic Sports Complex.

C．At the Montjuic Stadium.

2. Who will probably choose to visit St.Moritz?

A．Those fond of ice-sports.

B．Those fond of listening to opera.

C．Those interested in popular music.

B．They are thought poorly of by the IOC.

C．They are hosted in an environmentally friendly way.

D．Their design intention is proposed by Sydney authority.

7 . Improving as a runner is about more than just running all of the time.    1    In that case, you can make large improvements as a runner in a relatively short time, no matter what your sport, race, or running habits.

    2    It is common for runners to push themselves about the same amount each time, running similarly challenging runs and gradually increasing difficulty. Outstanding runners, however, alternate(交替)an easy, resting run with a very challenging one. It is during these difficult runs，when you really push yourself, that your body snakes the most significant gains.    3    Rather, it is helping rebuild and relax the muscles needed for your big runs.

Keep a relaxed but strong upper body to conserve energy efficiently. You want to keep your chin(下巴)up and your shoulders back, with loose, relaxed arm and hand muscles. Your elbows are bent at 90 degrees but swing freely. If anything, the only muscles you want to focus on keeping strong and tight are the ones in your core(核心).    4    

Use your light run to work up a light sweat. A higher body temperature ensures your muscles are loose and flexible, and your body is pumping blood effectively throughout. For everything other than easy runs, use the first five to ten minutes to build a light sweat and get your body ready for exercise.    5    Slowly pick up speed for short 10 second runs, then return to normal warm-up pace. This helps prepare your muscles for speed.

A．Don't feel like an easy day is "cheating".

B．Alternate easy and hard runs to build strength rapidly.

C．Even five minutes of walking is a good way to get started.

D．"Warming up" truly means you want to warm up your body.

E．You are to pay a little attention to details and a smart training plan.

F．That's because this will naturally help you efficiently channel energy.

G．Remember to relax your face and neck muscles instead of tensing them

9 . 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) is famous 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     (continuous) and never hold your breath. A     10    (dive) who is relaxed in body, breath, and mind becomes one with the water. It’s the supreme form of relaxation when all you can hear is bubbles and the sound of your own breathing.

10 . Water skiing is an exciting water sport that can be a ton of fun. You will get to have a thrilling adventure every time you go out on the water.     1     However, once you do, water skiing is a sport you can enjoy whenever you have a boat and enough flat water.

You and everyone you go with will have more fun if the friends you go with also want to water ski.     3     After you have the boat, the people, and the skis, you will also need a water skiing cable and a life jacket.

For your first time water skiing, you may want to either take a lesson from an expert or find a friend that has experience and is willing to teach you.    4    The observer rides in the boat, but watches the water skier for any signals and helps the driver know when to start and stop.

Once you get going and are able to water ski with ease, you will discover that there are many different types of water skiing. Most people just enjoy regular water skiing, but you may want to check out some of these more specialized types of water skiing.     5

B．It takes a little patience to learn.

C．The idea is to ski on the surface of the water.

D．Your ski tips should be pointing out of the water.
