阅读理解。     The New York City Marathon was started by a man named Fred Lebow. It began in 1970 as a small,
unimportant race. Only 127 people ran, and just 55 of them finished. They ran around Central Park four
times. Few people watched them run. However, over the years the marathon grew and became more popular.
     Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon. Runners must be at least 18 years old,
but there is no age limit (限制). In fact, the oldest runner was an 89-year-old man. Recently, more than 27,000
people ran in the New York City Marathon. Large crowds cheered the runners and offered them cold drinks
and encouragement.
     The course (路线) of the marathon has changed, too. Instead of running around Central Park, the runners
go through the five districts of New York City: Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
The marathon begins at the base (基座) of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island. The runners go
across the bridge into Brooklyn. Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx. The marathon finishes
in Central Park in Manhattan. The complete course is 26. 2 miles, and takes the best runners less than 3 hours.
     Although it has changed since 1970, the New York City Marathon is always exciting. Through the years,
many unusual events (事件) have happened during the marathon. For example, Pat Tuz and John Weilbaker
got married a few minutes before the race. Then they ran the race with their party members. Some people
run the whole marathon as a family. Other people run the race backwards.
     In the fall of 1992, Fred Lebow, the founder (创始人) of the New York City Marathon, slowly ran his
last race. He was very ill with cancer, but he did not want to stop running. In October 1994, Fred died.
However, the New York City , Marathon, and all its excitement, will continue for many years to come. 1. 根据短文内容完成句子(每空限填一个单词)。      The course of the New York City Marathon in 1970 was to ___________ ___________ the Central

     Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in the Olympics. But they often don"t realize
how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics. A sport needs to be well-organized and popular before the
Interracial Olympic Committee (IOC) will consider it. An international federation must govern (控制) the
sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards (标准). What"s more, men from
at least 75 countries and women from at least 40 must play the sport.
     However, even meeting those conditions isn"t enough. The IOC always tries to keep the member of
athletes at about 10,000 for each Olympics.Since most modern Olympics already include so many athletes,
introducing a new sport often means cutting other events.
     The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what new sports should be included. While new
sports are added to the Olympics,most of them will simply become events in another sports meeting. In
Beijing, open water swimming will become part of swimming, while women"s steeplechase (障碍赛) will
be added to athletics. 1. How can a sport be added to the Olympics? 从短文中找出三个条件。
(1) ______________________________________________________
(2) ______________________________________________________
(3) ______________________________________________________2.根据文章内容，选择适当的词语完成句子。
________ and ________ will become new sports in the 2008 Olympics.

阅读文章，根据文章内容完成表格。     A taboo is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking
of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.
     Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners around our city. Mr. Singh was from India and
Mr. White from the USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be
unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (随意的). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave
of his hand.
     In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn"t touch the beef and
Mr. White seemed not to like chickens" claws(爪子). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and
continued to explain that we didn"t know it was a taboo in India to shake one"s left hand. Mr. Singh explained
that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don"t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that
it was not usual in the States for people to eat chickens" claws. He went on to say that Americans don"t usually
get into each other"s personal space. Isn"t it a good lesson to remember?
