In Malaysia, there is a trail race called the Tunggul Melati Trail (TMT). It takes runners through forests and hills,with beautiful views. This year, 1,525 runners from 25 countries took part in it.
Halimatun Saadiah Mat Nor, a 33-year-old runner, joined the 65km race. It was her first time at the TMT. The race was very hard. She ran in the dark through the night. The heat and endless hills pushed her to her limit. “Towards the end, I felt like crying,” she said.
But Halimatun did not give up. She kept going and finished the race. What’s more, she became the champion of the Women’s Open 65-km category! She said the race tested her body and also her mind.
The trail race is not only a sports event. It also brings visitors and money to the area. The organizer hopes the race will grow bigger and welcome more runners from around the world.
1.1. What can we know about the race?
A Runners are from 25 countries.
B It is held in a big city.
C It lasts for only one hour.
D It is a race for old people.
解析:选A。A 细节理解题。根据第一段“This year, 1,525 runners from 25 countries took part in it.”可知比赛参赛人员来自25个国家。大城市、一小时、老人赛原文均未提及(无中生有)。故选A。
2.2. What does Halimatun think of the race?
A It is easy and relaxing.
B It is difficult but meaningful.
C It is boring and useless.
D It is too short.
解析:选B。B 观点态度题。根据第二段“The race was very hard”、她被酷热和无尽山丘逼到极限、想哭,可见她觉得难;第三段她又说比赛“tested her body and also her mind”、并坚持夺冠,可见在她眼里这场比赛虽然难但有意义。A与原文“very hard”矛盾,C原文未提及,且与坚持完赛不符,D为无中生有(她跑的是65公里赛,并在夜间行进。)。故选B。
3.3. Halimatun is a ________ person.
A lazy
B careless
C brave
D shy
解析:选C。C 推理判断题。 她首次参加TMT就摸黑跑了一整夜、还说“felt like crying”,第三段却“did not give up. She kept going and finished the race... became the champion”——面对艰难仍不退缩,可见她是个勇敢的人。lazy(懒惰)与坚持夺冠相反(颠倒是非),careless(粗心)、shy(害羞)原文均未提及(无中生有)。故选C。
4.4. What does the trail race bring to the area?
A Air and water.
B Jobs and houses.
C Food and toys.
D Tourists and money.
解析:选D。D 细节理解题。最后一段写道“It also brings visitors and money to the area”,即比赛给当地带来游客和收入。空气和水、工作与房子、食物与玩具在原文均未提及(无中生有)。故选D。
5.5.What is the best title?
A How to Run a Marathon
B A Race in the Forest
C My Favorite Sport

解析:选B。B 主旨大意题。全文主线是“森林里的越野跑赛事”:开头介绍比赛路线与规模,中间讲选手坚持夺冠,结尾讲赛事影响,B概括最准。故选B。
