题文
阅读理解 Powerbocking is enough to realize anyone's dreams of super powers:jump six feet in the air and run at25 miles an hour or more.But,instead of costing six million dollars,you can get a pair of "powerbocks"for
just a couple of hundred.
Mankind seems to have a strong desire to get off the ground.In the late 1890's stilt walking(踩高跷)
attracted Europe,with Sylvain Dornon walking from Paris to Moscow on stilts in 58 days.
The inventor of the Powerbock,German engineer Alexander Boeck,studied the movements of
kangaroos in order to develop his original design.And the Powerbock allows humans to extend their own
Achilles tendon(跟腱)to come close to the length and power of those in animals like kangaroos.As a
result,exercising using the stilts reduces wear and tear on feet and knees while still giving the body enough
exercise.
Powerbocking is considered as a form of exercise.You'll burn calories five times faster than jogging and
it employs 95% of the body's muscles.It's also an extraordinarily easy form of extreme sport to take up -it
only takes about 30 minutes to master the basics.
For a start,you'll instantly add 18 inches to your height.And then you'll be capable of the most
extraordinary skills of athleticism.Flipping(翻)backwards 20 times in 20 seconds to set a Guinness World
Record,for example,or leaping over cars.Acquiring them_is an awful lot of fun.It's not surprising that
Powerbocking has been turning up everywhere-on talent shows,commercials and even as part of the
closing ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
But,he warned-if you're interested in taking up this sport,you need to know that no one can agree what
it should be called.The equipment is sometimes referred to as power stilts,jumping stilts,kangaroo boots
and many more.But there seems to be general agreement that the sport ought to be named
"Powerbocking"in honor of its inventor,Herr Boeck.1. What do we know about Powerbocking from the passage?A. It is difficult to learn.

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
