2022年考研英语二|外刊英语阅读-民间公园跑活动热度胜过奥运会Pt.2

考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。

学习步骤如下：

1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解

2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入

3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）

Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to lever a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners. It has not happened. The number of adults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run-up to 2012 – but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesity has risen among adults and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation”. The success of Parkrun offers answers.

短文翻译

伦敦奥运会的遗留影响未能奏效，而公园跑的活动兴盛了起来，十年前的某个星期一，第30届奥林匹克运动会被宣布在伦敦举行。规划文件保证，奥运会遗留影响将促使全国的体育爱好者离开自家的沙发出去锻炼，人民群众会更加健康，并产生更多的获奖者。可是这一切并未发生。每周进行体育锻炼的成年人数量确实有所增长，在 2012 年伦敦奥运会到来之前增加了将近 200 万人，但总人口数量的增加却更快一些。然而糟糕的是，现在这些数字正在加速减少。反对者宣称，每周至少进行 2 小时体育锻炼的小学生的数量几乎减半。成人和儿童的过度肥胖问题有所增加。官方继续反思为什么 2012 年伦敦奥运会没有能够“鼓舞一代人”这个问题。公园跑的成功则给出了答案。

题目解析

22.【解析】可以发现原文中第二段第一句话Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing与题干中的关键词 London’s Olympic “legacy” has failed to...对应，所以可以锁定文章的第二段，从而找出解题的关键。第二段前半部分讲了在最初的时候Olympic的目标，然而，事实却事与愿违，...but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 由这句话可以看出，Olympic并没有推动大众的参与性，与预期的目标不符，所以选择B.promote sport participation。
