35、arkrun is not a race but a time trial.从这句话可以排除A和B，因为A和B都和竞争有关，D选项可以从这一段的这一句话：there is much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is .可知，Parkrun有很多第一次参加的人，所以排除D. 最后可以知道，答案选C，因为parkrun不是比赛，所以就不重视精英主义。24.【题干】With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments s

36、hould_.【选项】Aorganize grassroots sports eventsBsupervise local sports associationsCincrease funds for sports clubsDinvest in public sports facilities【答案】D【解析】由题干中的关键词the governments should.,可以知道，命题人想要考察的是对于Parkrun这一项大众运动，政府应该做点什么。所以，考生要快速的定位到原文中有关政府的段落，即第四段，If there is a role for government, it shoul
