Module2 The Renaissance Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节) 第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。 Some young Cambodians are learning a new sport—skateboarding.The country's first skateboard park is located on the grounds of a local charity group at the edge of Phnom Penh,the capital. Sports like Khmer boxing and soccer are wildly popular in Cambodia.But Chea,who has been skating for 6 months,says skateboarding has already become his favorite sport. The skateboarders are learning tricks like launching a jump or flying through the air on their narrow wooden boards. A non-governmental organization called Skateistan Cambodia organizes weekly programs at the park.Skateistan started its work in Afghanistan years ago.Rory Burke is working with the group which expanded to Cambodia last year. Rory Burke points out,“Yeah,it's definitely not a typical Cambodian pastime(休闲活动).And I think the idea of ‘why skateboarding’exists because it's not been done before here.We want to use skateboarding as something saying,‘Hey,this is something new and different.’And that kind of itself becomes a_little_bit_of_hook.People see it and they think and they say,‘ Wow,what is that?’ and they want to get involved.” Skateistan partners with local groups work with young people.The park is on the grounds of the group known as PSE,where children attend school and learn a trade.There are almost one hundred twenty participants.They all come from troubled lives. |
