2013年中考(北京卷)英語聽力真題 短文
Ladies and gentlemen!女士們，先生們！Welcome to the King of the Hill Race.歡迎來到山地越野冠軍賽。Today, you will see some of the strongest players in the world.今天，我們將有幸見到當今世界實力最強的選手。They will try to cross a lake, go through a forest, and climb an icy mountain.他們將盡其所能渡過湖泊、穿越森林、登上冰山。To win the race, they must be the first to reach the top of the mountain and plant their flag.為了贏得比賽，他們必須第一個登上山頂，并將他們的旗幟插在那里。At the start of the race, these players must cross the lake in a small boat.比賽一開始，選手們將劃小船渡過湖泊。But there is a catch.但這里有一個難點。They must cross the lake in pairs.他們必須成雙成對地渡過湖泊。Each boat must take two players across the lake.過湖時，每一條船上必須有兩名選手。So they must work together to decide who goes with who.所以選手們必須共同決定誰與誰組隊。This part of the race takes not only strength and boating skills,這一部分比賽考驗的不僅僅是選手的力量和劃船的技巧，but also teamwork and people skills as well.還有他們的團隊合作能力和人際交往技能。When they reach the other side of the lake, they are then on their own to go through the forest.到達湖泊對岸之后，他們需要獨自穿越森林。The forest is dark and thick, so it is easy to get lost.森林陰森茂密，選手們很容易迷失方向。Once they reach the other side of the forest, they must climb the mountain.他們一抵達森林的另一端，登山之旅便開始了。As they get close to the top, rock will turn into snow and snow will turn into ice.隨著他們逐漸接近山頂，他們會發(fā)現(xiàn)眼前的景象由頑石變成了滿目的白雪，再由白雪變成了整片的凍冰。At the top of the mountain, to win the race, they must plant a flag that can be seen from below.到達山頂后，為了奪取比賽的勝利，他們必須把旗幟插在山下可以看到的地方。Each person has a special color flag.每位選手都有一面唯一顏色的旗幟。When we see the flag, we will know who is the new King of the Hill.當我們看到旗幟在山頂飄揚的時候，今年山地越野賽的冠軍了就誕生了！
