“Excuse me,” ___8___ the sniffling stranger, “but what is the point?”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
For most people, below-freezing temperatures generally put a stop to outdoor exercise, but Siberian native Boris Fyodorov is not most people.
Minutes after the calendar ticked over to this past 2017 New Year’s Eve, Fyodorov set off on a solo, out-and-back marathon run from his home in the Siberian village of Oymyakon, completing the 26.2-mile course — his first marathon — in just over five hours. During the run he experienced temperatures as low as -38 ℃.
And that was just the way he wanted it.
“I heard about other marathons around the globe, naming themselves ‘the coldest’, like the most recent North Pole marathon with runners going at -28 ℃.” Fyodorov told The Siberian Times. 揑 thought surely this cannot be right. Our Oymyakon is the coldest- inhabited place in northern hemisphere. Why don’t we arrange a marathon here?”
Oymyakon is widely considered to be one of the coldest places on the planet, and its record-low temperature of -68 ℃, recorded in 1933, is tied for the coldest recorded temperature for any inhabited place on Earth. The average January temperature in the area is -50 ℃.
Not only did Fyodorov finish the marathon in high spirits, but he also wants it to be colder the next time he tries it. “I really want to organize next Oymyakon marathon in January when the air goes down to -50 ℃ or -60 ℃,” he said.
Fyodorov is not the first person to take on a cold-weather athletic challenge like this. In addition to the North Pole Marathon that he mentioned, the Antarctica Marathon is held every year in late February, taking runners on an out-and-back tour from Russia’s Bellingshausen Station. A second Antarctica event — the Ice Marathon — has been held 80 degrees south since 2006.
1. What does Fyodorov think about the North Pole Marathon?
A. The runners are too slow.
B. The distance is a little shorter.
C. It is not cold enough.
D. It set a new world record of marathon.
2. Why did Fyodorov plan his marathon in Oymyakon?
A. Because Oymyakon is one of the coldest places in the world.
B. Because Fyodorov is more popular in Oymyakon.
C. Because Fyodorov loves Oymyakon and plans to live there.
D. Because Oymyakon has the best route for a marathon.
3. Which part of a newspaper does the passage come from?
A. Health.
B. Education.
C. Culture.
D. Sports.
4. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How Cold Is Too Cold for an Ice Man B. Sports in Cold Areas of the World
C. Where Is It Too Cold for Humans
D. The Antarctic Ice Marathon
答案与解析

推理判断题。本篇文章主要介绍冬季马拉松的相关情况，很显然是关于体育方面的。故答案为D项。
4. 答案
