Treiber’s model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race.With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the 揷arrying capacity?s(承载能力) at each point on the route.(which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward).Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, 6,000 participants.The traditional route had to be changed in 2017,because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely.It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel.Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options.The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used.Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided—and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge.On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route.The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team, and eventually chose this option.

Ⅱ.任务型阅读ossibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things.You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything.This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action.Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.
1.________
This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction:Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the pushback of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your todo lists s going to be or how long it’s going to take you.Not starting is failing.Tell yourself, 揂s soon as I get going, I抣l feel more motivated.?And you抣l realize it抯 not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.
2help..________
Be aware of your selftalk and stay confident.You have the choice to replace negative selftalk with a more encouraging and friendly voice.A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self璪elief as its driving force; sA voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.
Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you抣l feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you抣l even start to fool yourself into believing it抯 true.
3er .________
There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you.They are smart and can always encourage you to be better.Study their qualities.Study their habits.Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to.Compare stories, successes and failures.Let their inner light guide you.
4.________
You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it.Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done.Think about it.Write down your past successes.Consider using a journal to keep track of them.You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results.It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come.Be happy with your progress and move on.
5.________
Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process.Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it.Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success.Push through!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
1.解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中的“I have to admit to being completely
frustrated by the blocking and for 18—19 miles was just keeping away from
people and being held up”以及下文内容可知,马拉松跑步比赛中最糟糕的事是遇到有危险的阻碍。故C项正确。
2.解析:选D。正误判断题。根据第二段最后两句“At first the flow rate increases as the density increases,since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time.But if the density becomes too high,there’s a risk of jams,and the flow rate drops sharply.”可知,开始时,流动速度加快,随后当水流变稠时流动速度减慢。故D项正确。
3.解析:选C。正误判断题。根据最后一段第二句“The traditional route had to be changed in 2017,because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely.”可知,改变传统道路的原因是交警不再愿意关闭道路以保证长跑者安全通过,故C项与原文不符。故选C项。
4.解析:选C。主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句“Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig halfmarathon in central Germany,which attracts around 6,000 participants.”最后一句“The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team,and eventually chose this option.”以及全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了一种解决马拉松比赛中阻塞问题的新技术。故C项正确。
