試題分析：文章是廣告題材的，介紹了幾個活動，交代活動適宜的人群，活動的內(nèi)容，時間地點和參加活動的注意事項。
小題1:推理判斷題。從那個第二段的句子：Sports writing: For the Love of the Game和Listen as some professionals discuss the special experience in reporting of sports news.因為是關于體育寫作的，所以要參加文章的第二個活動，選C
小題2:細節(jié)判斷題。由文章的第四個活動介紹可知， The Art of the Review是由Sam Tanenhaus所主持的。選A
小題3:推理判斷題。在第二個話題中， sports writers are  anything but audience說明sports writers并不是觀眾，故A項不正確。最后一段中的New York應該指的是New York City，而不應該是The New York Times，故B項不對。在第一個話題中，專家們將會談飲食在個人、全球健康中的作用和食物方面的政治觀點，因而C項錯誤。在第三個話題中，從How much of an effect doesthe book review  have on book sales？可推知書評對書的銷售應該有影響。選D

From the outer of New York to the heart of Singapore, nature is everywhere you’re not looking in some of Earth’s most crowded big cities. Outdoor adventure is often just a few stops on the train—or a short drive- away from the annoying crowds.  Here are a few favorites to get you going:
Mount Hollywood Trail（林間小道，鄉(xiāng)間小路） Los Angeles
It’s not a skyscraper or a Ferris wheel, and there’s no expensive restaurant up top. But if you want an absolutely unforgettable, no-admission-charged, 360-degree view of the entire Los Angeles region, it’s yours. All you have to do is walk a little. One of the preferred exercise routes, the Mount Hollywood Trail, is easily accessed from the parking lot of the famous Griffith Observatory; you see what you get at the end of this steep 1.5-mile trail, which winds its way through the Griffith Park wilds up to the mountain’s 1,640-foot peak.
Bronx River, New York
It may not be on your Top 10 list of things to do when you finally get to the Big Apple, but exploring the almost-secret river that flows through one of New York’s most mysterious boroughs (自治市) is an unforgettable experience. The Bronx River Alliance, a non-profit group that has worked tirelessly to bring the much-abused river back to life , operates cycling and canoeing trips along the river, from the rugged Hunts Point section down near the harbor on up through the borough.
Southern Islands, Singapore
Believe it or not, tightly packed Singapore does have plenty of open space left. There are actual trails right in the middle of everything, if you know where to look. But to really get away from it all, the Southern Islands, a small group of little green dots just off the city state’s southern shoreline, are just the thing.
Lee Valley, London
This East London river valley changed last summer, when anyone near a television got an eyeful of Olympic Park, built directly in the middle of the valley. Inside the park, beautifully landscaped sections quickly became a favorite relaxation spot for games goers. At present, you’ll find miles of walking paths worth exploring. Start at the Waltham Cross train and follow the signposted walking route southbound, guiding you past important historic industrial areas, through interesting city neighborhoods, past the western side of Olympic Park and on to the Thames.
小題1:If someone wants to enjoy an unforgettable experience for free , he can go to ______.
A．Mount Hollywood Trail and Bronx River
B．Mount Hollywood Trail and Southern Islands
C．Lee Valley and Southern Islands
D．Bronx River and Lee Valley
小題2:The writer of the passage wants to ________.
A．inform the readers that nature exists in crowded big cities
B．a(chǎn)ppeal to more people to outdoor adventure
C．recommend several historical spots to readers
D．present various approach to outdoor adventure
小題3:We know from the passage ________.
A．it’s difficult to find a proper trail in packed Singapore
B．the Thames is not far away from the East London river valley
C．The Bronx River Alliance has succeeded in running the river
D．you may have trouble reaching the Mount Hollywood Trail
