    The word “parkour’comes from a French phrase roughly translated as “military obstacle course(軍事障礙課程).” All first glance parkour looks like an extreme sport, and it certainly has many of the same qualities of an extreme sport , However, it is considered by many traceurs as more of an anrt and exercise, which allows for individual expression and also prmotes, inner strength and personal growth,

   It introduces us to complete freedom from obstacles, and it is this freedom that makes parkour very qppealing in strict control of modern societym It is method that’s available tous at any time to deal with the obstacles facing us, both metal and physical, No obstacle, no barrier can stop the tranceur,:they continue moving forward in spite of , and in harmony with these,

While parkour does allow for a great deal of originality , there are certain methods commonly used when practicing it, The traceur choose his/her own path through the environment to create unique and flowing movement, adapting ot and using anything in his pathm When many techniques or rmoves used to overcome obstacles are linked together in an efficient and continuous waym it is known as a “run”, If you see somoeone that looks like they’re running from the police, but there is no one running afterm it’s probably parkour,

This idea of the chase represents and expreses the movement of parkour quite well, In fact , it is the form of movemnent that our ancient ancestors may have used to hunt for food, or escape from animals on the plains of Africa , In adapting instantly to whatever comes forth wihtout thinking about it, we naturally flow over and around all obstacles. In practicing parkour, we are reviving and developing that ancient instinet(本能)

The attitude behind parkour also combines the mentality of a child at paly , That unlimited imagination and energy combined with a complete ignoring of social practices epitomizes(成為…的縮影)the traceur, Others look at a rail or wall and see a barrier; we look at it and see a launch pal. And her, let’s not forget that we do this because it’s fun! The world is our jungle gym, le’s go play!

Suppose you discovered an unusual animal, one not described in amy persent zoology book

How would you begin ot identify a creature that may ? or may not ?exist? Or suppose you came upon an animal that scientisets thought had died thousands of years ago, These are exactly the kinds of puzzling situations that crypto-zoologists deal with wvery day,

Caypto comes from the Greek words kryptos, which means hidden , and zoology, the study of animal. Of course, crypto-zoologists must acquire a thorough and complete knowledge of all kinds of animals, bothe living and extinct, such as dinosaurs, In addition, they must be able to tell the difference between a real discovery and a case of mistaken identity,

You may have heard of people who calim they’ve seen the Loch Ness Monstor or Bigfoot, Most crypto-zoologist doubt that proof of either Nessic of Bigfoot will everbe found, But they have many discoveries of less impressive creatures, like the pseudoryx, to investigate(調(diào)查)

The pseudoryx, from the Vietnamese rain forest, looks like a goat, but it is really more closely related to the ox . The evidence for the pseudoryx was piceed together from the villagers’ collection of bones, and hides. Even though the researchers could not find an actual pseudoryx, a talented Vietnamese taxidermist was able to reconstruct a model from the parts the researchers brought to him , Scientists also analyzed the genetic material from a pascudoryx’s bones, Their analysis confinned that the pascudoryx was certainly a unique new specics, unlike any that had been indentified before.

Other crypto-zoologists are presently working to prove the existence of a small ape called the orang-pen-dek on the island of Suunatra, Still others are looing into sightings of the moa, a flightless bird which was thought to be extinct for hundreds of years

New typec of animals are continuing to be discovered The crypto-zoologist is constantly analyzing the facts and trying to solve the mysteries, For every mystery that si solved, a new one is likely to appear.,

72. From the second paragraph , we know that            

A crypto-zoology is a science coming from Greece

B doing researing in crypto-zoology is a demanding task

C crypto-zoologists try to cetermine whether animals really exist

D crypto-zoologists are skillful at distingushing between theory and assumption

73. Which of the following is true about the parts collected

A An artificial copy was made from the parts collected

B Evidence from villagers helped to find a real pseudoryx

C The genetic material is compared with that of a goat and an ox

D It’s doubtful whether pscudoryx is different from the existing animals

74. What is the best title of the passage?

A Uncovered truth in animals

B Looking for unknown animals

C Crypto-zoology-a new field of science

D Crypto-zoologists ?the detectives in science

75. The examples of animals in the passage are used to          

A appeal readers to solve mysteries

B show how crypto-zoologists work

C inform people that manhy animals are in great danger
