You are going to read a newspaper article about a man who is running round the world. Eight paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from the paragraphs A-I the one which fits each gap (16-22). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
The Runningman
Bryan Green, a 32-year old from London, calls himself the "Runningman". He runs and keeps on running through towns, cities, up mountains and across rivers. Green has set his sights on running round the world.
He then flew to the north of Japan and ran to Osaka in the south. In Australia he ran from Perth to Sydney, and then he began in the Americas, bringing his current total to 23 countries, 45,000 kilometres and 30 pairs of trainers.
【B1】______
When I met Green in Rio, he had just run 70 kilometres, his daily average. He was holding in one hand a two-litre bottle of fizzy juice and in the other a piece of paper that he needed someone to sign, to confirm the time al which he had arrived.
【B2】______
He travels light, carrying with him less than many people take to work. In his backpack he has a palmtop computer, a digital video camera, a Nikon 35mm camera, a rnap, a loo[hbrush and one change of clothes.
【B3】______
"The original idea was just to see the world," he told me. "But, as I soon realised, I could make myself a future. I have learnt how to make money out of what [ do." He started off with£20 in his pocket and estimates that he has earned about E 60,000 so far.
【B4】______
And there is something of the explorer about him. "Of course, I’ve found some places easier than others," he says.
【B5】______
At one point on that stage of the journey, Green got lost and was unable to find enough to eat. But generally he has been lucky with his health: he has not been injured and has never fallen ill.
【B6】______
He speaks no language apart from English and, with no space for a dictionary, has a plastic- covered sheet of A4 paper with a dozen use, fid phrases in various languages. Over dinner he is keen to talk about the Amazon jungle.
【B7】______
However, perhaps the point of a run like Green’s is not to indulge in proper preparation. Its beauty is in the improvisation. "I don’t really analyse the run any more, I just do it," he says.
A I did it for him. Even though he akeady holds the world long-distance running record, he still needs to continue proving he is keeping up a reasonable running speed.
B He has not yet sorted out a route and appears surprised when I tell him that there are no proper roads across it, as local people prefer to use the rivers instead.
C He’s done this by selling his story to journalists. He is very aware that he is a marketable product.
D He has learned that you must take only what you will use. He has no medical supplies and no proper waterproofs.
E Apart from the day in south Australia where it was 45℃ in the shade and he collapsed, Australia is, he says, perfect running country. This compares to his experiences in temperatures of—30℃ in parts of Asia.
F Next week he heads off north, towards the Amazon, hoping to run to New York. After that, he just has to take care of Africa and Antarctica.
G So he is a touchingly solitary figure. He is too mobile to be able to make many friends, although he did meet someone in Australia who cycled next to him for 600 kilometres.
H Fortunately, the cold and the rain don’t seem to bother him. It is partly his strength of character that made him refuse to take health insurance.
I The Runningman recently arrived in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil via a roundabout route: he left London four years ago and ran through Europe to China.
【B2】______
选项
答案
A
解析
上一段最后一句写道;“他需要某个人签字以证明他已到达某地的时间”“…he needed someone to sign,to confirm the time at which he had arrived.”A段告知“我”为他做了签字一事.“I did it for him...”,这里的did比是上下两段内容的契合点与连接点。
