16、on in under two hours possible? Will a human ever be able to run that fast? Currently, the world record for the 42.195 km (26.219 miles) distance is held by Kenyan Dennis Kimetto. His time of 2:02:57 hours was achieved at the Berlin Marathon of 2014.For many years, long-distance runners have been tr
17、ying to get nearer and nearer to the magical mark of two hours. Studies published in the past by medical and athletic experts have come to the conclusion that running a marathon in under 2 hours can be done. They even see a time of around 1:57 as the fastest a human can ever run. However, we will ha
18、ve to wait at least a decade or longer for this to happen.Many things must fit together to deliver an under two-hour marathon. An athlete would have to have the perfect body size and weight, the right running strategy and of course, the right nutrition. Todays most perfect runners come from Kenya an
19、d Ethiopia, countries that have dominated (统治) long-distance races for decades. East African athletes have long legs and lungs that can take in lots of oxygen. Training at high altitudes gives them a strong heart and a very large blood volume (容量).Ideal weather conditions with cool temperatures and
20、almost no wind will also be needed to attempt such a quick time. An ultra-fast marathon would only be possible on flat city courses, like Berlin or London, with few curves (弯道).Since the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, athletes have tried to run long-distance races as fast as possible
21、. In 1900, the marathon world record was around 3 hours. In the following 30 years, men were able to reach a mark of 2:30. As time went on achieving faster times became more and more difficult. In the last 15 years, for example, the world record has improved by only 3 minutes.On the other hand, some
22、 experts think that such fast performances will only be possible with the help of illegal drugs or substances (物质).

25、se of the text?A. To inform. B. To discuss.C. To educate. D. To persuade.C In a faraway area in northern Mexico, there lives a native Indian group called the Tarahumaras (塔拉乌马拉族). Besides owning some cooking tools and farming equipment, the Tarahumaras exist much as they did before the Spanish arriv
26、ed in the 1600s. They live in caves or in small houses made of stone and wood, and they eat what little they can grow on the dry land.Ten years ago, linguist (语言学家) James Copeland entered the world of the Tarahumaras to study their language and culture. Since then, he has been visiting the Tarahumar
27、as three or four times a year. Tarahumara is not a written language, so part of Copelands project was to learn to speak Tarahumara so that he could deal directly with the people. “There are no language police,” Copeland says. “Children are seldom corrected by their parents. They learn by observation
28、 of speech in conversations and by imitation.”Copeland learned the language through his frequent exposure to it and by analyzing the grammar. His linguistic skills and mastery of German, Spanish, French, and Russian, plus a partial knowledge of some twenty other languages, also helped. Drawing on hi
29、s research, Copeland plans to produce a Tarahumara grammar book in English and perhaps one in Spanish.The idea to study the Tarahumaras came to Copeland in 1984 when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language. He got in touch with a Tarahumara Indian called Lornezo Gonza
30、lez through a social worker who worked with the Tarahumaras in the border town of Juarez, Mexico. At first, Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how
31、it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help and took Copeland to his village. “Over a period of a year our relationship became closer and warmer,” says Copeland. “Thanks to him, the Tarahumaras started trusting us and understood what we were doing.”29. What can we learn about the Tarahumaras?
