Over the last five months, local and regional competitions have been held across Kenya for Maasai men of “warrior(勇士)” age. They are part of the Maasai Olympics, which have been held every two years since 2012. These men compete in six events: 5，000m, 800m, 200m, high jump, javelin and the rungu(a wooden throwing club) throw. There are also two events for women: 1，500m and 100m. December 15, 2018 marked the final round with crowds gathering in Kimana, near the Amboseli National Park, about 200km south of Nairobi(the capital of Kenya). Different kinds of medals are among the prizes for the winning individuals and communities. International charity Born Free, a main sponsor of the events, helps to offer Maasai warriors an alternative to killing lions as part of their traditional ceremony. It was the brainchild of the wildlife charity Big Life Foundation and eight Maasai elders who wanted to “stop lion hunting by our warriors once and for all, making it a cultural taboo(禁忌)”． “As human populations grow, and our wants seem to increase—with little sympathy for those other species with whom we share the planet—the pressing need for coexistence, and examples of how this may be achieved are few and far between，” said Born Free’s CEO Howard Jones. “The Maasai have a 500－year－old tradition of hunting lions to prove the courage of young men. As a result, an estimated 2，000 lions now remain in Kenya. The Maasai live and work alongside these creatures, so they are expected to play a key role in their protection and conservation，” added Jones. The Maasai Olympics were developed to encourage young men to compete in an organised sports competition based on their traditional warrior skills. As well as the competitive element, the events also aim to educate local people about conserving lions and wildlife, and the importance of human－wildlife coexistence and tolerance. 1.

Hunt Medals not Lions in the Maasai Olympics 答案与解析 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在两年一度的马赛奥运会上，马赛人放弃猎杀狮子的这一传统，改为通过体育竞技赢得奖牌的方式来证明自己是勇士。 1. 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。由第一段中的“the Maasai Olympics ... have been held every two years since 2012”可知，迄今为止马赛奥运会已经举办了四届，故选B项。 2. 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。由第三段中的“eight Maasai elders who wanted to ‘stop lion hunting by our warriors once and for all’”和倒数第二段中的“The Maasai have a 500－year－old tradition of hunting lions to prove the courage of young men.”可知，猎杀狮子这一原始的传统已经不再被人们所接受，故选A项。 3. 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“they are expected to play a key role in their protection and conservation”可知，Howard Jones认为人与动物应该和谐相处，故选D项。 4. 答案 D 解析 标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了在马赛奥运会上，马赛人放弃猎杀狮子的这一传统，改为通过体育竞技赢得奖牌的方式来证明自己是勇士，故用D项作为标题最恰当。
