separateparts.（這場(chǎng)161公里的接力賽分為16個(gè)部分，所以你們每個(gè)人都要跑4個(gè)獨(dú)立的部分）”可知，這

是一項(xiàng)由16個(gè)部分組成的接力賽。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)ScafellSkyRace中“Goodthingisthattheviewsarebeautiful,andthatthere9shotfoodanda

bottleofapplejuicewaitingforyouintheend.（好在風(fēng)景很美，最后還有熱騰騰的食物和一瓶蘋果汁等著你。）”

可知，這項(xiàng)比賽在最后會(huì)提供食物和飲料，因此最適合那些想在比賽結(jié)束后享用美食的選手。故選C項(xiàng)。

【3題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題o根據(jù)第——段“Thefamousmagazine,RunnersWorld,haschosensomeofthebest,mostdifficultand
