[2025广东广州调研]For many, the term “orienteering” (定向越野) might bring back images of school trips. The reality of it can be very different, though, and it's a sport with strong links to athletics. Kris Jones, a British international on the track, was also a silver medalist at the 2022 World Orienteering Championships.
This July, I decided to explore the sport by joining in the Edinburgh “sprint orienteering” running through the famous city streets. The aim of the sport is to navigate (导航) between checkpoints marked on a special orienteering map. There is no set route so the skill and fun come from trying to find the best way to go, with the ultimate goal being to complete the course in the quickest time.
As someone who is used to the convenience of using my phone for navigation, the idea of relying on a traditional map - and - compass approach felt formidable. However, once I got into the swing of things and learned to hold a map in the correct way, the excitement of navigating from one checkpoint to the next quickly got me moving.
The unpredictable nature of the race and not knowing the whereabouts of other competitors do keep the rush of excitement flowing. You have no idea where you are going or what you are going to see until you pick up the map.
I think the sport taking place in an open field off play is really exciting for people to watch. People can stand and watch athletes running past their doorstep. Different athletes will be following different routes. It's never like a marathon where you might see one athlete a minute ahead in front and you know they are going to win.
For orienteering to grow as a sport, it needs greater visibility in top - class events. A distant past argument is that it is not an audience - friendly sport, but modern technology now shakes that belief. With the use of mobile phones, drones and body cameras, orienteering can be enjoyed by a much wider audience.

答案： 1.B 推理判断题。由文章第一段的“For many, the term ‘orienteering’ (定向越野) . . . and it’s a sport with strong links to athletics”可知,对于许多人来说,“定向越野”这个词可能会让他们回想起学校郊游的场景。然而,它的实际情况可能大不相同,这是一项与田径运动紧密相关的运动。由此可知,定向越野运动并不轻松。接下来Kris Jones的例子证明了这一表述。因此作者提到Kris Jones是为了说明这项运动对体力的要求。
2.D 词义猜测题。由文章第三段内容可知,作者习惯用手机进行导航,但在熟悉情况后可以学着正确地使用传统地图了,由此可推知,他一开始认为依靠地图和指南针进行导航非常困难。故D项符合题意。
3.A 细节理解题。由文章第五段的“Different athletes will be following different routes. . . they are going to win”可知,在定向越野运动中,不同的运动员将遵循不同的路线。这和马拉松不一样,在看马拉松比赛时,你可能会看到一个运动员领先一分钟,你就知道他会赢。由此可知,定向越野与马拉松不同之处在于,观众无法预测比赛的结果。
4.D 推理判断题。由文章最后一段的“With the use of mobile phones, drones and body cameras, orienteering can be enjoyed by a much wider audience”可知,随着手机、无人机和随身相机的使用,定向越野可以被更多的观众喜爱,即可以采用技术来推广这项运动。
