[国际视野][2025河南部分名校期中]There are competitions held all over the world that attract millions of viewers every year. Here are four of the craziest competitions in the world.
Worm(幼虫) Charming Championship
This competition involves contestants using a small area of grass and a number of different methods to try and attract as many worms as possible from the ground in a set amount of time. Participants use everything to make noise in the ground to try and drive the worms out. The current world record is held by 10 - year - old Sophie Smith from England, who in 2009 collected 567 worms in 30 minutes.
Toe(脚趾头) Wrestling Competition
The wonderful sport of toe wrestling was first thought up in a pub in Wetton, England, in 1974. Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and created a sport that they could succeed in. It's very similar to arm wrestling and sees competitors lock toes and wrestle until one of them “pins” the other's foot for 3 seconds.
World Beard and Moustache Championship
The competition has been running since 1990. Competitors come from all over the world to see who can grow and style the best beard and moustache. The competition actually has 17 different categories, including Best Freestyle Moustache and Best Natural Goatee.
Sauna(桑拿浴) Championship
The World Sauna Championships were held in Heinola, Finland and ran from 1999 to 2010. The crazy competition saw contestants sit in a sauna for as long as possible. The competition came to an end in 2010, though, when tragedy struck and one of the contestants died during the event and another was severely injured.

答案： 21.C　细节理解题。根据Worm(幼虫)Charming Championship部分中“This competition involves contestants using...different methods to try and attract as many worms...Participants use everything to make noise in the ground to try and drive the worms out”可知，这项比赛允许参赛者使用许多不同的方法在规定的时间内从地面吸引尽可能多的幼虫。参赛者可以用任何东西来制造噪声。由此可知，这项比赛对使用的工具没有要求。
22.D　细节理解题。根据Toe(脚趾头)Wrestling Competition部分中“The wonderful sport...Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and created a sport that they could succeed in”可知,1974年,在英国威顿的一家酒吧里，四个朋友对英国从未产生过世界冠军感到愤怒，因此创造了一项他们可以成功的运动。创建脚趾摔跤比赛的初衷是给英国人一个成为世界冠军的机会。
23.A　细节理解题。根据Sauna(桑拿浴)Championship部分中“The competition came to an end in 2010...during the event and another was severely injured"可知,该比赛在2010年结束，当时一名选手在比赛中死亡，另一名选手严重受伤。
