Question 14
A、To meet cyclists from other countries.
B、To race with professional athletes.
C、To compete for a valuable first prize.
D、To exercise and enjoy themselves.
Q: Why do cyclists participate in the mountain-lake cycle tour?
听前预测:
① 四项均为以 to 开头的不定式短语，表目的。
② 两项的目的与竞争有关（race, prize），另两项则相对温和（meet, exercise and enjoy）。
结论: 本题很可能考查此次骑行的目的。
详解: 玛丽莲介绍道:“这并不是一场比赛，更像是一次对于业余骑车手的耐力测试。人们参加这次活动是为了锻炼身体、获得乐趣。”D项 to exercise and enjoy themselves符合玛丽莲所介绍的意义，故为正确答案。
