Have you ever watched horse racing? Do you know about horse racing? The UK is the birthplace of modern horse racing. In Britain, the centre of life in the Middle Ages was horse racing, which was the symbol of power and wealth, and was necessary for travelling, hunting and war.
Horse racing is an ancient sport dating back to about 4,500 BC. Horse racing is a sport which is especially popular in the UK, the US, the UAE and Australia.

The owner of a horse usually hires a trainer to train the horse for the race. ▲ They must be kept in order, or they will be kicked off by the race. The horse which attends the competition must be at least four years old.
For the British, horse racing is not only a sport, but also a holiday and a social activity. Or to be honest, it is a chance for friends to get together, just like visiting parks and listening to concerts.

解析
【分析】
1. 第1题：观察文章开头，作者通过两个问句引出赛马话题，属于提问式开头，据此判断选项。
2. 第2题：需定位原文细节，逐一核对选项与原文表述是否一致，重点关注参赛马的年龄要求、比赛目标等信息。
3. 第3题：空格后内容围绕参赛马需遵守秩序展开，需结合主语指代（参赛马），选择符合逻辑的句子衔接。
4. 第4题：分析第三段核心内容，提炼段落主旨，排除与段落无关的选项。
5. 第5题：梳理文章各段落的核心内容，划分文章结构，匹配对应选项。
【解析】
1. 文章开头以“Have you ever watched horse racing? Do you know about horse racing?”两个问句引出赛马话题，属于提问式开头，对应选项B，故答案为B。
2. 原文第二段明确“参赛马必须至少4岁”：A项“任何马都可参赛”与原文矛盾；B项“参赛马可自由奔跑”与“必须保持秩序”不符；C项“5岁马可参赛”符合“至少4岁”的要求；D项“比赛目标是选最优秀选手”错误（目标是先到达终点），故答案为C。
3. 空格后主语“they”指代参赛马，内容为“必须保持秩序，否则会被取消资格”，说明空格处需涉及对参赛马的要求，A项“所有马都应被好好训练”符合逻辑（训练后才能遵守秩序），故答案为A。
4. 第三段核心是赛马对英国人而言是朋友聚会的社交活动：A项是中世纪的情况，B项是第四段内容，D项与原文不符，对应选项C，故答案为C。
5. 文章结构：①段引入现代赛马的起源（英国）；②段介绍赛马的历史、规则、参赛马要求；③段讲赛马对英国人的意义；④段讲赛马的文化象征，结构为①/②③④，对应选项B，故答案为B。
