参考答案【正确答案:B】
可以发现原文中第二段第一句话Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing与题干中的关键词 London’s Olympic “legacy” has failed to...对应,所以可以锁定文章的第二段,从而找出解题的关键。第二段前半部分讲了在最初的时候Olympic的目标,然而,事实却事与愿违,... but the general population was growing faster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 由这句话可以看出,Olympic并没有推动大众的参与性,与预期的目标不符,所以选择B。
