Points are awarded for an original location and for the number of onlookers and participants involved. 36 Without a photo, you’re just a person lying down. This is planking, described variously as a global participatory art project, a ―meaningless inter craze‖. It began 14 years ago with a pair of bored kids. Gary Clarkson, then 15, and his friend Christian Langdon, 12, would perform the plank in public places, amusing one another and puzzling onlookers. 37 The game was a pointless way for the boys to pass the time. As Clarkson puts it: ―It was just a really stupid, random thing to do.‖ For its first 10 years planking spread very slowly, from Clarkson and Langdon to their friends at school and, after a while, on to other kids from the neighborhood. 38 Soon, they had a few thousand followers. Photographs of plankers came in from all over the world: American plankers on top of their televisions, British plankers in trees, and Europeans on country roads and steep riverbanks. Then things got really interesting. A few days later, a mass gathering of plankers attracted more than 100 people. The planking in the photos posted to Facebook became riskier and stranger. One brave airport worker performed the plank in the engine fan of a jet plane. 39 Some people have linked the practice to the 1995 video for the Radiohead song, ―Just‖. In the video, a man lies down on a busy London road and a crowd of strangers gather to try to understand and help him. He refuses to move, or to tell them why he39。 s lying there. He tells them – but not us, the viewers – and all we see is that now the entire crowd is lying down on the pavement as well. 40 ―People generally think you’re mad,‖ as creator Gary Clarkson puts it. ―That’s sort of the point.‖ A. You must, of course, have somebody take a photo. B. Many people believe planking is a good way to pass the time. C. At that time, it was known simply as the Lying Down Game. D. We can read about planking all of the time on inter websites. E. Whether the video is the inspiration or not, it helps us understand the spirit of planking. F. Then, in 2020, when the pair created a Facebook group for their game, the pace accelerated. G. It’s not clear – and Clarkson and Langdon don’t remember – where exactly the idea for planking came from. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20小题；每小题 ，满分 30分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 This morning after I got the news that my best friend, Sean Misner, who was one of the firefighters, died in an Arizona wildfire in June, I created a Facebook page in his 41 .
