Every racehorse has d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ifferent abilities. Like humans, some are short-distance runners, while others are marathoners. Figuring out which is which and how to pace them can be the difference between failure in the finish and taking the award home.Jockeys(赛马骑师) and trainer shave traditionally relied on centuries of experience and data from previous races to plan their races.
Amandine Afta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lion, a mathematician in Paris, thought she could add to that. Since 2013, she has been analyzing the performances of world champion runners like Usain Bolt.She has found that short-distance runners tend to win when they start strong and gradually slow down toward the finish line. But in medium-distance races,runners perform better when they start strong, settle down, and finish with a burst of speed.21教育网
Her model sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w show those winning strategies maximize the energy output of muscles reliant on two different pathways: powerful aerobic(有氧的) ones that require oxygen, which can be in limited supply during a race, and anaerobic ones, which don’t need oxygen but build up waste products that lead to tiredness.2-1-c-n-j-y
Aftalion wondere ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d which strategy would be best for horses. So she and Quentin Mercier, another mathematician, took advantage of a new GPS tracking tool inserted in French racing saddles(马鞍).【出处：21教育名师】
The two studied p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atterns in many races at the Chantilly racetracks north of Paris and developed a model that accounted for winning strategies for three different races: a short one (1, 300 meters), a medium one (1,900 meters), and a slightly longer one (2,100 meters), all with different starting points on the same track. The model takes into account not just different race distances, but also the size or friction from the track surface.
The results mig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ht surprise jockeys who hold horses back early for bursts of energy in the last finish. Instead, a strong start leads to a better finish, the team found. “That doesn’t mean those jockeys are wrong, though. If the start is too strong, it can be devastating as well, leaving the horse tired by the end,”Aftalion says.
1. What should a runner do to get an award according to the text
A. Make a good start. B. Plan for the race early.
C. Run slowly on the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tarting line. D. Try running quickly all the time.
2.What formed the basis for Aftalion’s studying horse race 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
A. The experience and data from previous horse races.
B. The benefit of knowing horses’ different abilities.
C. The success in studying runners’ winning strategies.
D. The performance of horses on different race distances.
3.What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) underlined word “devastating” in the last paragraph mean
A. Boring. B. Damaging. C. Astonishing. D. Puzzling.
4.What can we infer from the text
A. Runners have the same energy output of muscles.
B. Aftalion's findings may help horses to win the race.
C. What Jockeys and trainers do makes no sense to horses.
D. World champion runners made a contribution to the study.
参考答案：
1. A。间接信息题。由第二段sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ort- distance runners tend to win when they start strong (强劲起跑的短跑者往往会赢)”和in medium-distance races, runners perform better when they start strong（在正等长度的跑步比赛中，强劲起跑者表现得更好）可知，一个跑步运动会员想要得奖必须开个好头。故选A项。
2. C。间接信息题。由 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第四段Aftalion wondered which strategy would be best for horses. （我想哪个策略最适合于赛马）以及前面第二、三两段的内容（都是对跑步者的研究）可知，Aftalion对马赛的研究是以成功地研究跑步者成功策略为基础的。故选C项。
3. B。猜测词义题。结合 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最后一段a strong startleads to a better finish, the team found.（这个团队发现，一个好的开始会带来一个好的结果。）和If the start is too strong, it can be devastating as well, leaving the horse tired by the end（如果开始太强劲的话，可能会是_____的，这会让马在最后感到疲惫。）可知， “devastating”是“对……不好/有害”的意思。故选B项。
4. B。信息推测题。从 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文中我们可知，Aftalion以跑步者的比赛策略为基础来研究不同马赛中赢得比赛的策略，其研究结果令赛马骑师很吃惊可知，Aftalion的研究对赛马骑师有一定的借鉴意义。故选B项。

参考答案：
1. F。考查过渡句。根据空前It ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can be tough in today’s fast-paced world to be mindful（在当今的快节奏世界中很难做到正念）及空后However,if you’re intentional about being more mindful during your everyday life, you can live with greater purpose and more happiness（但是，如果你在日常生活照特意关注正念，你可以生活的更有目标，也更快乐），即通过转折引出本文的主题句，可知答案选F项（毕竟，生活中有很多事情都在争夺你的注意力）。
2. A 。考查细节句。段落主题句“交谈 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )正念很重要”以及空格前一句In other words, don’t cut in while others are sharing their opinions（换句话说，当别人在分享他们的观点时不要打断）可知，答案选A项（寻求真正的倾听对方）。
3. D 。考查细节句。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据本段话题eating以及空后Chew your food slowly and enjoy the taste fully（慢慢咀嚼，充分品尝食物的味道）可知，选择Pay attention to each bite that you’re taking（注意你吃的每一口食物）更合适，故选D项。www.21-cn-jy.com
4. G 。考查主题句。根据说明文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )总—分—总结构，可知本空是分述另外一点，再根据后文有关音乐的话题语境词汇（sound,note, emotion等）可知，选择G项（另一个练习的机会是在你何时听音乐）更合适。选项Another也是依据。
5. B。考查细节句。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据空前Look for more opportunities around you（寻找身边更多的机会）以及空格后面的Your mind is likely to wander repeatedly（你的大脑很可能不断的走神儿）可知关于正念的练习并不容易，故选B项（可能一开始你做不到）。
Psychologists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have long believed that human beings have a fairly consistent “negativity bias（消极偏见）” that leads us to pay more attention to negative thoughts,feelings and events than to positive ones. ____1____There is a positive explanation for the question. After all, we are motivated to grow after a misstep. However, we can’t abandon ourselves to the negativity bias forever.How ____2____
Practice positivi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ty. Like your muscles, your thought patterns respond to how they are used and exercised. You don’t have to erase the negativity bias from your mind.____3____For example, set calendar reminders throughout your day to convey an expression of gratitude or simply adjust your body language so you’re holding yourself with strength and confidence.
____4____We’re living ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in a time of pandemic or financial stress and deep division. Our negativity biases call our attention toward those realities. But we are well served to also see the opportunities in this moment：Maybe there’s a home project we otherwise wouldn’t have found time to tackle.21*cnjy*com
Ask for Positiv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Reminders. Get in the habit of checking in with people who are with you when goodness finds you today.

G. Asking others to co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nfirm your positive insights can facilitate your positivity.
参考答案：
1. E。考查细节句。由上一句Psy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chologists have long believed that human beings have a fairly consistent “negativity bias（消极偏见）” that leads us to pay more attention to negative thoughts, feelings and events than to positive ones（心理学家长期以来一直认为，人类有一种相当一致的“消极偏见”，这导致我们更多地关注消极的思想、情感和事件，而不是积极的思想、情感和事件）和下一句There is a positive explanation for the question（对这个问题有一个肯定的解释）可知，上句提到了“消极偏见”这种心理问题现象，下句又说这个问题有一个肯定的解释，可得出该空填写疑问句承接下文explanation for the question，故选E项（这种现象为什么会发生，又是如何发生的？）。
2. A。考查过渡句。由上两句Howeve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, we can’t abandon ourselves to the negativity bias forever.How （然而，我们不能永远沉浸在消极偏见中。怎样做呢？），结合各段首句及各段内容可知，该空填写的内容与提供建议有关，承接上下文，故选A项（尝试以下建议）。
3. C。考查细节句。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据本段小标题Practice Positivity（实践积极性）和空前You don’t have to erase the negativity bias from your mind（你不必消除你心中的消极偏见）可知，作者建议读者在生活中去实践积极性，即以积极的态度去生活，所以无需消除你心中的消极偏见，只需在生活中不断实践你积极的生活方式，故选C项。
4. B。考查主题句。根据空后内容： ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )我们生活在一个大流行病、经济压力和严重分裂的时代。我们的消极偏见要求我们关注这些现实。但我们也很乐意看到这一刻的机遇：也许有一个家庭项目，否则我们就没有时间去解决。可知，即使我们的消极偏见要求我们关注那些消极的现实，但我们也要在消极中看到机遇，故选B项（将消极性重新定义为机遇）。
5. G。考查细节句。本 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段小标题Ask for Positive Reminders（索要积极的提醒）可知，在本段中作者建议读者要去向别人索要积极的提醒来摆脱消极偏见，理解空前句Mention to them, “That is an unexpected bit of praise from the boss,isn’t it ”可知，用了反义疑问句“这是老板出乎意料的表扬，不是吗？”来肯定自己的积极性，为了承接上文，选G项（让别人确认你的积极见解可以促进你的积极性）。
Last year, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) spent my holiday in an unfamiliar neighborhood in Lakewood, New Jersey. We rented a house so that some of our children and grandchildren could join us. Everyone in the area was super friendly, offering to come to introduce themselves to us and to ensure that we would make full use of their hospitality, whether to borrow something or to send the kids to play in their yards. We were excited and impressed and immediately began to see if there were any houses for sale in the neighborhood!21*cnjy*com
The next door to us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was particularly fascinating (to visit not to buy). In the yard, there was a tennis court, a swing set and various toys and games that were particularly popular with young children. The owner was also very friendly and invited the kids to come over and play. They didn’t have to be asked twice. They played for hour son end. While we relaxed in our yard, perhaps a little too comfortable, perhaps enjoying each other’s company a little too much, perhaps forgetting that young children can’t be left too long without adults looking after them.
Apparently a small f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight broke out between the boy of the next door and one of my five-year-old grandsons. My 10-year-old grandson immediately jumped to his cousin’s defense and pushed the other boy. At this point, the mother next door was forced to intervene （调停）.
And the neighbo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r came over to speak to us. Now when I try to imagine myself: in that position, I imagine all sorts of negative and aggressive ways to deal with it—I would have been very angry and complained about the bad behavior of these visiting children, and definitely sent them home.【版权所有：21教育】
Paragraph 1: What she did was quite opposite.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Honestly, I owed my thanks to the neighbor.
___________________________________________________________________________
参考答案：
Paragraph 1:
What she did w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as quite opposite. She was so kind, friendly and calm. She spoke of their great pleasure in sharing their backyard, and of the necessity of monitoring our children's behavior. She told her children we were all their guests and that we should be respected and given special treatment; otherwise, as hosts, they were to blame. After that, these children got along well as before. The kids were immediately brought home but the next day they were welcomed to play.2·1·c·n·j·y
Paragraph 2:
Honestly, I ow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed my thanks to the neighbor. Though her actions may seem small, they were big in our eyes. The neighbor not only let all the children keep happy but also taught me an unforgettable lesson in dealing with relationships. From her, I learned some good skills in getting along with others. Small and kind actions can bring warmth to people. We should pass the moon to our children and grandchildren.

Last year, I spent my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) holiday in an unfamiliar neighborhood in Lakewood, New Jersey. We rented a house so that some of our children and grandchildren could join us. Everyone in the area was super friendly, offering to come to introduce themselves to us and to ensure that we would make full use of their hospitality, whether to borrow something or to send the kids to play in their yards.

Now when I try to imagine myself: in that position, I imagine all sorts of negative and aggressive ways to deal with it—I would have been very angry and complained about the bad behavior of these visiting children, and definitely sent them home.
