A
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running,research shows,while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does,however,have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk,which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground at all times.It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however,says Jaclyn Norberg,an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem,Mass.
Like running,race walking is physically demanding,she says.According to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour,which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,although fewer than running,which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However,race walking does not pound the body as much as running does,Dr.Norberg says.According to her research,runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step,while race walkers,who do not leave the ground,create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result,she says,some of the injuries associated with running,such as runner’s knee,are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips,so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact,anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique,she says.It takes some practice.

Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work,but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.
But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (内啡肽) — chemicals in the body that cause happiness—are behind the so-called “runner’s high”,a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities,a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory,the scientists turned to mice.
Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise,along with many other chemicals.After exercising on running wheels,the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
But after being given a drug to block their endorphins they changed.However,when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug,the runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.
“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner’s high is false.Endorphins are effective pain relievers,but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on a science blog.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans,but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
The UK’s National Health Service even prescribes (开药方) exercise for patients who are suffering from depression.
“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy,which might put you off being more active.Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression,and it’s especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的) depression,” it wrote on its website.
5.What did scientists from German universities recently discover
A.Working out is a highly effective way to treat depression.
B.The “runner’s high” could be caused by endocannabinoids.
C.Endorphins may contribute to one’s high spirits after running.
D.The level of endorphins and endocannabinoids could affect one’s mood.
6.The scientists gave mice drugs in their experiment to .
A.find what reduces the runner’s high symptoms
B.see the specific symptoms of the runner’s high
C.identify what is responsible for the runner’s high
D.test what influences the level of endocannabinoids released
7.The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to “ ”.
A.effect B.goal
C.question D.belief
8.According to the UK’s National Health Service,regular workouts .
A.are the best way to treat depression
B.can help ease depression symptoms
C.only work for those with serious depression
D.can help people completely recover from depression
C
A balanced diet comprising of diverse and healthy foods is the key to promoting good health.After all,we are what we eat—research continues to prove that eating healthy food promotes good health and unhealthy food habits lead to a diseased body.Foods contain vital nutrients that aid our body’s metabolic function.However,a lack of consumption of these nutrients or feeding upon the wrong kinds of food leads to an accumulation of toxins within the body,resulting in chronic (慢性的)diseases in the long run.
A nutritious diet while ensuring overall well being,helps to maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI),reduces the risk of several debilitating diseases like cancer,cardiovascular ailments,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.Thus a nutritious and healthy diet is important in the prevention and cure of various diseases.
There are several health conditions that can be caused or aggravated (加重)by the food we eat.However,there are also several foods that you can include in your diet to help prevent or treat diseases.It is simplest to draw up a balanced diet chart as this will ensure that you get all the nutrients you require on a regular basis.A nutrition diet chart is a diet chart that helps you to keep a track of your nutritional diet requirements and is a very useful tool when drawing up a personalized diet plan.
However,it must be noted that allopathic medicine treats the symptoms rather than the root cause of the disease,which is usually caused by wrong eating habits leading to an accumulation of toxins within the system.Whereas a nutritious healthy diet can rectify underlying causes of diseases and restore one to wholeness of mind and body.Once we realize the connection between a wholesome balanced diet and good health,our food will be our medicine and maintaining good health will be a matter of making the right food choices and leading a healthy lifestyle.
9.According to the passage,what can we do to make sure we have the nutrients we need
A.Curing diseases promptly.
B.Eating more nutritious food.
C.Drawing a nutrition diet chart.
D.Drawing a personalized diet plan.
10.What can we learn from the passage
A.A constant lack of consumption of nutrients may lead to chronic diseases in the long run.
B.A balanced diet chart can help you carry out a personalized diet plan to mainly lose weight.
C.A nutritious diet can cure cancer,diabetes,osteoporosis and stroke.
D.A nutritious and healthy diet is the only key to preventing and curing diseases.
11.What’s the passage mainly about
A.A nutritious diet.
B.A healthy lifestyle.
C.A nutritious diet chart.
D.A personalized diet plan.

Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists,runners and walkers,but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.It is a challenge many disabled athletes face,unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.
Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs visually and audibly impaired (视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.
Jane Britt,president of Achilles Brisbane,who is—vision and hearing—impaired,said,“When we go out,it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”
Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the five-kilometer park run.Their partnership is built on trust,but Ms.Britt said that it took time to develop.
Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms.Cullen completely.“There was violent rain,my glasses were broken and we were walking together.I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything,and I was going to have to completely trust her.From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in,” she said.
Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane.Ms.Allen kept active by rowing,running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse.After nearly giving up completely,she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.
Ms.Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane.“But,they found people and matched me to them,” she said.“It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
12.How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone
A.Relaxed. B.Excited.
C.Worried. D.Bored.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is the connection between violence and sports Psychologists(心理学家) say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events.One is alcohol(酒精). 1 When people drink,they are more likely to do abnormal things.Psychologist Dennis Brock says,“Quiet people become loud.Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”
David Sampson,a sports sociologist,agrees.“These are often celebratory riots(暴乱)— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol.They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning,but things get violent quickly.”
2 When individuals are in a large group of people,they can lose their sense of personal responsibility.Edward Hirt,a social psychologist,says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone.People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are.Crowds also make people feel powerful.They stop making personal decisions. 3 Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality”.
Dave Zarifis,head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says,“Some people don’t even come to celebrate. 4 Someone does something stupid,and it grows from there.You get a mob mentality.People think it’s OK to do almost anything.They think,‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’”
Social psychologist Dr Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. 5 Officials should also think of games as “big parties”. Then they will prepare differently.Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums.“When you know someone is watching,you are much less likely to behave badly.”
A.They just follow the crowd.
B.Many fans drink a lot at games.
C.They want to drink hard and make trouble.
D.Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself.
E.Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important.
F.Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.
G.Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing the same thing.

Once there was a little girl named Emily.Although her singing was very pleasant to hear,lacking of courage,she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer,the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition.Her best friend,Lucy,came to invite her to participate in the competition,but Emily said,“I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said,“It’s okay;just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try.The day came.Emily and Lucy went to the competition site.But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage.She had been waiting until others finished singing.She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage.She started to sing,but her voice was so low.What’s worse,she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words.Being laughed at by others,embarrassed and shy,she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said,“Emily,coward (胆小鬼)!Emily,coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them.What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could.Finally,she rushed into the house,hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well,my poor girl,don’t cry.Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom.Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her,her mom cupped her face and said,“It doesn’t matter,girl.As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers,you will become braver little by little.So,my girl,don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day.No matter who is listening to you,go on singing and never stop.I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

What is the connection between violence and sports Psychologists(心理学家) say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events.One is alcohol(酒精). 1 When people drink,they are more likely to do abnormal things.Psychologist Dennis Brock says,“Quiet people become loud.Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”
David Sampson,a sports sociologist,agrees.“These are often celebratory riots(暴乱)— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol.They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning,but things get violent quickly.”
2 When individuals are in a large group of people,they can lose their sense of personal responsibility.Edward Hirt,a social psychologist,says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone.People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are.Crowds also make people feel powerful.They stop making personal decisions. 3 Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality”.
Dave Zarifis,head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says,“Some people don’t even come to celebrate. 4 Someone does something stupid,and it grows from there.You get a mob mentality.People think it’s OK to do almost anything.They think,‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’”
Social psychologist Dr Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. 5 Officials should also think of games as “big parties”. Then they will prepare differently.Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums.“When you know someone is watching,you are much less likely to behave badly.”
A.They just follow the crowd.
B.Many fans drink a lot at games.
C.They want to drink hard and make trouble.
D.Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself.
E.Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important.
F.Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.
G.Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing the same thing.

One summer,the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition.Her best friend,Lucy,came to invite her to participate in the competition,but Emily said,“I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said,“It’s okay;just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try.The day came.Emily and Lucy went to the competition site.But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage.She had been waiting until others finished singing.She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage.She started to sing,but her voice was so low.What’s worse,she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words.Being laughed at by others,embarrassed and shy,she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said,“Emily,coward (胆小鬼)!Emily,coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them.What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could.Finally,she rushed into the house,hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well,my poor girl,don’t cry.Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom.Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her,her mom cupped her face and said,“It doesn’t matter,girl.As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers,you will become braver little by little.So,my girl,don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day.No matter who is listening to you,go on singing and never stop.I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
