These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but it has since been knocked down.
The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At the end of the days, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.
Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.
More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history, and the traditions.
If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treats at Wimbledon, it’s time to email your editor using capital letters.
The new retractable (可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.
1．What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past
A．He made friends with reporters.
B．He reported on tennis matches.
C．He appreciated the beautiful scenery.
D．He exchanged experiences with tennis players.
2．What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon
A．It lacks fun.
B．It is expensive.
C．It is not convenient.
D．It is not quick enough.
3．Why does the author mention strawberries and cream
A．To compare popular foods.
B．To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.
C．To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.
D．To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.
4．What difference does the new roof make
A．Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.
B．There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.
C．Reporters are struggling to find original material.
D．Rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.
B
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.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
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

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。在温布尔登的网球俱乐部，“我”曾经爬过的赛场楼梯被拆毁了；现在的记者室拥有触摸屏，可以让我们观看任何球场的直播视频。虽然发生了很多变化，但中心球场仍保持着初衷。捕捉这种感觉也是报道温布尔登网球锦标赛的一部分。
1．B 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可推知，作者应是一名网球赛报道记者。根据第二段可知，过去Crow’s Nest是记者们观察、记录赛况的地方，每天结束时，来自不同国家的记者们会分享他们在现场观察到的情况；结合第一段可以判断，作者曾经登上Crow’s Nest，报道网球赛的情况，故B项正确。
2．A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知，你可以不用离开座位就能报道温网，但这有点像把你所有的时间花在客房服务和在维基百科查找事实真相上；据此可以判断，作者认为如今的报道温网的方式缺乏趣味，故A项正确。
3．D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段可知，与任何其他网球锦标赛相比，人们也关注讲述有关温网背景、历史和传统的故事，接着第五段提到美网上的鱼肉卷饼价格改变不会成为新闻而温网的特色食物草莓和奶油价格改变则需要重点向主编报告；据此可推知，提及温网的草莓和奶油旨在展示温网的传统是一个吸引点。故D项正确。
4．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段第一、二句可知，2009年装上了新型的可缩进屋顶，在那之前，因为不能确保所有的温网比赛都能举行，记者们得准备好一个应急报道；据此可知，新屋顶让温网的“应急报道”成为历史，故D项正确。

7．The underlined word “notion” in Paragraph 7 has the closest meaning to “________”．
A．effect B．goal

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
【解题导语】本文主要探究了影响运动者情绪高涨的因素。
5．B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“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.”可知，德国一些大学的科学家们最近发现了跑步者情绪高涨是由内源性大麻素引起的，故选B。
6．C 解析：推理判断题。根据对第二段和第三段的整体理解，并结合第四段“To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.”可推知，科学家们在实验中给老鼠药物是为了确定究竟是哪种物质会引起跑步者的情绪高涨，故选C。
7．D 解析：词义猜测题。根据对全文内容的理解可知，该词所在句子与第二段“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.”呼应，并结合本句结构可推知，此处notion与believed相呼应，故选D。
8．B 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三、四段和倒数第二段第二句“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.”可知，常规锻炼有利于情绪好转及缓解抑郁症状，故选B。

These days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but it has since been knocked down.
The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At the end of the days, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.
Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.
More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history, and the traditions.
If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treats at Wimbledon, it’s time to email your editor using capital letters.
The new retractable (可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.
1．What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past

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.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don’t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.
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

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。在温布尔登的网球俱乐部，“我”曾经爬过的赛场楼梯被拆毁了；现在的记者室拥有触摸屏，可以让我们观看任何球场的直播视频。虽然发生了很多变化，但中心球场仍保持着初衷。捕捉这种感觉也是报道温布尔登网球锦标赛的一部分。
1．B 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可推知，作者应是一名网球赛报道记者。根据第二段可知，过去Crow’s Nest是记者们观察、记录赛况的地方，每天结束时，来自不同国家的记者们会分享他们在现场观察到的情况；结合第一段可以判断，作者曾经登上Crow’s Nest，报道网球赛的情况，故B项正确。
2．A 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知，你可以不用离开座位就能报道温网，但这有点像把你所有的时间花在客房服务和在维基百科查找事实真相上；据此可以判断，作者认为如今的报道温网的方式缺乏趣味，故A项正确。
3．D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段可知，与任何其他网球锦标赛相比，人们也关注讲述有关温网背景、历史和传统的故事，接着第五段提到美网上的鱼肉卷饼价格改变不会成为新闻而温网的特色食物草莓和奶油价格改变则需要重点向主编报告；据此可推知，提及温网的草莓和奶油旨在展示温网的传统是一个吸引点。故D项正确。
4．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第六段第一、二句可知，2009年装上了新型的可缩进屋顶，在那之前，因为不能确保所有的温网比赛都能举行，记者们得准备好一个应急报道；据此可知，新屋顶让温网的“应急报道”成为历史，故D项正确。

【解题导语】本文主要探究了影响运动者情绪高涨的因素。
5．B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“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.”可知，德国一些大学的科学家们最近发现了跑步者情绪高涨是由内源性大麻素引起的，故选B。
