二、阅读理解（20分）
A
Most people suffer （受折磨） from it from time to time - the room starts to spin or one feels strangely light-headed. These feelings are known as dizziness（眩晕）.
Feeling dizzy is not an illness. ________ Not getting enough sleep, suffering from heart problems or spinning forna long time can all lead to dizziness.
However, the figure skaters seem different. When the music is on, they glide （滑行）, jump and spin. One turn, two turns, three turns… - it seems that they never get dizzy no matter how many times they spin. Why
We often feel dizzy and lose balance after spinning around. This is because when we move our heads during a spin, our eyes start to move in the opposite direction. They reach their limit before our head finishes a full turn, so they turn back to a new starting point. When our eyes repeat this, we get dizzy.
Figure skaters don't have any super power. They get dizzy too. Their secret is lots of practice.
As they train more, their brains（大脑） get used to the feeling.
Skaters also have methods to help them feel less dizzy. One method is called "opposing eye movement". It's like the eye movement when we watch a moving train pass in front of us while our heads stay still（静止的）. Skaters can train themselves to have this eye movement when they spin. This can offset （抵消） the dizziness.
There are also other methods. The first one is keeping a uniform speed （匀速）. We feel
dizzier when our brains feel changes in speed. Skaters can also pick one point to stare（盯着） at as they stop turning. Some skaters will design a dance move at the end of a long spin. This provides a little break while the dizziness passes.
（　　） 1. What does the underlined word "spin" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Jump up and down. B. Be full of lots of noise.
C. Turn round and round quickly. D. Be filled with terrible smell.
（　　） 2. What can we put into the "_____ "in Paragraph 2
A. It can be treated easily. B. Some people never feel dizzy.
C. We don't need to care about it. D. There are many reasons for dizziness.
（　　） 3. What do our eyes do when we spin our heads to the right
A. They move to the left. B. They move to the right.
C. They move faster than our heads. D. They stop moving.
（　　） 4. How many methods for fighting dizziness are introduced in the last two paragraphs
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
（　　） 5. What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage
A. To introduce some famous skaters. B. To give us some advice on skating.
C. To explain why skaters feel less dizzy. D. To tell us how to treat dizziness.

Have you ever met anyone that hates throwing things away and saves almost everything they come across for fear that they might need it They are hoarders （ 囤积者）. In a hoarder's home, there are newspapers and books everywhere, as well as piles of clothes, toys and so on.
Although most of us might not suffer from this problem of physical hoarding （实质的囤积）, the modern technology（科技） is turning many people into digital （数码的） hoarders. As digital storage devices （存储设备） become cheaper, people now can save as many articles, photos and videos as they want. It's easy to do and seemingly harmless, but the collecting can quickly get out of control.
Physical hoarding is not so hard to deal with, while digital hoarding is much harder. Some people may begin saving copies of every photo or article they find on the Internet, or whole seasons of TV shows.

How do you know if you're becoming a digital hoarder Here are some signs: Feeling worried when deleting（删除） something, or always needing new storage devices.

If this sounds like you, to take your life back, you need to change.
Start by looking through your devices if you haven't touched a file（文件） in over a year. It is probably no longer important and can be abandoned. Next, delete all bad photos, and for each, ask yourself if you will want to see it in ten years. Above all, name the files wisely, adding descriptions and dates to make the search easier.
In a world where computers and smart phones are used widely, it's easy to find yourself living in a sea of files. As you try to move forward, make good use of your "Delete" key.
