55、nyone who has worn a cast (石膏) knows that rebuilding muscle strength once the cast is removed can be difficult. Now researchers at the Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute (OMNI) at Ohio University have found that the mind is critical in maintaining muscle strength following a long period
56、 of not moving and that mental imagination may be key in reducing the associated muscle loss.Strength is controlled by a number of factors-the most studied by far is skeletal muscle. However, the nervous system is also an important, though not fully understood, determining factor of strength and wea
57、kness.Brian C. Clark and colleagues set out to test how the system functions in strength development. They designed an experiment to measure changes in wrist (腕) muscle strength in three groups of healthy adults. Twenty-nine subjects wore a hard cast that extended from just below the elbow (肘) past
58、the fingers, effectively preventing the hand and wrist from moving, for four weeks. Fifteen subjects who did not wear casts served as the control group.Of the 29 people wearing a hard cast, half were asked to regularly perform an exercise, imagining they were strongly contracting their wrist for fiv
59、e seconds and then resting for five seconds. This was repeated four times in a row followed by a one-minute break for a total of 13 rounds per session and five sessions per week. The other half performed no imagination exercises.At the end of the four-week experiment, both groups who wore casts had
60、lost strength in their unmoving limbs (肢体) when compared to the control group. But the group that performed imagination exercises lost 50% less strength than the non-imagination group. The nervous systems ability to fully make the muscle recover also returned more quickly in the imagination group co
61、mpared to the non-imagination group.28. What does the underlined word “critical” mean in the first paragraph?A. Serious.B. Disapproving.C. Significant.D. Criticizing.29. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists have partly understood the nervous system.B.
62、Whoever has worn a cast for long may have difficulty in muscle recovery.C. Scientists have already spent a lot of time in studying skeletal muscle.D. The number of the subjects in the experiment was 29 in all.30. What can we learn from the experiment?A. The control group lost 50% less strength than
63、the non-imagination group.B. The imagination group lost more strength than the non-imagination group.C The control group wore casts but didnt perform the imagination exercise.D. The speed of non-imagination groups muscle recovery was slower.31. Where can you most probably find the passage?A. In a sc
64、ience magazine.B. In a storybook.C. In a textbook .D. In a book review.【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明精神上的想象也许是减少相关肌肉损失的关键。力量是由多个因素控制的。【28题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句后半句mental imagination may be key in reducing the associated muscle loss. 精神上的想象也许是减少相关肌肉损失的关键。可知划线单词的意思是“重要的”，故选C。【29题详解】细节理解题。根
65、据第三段中的最后两句“Twenty-nine subjects wore a hard cast 29”名受试者戴着一个硬石膏。“Fifteen subjects who did not wear casts served as the control group. ”十五名没有戴上石膏的受试者作为对照组。因此可知参与做实验的人数是44，所以D选项错误。故选D。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The nervous systems ability to fully make the muscle recover also returned more quickly in the
66、 imagination group compared to the non-imagination group. ”充分使肌肉恢复的神经系统的能力与非想象组相比较在想象组中也恢复的更快。由此判断出，非想象组的肌肉恢复速度较慢。故选D。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Now researchers at the Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute (OMNI) at Ohio University have found that-”现在研究员已经发现-；第二段第一句“Strength is controlled by a
67、number of factors-the most studied by far is skeletal muscle. ”力量是由多个因素控制的最多研究的是骨骼肌；第三段第一句“Brian C. Clark and colleagues set out to test how the system functions in strength development.” Brian C. Clark和同事们着手测试系统功能在强度开发中的作用。由此判断出短文来自于科学杂志，故选A。 DIt is a question we often wonder, especially as we age:
68、 How many years do I have left? Well, thanks to Brazilian doctor Claudio Gil Araujo, there is now a simple test you can perform right at home in just a few seconds that could predict how many years you have left to live, according to “Discover”.Begin by standing straight in the middle of a room. Wit
69、hout using your arms or hands, carefully squat (蹲) into a cross-legged sitting position. Once you are comfortable, attempt to stand back up from the sitting position again, without using your arms or hands for help. The test is scored on a point scale between 1 and 10 (5 points for sitting, 5 more p
70、oints for standing back up). Each time you use an arm or a hand for help in balancing during the test, you subtract (减去) one point from 10 possible points and half a point is subtracted each time you lose your balance.It seems like a pretty simple test of training, but Araujo found that it could pre
71、dict life expectancy. He tested it on more than 2,000 of his patients aged 51 to 80, and found that people who scored less than 8 points on the test were twice as likely to die within the next six years. Those who scored three points or less were five times more likely to die within that same time.
72、Overall, each point achieved in the test meant a 21-percent reduction in mortality (死亡率).Araujos study was only performed on patients older than 50, so the results wont mean the same thing for younger ones taking the test. But without considering your age, the test should provide a useful benchmark
73、(基准) for your health. If you are younger than 50 and have trouble with the test, it ought to be a wake-up call. The good news is that the younger you are, the more time you have to get into better shape.32. How many points will Peter get if he just achieved the cross-legged sitting position in the t
74、est perfectly?A. 3 points.B. 5 points.C. 6 points.D. 9 points.33. What is the important part of Claudio Gil Araujos test if people want to get a high score?A. Stand straight enough in the right middle of a room.B. Squat into a cross-legged sitting position and keep the action.C. Try to keep their ba
75、lance without using arms or hands for help.D. Try to stand back up from the sitting position as soon as possible.34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The test is only suitable for people who are older than 50 years oldB. The test has the same benchmark upon old people and young people.C.
76、 Younger people can also use the test to be a benchmark for their health.D. Older people should take the test seriously to predict the life expectancy.35. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Younger to Do the Test, the Longer to LiveB. The Older to Do the Test, the Longer to LiveC.
77、A Test to Tell Your Life ExpectancyD. A Magic Test to Extend Life【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项预期寿命的测试。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The test is scored on a point scale between 1 and 10 (5 points for sitting, 5 more points for standing back up). (这项测试的评分范围在1到10之间（坐5分，站5分）)”可知，如果Peter在考试中
78、完美的完成了盘腿坐的姿势，他会得5分。故选B。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Each time you use an arm or a hand for help in balancing during the test, you subtract (减去) one point from 10 possible points and half a point is subtracted each time you lose your balance. (在测试过程中，你每使用一次手臂或手来帮助保持平衡，就从10分中减去1分，每失去一次平衡就减去0.5分)”可推知，如果人们想要得到高
79、分，那么Claudio Gil Araujo的测试中最重要的部分是尽量保持平衡，不要用手臂或手来帮助他们。故选C。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Araujos study was only performed on patients older than 50, so the results wont mean the same thing for younger ones taking the test. But without considering your age, the test should provide a useful benchmark (基准) for y
80、our health. (阿劳霍的研究只对50岁以上的患者进行，所以对参加测试的年轻人来说，结果并不相同。但不考虑你的年龄，这项测试应该为你的健康提供一个有用的基准)”可知，年轻人也可以把这个测试作为他们健康的基准。故选C。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is a question we often wonder, especially as we age: How many years do I have left? Well, thanks to Brazilian doctor Claudio Gil Araujo, there is now a simple test yo
81、u can perform right at home in just a few seconds that could predict how many years you have left to live, according to “Discover”. (这是一个我们经常想知道的问题，尤其是随着年龄的增长：我还能活多少年？据发现杂志报道，多亏了巴西医生克劳迪奥吉尔阿劳霍，现在有了一种简单的测试，你可以在家里做几秒钟就能预测你还能活多少年)”及对该项测试的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了一项预期寿命的测试。由此可知，A Test to Tell Your Life Expectancy(一项告
82、诉你预期寿命的测试)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Whether you are a new blogger, or one that has been blogging for a while, you are probably wondering how to make the best of your blog. _36_ By doing so, you can get your blog known, promote a product and get t
