21、People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. 【1】 It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.
Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. 【2】
In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to reach the post-training level. But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising.
【3】 It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. 【4】
Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. 【5】 You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again.
A．The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.
B．Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way.
C．This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.
D．That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.
E．It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.
F．It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have.
G．All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme.
22、On November 10, China’s deep-sea manned submersible (潜水艇) Fendouzhe set a new record of 10,909 meters in the Challenger Deep located at the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.
For deep-sea exploration, the biggest challenge is the water pressure. The Mariana Trench, completely dark and extremely low in temperature, is one of the harshest areas on Earth. At the Challenger Deep, the water pressure is around 11,250 tons per square meter, which is equivalent to 2,000 African elephants stepping on person’s back.
Another threat is the seawater itself, which could corrode electronics and batteries. Underwater communication, navigation (航行) and tracking can also be extremely difficult.
To deal with these issues, Chinese scientists spent years creating a new titanium alloy (钛合金) that is lightweight, but strong enough for the job. The green, fish-shaped vehicle is the first manned submersible that can carry three people to dive and conduct full ocean survey in the world.
But why send humans instead of robots? Yang Ning, deputy director of the Institute of Deep-Sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the “human touch” is important for underwater exploration.
“The ocean floor is dark and can be very cloudy due to sediment (沉淀物) and debris (废弃物), and cameras sometimes cannot detect things in these situations as effectively as human eyes,” Yang told China Daily.
In addition, humans may bring surprising discoveries, Yang pointed out. For example, on March 18, the submersible Shenhai Yongshi picked up a signal that was thought to be insignificant at the beginning. But Xie Wei, the marine microbiology expert on-board, suggested looking further into it. It turned out they had actually recorded a whale fall, an extremely rare occurrence, and the first one in the region.
【1】What is the biggest challenge submersibles face when exploring the Mariana Trench?
A．Working in complete darkness.
B．Navigating the path underwater.
C．Communicating in extremely low temperatures.
D．Dealing with the extremely high water pressure.
【2】What does the underlined word “corrode” most probably mean?
A．Improve.
B．Destroy.
C．Press.
D．Remove.
【3】What allowed Fendouzhe to operate at the Challenger Deep?
A．The use of a new navigation system.
B．The use of an advanced tracking device.
C．The cabin made of a new titanium alloy.
D．The cabin designed in the shape of a giant fish.
【4】Why are humans sent for underwater exploration instead of robots onboard Fendouzhe?
A．Robots can pick up insignificant signals.
B．Robots can’t work well on the ocean floor.
C．Humans can conduct more complex ocean surveys.
D．Humans can detect things more effectively and flexibly.
23、People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver's license. The law went into effect on January l. California is not the first American state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador eight years ago without permission from the U.S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants." Others call them "undocumented immigrants".
Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.
The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.
Dan Schnur, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young, white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
"It's simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did." Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States.
【1】Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited?
A. Because he can request a driver's license.
B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California.
C. Because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant.
D. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.
【1】What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens'?
A. The words “Federal Limits Apply” will abuse illegal immigrants
B. They can't be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building.
C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.
D. With the words "Federal Limits Apply", immigrants can enjoy special rights.
【1】What’s the public's attitude towards the new law released on January l in California?
A. supportive B. negative
C. neutral D. controversial
