22、These days, many gyms require clients to wear masks or face coverings. The good news: research suggests they don't actually hold up your performance.
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan gathered a group of 7 men and 7 women, ranging from slightly inactive to excellent cyclists and tested the effects of wearing a three-layer cloth face mask, a surgical mask, and no mask on their exercise performance.
The study participants started with a brief warm-up on a fixed bike, then took a progressive intensity exercise test, during which it was vital for them to keep the same pedal rate while the resistance was continually increased until exhaustion (疲惫不堪). Something like the heart rate was recorded every 30 seconds.
The results suggested that wearing a mask had no effect on performance or muscle oxygen levels. Since there was no difference in time to exhaustion between conditions, the highest power reached at the end of each test was similar in mask and no-mask conditions for all participants, Professor Chilibeck explained. Researchers also did not see any effects of the masks during exercise on blood oxygen levels, which wouldn't decrease if breathing was not affected.
And while droplet (飞沫) spread was not measured, all masks used were tested in a previous study in which they were shown to effectively minimize droplet spread, according to Chilibeck. Though the participants represented a wide range of fitness levels, it's important to note that these tests were conducted on a very small sample size, and more research is needed on larger populations to draw sweeping conclusions about the general population.
【1】How did the researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By conducting an experiment.
B．By making brief analysis.
C．By observing normal cyclists.
D．By doing medical tests.
【2】What will happen if masks block your performance?
A．Your heart rate may keep stable.
B．You might produce less droplet.
C．Your blood oxygen levels will drop.
D．You will feel more tired than before.
【3】What is the author's attitude to the study?
A．Doubtful.
B．Favorable.
C．Disapproving.
D．Objective.
【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．Why Should We Train with Masks?
B．Why Don't Masks Worsen Our Performance?
C．Do Masks Affect Our Performance?
D．Can We Train While Wearing Masks?
23、Even though they're not the most exciting things in the world, plants have attracted us ever since the days of early humans. They may not do any tricks or greet us when we come home at night like a dog would, but that doesn't mean they're any less interesting than animals.
However, just when we thought we knew everything we could about them, a recent study found that plants may have a secret ability that has gone unnoticed all this time.
According to the study by Australian biologist Monica Gagliano, published in the journal Oecologia, plants may be able to "hear” sounds . To come to this conclusion, Gagliano and her team planted pea seedlings （幼苗）in a pair of different Y-shaped pots with two arms. The first pot's arms led to fresh water, while the other's led to either dry soil or a sealed （密封的）plastic tube containing flowing water. Naturally, the first pot's seedlings grew toward the water. What's surprising, however, is that the second pot's seedlings grew toward the sealed water supply but not the soil.
"They just knew the water was there even if the only thing to discover was the sound of it flowing inside the pipe, ” Gagliano told Scientific American . She believes that plants are able to use their leaves to discover sound waves, which make tiny vibrations （振动）as they're produced. This could explain why so many people believe that singing or playing music to their plants helps them grow. “ I had a plant that I used to wash the leaves of once a week and sing to," plant lover Heather Goodall told BBC News. "It grew from being about 2 feet tall to 7 feet tall in just a couple of years."
So, does this mean we should start treating our plants like pets? Not necessarily, although perhaps it does mean we should give them more respect. "I would like to see plants accepted more as the amazing and interesting living beings, and less as just a source of human nutrition," Fatima Cvrckova, a scientist at Charles University in the Czech Republic, told BBC News.
【1】What did Gagliano find in their study?
A．Plants can recognize the sound of water.
B．Sound can change the direction plants grow toward.
C．Plants can tell the difference between various sounds.
D．Different plants can discover sounds in different ways.
【2】What do plants use to hear sound according to Gagliano?
A．Their roots
B．Their flowers
C．Their fruits
D．Their leaves
【3】Why does the author mention Heather Goodall's example?
A．To show a different way of growing plants.
B．To inspire people to sing to their plants often.
C．To prove that music plays a role in plant growth.
D．To stress the importance of treating plants like pets.
【4】What would Cvrckova probably agree with?
A．Plants are just a source of human nutrition.
B．There is still a lot we do not know about plants.
C．Plants are unbelievable and deserve more respect.
D．Most people do not care enough about their plants.
24、 When I was kid, I’d often come downstairs for breakfast and find my grandmother in the kitchen talking to herself, often going over what she was going to do that day. I thought it was the strangest thing. 【1】
Back then, I thought healthy people didn’t talk aloud when nobody else was around, did they? 【2】 It is a healthy, widespread behavior among children and adults. Research suggests the practice is most beneficial when it combines thought and action. Talking to yourself, when employed in the proper context, can even energize you mentally. Encouragement helps a person gain self-confidence and self-esteem, which contribute to success.
A study published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise had 72 tennis players take part in five rounds of play: one baseline assessment, three training sessions, and a final round. 【3】. Though both groups followed the same training program, only the experimental one was asked to practice self-talk. By the final assessment, the experimental group showed heightened self-confidence and reduced anxiety. The self-talkers also improved their game.
【4】 An in-depth analysis looked at the validity of the self talk strategy for improving athletic achievements. Totaling 32 sport studies and 62 effect sizes, it showed a positive, though moderate, effect size.
【5】 As Dr. Julia Harper, an occupational therapist said, “If we’re talking to ourselves negatively, research suggests that we’ll more likely guide ourselves to a negative outcome. However, when self-talk is neutral - as in a statement like ‘What do need to do?’ or positive, such as ‘I can get this done,’ then the outcome is much more effective.”
A．Researchers divided the players into two groups.
B．Participants with low self-confidence don’t like self-talk.
C．Unfortunately, human nature is ready for negative self-talk.
D．This effect only holds true if one’s self-talk remains encouraging.
E．These performance-energizing benefits aren’t just for tennis players either.
F．In fact, science has now shown that talking to yourself has a number of benefits.
G．Even though nobody else was around, hearing her would make me feel awkward.
