22、Unlike octopuses (章鱼), we don’t have brains in our limbs. So we can’t really “remember” anything with our arms and legs. But it’s true that once we learn how to do something physical—whether riding a bike or weightlifting—it becomes easier and easier to do it without conscious thought. Most people are referring to this phenomenon when they talk about “muscle memory”. They think the secret to learning a skill is to do it over and over again until they have developed muscle memory. But when biologists and neuroscientists (神经学家) study it, they mean at least two slightly different things.
A recent research by biologists at the University of Oslo found that the key indicators of muscular growth —myonuclei (肌核), which are inside muscle fibers, won’t disappear as muscles shrink, which suggests that our myonuclei are doing at least some of the remembering. The researchers have noted that muscle built during one’s younger years might functionally serve to allow individuals to “bank” myonuclei that could be drawn upon later in life to slow the effects of aging.
Neuroscientists, on the other hand, believe that learning to ride a bike is an exercise in episode memory: You can know how to ride a bike without being able to explain how you’re doing it. It feels to us as if that memory is stored in our muscles and they’re remembering how to perform an action without our really being aware of it. But the reality is that the activity is happening in our brains. “The processes that are important for learning and memory of new skills occur mainly in the cognitive (认知) system, not in the muscles,” explained Ainslie Johnstone, a neuroscientist at Oxford University. The parts of your brain responsible for that movement develop stronger connections between neurons that serve as the representation for the motion, and it’s these connections that make the memory better and easier to access.
Your new understanding of muscle memory is probably some combination of the two basic ideas. Anyway, the proverb, “practice makes perfect”, always holds true for us non-octopus creatures.
【1】What is people’s common belief in “muscle memory”?
A．It relies heavily on the passion for sports.
B．It can refer to two slightly different things.
C．It means remembering things with our arms and legs.
D．It is acquired from frequent repetition of a movement.
【2】Which of the following may biologists agree with?
A．Muscle memory is a short-term memory.
B．Muscle memory performs best at an old age.
C．Myonuclei fail to function as muscles disappear.
D．Myonuclei help explain the phenomenon of “muscle memory”.
【3】What plays a major role in “muscle memory” according to Ainslie Johnstone?
A．Personal feelings.
B．Episode memories
C．Neuron connections.
D．Muscle myonuclei.
【4】What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A．How different are we from an octopus?
B．What is the secret to being skillful at sports?
C．Muscle memory is real,but more than what you think.
D．The existence of muscle memory is being challenged.
23、 Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another Jamaican teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly-Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her times were not exactly impressive, but even so, he sensed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly-Ann a place in his very strict training sessions. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica’s Olympic trails in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint (短跑).
“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Berlin, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73 — the fourth fastest ever.
Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout(循环) of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.
It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.
But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.
As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.
【1】What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?
A．She would become a promising star.
B．She badly needed to set higher goals.
C．Her sprinting career would not last long.
D．Her talent for sprinting was known to all.
【2】What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track?
A．Her success and lessons in her career.
B．Her interest in Shelly-Ann’s quick profit.
C．Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty.
D．Her early entrance into the sprinting world.
【3】What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?
A．She was highly rewarded for her efforts.
B．She was eager to do more for her country.
C．She became an athletic star in her country.
D．She was the envy of the whole community.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Making of a Great Athlete

24、Blind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many people imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes (香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind.
Because I’m interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality.
Now that the MW is behind me, I taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford vs Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held before the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This year’s taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London.
【1】Which of the following is true about Blind tasting?
A. Blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.
B. Blind tasting usually has the right result.
C. Blind tasting means tasting a wine with one’s eyes covered.
D. Blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.
【2】Why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting?
A. They got all the results correctly.
B. They didn’t recognize their favorite at all.
C. The writer made no mistakes.
D. Champagnes can not be tasted blind.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The Boat Race is taken more seriously than the wine race.
B. The Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.
C. I didn’t act as a judge last year.
D. Pall Mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time.
25、As a florist, I spent hours arranging the display for an event. But a day later, it was unwanted and thrown away ________. I wanted to do something with it, believing many of the flowers still in good condition could be ________.
Thinking I could make the most of these beautiful ________, I started taking home as many as possible, and giving them to hospitals, but there were still many ________. Then, one day I had an ________.
I began repurposing some of them into ________ items. A pink agapanthus (百子莲)became a necklace, while I used a banksia(山龙眼)as a giant headpiece. A friend, Lily was at- tractive, with the orange flowers on her ________, which looked like a famous hairstyle. And some of my creations were ________ by another friend.
Sharing the photos on the social media got people ________. Many were ________ at how wasteful the floral industry could be. By then, I found more ________. My artworks showed me that we really could ________ flowers. On Valentine’s Day, there were so many ________ roses that I wove them together into a giant red suit, which Lily wore while walking through the city.
I think my work is ________ the ideas about beauty. Something people might think is ________ for the bin can really have a whole other life in it. So I hope people can think more about what they throw out.
