Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer.That dream nearly ended one night in 2010.Hill was in a car accident that put her in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed (瘫痪的).For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career.For Hill, it was the beginning.Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to think a lot of her life and she wanted to overcome the difficulty and prove that she was still “normal”． “Normal” for her meant dancing.With half of her body taken away, Hill had to move with hands.It took a lot of learning and patience, but she still made it in her wheelchair with her non­disabled high school dance team.After graduation from high school in California, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her.She met online the women who had suffered various back injuries but shared the same determination with her. Hoping to reach more people in a larger city and break down the false belief of wheelchair users, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014, formed a team of dancers with disabilities and named it the Rollettes.As she always believes, dancing on wheels can be just as good as the foot­based dance. In disabled dance competitions, all dancers from her team gave great performances and they were having fun.And the audience's cheers, whistles and applause suggested that the fun was spreading. Hill has achieved what many of us never will: the childhood dream.But the Rollettes has helped her find something else just as satisfying.Every year she holds a dance camp, the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users of all ages, to help them find their inner heroines (女英雄).In 2019, over 173 women from ten countries attended the Rollettes Experience.For most of these women, it was the first time they had felt they belonged.Edna Serrano told a reporter that being part of the Rollettes team challenged her to be more independent.“It even gives me the courage to take up driving，” she said.

Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket.For the first stage of the study, participants threw the ball from a fixed point.They threw the ball while listening to music of their choice, while not listening to music, or while listening to music that the researchers selected.For the second stage, they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices. The study found that listening to music, whether it was music of the volunteer's choice or a song chosen for them, did not make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket.It had no effect.What it did do was increase self­esteem and make the study participants more likely to take risks, especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music. The results suggest that music may pump you up.And it may even help you work out harder and longer than you would without it.But no matter what song you listen to, it's not going to help you get that ball into the basket. Another study took a detailed look at how music pace might affect exercise.Researchers found that listening to high­pace music makes people feel like they're working less while also benefiting their bodies more. Listening to high­pace music while exercising resulted in the higher heart rate compared with not listening to music.This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial(有益的) in terms of enhancing physical fitness. The study found that the beneficial effects of high­pace music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high­intensity(高强度) exercises such as weightlifting. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。发表在《心理学前沿》杂志上的一项研究对运动中的音乐进行了更深入的研究， 特别是听音乐如何影响一个人的整体表现。 5．What were volunteers allowed to do while shooting in the second stage test? A．Choose position and music.

A．Music given by experts. B．Music chosen by males. C．Peaceful music. D．Loud music. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第三段“What it did do was increase self­esteem and make the study participants more likely to take risks, especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.(它确实做到的是增强了参与者的自尊， 让他们更有可能冒险， 尤其是那些被允许自己选择音乐的男性。)”可知， 在投球测试中， 男性选择的音乐更令人鼓舞。故选B。 7．Which sentence matches the results of high­pace music in this study? A．It has no effect on sports. B．It improves your athletic skills. C．It helps easily achieve better workout. D．High­pace music is beneficial for all forms of exercise. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知， 运动时听节奏快的音乐比不听音乐时心率高， 这意味着运动看起来不那么费力， 但就加强身体素质而言， 快节奏音乐更有益。由此可推知， C选项“它有助于轻松获得更好的锻炼”与快节奏音乐的结果相匹配。故选C。 8．What does the underlined word “enhancing” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Reducing. B．Balancing. C．Changing. D．Strengthening. 解析　D　词义猜测题。结合句意可知， 就加强身体素质而言， 快节奏音乐更有益。此处指有利于加强身体素质， strengthen“加强”与画线词意思一致。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五 In your life, sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people.Although it sounds a little scary, even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation. Practice your speech before the big day. 1 If possible, practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people.If you feel you must have note cards, limit the amount to about three.This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience. Remember why you've been invited to speak.If you're battling fear of speaking to a large group of people, keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role.The speech organizers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise. 2 Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3 Most people would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position.Knowing this may make you feel better. 4 What you say should be tailored to why you're there and who you're speaking to in order to avoid sounding general.If speaking to a charity group, mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause.If speaking at a business conference, briefly state why you want to help these people. Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5 Pick one person in each section and look at him while you're speaking.After each important point in your speech, switch your focus to another section.When you focus only on one person at a time, the size of the crowd isn't as frightening. A．A good memory is really helpful. B．Show appreciation to your audience. C．Mention your audience in your speech. D．The more you have it memorized, the better. E．In fact，it's normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech. F．Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak. G．The knowledge of other people's respect for you should reduce some of the fear.
