C Where do great musicians,great mathematicians and great sportspeople get their talent?For decades now,we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have.When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice,practice, practice,people assumed that he was merely being modest.But scientists now believe that there was a good deal of truth in what he said. Throughout the last century,it was accepted that we inherit (many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA,that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence--a fixed IQ,and that most of us are to be ordinary.But now it is accepted that our genes interact with their surroundings,getting turned on and off all the time."There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,"explains Michael Meaney of McGill University."And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes.They work alongside each other." How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities?Does it now mean that genes don't matter,and that we all have the potential to be like,say,Lionel Messi or Lebron James?Such a claim flies in the face of reason.The genes we inherit clearly matter,as do genetic differences between individuals.But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is,nor Lebron James a basketball superstar,without putting in thousands of hours of practice.They could have turned out entirely different people.Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees."High 高二英语试卷第3页共8页 academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count," he writes in his book Talented Teenagers,"and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline." 8.What did Ted Williams think led to his success? A.His natural talent. B.His full commitment. C.His modest personality. D.His extraordinary intelligence. 9.What did we widely believe during the 20 century? A.Intelligence has little to do with DNA B.Our genes interact with our environment. C.The majority of us are of average intelligence. D.Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA 10.Why does the author mention"Lionel Messi"and"Lebron James"in paragraph 3? A.To clarify a point. B.To illustrate a rule. C.To offer a solution. D.To make a prediction. 11.Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with? A.Most of us are born to be average persons. B.We could all be geniuses if working hard enough. C.Great talent is a combination of genes and practice. D.Genetic factors are more important than hard work. D Do you listen to music at the gym?Today,most gym-goers like to wear head-phones and listen to self-selected music while they're doing exercise.Why do songs from personalized playlists seem to increase motivation and make intense exercise more enjoyable when someone is walking or jogging? Based on practical experience,a recent study provides new evidence that listening to music while running on a treadmill (fights with mental tiredness and improves performance.According to a news release,this study is "the first to investigate the effect of listening to music playlists on long-distance running capacity and performance when mentally tired".These findings were published online ahead of print on June 22. For this study,researchers from the University of Edinburgh had a group of experienced runners do a high-intensity 5-kilometre treadmill run with and without self-selected motivational music after they'd performed a series of cognitive ( exams designed to put them in a mentally tired state.The researchers found that"listening to self-selected music in a mentally tired state reduces the negative impact of mental tiredness on their running capacity and performance,potentially due to changed perception of effort when listening to music". "Mental tiredness is a common occurrence for many of us and can negatively impact many of our day-to-day activities,including exercise.Finding safe and effective ways to 高二英语试卷第4项共8页 reduce this negative impact is,therefore,useful,"Shaun Phillips of Edinburgh's Moray House School said in the news release. "The findings indicate that listening to personalized motivational music may be a useful strategy to help active people improve their endurance running capacity and performance when mentally tired,"he added,"This positive impact of self-selected music could help people to better keep the quality and beneficial impact of their exercise sessions." 12.What's the function of the questions in paragraph 1? A.To make a comparison. B.To make a prediction. C.To ask for information. D.To lead in the topic. 13.What was taken into consideration in the experiment design? A.Runners'cognitive levels. B.Runners'mental states. C.Runners'running ability. D.Runners'music preference 14.Why does the author quote Shaun Phillips'words in the last two paragraphs? A.To describe the experimental process. B.To further clarify the result of the finding. C.To explore ways to enhance sports performance. D.To explain the harmful effects of mental tiredness. 15.What is the main idea of the text? A.Motivational music cheers runners up. B.Self-selected music maintains life quality. C.Self-selected music treats mental illnesses. D.Personalized music makes runners less tired. 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。 Some people put their bicycles away once they learn how to drive a car.For many people,bicycling is not just an easy way of getting around town but also an exciting sport.16.
