Its climate is cold and dry. There are more sheep than people across the land. But some exciting finds have made Patagonia a hot and well-known place. The bones of the largest dinosaurs and a huge nest of dinosaur eggs were found there. Patagonia was not always such an empty and boring place. Around 90 million years ago, it was warm. It got plenty of rain. This climate was perfect for many kinds of plants and animals. There were forests of tall trees. It was a great place for plant-eating dinosaurs. Even the hugest plant eaters could find plenty to eat The three largest dinosaur skeletons in the world are plant eaters from Patagonia. None of the skeletons is complete. But scientists have enough bones from these big animals to picture what they looked like. All of them had long necks and tails, Their size was truly amazing, from 105 to 131 feet long. They all walked on four feet. Patagonia is also the place where the skeleton of the largest meat-eating dinosaur was discovered. This meat eater was about half as long as the biggest plant eaters. However, its big and sharp teeth made it a powerful killer. So far, Patagonia’s coolest discovery isn’t skeletons but a huge dinosaur hatching (孵化) ground. There were thousands of dinosaur eggs in the ground! Scientists have learned a lot from studying these eggs. They were laid about 80 million years ago. If they had hatched, the dinosaur babies would have been about 1. 25 feet long. When full-grown, they would have been 45 feet long.

There are more sheep than people across the land. But some exciting finds have made Patagonia a hot and well-known place. The bones of the largest dinosaurs and a huge nest of dinosaur eggs were found there. (巴塔哥尼亚是南美洲的一部分，地势平坦，没有树木。它的气候寒冷干燥。这片土地上的羊比人还多。但一些令人兴奋的发现使巴塔哥尼亚成为一个热门且知名的地方。在那里发现了最大的恐龙骨骼和一大窝恐龙蛋。)”以及第四段“Patagonia is also the place where the skeleton of the largest meat-eating dinosaur was discovered. This meat eater was about half as long as the biggest plant eaters. (巴塔哥尼亚也是发现最大肉食性恐龙骨骼的地方。这种肉食性恐龙的长度约为最大植食性恐龙的一半。)”可知，主要介绍了巴塔哥尼亚地区因发现恐龙化石而变得著名，这些化石揭示了恐龙曾经生活在这里的证据。因此，最佳标题是“Where Dinosaurs Once Lived (恐龙曾经生活的地方。)”。故选C。 C If you’ve ever seen a movie at a theatre, you will see advertisements everywhere for one snack. It’s popcorn! But why do we always eat popcorn at the movies? Before the big screen was invented, popcorn was a popular snack sold at carnivals (狂欢节). By the late 1800s, the popcorn making machine came out and it was easier to make popcorn. As a result, this delicious salty snack became super popular. But it wasn’t fancy. So when the first movie theatres opened around 1900, they wanted nothing to do with the cheap popcorn. At that moment, theatres were fancy places designed for the well-educated. This was especially true in the age of silent films. No movie theatre would allow such a loud and messy food into its performances. But all that changed in 1927 when films with sound were invented and movies became cheap and easy pastimes for people rich and poor. From then on, popcorn became the perfect inexpensive food to go with the film. Although accepted by most movie theatres, popcorn was not sold in them, but on the streets. Seeing the popcorn sellers made a good profit from people standing in line for movie tickets, the theatre owners realized they could cut out the middle man and sell popcorn themselves. This happened in the 1930s, and the move made big profits for the movie theatres. Soon the Great Depression hit. People had no money to spend on movies, which almost led the extinction of movie theatres. Only the ones that sold popcorn survived. Thus, popcorn is a reason why movie theatres are still around today. The relationship between popcorn and the movies was really set in stone during World War I was hard to get snacks in movie theatres except popcorn So popcorn turned out to be a must-have the movie theatre experience. Since then, the price of popcorn has been rising continuously so that movie theatres could stay alive without raising ticket prices. It might be overpriced, but today’s popcorn continues its long and storied history in movie theatres, In fact, it may very well be one of the most influential snacks in pop culture. 24. In the late 1800s, popcorn became popular because of ______________. A. the advertisements B. its sales at carnivals C. popcorn machines D. the movie theatres 25. What probably stopped the first movie theatres accepting popcorn? A. The smell. B. The price. C. The taste. D. The noise. 26. How did the movie theatres survive the Great Depression according to the passage? A. By raising ticket prices. B. By selling popcorn. C. By serving other snacks. D. By working with street sellers. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. A popular snack at movies. B. A story of movie theatres. C. An invention of theatre owners. D. A good profit from films. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了爆米花如何成为电影院标配零食的历史背景和原因。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By the late 1800s, the popcorn making machine came out and it was easier to make popcorn. As a result, this delicious salty snack became super popular. (到了19世纪末，爆米花机问世，制作爆米花变得更加容易。因此，这种美味的咸味零食变得非常流行)”可知，爆米花机的发明使得制作爆米花变得更加容易，从而使其变得非常流行。故选C。 25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So when the first movie theatres opened around 1900, they wanted nothing to do with the cheap popcorn. At that moment, theatres were fancy places designed for the well-educated. This was especially true in the age of silent films. No movie theatre would allow such a loud and messy food into its performances. (所以当1900年左右第一批电影院开业时，他们根本不想要与廉价的爆米花有任何关系。当时，电影院是专为受过良好教育的人设计的豪华场所。这一点在无声电影时代尤为明显。没有一家电影院会允许这样一种吵闹且容易弄脏的食物进入其表演)”可知，早期电影院拒绝爆米花的原因是它太吵且容易弄脏。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Soon the Great Depression hit. People had no money to spend on movies, which almost led the extinction of movie theatres. Only the ones that sold popcorn survived. Thus, popcorn is a reason why movie theatres are still around today. (不久，大萧条来临。人们没有钱花在电影上，这几乎导致了电影院的灭绝。只有那些出售爆米花的电影院幸存了下来。因此，爆米花是电影院今天依然存在的一个重要原因)”可知，只有那些出售爆米花的电影院在大萧条期间存活了下来。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you’ve ever seen a movie at a theatre, you will see advertisements everywhere for one snack. It’s popcorn! But why do we always eat popcorn at the movies? (如果你曾经在电影院看过电影，你会发现到处都有一个零食的广告。那就是爆米花！但为什么我们在电影院总是吃爆米花呢)”、第六段“Only the ones that sold popcorn survived. Thus, popcorn is a reason why movie theatres are still around today. (只有那些出售爆米花的电影院幸存了下来。因此，爆米花是电影院今天依然存在的一个重要原因)”以及倒数第二段“The relationship between popcorn and the movies was really set in stone during World War I was hard to get snacks in movie theatres except popcorn. So popcorn turned out to be a must-have the movie theatre experience. (爆米花与电影的关系在第一次世界大战期间真正确定了下来，因为那时在电影院里很难得到其他零食，只有爆米花。所以爆米花成了看电影的必备体验)”可知，文章主要介绍了爆米花如何成为电影院标配零食的历史背景和原因。因此文章主要是关于电影中的一种流行零食。故选A。 D Whether you’re new to working out or you’ve been hitting the gym for years, you’ve probably heard people talking about DOMS in relation to post-workout muscle (肌肉) pain. DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, which is a term used to describe the muscular aches, stiffness or soreness experienced between 24 and 72 hours after some particularly tough exercise or a new type of exercise that the body is not used to. While DOMS may feel like an injury, it’s actually a normal response to a tough workout. Some experts explain that DOMS is: a sign that muscle fibers have been overloaded to the extent that tiny tears in these fibers have occurred and the surrounding tissues will feel sore, tight, possibly slightly inflamed (发炎的) and you may not be able to go through your full range of movement in a muscle joint. In fact, it means that your muscles are physically changing, rebuilding, and becoming stronger. DOMS can feel slightly different for different people and can present in different areas of the body. There isn’t actually a proven way to cure DOMS. However, there are various methods you can use to reduce the pain. Some studies suggest that drinking water to stay hydrated can help to ease the pain and bring oxygen to the ton muscles to speed up the repair process. A 2005 study in the Journal of Athletic Training showed, that becoming dehydrated during a workout could worsen DOMS. Heat treatment can also help with your DOMS. A 2017 study in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine found that applying “low temperature heat wraps” to the worked muscles immediately after a workout was an effective way to prevent DOMS and that it increased flexibility of tissue and tissue blood flow. The study also found that applying heat 24 hours after the workout was less effective. Massaging (按摩) the sore area can also be very effective. In fact, a 2018 study in the journal Frontiers in Physiology found that it helped relax the sore muscles and reduce DOMS. A tough workout comes with some results. If you find yourself feeling stiff and sore in the days after your workout, you probably have a case of DOMS. And remember, the more you work out, the less you’ll experience DOMS. 28. What is DOMS? A. A physical pain. B. A tough exercise. C. An unhealthy sign. D. A stressful lifestyle. 29. When experiencing DOMS, people may___________________. A. become sleepless B. move slowly C. feel breathless D. lose hearing 30. What does the underlined word “dehydrated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tired. B. Flexible. C. Thirsty. D. Relaxed. 31. What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 4-6? A. The signs of DOMS. B. The reasons behind DOMS. C. The examples of DOMS. D. The ways to reduce DOMS. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了延迟性肌肉酸痛（DOMS）的概念、原因以及缓解方法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether you’re new to working out, or you’ve been hitting the gym for years, you’ve probably heard people talking about DOMS in relation to post-workout muscle pain. DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, which is a term used to describe the muscular aches, stiffness or soreness experienced between 24 and 72 hours after some particularly tough exercise or a new type of exercise that the body is not used to. (无论你是刚开始锻炼，还是已经坚持健身多年，你可能都听说过与运动后肌肉疼痛相关的DOMS。DOMS代表延迟性肌肉酸痛，这个词用来描述在进行特别艰苦的锻炼或身体不习惯的新类型锻炼后24到72小时内出现的肌肉疼痛、僵硬或不适。)”可知，DOMS是延迟性肌肉酸痛，是一种身体疼痛。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Some experts explain that DOMS is: a sign that muscle fibers have been overloaded to the extent that tiny tears in these fibers have occurred and the surrounding tissues will feel sore, tight, possibly slightly inflamed and you may not be able to go through your full range of movement in a muscle joint. (一些专家解释说，DOMS是：肌肉纤维过度负荷，导致这些纤维出现微小撕裂，周围组织会感到疼痛、紧绷，可能略微发炎，你可能无法完成关节的全部活动范围。)”可推知，经历DOMS时，可能无法完成关节的全部活动范围，所以人们可能会移动缓慢。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Some studies suggest that drinking water to stay hydrated can help to ease the pain and bring oxygen to the ton muscles to speed up the repair process. A 2005 study in the Journal of Athletic Training showed, that becoming dehydrated during a workout could worsen DOMS. (一些研究表明，喝水保持水分可以帮助缓解疼痛，并将氧气输送到紧张的肌肉中，加速修复过程。2005年《运动训练杂志》的一项研究显示，在锻炼过程中dehydrated会加剧DOMS。)”可知，水保持水分可以帮助缓解疼痛，在锻炼过程中dehydrated会加剧DOMS。因此，“dehydrated”指的是缺水或口渴。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Some studies suggest that drinking water to stay hydrated can help to ease the pain and bring oxygen to the ton muscles to speed up the repair process. (一些研究表明，喝水保持水分可以帮助缓解疼痛，并将氧气输送到紧张的肌肉中，加速修复过程。)”、第五段“Heat treatment can also help with your DOMS. (热疗也可以帮助缓解你的DOMS。)”以及第六段“Massaging the sore area can also be very effective. (按摩疼痛区域也非常有效。)”可知，第4-6段分别讨论了通过补水、热敷和按摩来减轻DOMS的方法，所以文章主要讨论了减轻DOMS的方法。故选D。 第二节(共4小题;每小题2分, 共8分) 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 Wearing masks is widely believed to be a simple but useful method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. In the first century, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of breathing illnesses. To work out this problem, Pliny the Elder, a Roman philosopher (哲学家) and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Thus, Pliny the Elder was considered the inventor of the first recorded mask. Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Around the 16th century, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci suggested using a cloth wetted in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals (化学物质). The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to get the official right to produce a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikuliez-Radecki designed a simple mask made up of one piece of medical gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent getting diseases. That was the first recorded use of a medical mask. In 1910, a terrible disease broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”, which was made of two pieces of medical gauze. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple and cheap to make. With the happening of widely spreading diseases and the rise of air pollution, the materials in masks have continued to develop to better protect the wearers in modern times. For example, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can help prevent smog from being breathed in, have become highly popular. 32. Who was considered the inventor of the first recorded mask? (不多于三个单词) ______________________________________________________________________ 33. What was the first medical mask made of? (不多于两个单词) ______________________________________________________________________ 34. Why was “Wu’s mask” praised by experts around the world? (不多于八个单词) ______________________________________________________________________ 35. What is the main idea of the passage? (不多于四个单词) ______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】32. Pliny the Elder. 33. Medical gauze. 34. Because it was simple and cheap to make. 35. The history of masks. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们普遍认为戴口罩是保护自己免受各种有害物质侵害的一种简单而有用的方法，文章介绍了口罩的发展历史。 【32题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句“Thus, Pliny the Elder was considered the inventor of the first recorded mask.(因此，老普林尼被认为是第一个有记载的口罩的发明者。)”可知，老普林尼被认为是第一个有记载的口罩的发明者。根据要求可知，答案应不多于三个单词。故答案为Pliny the Elder. 【33题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段第四句“Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikuliez-Radecki designed a simple mask made up of one piece of medical gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent getting diseases.(后来，在1897年，波兰奥地利医生Johann von Mikuliez-Radecki设计了一种由一块医用纱布组成的简单口罩，建议医务工作者佩戴它来预防疾病。)”可知，第一个医用口罩是由医用纱布做成的。根据要求可知，答案应不多于两个单词。故答案为Medical gauze. 【34题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段最后一句“This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple and cheap to make.(这款口罩制作简单，成本低廉，受到了世界各地专家的好评。)”可知，“吴氏口罩”受到世界各地专家的好评是因为制作简单成本低廉。根据要求可知，答案应不多于八个单词。故答案为Because it was simple and cheap to make. 【35题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第二段最后一句“Thus, Pliny the Elder was considered the inventor of the first recorded mask.(因此，老普林尼被认为是第一个有记载的口罩的发明者。)”，第三段“Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Around the 16th century, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci suggested using a cloth wetted in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals (化学物质).(早期的发明并没有在普林尼这里停止。大约在16世纪，意大利艺术家和发明家列奥纳多·达·芬奇建议用一块浸湿了水的布盖在脸上，以防止有毒的化学物质。)”，第四段第一句“The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century.(口罩的设计在19世纪向前迈进了一大步。)”，第五段前两句“In 1910, a terrible disease broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”, which was made of two pieces of medical gauze.(1910年，一场可怕的疾病在中国东北爆发。中国医生吴连德设计了一种廉价的口罩，名为“吴氏口罩”，由两片医用纱布制成。)”和最后一段第一句“With the happening of widely spreading diseases and the rise of air pollution, the materials in masks have continued to develop to better protect the wearers in modern times.(随着疾病的广泛传播和空气污染的加剧，口罩的材料不断发展，以便在现代更好地保护佩戴者。)”可知，文章主要是讲口罩的历史。根据要求可知，答案应不多于四个单词。故答案为The history of masks. 四、书面表达(共1小题, 20分) 36. 根据题目所提出的具体要求, 在答题卡上写出一篇连贯完整的短文。词数不少于60。 假如你是李华, 你校将举办“用英语讲中国故事(Chinese Tale, English Tell)”演讲比赛。 请参考下表提供的信息, 写邮件告诉交换生Jack比赛的要求及注意事项, 并邀请他参加。 短文的开头已为你写好, 不计入总词数。 Time September 18th Place the school hall Tips ·get to the school hall on time · share your story within 4 minutes ·be calm when answering the judge’s questions Dear Jack, I’m writing to tell you that our school will hold an English speech competition named “Chinese Tale, English Tell”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Jack, I’m writing to tell you that our school will hold an English speech competition named “Chinese Tale, English Tell”.

The new clothes designs have come out, although it may still take a bit of time for us to put real clothes on. ◆All-season Wear This new wear is coated with carbon and copper (铜). On cold days, turn the copper side out. That takes heat in, so you stay warm. When spring comes, turn the copper side in. Now the copper pulls heat from your body to keep you cool. ◆___________ To clean this coat, just stay in the sun! UV light from the sun will heat the outer side of the coat and remove dirt for you. You stay cool, but dirty marks become weaker and weaker! Some light ones disappear in minutes - tough ones might take a day or longer. ◆Self-repairing Jeans Are you sick of holes in your jeans? The new jeans repair themselves! If there is a hole, just rub the area rapidly. Heat from the rubbing will make the fibers (纤维) connect up again, fixing the hole. Hole? No! New jeans again! ◆Power-up Party Dress Power-up Party Dress is made from ordinary cloth with metal lines inside. The metal lines can help change light energy into electricity. The lines send the electricity to power LED lights for a truly beautiful party look! ◆New Airbag Suit The outer side of the suit could sense the dangers or risks, such as a fall. Then the whole suit could fill itself up with air like a balloon. This air bag suit can keep adventurers or athletes alive from dangerous situations. 16. When wearing All-season Wear in winter, you need to _____________. A. turn the copper side out B. warm yourself up first C. connect fibers up rapidly D. charge the coat daily 17. Which of the following could be put in the blank in the passage? A. Wind-wash Coat. B. Sun-clean Coat. C. Self-heating Coat. D. Water-cooling Coat. 18. If Linda goes rock climbing, which clothes will fit her best? A. All-season Wear. B. Self-repairing Jeans. C. New Airbag Suit. D. Power-up Party Dress. 19. The purpose of this passage is to ______________. A. discuss a party programme B. plan a scientific survey C. share wearing experiences D. introduce clothes designs B Patagonia is a part of South America, flat and treeless. Its climate is cold and dry. There are more sheep than people across the land. But some exciting finds have made Patagonia a hot and well-known place. The bones of the largest dinosaurs and a huge nest of dinosaur eggs were found there. Patagonia was not always such an empty and boring place. Around 90 million years ago, it was warm. It got plenty of rain. This climate was perfect for many kinds of plants and animals. There were forests of tall trees. It was a great place for plant-eating dinosaurs. Even the hugest plant eaters could find plenty to eat The three largest dinosaur skeletons in the world are plant eaters from Patagonia. None of the skeletons is complete. But scientists have enough bones from these big animals to picture what they looked like. All of them had long necks and tails, Their size was truly amazing, from 105 to 131 feet long. They all walked on four feet. Patagonia is also the place where the skeleton of the largest meat-eating dinosaur was discovered. This meat eater was about half as long as the biggest plant eaters. However, its big and sharp teeth made it a powerful killer. So far, Patagonia’s coolest discovery isn’t skeletons but a huge dinosaur hatching (孵化) ground. There were thousands of dinosaur eggs in the ground! Scientists have learned a lot from studying these eggs. They were laid about 80 million years ago. If they had hatched, the dinosaur babies would have been about 1. 25 feet long. When full-grown, they would have been 45 feet long. These exciting dinosaur finds inspire people’s interest in Patagonia. Now dinosaur scientists from around the world are hard at work there. Each one hopes to make a great find. Another amazing dinosaur discovery may be just around the corner. 20. What made Patagonia a famous place? A. The finds. B. The history. C. The climate. D. The forests. 21. What was Patagonia like 90 million years ago? A. It seldom rained there. B. It was very cold there. C. Few animals lived there. D. Tall trees grew there. 22. What is the coolest discovery in Patagonia? A. Dinosaur babies. B. The hatching ground. C. Dinosaur skeletons. D. The deadly meat eaters. 23. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Where Dinosaurs Laid Eggs. B. How Dinosaurs Were Found. C. Where Dinosaurs Once Lived. D. How Dinosaurs Disappeared. C If you’ve ever seen a movie at a theatre, you will see advertisements everywhere for one snack. It’s popcorn! But why do we always eat popcorn at the movies? Before the big screen was invented, popcorn was a popular snack sold at carnivals (狂欢节). By the late 1800s, the popcorn making machine came out and it was easier to make popcorn. As a result, this delicious salty snack became super popular. But it wasn’t fancy. So when the first movie theatres opened around 1900, they wanted nothing to do with the cheap popcorn. At that moment, theatres were fancy places designed for the well-educated. This was especially true in the age of silent films. No movie theatre would allow such a loud and messy food into its performances. But all that changed in 1927 when films with sound were invented and movies became cheap and easy pastimes for people rich and poor. From then on, popcorn became the perfect inexpensive food to go with the film. Although accepted by most movie theatres, popcorn was not sold in them, but on the streets. Seeing the popcorn sellers made a good profit from people standing in line for movie tickets, the theatre owners realized they could cut out the middle man and sell popcorn themselves. This happened in the 1930s, and the move made big profits for the movie theatres. Soon the Great Depression hit. People had no money to spend on movies, which almost led the extinction of movie theatres. Only the ones that sold popcorn survived. Thus, popcorn is a reason why movie theatres are still around today. The relationship between popcorn and the movies was really set in stone during World War I was hard to get snacks in movie theatres except popcorn. So popcorn turned out to be a must-have the movie theatre experience. Since then, the price of popcorn has been rising continuously so that movie theatres could stay alive without raising ticket prices. It might be overpriced, but today’s popcorn continues its long and storied history in movie theatres, In fact, it may very well be one of the most influential snacks in pop culture. 24. In the late 1800s, popcorn became popular because of ______________. A. the advertisements B. its sales at carnivals C. popcorn machines D. the movie theatres 25. What probably stopped the first movie theatres accepting popcorn? A. The smell. B. The price. C. The taste. D. The noise. 26. How did the movie theatres survive the Great Depression according to the passage? A. By raising ticket prices. B. By selling popcorn. C. By serving other snacks. D. By working with street sellers. 27 What is the passage mainly about? A. A popular snack at movies. B. A story of movie theatres. C. An invention of theatre owners. D. A good profit from films. D Whether you’re new to working out, or you’ve been hitting the gym for years, you’ve probably heard people talking about DOMS in relation to post-workout muscle (肌肉) pain. DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, which is a term used to describe the muscular aches, stiffness or soreness experienced between 24 and 72 hours after some particularly tough exercise or a new type of exercise that the body is not used to. While DOMS may feel like an injury, it’s actually a normal response to a tough workout. Some experts explain that DOMS is: a sign that muscle fibers have been overloaded to the extent that tiny tears in these fibers have occurred and the surrounding tissues will feel sore, tight, possibly slightly inflamed (发炎的) and you may not be able to go through your full range of movement in a muscle joint. In fact, it means that your muscles are physically changing, rebuilding, and becoming stronger. DOMS can feel slightly different for different people and can present in different areas of the body. There isn’t actually a proven way to cure DOMS. However, there are various methods you can use to reduce the pain. Some studies suggest that drinking water to stay hydrated can help to ease the pain and bring oxygen to the ton muscles to speed up the repair process. A 2005 study in the Journal of Athletic Training showed, that becoming dehydrated during a workout could worsen DOMS. Heat treatment can also help with your DOMS. A 2017 study in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine found that applying “low temperature heat wraps” to the worked muscles immediately after a workout was an effective way to prevent DOMS and that it increased flexibility of tissue and tissue blood flow. The study also found that applying heat 24 hours after the workout was less effective. Massaging (按摩) the sore area can also be very effective. In fact, a 2018 study in the journal Frontiers in Physiology found that it helped relax the sore muscles and reduce DOMS. A tough workout comes with some results. If you find yourself feeling stiff and sore in the days after your workout, you probably have a case of DOMS. And remember, the more you work out, the less you’ll experience DOMS. 28. What is DOMS? A. A physical pain. B. A tough exercise. C. An unhealthy sign. D. A stressful lifestyle. 29. When experiencing DOMS, people may___________________. A. become sleepless B. move slowly C. feel breathless D. lose hearing 30. What does the underlined word “dehydrated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tired. B. Flexible. C. Thirsty. D. Relaxed. 31. What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 4-6? A. The signs of DOMS. B. The reasons behind DOMS. C. The examples of DOMS. D. The ways to reduce DOMS. 第二节(共4小题;每小题2分, 共8分) 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 Wearing masks is widely believed to be a simple but useful method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things.
