课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·湖南长沙期中)For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who've never heard of pickleball, the little-known paddleball game is one of America's fastest-growing sports.
Invented in 1965 by three middle-aged fathers in Washington State,pickleball is an odd cross among tennis, ping-pong and badminton, played with a paddle and a perforated (穿孔的) plastic ball. The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.
Most of pickleball's core players—those who play more than eight times per year—are over age 65, but the game is getting younger, with the strongest growth among players under 55, according to USA Pickleball. But with so many new players, the US is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts. The country has only about 10,000 places to play, by USA Pickleball's count, but that continues to grow by several dozen every month.
Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport (观赏性体育运动). Its first professional tournament, the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour, was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights. Traditional broadcasters' interest in the sport is growing. So far, pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels, mostly online.
“The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented (前所未有的),” says Ben Shields, who lectures at MIT Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry. Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences, who has been the key to success for other sports leagues—that also started with grassroots and unusual names. “I think if pickleball, in its own humble way, can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product, who knows, 10 or 20 years later, it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.”

(2024·河北石家庄教学质检二)When it comes to lowering blood pressure,studies have typically shown that aerobic (有氧的) exercises are best.Recent research suggests another type of physical activity is worth including as an effective tool to prevent and treat high blood pressure.
Exercises that engage muscles without movement,such as wall squats and planks,may be best for lowering blood pressure,according to a large study published in July 2023 in British Journal of Sports Medicine.
This type of training is known as isometric exercises,according to the Mayo Clinic.Isometric muscle action happens when muscles contract but do not visibly change length,and the joints involved don't move,facilitating stability of the body.Isometric exercises can be done with weights or without,just relying on the body's own weight.
“These findings provide a comprehensive data-driven framework to support the development of new exercise guideline recommendations for the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure,” said study co-author Dr.Jamie O'Driscoll in a news release.
The researchers looked into randomized controlled trials that had reported the effects of exercise interventions,lasting two or more weeks,on blood pressure between 1990 and February 2023.From a review of 270 trials with 15,827 participants,the researchers found that among HIIT (high intensity interval training),isometric exercises,aerobic exercises,dynamic resistance training and a combination of the latter two,isometric exercises led to the greatest reductions in blood pressure.
It's also important to note that there are other lifestyle changes as well as exercise that can benefit your blood pressure.These include keeping to a healthy weight,eating a balanced diet,cutting down on salt,not drinking too much alcohol and ensuring that you continue to take any prescribed medication.
More research is needed to determine exactly why isometric exercises might be better for lowering blood pressure than other types of training,the authors said.

解析:词义猜测题。根据画线部分后的“muscles contract but do not visibly change length,and the joints involved don't move,facilitating stability of the body”可知,等长运动指的是肌肉收缩但长度没有明显变化,并且所涉及的关节不移动,从而促进身体的稳定性,也就是说等长运动指的是身体不动但锻炼肌肉的锻炼,故选D。

But,as soon as Steve 10 the finish line,his life-saving help was needed once more.A man named Michael began to feel 11 after crossing the finish line.Then,just like Gregory,he fell down.The 12 of this entire situation is truly remarkable.Had Steve not 13 to help Gregory,he would have crossed the finish line much sooner than Michael, 14 he wouldn't have been around to save him,too.
This happened last year,but all three men have stayed in
15 .They even ran together in the very same half-marathon this year!
