A
There is little doubt that humans used herbs (药草) for healing well before anything could be written about them.
Many authorities recognize Hippocrates as the “father of medicine” for the European tradition.The treatment of the Hippocratic physician reflected his fundamental approach.It was the treatment of an individual, not a disease, and the treatment of the whole body, not any part of it.Treatment was based on the fundamental idea that nature had a strong healing force of its own, and that the main role of the physician was to assist nature in this healing process, rather than to direct it.The main ally of the physician in assisting nature in this process was diet.Only if diet were drugs used, and surgery was a last resort.
The great philosopher Aristotle was the son of a medical man and a medical man himself, but his main influence on the development of European medicine was through his student, Theophrastus, called the “father of botany (植物学)”.He was the first known author in Europe of a classification system for plants with accompanying comments about their medicinal value.He described about 450 different medicinal plants.However, this text has not come down through history, and is only noted in later commentaries.
The first document of herbal medicine that is regarded as a medical classic in the European tradition was De Materia Medica by Dioscorides.Dioscorides was a surgeon accompanying the army.He travelled far, collected much information, and gained considerable medical experience.Dioscorides had recorded herb knowledge for 600 plants.The book's pictures were considered the only authoritative ones for European medicinal plants for over 1,000 years.The work was translated into English in 1655, and continued to be the primary reference on European herbs.
Greek medicine continued to improve for several decades after Dioscorides, but it eventually began to stagnate .
1.The treatment of the Hippocratic physician ________ .
A.usually didn't function well
B.was based on the healing power of nature
C.tended to replace diet with drugs
D.relied heavily on surgery
2.What can we learn about Theophrastus from the passage?
A.He was a student of Hippocrates.
B.He is known as the “father of medicine”.
C.He used a system to classify plants.
D.He wrote a text that was proved wrong by later generations.
3.According to the passage, De Materia Medica by Dioscorides ________ .
A.has not come down through history
B.recorded about 450 different medicinal plants
C.was originally written in English
D.promoted the development of European medicine
4.The underlined word “stagnate” in the last paragraph probably means “ ________ ”.
A.stop developing
B.keep growing
C.enjoy fame
D.reduce expenses

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says.According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
5.Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A.They must run long distances.
B.They are qualified for the marathon.
C.They have to follow special rules.
D.They are good at swinging their legs.
6.What advantage does race walking have over running?
A.It's more popular at the Olympics.
B.It's less challenging physically.
C.It's more effective in body building.
D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
7.What is Dr. Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A.Getting experts' opinions.
B.Having a medical checkup.
C.Hiring an experienced coach.
D.Doing regular exercises.
8.Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A.Skeptical. B.Objective.
C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了竞走相比跑步的优势以及从事这项运动的注意点。
5.C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times.”可知,这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直,一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知,竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员,是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C。]
6.D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers.”可知,一些与跑步有关的损伤,比如跑步者的膝盖损伤,在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知,竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D。]
7.A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Dr.Norberg说的话“In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique”可知,Dr. Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A。]
8.B [观点态度题。根据第一段内容可知,研究表明,竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处,而且它还很少导致受伤。不过,它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人体残疾的相关知识。
