一、阅读理解
Passage 1
The concept of Tunner's high"-that euphoric feeling some athletes get after a long run-has long
been a subject of debate among scientists.For years,the dominant theory was that the brain's own
morphine-like substances,called endorphins,were responsible.It was believed that physical exertion
caused the release ofendorphins,which then attached to opiate receptors in the brain,reducing pain and
generating a feeling of well-being.This made intuitive sense,as endorphins are known to be released in
response to stress or pain,and running is certainly a stressful physical activity.
However,a more recent and compelling hypothesis has emerged,challenging the endorphin theory.The
problem with the endorphin theory is that endorphins are too large to cross the blood-brain barier
effectively,meaning they likely cannot enter the brain in sufficient quantities to produce the euphoric
effects attributed to "unner's high."Instead,scientists now suggest that endocannabinoids-naturally
produced chemicals that are similar to the active compound in marijuana,THC-are the key players
Unlike endorphins,endocannabinoids are small enough to pass through the blood-brain barier without
difficulty.When a person runs or engages in other forms of sustained,moderate-to-vigorous exercise,the
body produces more of these molecules.Once in the brain,they bind to cannabinoid receptors,which are
involved in regulating mood,appetite,pain sensation,and memory.This binding action is what produces
the feelings of calm,reduced anxiety,and mild euphoria often reported by long-distance runners.
A landmark study from Germany in 2015 provided strong evidence for this.Researchers took blood
samples from runners both before and after a two-hour run.They measured levels of both endorphins and
endocannabinoids.The results were striking:while endorphin levels increased only slightly,
endocannabinoid levels increased significantly-in some cases,by over 100 percent.Furthermore,the
runners reported feeling more euphoric and less anxious after the run,a state that comrelated much more
closely with the surge in endocannabinoids than with endorphins.
This doesn't mean that the endorphin theory is completely wrong.Endorphins do play a role in dilating
blood vessels and reducing the perception of pain during exercise,which is why you might feel less
discomfort during a run.However,for the specific,mood-altering "high"that motivates many to keep
pounding the pavement,science now points to the quiet,potent influence of the endocannabinoid system.
So,the next time you feel that blissful calm after a long run,you might be experiencing a gentle buzz
from nature's own version of cannabis.
()1.What was the traditional scientific explanation for "unner's high'?
A.The body produces a chemical similar to marijuana.
B.The brain releases a substance that makes the runner feel good.
C.The runner's muscle pain triggers a positive emotional response
D.The lack of oxygen to the brain causes a state of confusion.
()2.Why did scientists begin to question the endorphin theory?
A.Endorphins are not produced during short runs.
B.Endorphins cannot easily reach the brain from the bloodstream.
C.The level of endorphins in the blood was too low to measure.
D.Endorphins are primarily associated with pain,not pleasure.
()3.The word"euphoric"in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to:
A.intensely happy.
B.extremely tired.
C.slightly dizzy.
D.incredibly focused.
()4.What is the main finding of the 2015 German study mentioned in the passage?
A.Runners who feel a"high"have more endorphins.
B.Endocannabinoids are more effective than painkillers for runners.
C.A significant increase in a chemical comrelated with the feeling of high".
D.The longer the run,the higher the level ofendorphins.
()5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the role of endorphins?
A.They are the primary cause of the euphoric feeling
B.They are used by the body to treat muscle injuries.
C.They help make exercise more comfortable
D.They are completely replaced by endocannabinoids
Passage 2
For the uninitiated,it might seem like a peculiar or even dishonest practice."Tanking'in professional
sports refers to the deliberate act of losing games in order to secure a higher draft pick for the following
season.The logic is rooted in the league's design:the worst-performing teams are given the first choice of
the best new players entering the league.If a team believes it cannot compete for a championship in the
current season,its management might reason that losing is more beneficial in the long run than winning
just enough to miss the playoffs and get a mediocre draft selection.
The strategy is controversial,to say the least.For fans,it is a betrayal of the fundamental spirit of
competition.They pay for tickets,invest their emotions,and expect their team to try its best to win every
single game.When a team appears to be fielding a weaker lineup or making questionable coaching
decisions that lead to losses,it breeds cynicism and anger.It undermines the integrity of the game,turning
contests into a race to the bottom.
However,from a purely business and strategic perspective,tanking can be a rational,if ruthless,decision
A franchise in "purgatory"-too good for a top draft pick but too bad to win a championship-can be
stuck in mediocrity for years.A top draft pick,like a LeBron James or a Tim Duncan,can single-
handedly transform a franchise's fortunes.For a team without any other clear path to superstardom,the
potential payoff of a three-year rebuilding plan centered around a high draft pick can be enormous.It is a
calculated bet on the future.
The ethical implications are further complicated by the players and coaches,whose careers depend on
performance.A player playing for a new contract has no incentive to lose;their future eamnings are tied to
their statistics and their team's wins.A coach's job security is directly related to their win-loss record.The
decision to tank is almost always made at the front office level,by general managers and owners,who
may instruct the coach to rest star players or experiment with young,inexperienced athletes.This creates a
rift between the short-term goals of the players and the long-term strategy of the organization.
Ultimately,the effectiveness of tanking is a matter of debate.There is no guarantee that a top pick will
become a superstar,and a culture of losing can be difficult to reverse.The Philadelphia 76ers'famous
"Process"-a multi-year,intentional tanking strategy-resulted in several seasons of abysmal records
and a loyal but frustrated fanbase,before it eventually yielded a talented core of players.Whether the
success was worth the years ofhumiliation is a question that each fan and franchise must answer for
themselves.The debate over tanking highlights a fundamental tension in sports:the conflict between the
desire to win every game and the strategic planning required to build a lasting champion.
()1.What is the primary goal of"tanking"in professional sports?
A.To give fans a more exciting experience.
B.To save money on player salaries.
C.To get the best chance at a promising new player.
D.To develop the skills of the team's second-string players.
()2.According to the passage,which group is most likely to be opposed to the practice of tanking?
A.The team's general manager
B.The team's fans.
C.The team's owners.
D.The team's future draft picks.
()3.The phrase"a race to the bottom"in paragraph 2 suggests that tanking causes teams to:
A.compete to see who can improve the fastest
B.try to lose more games than other teams
C.race to be the last team in the league standings.
D.spend the least amount of money on their roster.
()4.What conflict does tanking create,according to the passage?
A.Between the older players and the younger players on the team.
B.Between the fans'desire for a championship and the players'desire for money.
C.Between the long-term goals of management and the short-term goals of players
D.Between the need to win now and the need to build a strong defense
()5.What can be inferred about the Philadelphia 76ers'"Process'?
A.It was a complete failure with no positive results
B.It showed that tanking is the only way to succeed
C.It was a successful strategy,but came at a significant cost.
D.It is a model that all other teams should follow without hesitation.

Her coach,a man named Mr.Garcia,saw her potential but also recognized her inner conflict.One day,
after she had dropped out of a 5K race halfway,he didn't offer comfort.Instead,he gave her a challenge.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
In the world ofelite sports,the margins between victory and defeat are often measured in hundredths of a
second.But what separates a champion from a contender is frequently not just physical prowess,but an
invisible force:mental toughness.Dr.Jim Loehr,a performance psychologist who has worked with top
athletes across numerous sports,defines mental toughness as the ability to perform to one's potential
consistently,regardless of the circumstances.It is not about being emotionless or robotic,rather,it is about
managing one's emotions,thoughts,and behaviors to stay focused on the task at hand.
The concept is comprised of several key components.The first is self-belief an unshakeable confidence
in one's ability to achieve goals.This is not mere arrogance,but a deep-seated conviction forged through
hard work and past successes.The second is motivation.Mentally tough athletes are intinsically driven,
they possess a buming desire to improve and a passion for their sport that transcends external rewards like
money or fame.A third pillar is focus.This involves the ability to block out distractions-be it a hostile
crowd,a previous bad play,or the pressure of the moment-and zero in on the process of execution,not
the outcome.
Resilience,or the ability to bounce back from setbacks,is perhaps the most visible sign of mental
toughness.Every athlete faces failure:missed shots,lost games,and crushing injuries.The mentally tough
do not dwell on these disappointments.They view them as valuable feedback,leaming opportunities that
make them stronger.They are able to quickly reframe a loss as a lesson,a mistake as a part of the joumney.
This is closely tied to the concept of composure under pressure."In high-stakes situations,some athletes
choke,their heart races,their thinking gets cloudy,and their performance declines.A mentally tough
athlete,on the other hand,actually thrives on this pressure.They interpret the adrenaline rush not as a sign
of anxiety,but as a signal that they are ready to perform.
Fortunately,mental toughness is not a fixed trait one is born with.It can be developed and strengthened
like a muscle through deliberate practice.Techniques such as visualization,goal-setting,positive self-talk
and controlled breathing are all tools that can help an athlete cultivate this vital skill.By learning to
control their inner world,athletes can unlock their full physical potential and find a competitive edge that
goes far beyond raw talent.Ultimately,the battle for victory is often won and lost long before the starting
gun is fired,within the quiet,unyielding arena of the mind.

Dear Peter,
I'm sory to hear that you're struggling to keep up your running routine.It's completely nommal to feel like
quitting,especially at the beginning.Don't be too hard on yourself!
Here are a few tips that might help.First,start small.Don't aim to run for an hour on your first day.A 15-
minute run is a great start.When you feel like stopping halfway,remind yourself that the hardest part is
getting out the door.Second,focus on the positive feelings after a run,not the discomfort during it.You
can also bounce back from a bad day by setting a small,fun goal,like running to a new park.
