Many students feel terribly sore in their legs the day after long-distance running.Most people just take it
for granted and rest for a few days.Few of us stop to think carefully about the real reason behind the pain,and
11 anyone connects this uncomfortable feeling with our body chemistry.
Our PE teachers often advise us to 12 our old ideas.The muscle soreness is not caused by tiredness
alone.It mainly comes from lactic acid()that builds up little by little inside our muscles during hard
exercise.
I didn't believe this scientific explanation at first 13 I always thought sharp pain only meant I had
overtrained my body.Later,we did a small experiment in class.After we finished a 800-meter run,14 could
find clear evidence of lactic acid in our muscle samples.
I soon realized the problem was not as15 as I used to believe.I stopped training blindly and learned to
slow down properly.I began to 16 my tramning plan step by step,leaving enough time for my muscles to
recover.Soon the sharp pain in my legs completely 17.
It turned out that understanding body science is a better18 than blind practice.With proper scientific
training,our running group became one of the19 training teams in the whole grade.
At the very 20,I never knew that sports needed knowledge as well as hard efforts.

第二部分阅读理解(共三节,满分30分)
第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)
根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)误()。
China has changed a lot in the years since I first moved here.One of the developments is cashless
payment(无现金支付),which has changed the way we live and shop.
2
China is not exactly the first country to have cashless payments.I used a debit card (to pay for
things without cash for years in the US.But now that I can use my phone instead,it's very easy and convenient.
One of the things I like most is that I can send and receive money directly to and from my friends.This makes it
so much easier to share the bill when we eat out together.
But like all technology,cashiess payments have some problems as well.What happens if your phone gets
lost or stolen?There are also times when your phone's mobile Internet connection,or the store's Internet
connection,might not work.Not long ago,I went to a nearby convenience store to buy some snacks.But when
I got there,I found that the store's cashless payments didn't work and they could only accept cash.I didn't have
any cash with me,so I had to give up and leave without any snacks.
So even though cashless payments are convenient,you should always carry a bit of cash in order to avoid
any possible inconvenience.
21.Cashless payments have changed the way the Chinese people live and shop.
22.Cashless payments in China are only done with debit cards.
23.Cashless payments can always work anywhere in China.
24.The writer couldn't buy any snacks,because he didn't have any cash.
25.The text is mainly about the history of cashless payment in China.
