3 . Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run.    1    

Many people say running in winter can be difficult. One reason is the low temperature.     2     Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration（脱水）levels are lower than in warmer conditions.    3    

This information comes from John Brewer, who is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University. For this study，he and other researchers put a group of people into a special room. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room.     4     Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.

He says that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Wear gloves on your hands.     5     And especially, wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin.

A．The other reason is the bitter winds.

B．We have good reasons to run in winter.

C．Wear shoes that will keep you from falling.

D．Don’t be nervous when you run in cold weather.

E．The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.

F．In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.

G．The test subjects were asked to run 10, 000 meters under both conditions each.

6 . In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some hold an optimistic attitude. They value it highly,believing that it is a natural result of social progress and prosperity(繁荣) and that anyone who wants to he outstanding has to keep up with the pace. Others think otherwise. They say that competition is bad,that it sets one person against another and that it leads to the unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who hold the belief that their self-worth depends on how well they perform at tennis and other skills. For them,playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit（追求) of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However ,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others have an opposite opinion. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. They have no choice. Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying,they always have an excuse： “I may have lost,but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. “ What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they really try and lose,that will mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs compared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(消除) can we discover a new meaning of competition.

1. What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．Competition helps to set up self-respect.

B．Opinions about competition are different among people.

C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D．Failure is a necessary experience in competition.

2. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means __________.

A．those who try their best to win

B．those who value competition most highly

C．those who are against competition most strongly

D．those who rely on others most for success

3. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?

A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B．One's success in competition needs great efforts.

C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried.

4. Which point of view may the author agree with?

A．Every effort should be paid back.

B．Competition should be encouraged.

C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

9 . History has been made at the 2015 FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia, as men competed in synchronized swimming(花样游泳) for the first time .

There was nothing in the world that could prevent July 26, 2015 from being the best day in Bill May’s life. The 36-year-old American synchronized swimmer became the first male world champion in mixed synchronized swimming.

“It’s something that I have dreamed of my entire life,” said May. His partner Christina Jones believed “this is the future of synchronized swimming”.

Synchronized swimming has been an Olympic sport since 1984, but only as an event for women. Nevertheless, men kept training in the hope that a chance might come for them to compete at the top international level, at the Olympics or the World Championships.

“Men’s choreography(舞蹈编排) is different from women’s. It is a completely different style. In a mixed duet(混双项目) the man should personify strength and power The woman, on the contrary, beauty and grace,” Russian male synchronized swimmer Alexander Maltsev said.

However, some people still believe that synchronized swimming should be a sport purely for women. Although men are stronger, they are less flexible so it is harder to get the necessary extension in: the legs. Buoyancy(浮力) is also an issue. The sport is very difficult for men in general, because men don’t actually float like women.

As times have changed, women now can compete in every category of sport at the Olympics, but there still remain two that are closed off to men-synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics(艺术体操).

Some see FINA’s change as a sign that the International Olympic Committee(IOC)may also be ready to include mixed duets soon. Nevertheless, the IOC says that it will only consider adopting male synchronized swimming after a formal request from FINA and no such request has ever been made.

It may take many years for the IOC to open the door to male synchronized swimming but if and when it does, one thing is certain. “If synchronized swimming went to the Olympics, I would definitely be there to compete,” said Bill May, “even if I am 85. ”

1. According to the passage, Bill May dreamt of _______.

A．being the first male champion swimmer at the Olympic Games

B．being a professional synchronized swimmer and defeating other competitors

C．having a partner who could help him win the championship at the top international- level

D．competing in a world championship of synchronized swimming as a male athlete

2. Male synchronized swimmers held the hope that they might have a chance to compete at the top international level one day, so _______.

A．they never gave up training

B．they kept appealing to the Olympic committee

C．they made synchronized swimming known to more people

D．they tried to gain support from the female swimmers

3. Synchronized swimming is not easy for men, due to their comparatively poor _______.
①flexibility       ②judgement        ③floatability       ④strength

A．①②	B．①③
C．②③	D．③④

4. What is the reason why IOC hasn’t taken adopting male synchronized swimming into account yet？

A．FINA hasn’t made the formal request

B．Male synchronized swimmers are not fully prepared

C．Female synchronized swimmers are strongly against it

D．Rhythmic gymnastics hasn’t been adopted
