In many sports,physical contact is part of the game.But when athletes hit their heads,the hit can cause concussions(脑震荡).
Concussions have long been a concern for professional athletes,but they’ve become more common among young players too.Between and ,the number of kids under 19 visiting doctors for concussions each year increased by 62 percent.
Engineers are developing new helmets(头盔),and new rules are limiting physical contact in some sports.But are these efforts enough to protect kids’ brains?
Concussions can happen during many types of activities.But sports like football and soccer are especially risky.When you run
or jump,your body is moving at an increased speed.A sudden hit causes you to move faster in a different direction.
“It’s like when you’re on a bus and it makes a sudden stop,” says Dr Kevin Crutchfield,an expert at a sports concussion centre in Baltimore,Maryland.“You hit the inside of the bus.”
This hit damages the brain.It affects the way the brain functions.So some sports require athletes to wear helmets.Helmets help reduce the force of a hit.The hard outer shell spreads the force over a larger area.Inside a helmet,a plastic or air-filled lining also helps soften the blow.
Steve Rowson is an engineer at Virginia Tech.In his lab,he tests how helmets hold up against different types of hits.No helmet can prevent concussions completely,says Rowson.But he’s found that when wearing a newer football helmet,the player’s head doesn’t gain speed as much after a hit.That lowers the risk of concussions.
Many youth sports teams have set limits on physical contact to reduce the risk of concussions.In soccer,most concussions happen as a result of headers—shots or passes made with the head.That’s why many people think kids shouldn’t head the ball until high school.
These efforts should help,says Crutchfield.But the best way to prevent long-term brain injuries,he says,is to stop playing immediately if you suffer concussion.“Protect yourself today so you can play again tomorrow.”
24.Concussions among young players .
A.are rare before
B.seem extremely worrying
C.cause kids to lose interest in sports
D.are mostly caused by wearing no helmets

Airbags,now found in almost every vehicle,have saved countless lives and largely reduced the seriousness of injuries in crashes.Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips(髋部) resulting from a fall,something most seniors fear.
Dr Robert Buckman and his start-up company,Active Protective in Allentown,Pennsylvania,has developed a promising solution,a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall.The idea was the result of Dr Buckman’s years as a doctor at Temple University.He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hips due to falls,and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries.He started to ask what he could do for these people,and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were
at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.
The device is worn much like a regular belt,but on the outside of the clothing,and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips.If the device detects that the person is falling,an airbag opens before the person hits the ground,cushioning the fall.When the wearer hits the ground,the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent,enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.
With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year,Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device.It also has the potential to sizably reduce
hip-related health care eong the elderly cost the US health care system $30 billion in ,which doesn’t include th e long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.
28.What is the purpose of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A.To avoid hip injuries among seniors.
B.To protect seniors from car accidents.
C.To help seniors with their daily nursing.
D.To help doctors deal with serious injuries.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“Similartechnologycouldgreatlyreducebrokenhipsresultingfromafa ll,somethingmostseniorsfear.”和第二段中的
“...awearableairbagthatcanprotecthipbonesintheeventofafall.”可知,theActiveProtective’sairbag的目的是避免老年人髋部受伤。

故选A项。

29.What inspired Dr Robert Buckman to make the device?
A.A report on seniors’ health.
B.A serious fall he experienced.
C.His work experiences as a doctor.
D.Suggestions of seniors at Temple University.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“Henoticedhowmanyelderlypeoplewerebeingbroughtintohospitalswit hbrokenhipsduetofalls...whathecoulddoforthesepeople...”可知,当医生时的所见促使DrRobertBuckman制造这个装置。

故选C项。

30.How does the device mainly work?
A.By reducing the effects of falling.
B.By speeding up bone recovery.
C.By predicting road conditions.
D.By preventing people from falling.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。

根据第三段中的“Ifthedevicedetectsthatthepersonisfalling,anairbagopensbeforet hepersonhitstheground...enoughtoavoidthemajorityofhipinjuries.”可知,这个装置在人将要摔倒在地的那一刻,安全气囊自动打开,以减弱身体撞击地面的强度;当穿戴者撞击地面时,安全气囊将髋骨受的冲击力降低了90%,这足以避免大部分的髋部受伤。

故选A项。

31.What does the author think of the Active Protective’s airbag?
A.It still needs improving.
B.It has a promising future.
C.It may encourage seniors to do eay increase America’s expenses on seniors.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“ActiveProtectivehasabigmarketforitswearabledevice.Italsoha sth epotentialtosizablyreducehip-relatedhealthcareexpenses...”可推知,这个装置前景很好。

故选B项。

D
Knowing a little first aid could be life-saving if you see someone lying unconscious.
Too often people don’t do anything because they think they will kill the patient,but by learning simple rules you could make the difference between life and death.
First,you need to find out if they’re unconscious,asleep or drunk,by squeezing the skin between their neck and shoulder and shouting.If there is no response at all,you need to establish if they are dead or just unconscious—sometimes it’s very difficult to tell the difference.
Open the airway by placing one hand on their forehead and gently tilting the head back while lifting the chin.
If there are no signs of life—no obvious pulse and their chest is not going up and down—call an ambulance and then start cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)(心肺复苏) to maintain(维持) a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.
Do this by pushing up and down on the centre of the chest,with your hands interlocked together,constantly until an ambulance arrives.
Push at a rate of 100 beats a minute.You can’t harm them by doing this and might just save a life.
32.People don’t do first aid often because .
A.they are not doctors
B.they think it is dangerous
C.it isn’t their responsibility
D.they are cold-hearted
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。

根据第二段前半句可知,人们不进行急救往往是因为他们认为那样做会使人致死。

33.How can you tell whether the person is dead or just asleep?
A.By squeezing the skin on the arm.
B.By tilting the head back.
C.By placing one hand on their forehead.
D.By shouting to the person.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。

根据第三段第一句可知A项错误,D项正确。

B、C两项是使人呼吸通畅的方法。

34.If the person’s chest is not going up and down,it
shows .
A.the person is dead
B.first aid is not needed
C.you should start CPR
D.an ambulance isn’t necessary
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。

根据第五段的描述可知,一个人如果没有生命迹象,没有明显的脉搏或心跳,要马上叫救护车并实施心肺复苏(CPR)。

故选C项。

35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.First aid for drunk people.
B.First aid for injured people.
C.First aid for unconscious people.
D.First aid for choked people.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Heart disease is the leading cause of disability and death worldwide. 36 With that in mind,if you knew that you could help keep your heart healthy by eating just a little bit less every day—about six standard-size Oreos’ worth of calories—would you?
Researchers have found evidence that just a modest reduction in our daily caloric intake(摄入) could have protective benefits for our hearts.They drew on data from the long term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (ERIE) study.According to the study,the experiment began with 218 participants,all of whom were normal weight or just slightly overweight and between the ages of 21 and 50.Researchers started 143 participants on a diet that reduced their caloric intake by 25%. 37 In the end,188 participants completed the study—117 with caloric restriction and 71 without.Over two years,people in the calorie-cutting group reduced their caloric intake by an average of about 12%.
38 They lost about 16.5 pounds on average and saw improvements,including lowered cholesterol(胆固醇) and blood pressure,on all six primary factors associated with risks to heart health.“We ee improvement on cardiometabolic (心血管代谢)
factors,” says William Kraus,the study’s lead
author.“39 ”
Though the weight loss was relatively impressive,it wasn’t responsible for a majority of the heart benefits.After conducting further analysis,researchers determined that caloric restriction can have health benefits above and beyond those normally associated with weight loss. 40
A.We need to do exercise to benefit heart.
B.The others were assigned to a normal diet.
C.It can hold back negative effects of aging.
D.But we didn’t eprovement we saw.
E.About 2,200 people in the USA die per day due to heart problems.
F.The eparing two different groups.
G.This reduction in calories had significant effects on the participants who ate less.

(新高考Ⅰ卷)
It was the day of the big cross-country run.Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线) through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David,who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence.He was small for ten years old.His usual big toothy smile was absent today.I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children.He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong?He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and aske d him what had happened.“I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he efortably.“I gave him the choice to run or not,and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼).I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.After making sure that David
could run if he wanted,I turned to find him coming towards me,his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children,but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing.That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team.It just took him longer—that’s all.David had not missed a single practice,and although he always finished his run long after the other children,he did always finish.As a special education teacher at the school,I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
