填空题Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41- 45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) You don't have to convince Steve Backley of the power of the mind over the body. When the British javelin thrower, who won bronze in Barcelona in 1992 and silver in Atlanta in 1996, was unable to walk (let alone train ) after spraining his ankle a few years ago, he worked out in a "mental gym". Sitting in a chair, he imagined himself throwing the javelin in every one of the world's major track-and-field stadiums, until he had racked up about a thousand hurls. 41.______ Whether it is golfer Earl Woods teaching his son Tiger to form a mental image of the ball's rolling into the hole, or Olympic weight-lifter Tara Nott's training her brain to block out distractions, a strong mental game has always been part of elite sports. Michael Jordan, Nancy Kerrigan and Jack Nicklaus all practiced their moves mentally; Jean-Claude Killy used to ski a slalom course in his head many times before exploding out of the starting gate. "Everybody is pretty much at the same level physically," says American diver Michelle Davison, "[ The difference comes down to] who can hold it together mentally. " 42. ______ While coaches and trainers have long emphasized the importance of the mental game, exactly how the mind affects the body's performance has always been a bit of a mystery, with buzzwords like "in the zone" and "mental imagery" carrying a vague whiff of quackery. 43. ______ "Mental practice can actually increase real-world strength and performance," says neuroscientist Ian Robertson of Trinity College Dublin, who describes the power of mental workouts in his engaging new book, Mind Sculpture. "Pumping virtual iron physically changes the brain—and the brain, after all, controls the body. " 44. ______ Imagine, in your mind's eye, a harp in all its graceful detail; the same region of your visual cortex just turned on as if you actually looked at the instrument. But what matters to athletes is that, just as visual imagery activates the brain's visual cortex, so imagining movement activates the motor cortex, notes Harvard University's Stephen Kosslyn, who has done pioneering research on imagery. Imagine tensing and relaxing the muscles of your right index finger, but without actually moving. Were you to do this for several minutes every day for four weeks, at the end of the period the strength of that finger would increase by 20% or so, as researchers found in 1992 when they had volunteers follow this mental regimen. Nothing changed in the finger muscles themselves as a result of the imagery. 45. ______ That's probably why imaging is such a powerful, and popular, mental workout for athletes.[A] The reason is that visualization activates many of the same neural circuits that actually seeing does.[B] The same process likely occurred in Backley's brain as he mentally hurled the javelin. "Through mental practice, [he] kept stimulating the networks of connected neurons where his skill was embroidered," Robertson writes.[C] He returned to competition a few weeks later making his top distances; usually, losing weeks of throwing practice will set you back inches—and in sports of course, inches might as well be miles.[D] Instead connections between nerves and the muscles they control, in a circuit starting in the motor cortex of the brain, got stronger. "The improvements in strength were caused by changes in the brain," says Robertson.[E] But just as physicians are showing that something as inchoate as a positive outlook can affect something as real as the progress of breast cancer, so scientists are uncovering how mental imagery and other tricks of the athlete's trade affect the real, physical brain and hence the body.[F] That lesson has not been lost on the U. S. Olympic Committee. It had one full-time sports psychologist in 1988. Today it has five.[G] A 1995 study in Boston compared the brain regions of people who physically practiced a five- finger piano exercise with people who mentally practiced it. In both groups the area of the brain devoted to moving the fingers got bigger and accuracy improved.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}In the following text, some sentences have been removed. Choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life-and less time talking about the weather? {{U}} 1 {{/U}}______. "We found this so interesting, because it could have gone the other way-it could have been, 'Don't worry, be happy'—as long as you surf on the shallow level of life you're happy, and if you go into the existential depths you'll be unhappy," Dr. Mehl said. {{U}} 2 {{/U}}______. "By engaging in meaningful conversations, we manage to impose meaning on an otherwise pretty chaotic world, " Dr. Mehl said. "And interpersonally, as you find this meaning, you bond with your interactive partner, and we know that interpersonal connection and integration is a core fundamental foundation of happiness." Dr. Mehl's study was small and doesn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship between the kind of conversations one has and one's happiness. {{U}} 3 {{/U}}______. The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, involved 79 college students-32 men and 47 women-who agreed to wear an electronically activated recorder with a microphone on their lapel that recorded 30-second snippets of conversation every 12.5 minutes for four days, creating what Dr. Mehl called "an audio diary of their day." {{U}} 4 {{/U}}______. A conversation about a TV show wasn't always considered small talk; it could be categorized as substantive if the speakers analyzed the characters and their motivations, for example. Many conversations were more practical and did not fit in either category, including questions about homework or who was taking out the trash, for example, Dr. Mehl said. Over all, about a third of all conversation was ranked as substantive, and about a fifth consisted of small talk. But the happiest person in the study, based on self-reports about satisfaction with life and other happiness measures as well as reports from people who knew the subject, had twice as many substantive conversations, and only one-third of the amount of small talk as the unhappiest, Dr. Mehl said. Almost every other conversation the happiest person had-45.9 percent of the day's conversations— were substantive, while only 21.8 percent of the unhappiest person's conversations were substantive. {{U}} 5 {{/U}}______. Next, Dr. Mehl wants to see if people can actually make themselves happier by having more substantive conversations. "It's not that easy, like taking a pill once a day," Dr. Mehl said. "But this has always intrigued me. Can we make people happier by asking them, for the next five days, to have one extra substantive conversation every day?" A. It may sound unreasonable, but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time engaging in small talk seem to be happier, said Matthias Mehl, a psychologist at the University of Arizona. B. Just try having a substantive conversation in a group of moms...absolutely impossible. No matter what topic you start off with, the subject of the discussion invariably moves back to their kids. C. People who feel the most intensely will likely fall into the more extreme categories such as very happy or very sad, and the questionnaire likely attracted participants who were more in the "very happy" phase of their life because the very sad people are non-participants. D. Researchers then went through the tapes and classified the conversations as either small talk about the weather or having watched a TV show, and more substantive talk about current affairs, philosophy, the difference between Baptists and Catholics or the role of education. E. But, he proposed, substantive conversation seemed to hold the key to happiness for two main reasons. both because human beings are driven to find and create meaning in their lives, and because we are social animals who want and need to connect with other people. F. But that's the planned next step, when he will ask people to increase the number of substantive conversations they have each day and cut back on small talk, and vice versa. G. Small talk made up only 10 percent of the happiest person's conversations, while it made up almost three times as much-or 28.3 percent-of the unhappiest person's conversations.

填空题But let no one think that pleasure is immoral. Pleasure in itself is a great good, all pleasure, but its consequences may be such that the sensible person eschews certain varieties of it. Nor need pleasure be gross and sensual. They are wise in their generation who have discovered that intellectual pleasure is the most satisfying and the most enduring. It is well to acquire the habit of reading. There are few sports in which you can engage to your own satisfaction after you have passed the prime of life: there are no games except patience, chess problems and crossword puzzles that you can play without someone to play them with you. Reading suffers from no such disadvantages: there is no occupation—except perhaps needle-work, but that leaves the restless spirit at liberty—which you can more easily take up at any moment, for any period, and more easily put aside when other calls press upon you: there is no other amusement that can be obtained in these happy days of public libraries and cheap editions at so small a cost. To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.
