That's not to say it's easy, however, “we've had Olympiclevel athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing the movements for two hours，” says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland.“When we're done, they're absolutely tired.”‎ It doesn't work for everyone, though.“If you're a novice,_the effect can be harmful，” warns Macintyre.“If you're trying to visualize a free throw, and you don't even know the proper movement, then you're probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.” ‎ 语篇解读：研究发现运动员的精神训练法能训练运动员的肌肉反应，在头脑中形成自己的反应模式，能促进一个运动员的技能水平的提高，但此法不适用于新手。‎ ‎5．The author introduces the topic of the text by ______.‎ A．giving an example B．presenting an argument C．explaining a phenomenon D．making an assumption 解析：选A　推理判断题。文章第一段用美国橄榄球运动员Carson Palmer受伤在家，但是坚持精神训练的例子来引出运动员通过精神训练法也能促进或保持运动员的竞技水平这个话题。故答案选A。‎ ‎6．What happens when one is visualizing an action?‎ A．A special skill is quickly acquired.‎ B．A certain model is formed in the head.‎ C．The muscles grow increasingly tense.‎ D．The brain sends strong messages to the body.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段“In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner howto guide for a particular skill.”，精神训练法也会训练运动员的肌肉反应，创建你头脑的反应模式。故答案选B。‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word “novice” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A．Coach. B．Specialist.‎ C．Beginner. D．Judge.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据最后一段“don't even know the proper movement”可知，novice指不知道运动的正确姿势和动作，对该运动不是很熟悉的人，由此可以知道该词是初学者、新手的意思。故答案选C。‎ ‎8．What is the main idea of the text?‎ A．Athletes are likely to win games through imagined practice.‎ B．Practicing a skill properly in mind can produce intended effect.‎ C．Practice whether mental or physical has its own characteristics.‎ D．Scientists have found a safe way for athletes to practice their skills.‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。本文用一个著名运动员的例子来引出话题，运动员用运动的精神训练法在某种程度上也能跟身体训练一样，达到促进运动技能的效果。故答案选B。‎ C Studies have shown a direct link between goals and improved performance in both sports and business.Earl Nightingale put it this way, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.It's as simple as that.”‎ Dr.Maxwell Maltz, author of the classic PsychoCybernetics, said that human beings have a builtin goal seeking “success mechanism (机制)” that is part of the subconscious (潜意识的) mind.This success mechanism is constantly searching for ways to help us reach our targets and find answers to our problems.According to Maltz, we feel better when our success mechanism keeps going after clear targets.All we have to do to use this mechanism is give it a target.‎ One important reason goal setters achieve such outstanding results is that they have learned how to focus and concentrate their time, energy and resources (资源) on a single goal, even though it is just for a few hours at a time.One major time management challenge we are facing today is that there are more things available for us to do than anyone could possibly attempt, let alone accomplish, in an entire lifetime.If we are not careful, it is very easy to waste our time on unimportant things.‎ Most significant accomplishments are accompanied with difficulties, struggles and failures.Thomas Edison failed over one thousand times before he finally discovered a way to make the light bulb work.It is very rare for something important to be accomplished successfully on the very first try.If you want to achieve anything significant, it is likely that you will struggle and fail many times before you finally reach your target.One of the main reasons why people give up so easily in the face of failure is that they lose sight of their ‎ “why”．Goals can help you remember your “big why” when you need to pick yourself up and keep going in the face of difficult situations.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。要想成功，我们要树立目标，并全身心地投入到这一件事情上，心中有目标就不会轻言放弃。‎ ‎9．What can we learn from Earl Nightingale's and Dr.Maxwell Maltz's words?‎ A．It's important to succeed in life.‎ B．It's extremely easy to achieve aims.‎ C．It's greatly significant to set goals.‎ D．It's common to make accomplishments.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章前两段的内容可知，Earl Nightingale和Dr.Maxwell Maltz所说的话都表明了设立目标的重要性，心中有目标才能成功。‎ ‎10．What's important in achieving success according to Paragraph 3?‎ A．Setting a realistic target.‎ B．Concentrating on your aim.‎ C．Managing your time properly.‎ D．Making the most of your resources.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“One important reason goal setters achieve ...a few hours at a time.”可知，集中所有精力于你的目标上，就会有一个好的结果。‎ ‎11．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?‎ A．Goals can prevent us giving up easily.‎ B．Goals mean achieving more than others.‎ C．Goals get rid of doubts about what we do.‎ D．Goals lead to more difficulties or failures.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“One of the main reasons why people give up so easily in the face of failure is that they lose sight of their ‘why’．”可知，树立目标可以防止我们轻易放弃。‎ ‎12．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．How to set goals?‎ B．How can we succeed?‎ C．Why should we set goals?‎ D．Why should we keep going?‎ 解析：选C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章论述了设立目标的重要性以及益处，告诉我们为什么要树立目标，故C项为最佳标题。‎ D ‎(2019·稽阳联考)With their pipes and lids to avoid spills, coffee cups have long been the substitute for adults. Now Starbucks is going all in on the concept by swearing to get rid of straws by 2020 — and it's all for a very good reason. This move is an answer to our own partners about what we can do to reduce the need for straws. Not using a straw is the best thing we can do for the environment.‎ In place of plastic straws, Starbucks plans to offer recyclable lids for all iced drinks and paper straws for coffee. The transition is already taking place in Starbucks' hometown of Seattle, where a ban on plastic straws went into place on July 1. By rolling this out in all 28,000 of their stores by 2020, the company says they are annually removing more than one billion straws from going into circulation — and potentially the ocean.‎ Starbucks' decision to gradually stop using singleuse plastic straws is a shining example of the important role that companies can play in stopping the tide of ocean plastic. With eight million metric tons of plastic entering the ocean every year, we cannot afford to let industry sit on the sidelines. Marine life has a 50% death rate when it swallows plastic — yet researchers believe there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by the year 2050 if this rate of litter continues. That means there can be an immediate positive impact if we swap plastic straws for environmentally friendly alternatives.‎ The smart design on the cup for cold drinks comes from Starbucks' inhouse team of designers and has been in development for two years. However, the announcement comes as outcry (倒彩) increases over the dangers that plastic straws can cause to marine life. Other companies making the ecofriendly swap also announced plans last month to test alternatives to plastic straws.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Starbucks提出不使用塑料吸管来减少白色污染，保护地球的概念。‎ ‎13．Why does Starbucks decide to get rid of plastic straws?‎ A．To reduce its cost.‎ B．To meet the customers' needs.‎ C．To create a greener planet.‎ D．To expand its business worldwide.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Not using a straw is the best thing we can do for the environment.”可知答案为C。‎ ‎14．What does the word “transition” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ ‎ A．Dilemma. B．Change.‎ C．Response. D．Conflict.‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句可知，这种变化已经在Starbucks的诞生地发生，故B项正确。‎ ‎15．What's the text mainly about?‎ A．Starbucks is throwing away plastic straws for a worthy cause.‎ B．Environmentally friendly material will replace plastic straws.‎ C．Scientists are making efforts to solve ocean plastic pollution.‎ D．A sales promotion of a new brand by Starbucks is being done.‎ 解析：选A　主旨大意题。本文讲述了Starbucks提出不使用塑料吸管来减少白色污染，保护地球的概念。故A项为最佳答案。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. __1__ It was esports, or competitive computer gaming.‎ Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun.
