23、The music is on. The figure skater（花滑运动员）jumps and spins（旋转）. One turn, two turns, three turns—it seems they never get dizzy no matter how many times they spin. Why?

People often feel dizzy and lose balance（平衡）after spinning around. This is because when we move our head during a spin, our eyes start to move in the opposite direction. They reach their limit（极限）before our head finishes a full turn, so they turn back to a new starting point, said Scientific American. When our eyes repeat this, we get dizzy.

Figure skaters don’t have any super power. They get dizzy, too. Their secret is lots and lots of practice, according to Science Focus magazine. As they train more, their brains get used to the feeling.

Skaters also have methods to help them feel less dizzy. The first method is called “opposing eye movement”. It’s like the eye movement when we watch a moving train pass in front of us while our heads stay still. Skaters can train themselves to have this eye movement when they spin. Scientific American said this can offset（抵消）the dizzy feeling.

The second method is keeping a uniform speed（匀速）. We feel dizzier when our brain feels changes in speed. Another method is that skaters can also pick one spot（点）to stare at as they stop turning, said Science Focus.

【1】When will people feel dizzy according to the text?

A．When people spin a lot.

B．When people jump a lot.

C．When people listen to music.

D．When people move their eyes fast.

【2】Which of following is true according to the text?

A．Figure skaters never get dizzy.

B．Skaters can get less dizzy after lots of practice.

C．People get dizzier when our eyes feel changes in speed.

D．When people spin, their eyes move in the same direction.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “opposing eye movement” probably mean in Chinese?

A．顺向眼动

B．反向眼动

C．旋转眼动

D．上下眼动

【4】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Why people feel dizzy.

B．How people can become figure skaters.

C．How important practice is for figure skaters.

D．What the secret to not feeling dizzy for figure skaters is.

24、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

The world is full of many interesting sounds. Some are unpleasant to our e【1】 while others are very pleasant to hear. In d【2】 life you may hear hundreds of sounds. All sounds are different. Some may be soft; others may be loud. Some sounds are high, others are l【3】.

Some sounds are useful. W【4】 sound we can’t talk or listen to each other. The ringing of clock w【5】 people up. The hooting (鸣笛声) of a car warns people there may be d【6】.

Some sounds are dangerous. When planes fly above the land, the sounds can break the house down. Very loud sound can even m【7】 people deaf.
