26、Runners who encounter visual and auditory distractions (干扰)may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distraction from the task at hand. Whether it be music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill(跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered those distractions may lead to injury.
Daniel Herman, MD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted research on the effects of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how many times a runner breathes per minute and how much oxygen is consumed by the body.
The runners were all injury-free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr . Herman’s team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runner having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runner having to note when a certain word was spoken by a certain voice.
When compared to running without distractions, the participants applied force faster to their left and right legs called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all.
"Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably affect running performance and increase injury risk," explains Dr. Herman. "Sometimes these things cannot be helped, but you may be able to minimize potentially cumulative(累积的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a chaotic environment such as during a destination of marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention - like a new song playlist."
Dr. Herman's team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues.
【1】Paragraph 2 tells us the research ___________.
A. process B. question
C. results D. reflection
【2】Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to ____________.
A. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates
B. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates

【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays
B. Listening to a new song while running ensure performance
C. Runners are advised to minimize distractions in a destination of marathon
D. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions
【4】What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman’s team?
A. What determines training techniques
B. What effective ways can cure leg injuries
C. Why runners use auditory and visual cues
D. How distractions should be used in training
27、Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault(断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?
Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings were almost all destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks(裂缝) opened in the ground.
The Mississippi River completely changed character, developing sudden fast-moving currents. Several times it changed its course, and once it appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquake, simply because few people lived in this area in 1811; but the severity of the quake is shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.
Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are different. The San Andreas fault is a horizontal (水平的) boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly leans (倾斜) forward.
The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical(垂直的)fault; at some point, millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions start earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.
Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate large ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when it will occur.
【1】 The New Madrid fault is _______.
A. responsible for forming the Mississippi River
B. a fault in the flat position
C. a fault caused by rocks moving directly upward
D. a worse fault than the San Andreas fault
【2】Which of the following is NOT true about the New Madrid fault?
A. Not many people were killed in the quakes in 1811.
B. Bells were rung in church towers in Charleston to inform the coming quakes.
C. The quakes stopped the clocks in Washington, D.C.
D. The quakes were caused by sudden sinking motion.
【3】 It can be concluded from the passage that _______.
A. it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as in California.
B. the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountain range in Missouri
C. in the future California will become an island
D. California will be broken into small pieces by an eventual earthquake
【4】The author suggests that________.
A. earthquakes occur only around fault areas
B. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical ones
C. vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal ones
D. faults are cracks on the earth’s surface caused by past movements of the earth’s land masses
28、Online games are very popular among people. They make a large amount of money and have a large user base, including lots of teenagers. But now, new rules on online games have been introduced. 【1】
