Running n Empty
Fr almst a century, scientists have assumed, tiredness—r exhaustin—in athletes riginates(起源于) in the muscles. Precise explanatins have varied, but all have been based n the “Limitatins Thery”. In ther wrds, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit: they either run ut f fuel r xygen r they drwn in harmful by-prducts(副产品).
In the past few years, hwever, Timthy Nakes frm the University f Cape Twn, Suth Africa, has examined this standard thery. Tiredness, he argues, is caused nt by signals springing frm vertaxed muscles, but is an emtinal respnse which begins in the brain. The fundamental nature f his new thery is that the brain paces the muscles t keep them well back frm the edge f exhaustin. When the brain decides it’s time t quit, it creates unbearable muscle tiredness. This “Central Gvernr” thery remains cntrversial, but it des explain many puzzling aspects f athletic perfrmance.
A recent discvery that Nakes calls the “lactic acid paradx” made him start researching this area seriusly. Lactic acid is a by-prduct f exercise, and the increase f it is ften mentined as a cause f tiredness. But when research subjects exercise in certain cnditins created artificially, they becme tired even thugh lactic acid levels remain lw. Nr has the xygen cntent f their bld fallen t lw fr them t keep ging. Obviusly, smething else was making them tire befre they hit either f these physilgical limits.
Nakes cnducted an experiment with seven cyclists. It has lng been knwn that during exercise, the bdy never uses 100% f the available muscle fibres(纤维). The amunt used varies, but in sme tasks such as this cycling test the bdy calls n abut 30%. His team fund that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclist’s legs declined—even when they were making a great effrt t cycle as fast as they culd.
T Nakes, this was strng evidence that the ld thery was wrng. “The cyclists may have felt cmpletely exhausted,” he says, “but their bdies actually had cnsiderable reserves that they culd theretically tap by using a greater amunt f the resting fibres.” This, he believes, is the prf that the brain is regulating the pace f the wrkut t hld the cyclists well back frm the pint f extreme tiredness.
29. Which f the fllwing is supprted by “the Limitatins Thery”?
A. Tiredness is caused by signals frm brain.
B. Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.
C. The bdy uses 100% f the muscle fibres in exercise.
D. Athletes becme tired thugh lactic acid levels remain lw.
30. Nakes has fund ut that ___________.
A. muscle fibres cntrl athletes’ mvements
B. Lactic acid levels remain high in cycling test
C. mental prcesses cntrl the symptms f tiredness
D. different exercises use different amunt f muscle fibres
31. It is likely that bth theries accept that ___________.

【答案】33. F 34. G 35. D 36. A 37. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了道歉不仅仅是说“对不起”。事实上,一项研究发现,有效的道歉由五个组成部分。它们包括表达遗憾、解释错误所在、承认责任、主动修复局面以及请求原谅。
【33题详解】
空后一句说,“他们主要包含:表达歉意,解释原因,承担责任,提出修复,请求原谅”和F选项中“事实上,一个研究发现有效的道歉有五个方面”的five对应。空后出现代词“they”,前面一定有指代的内容,且为复数形式,故选F。
【34题详解】
空前一句说,“并非所有被破坏的情况都是一样的”。G选项说,“所以你可能需要根据环境来调整你的道歉”,选项中的“circumstances”对应前一句提到的“situatins”,故选G。
【35题详解】
空前句说,“一点冷静的时间可能会有帮助”;空后句说“但是如果对方对你做的错事非常生气,等待或许会使道歉更有效,因为他们的愤怒会阻止他们接受你的道歉”,出现转折连词“but”,从后往前推可知设空位置一定是与“等待”构成转折,即D选项中“有时或许需要一个及时的道歉”的“及时”,故选D。
【36题详解】
空后两句说“专家认为面对面的道歉比打电话、发邮件、写信道歉都有效”“面部表情、姿势、声调都能表达你的道歉诚意”,其中利用“面部表情、姿势、声调”道歉正好对应A选项“让你的身体发声”,故选A。
【37题详解】
整个第五段都在讲道歉中的解释并非是找借口,而空前一句说“假道歉是指把责任归咎于被冒犯的人自己太过敏感”,而这种做法作者前面也指出是错误的,与E选项中“不要暗示另一人的悲伤或生气是他自己的错”对应,故选E。
