14、tically said, “ I am going to throw the biggest rock, because I know it will go the farthest.” Mark picked up the largest rock he could get and threw it, but it didnt go very far.

20、lp.After realizing there was no such thing, Hannah and her brother decided to do something about it. After some research, Hannah made some early drawings of what the app might look like.

27、 research supports using music to get excited before a run, and suggests that listening to music after a run can speed recovery. And it also proves that you probably get less benefit from music if you run harder.Brazilian researchers tested the effect of music on 15 runners before, during and after
28、they ran a5 K time trial(计时赛). They had been runners for an average of just under five years, and averagedabout an hour of training per day. There were four tests with music: pre-run music; running with slow music; running with fast music; post-run music.Pre-run music led to a decrease in vagal tone
29、 (迷走神经张力). In other words, a decreased vagal tone means that pre-run music made the runners better prepare for their 5K time trials. When the runners ran with music, they ran their first two laps(圈 )faster than when they ran with no-music. After that, the differences in lap time between the music an
30、d no-music conditions greatly decreased.On average, the runners covered the 5Ks faster when listening to music before and during running. In the no-music condition, the average 5K time was just under 27:20. In the pre-run condition, it was 26:45. When the runners listened to fast music during the 5K
31、 time trial, their average time was just over 26:00 but it was 26:00 when they listened to slow music.When the runners listened to music after their 5KS, it had the opposite effect of pre-run music on vagal tone. This means that the runners bodies were more quickly returning to normal. Because the g
32、oal of post-run recovery methods such as gentle exercise, is to speed the bodys return to a normal state, this finding suggests that slow music after a hard run can help in that process.27. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. Music does no good to runners.B. Listening to music can make people r
33、un faster.C. Music can bring people a relaxing running experience.D. Listening to music before and after a run does good to runners.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The harder you run, the more music benefits you.B. The tested runners hadnt done much running exercise.C. Slow music ha
34、s a better effect on running than fast music.D The differences between running with music and without it are great.29. Music influences runners after a 5K time trial by_.A. making them eat more B. increasing the vagal toneC. decreasing the vagal tone D. making them sleep better30. Runners should do
35、gentle exercise after running to_.A. get ready for the next trial B. make them get relaxedC. help reduce pain on their knees D. help their bodies return to normal第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） ） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.Is it wise to help others?
