单元综合检测(二)
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Exactly a decade has passed since a man called Oxygen first threw himself across America.Known for his jumping ability，Oxygen，a Czech，who jumped a nearly 10-foot-wide abyss (深渊)．Today，Petr Kops，21，is wearing Oxygen's pants．“I did not know Oxygen personally，but my sister did，” Kops said.“I wear his trousers for good luck.” Minutes later，Kops was standing at the edge of a 70-foot abyss called Broken Bones.
While it may seem suicidal (自杀的)，jumping across a gap is actually an extreme sport that is gaining in popularity.Called rock jumping，or simply jumping，this activity is taking place in the Adrspach-Teplice Rocks，a remote nature preserve in the northeast part of the Czech Republic.Known for its 11 square miles of sandstone，the region has been loved by lifelong rock climbers.“The aim is to get to the top of as many towers as you can.” said Vladimir Prochazka，known as June Bug，a 59-year-old climber and a collector of Czech rock climbing histories.
Jumping is often the most possible way to get to the tower.In most cases，climbers jump with a rope tied around their waist.If they miss the landing — which is not uncommon — they will fall into the wall of the base tower.“Jumping requires fearlessness，” Prochazka said.“Broken or damaged bones are fairly common.” Still，there are those who prefer to experience by jumping without a rope.Among the most well-known of these adventurers are Petr Prachtel and his wife，Zorka，who helped create the sport in the 1960s.They pioneered countless jumps，sometimes without the safety of a rope.

Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so.You can't be good at your studies or work when you are ill.If you have a headache，or a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor's advice，I can't help telling you a funny story.An old man came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness，memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told him to go to quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat，drink two glasses
of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule：“Eat at pleasure，drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again，he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man．“But you know，doctor，”he said，“It's not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

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 is 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.
