may improve willpower strength.”可知,雖然肌肉在短期內(nèi)會(huì)因運(yùn)動(dòng)而疲憊不堪,但長(zhǎng)期而言,它們會(huì)通過(guò)經(jīng)常鍛煉而增強(qiáng)。同樣規(guī)律的自我控制可以提高意志力。兩者相比是為了說(shuō)明同一個(gè)道理:長(zhǎng)期的鍛煉和自我控制的好處。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是為了解釋自我控制的好處。故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, you39。ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will bee routine, and won39。t require making decisions at all.”可知,作者認(rèn)為一個(gè)接一個(gè)的制定目標(biāo)是一個(gè)更好的方法。一旦養(yǎng)成好習(xí)慣,你就不再需要依靠意志力來(lái)維持自己的行為。最終健康的習(xí)慣將成為慣例,而且不需要做任何決定。所以C項(xiàng)I will read an English novel every month.是先設(shè)立目標(biāo),然后成為好習(xí)慣,作者更喜歡這種目標(biāo)。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇教育類(lèi)閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。4.閱讀理解 Paying a higher price than usual for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the annoyance of many a cinemagoer39。s life. But there may be a benefit to doing so, as a study has found that 3D films exercise the brain and improve shortterm functioning in a similar way to braintraining tests. The research found that people who watched a movie in 3D improved cognitive (認(rèn)知) skills, pared to those who watched it in 2D. The research was led by neuroscientist(神經(jīng)學(xué)家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or RealD 3D. They also carried out a braintrainingstyle test before and after seeing a section from the film. The test covered memory, reaction times and cognitive function and the results were pared later. According to the research, which was carried out in partnership with science group Thrill Laboratory, participants experienced a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction times. Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain power in the future. These findings are more significant than you might think, he said. It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can worsen future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study show that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline. A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets that scanned brain activity and this too showed heightened (加強(qiáng)的) activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to argument that 3D movies are more like watching reallife—something Professor Brendan Walker from Thrill Laboratory agreed with. As Professor Brendan Walker39。s test concluded, 3D films are more attractive and heighten the senses — this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds, Dr Fagan said.

Lopifit is an unusual means of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by walking on a treadmill. Lopifit founder Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question. How can I use a treadmill outdoors? He eventually came up with a design, to which he added an electric engine, and Lopifit was born. The treadmill bicycle is similar to a typical electric bicycle in that the motor only works when the rider puts power in as well. The Lopifit senses it when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the back part of the treadmill, helping you reach a top speed of 17 miles per hour. To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the battery and use your feet to slide the treadmill backwards and activate (激活) the motor. Then get on and enjoy the ride! If you need speed, just walk on the treadmill, and if you want to coast, all you have to do is stay still and admire the view. To stop, you have two hand brakes available. The Lopifit first hit the streets in 2014 and, unsurprisingly, became an instant hit. That was actually quite challenging for the pany, because it started get inquiries and calls for orders, but it was nowhere near ready for mass production. The unique treadmill bicycle became available this year, and Lopifit is struggling to keep up with demand, despite the high price tag of $ 2,115. But despite having a very loyal fanbase of socalled Lopifitters, the creative means of transportation also has naysayers who simply consider the invention stupid and unnecessary. They basically believe that if you39。re going to walk, you might as w
