www.88haoxue.com C I try to be a good father. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles(1 mile = 1.6km) in marathons. Eight times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also pulled him 2.4 miles in a dinghy(小游艇) while swimming and pedaled(蹬车) him 112miles---all in the same day. And what has Rick done for his father? Not much---except save his life. This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled（使窒息） by the umbilical cord(脐带) during birth, leaving him brain–damaged and unable to control his limbs. When Rick was 11, the Hoyts took him to hospital and asked if there was anything that could be done to help the boy communicate. “No way,” Dick was told. “There’s nothing going in his brain.” “Tell him a joke,” Dick suggested. They did. Rick laughed. It turned out that a lot was going on in his brain. Equipped with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor(光标) by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate. And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out（啄出）, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, who had never run more than a mile at a time, going to push his son 5 miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “When we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled any more!” And that sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying time for Boston the following year. Then somebody said: “ Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon（三项全能）?” Now they’ve done 212 triathlons. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 23th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992-only 35 minutes off the world record. And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a heart attack during the race. Doctors found that one of his arteries was 95 percent blocked. “If you hadn’t been in such great shape,” one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.” So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other’s lives. 49. The underlined word “limbs” in para. 3 means______. A. fingers       B. feet       C. arms and legs        D. wrists and knees 50. Which of the following is True according to the passage? A. Rick was unable to communicate until he was equipped with a computer. B. The charity that Rick’s school organized for him totally changed his life. C. Since the first triathlon they did in 1983, they have finished 212. D. To comptete in a triathlon, Dick and Rick had to practice swimming, driving and running. 51. The author says that Rick saved Dick’s life because ______. A. Rick’s situation encouraged his father when he was terribly sick. B. Rick helped his father get the best treatment. C. all the efforts Dick put in to running with Rick kept him fit. D. when his father had a heart attack 2 years ago, Rick saved him. 52. What might be the best title of the passage? A. A brave son who never gives up hope B. Son’s success resulting from father’s help C. A distinguished father who devotes himself to sports D. A family team we can all learn from D People who play computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests. In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive skills didn’t get any smarter. Researchers recruited(招募) participants from views of the BBC’s science show Bang Goes the Theory. More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.

www.88haoxue.com They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment. Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. “If you’re (playing these games) because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,” said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britain’s Medical Research Council, the study’s lead author. “But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isn’t the case.” Computer games that are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies have examined if the games work. “There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world,” said Art Kramer, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, US. Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells. Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren’t fun. “If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don’t get the answers very often and it really annoys you, then it may be useful,” said Philip Adey, a professor of psychology at King’s College in London. If people are enjoying the brain games, Adey said they probably aren’t being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game. He said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to improve their brain power. “To stimulate the intellect, you need a real challenge,” Adey said, adding computer games were not an easy shortcut. “Getting smart is hard work.” 53. According to the article, which of the following is NOT useful to develop brain power? A. learning a language                  B. getting some physical exercise C. playing challengable games            D. playing fun games 54. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A. playing brain games is as effective a means of improving the brain as Super Mario. B. playing Super Mario is a better means of improving the brain C. playing brain games can’t improve cognitive skills D. playing computer games can train the brain 55. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Many studies show that brain games are an effective means of improving cognitive skills. B. The skills used in brain games can be transferred to real life. C. Participants took IQ test twice during the research because scientists wished to assess if brain games were effective in improving cognitive skills. D. Surfing the Internet is a more effective means of improving cognitive skills than video games. 56. Which is another way of summing up Adey’s argument in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. No pains, no gains. D. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. E
