Mre than 400 athletes acrss a variety f sprts, ages and levels f experience were questined fr the study by sprts psychlgy experts frm Staffrdshire University and Manchester Metrplitan University. The findings reveal that athletes’ belief systems — specifically irratinal (非理性) beliefs — are related t prer self-cnfidence, and in turn, greater cmpetitive anxiety and depressive symptms.
“Phrases that reflect self-depreciating (贬低) beliefs such as ‘If I lse, I’m a failure’ r ‘If I face setbacks, it shws hw stupid I am’ are warning signs,” said the authrs. Paul Mansell, Lecturer in Sprt and Exercise Psychlgy at Staffrdshire University, said, “Despite the psychlgical benefits f physical activity, studies frequently reprt pr mental health in athletes, which may be exacerbated by adversities, such as injury, de-selectin, and perfrmance pressure. We investigated athletes’ beliefs, hw they view stress, their levels f self-cnfidence and put all this data tgether t wrk ut what might predict psychlgical well-being. We fund irratinal beliefs t be a cre reasn fr symptms f pr mental health in athletes.”
This is the first knwn study that has examined irratinal beliefs, self-cnfidence, and the psychlgical well-being f athletes all tgether. Irratinal beliefs are extreme, rigid, and illgical ideas that peple hld. Fr example, a persn might believe that they “must” get what they want, r that just because they have failed, they are a “cmplete failure”.
“We can all wrk t help athletes develp mindsets that help them deal with the challenges f sprt and life. By encuraging ratinal and lgical beliefs abut perfrmance, we can help athletes t stay healthy amidst the high demands f cmpetitive sprt,” said Paul Mansell.
The authr s prpse Ratinal Emtive Behavir Therapy (REBT) as an effective tl fr prtecting self-cnfidence. REBT helps athletes t challenge these self-depreciating beliefs and develp beliefs that are mre helpful and healthy. Fr example, rather than believe “I am a failure if I fail”, this might be cuntered with “Failing is nt ideal, but it des nt mean that I am a failure”.
8. What did the study centre n?
A. Physical health f athletes.
B. The cmpetitin state f athletes.
C. Psychlgical health f athletes.
D. Cmpetitin habits f athletes.

10. Which f the fllwing is a sign f irratinal beliefs?
A. Setbacks wn’t stp me.
B. If I fail, I will lse everything.
C It is a wrld full f cmpetitin.
D. What desn’t kill me makes me strnger.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shwing prmise in earthquake predictin, challenging the lng-held belief that it is impssible. Researchers at the University f Texas, Austin, have develped an AI algrithm (算法) that crrectly predicted 70% f earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and prvided accurate strength calculatins fr the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their methd succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning apprach. The AI was prvided with a set f statistical features based n the team’s knwledge f earthquake physics, and then instructed t train itself using a five-year database f earthquake recrdings. Once trained, the AI prvided its predictin by listening fr signs f incming earthquakes within the backgrund rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This wrk is clearly a milestne in research fr AI-driven earthquake predictin. “Yu dn’t see earthquakes cming,” explains Alexandrs Savvaidis, a senir research scientist wh leads the Texas Seismlgical Netwrk Prgram (Tex Net). “It’s a matter f millisecnds, and the nly thing yu can cntrl is hw prepared yu are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and culd help minimize ecnmic and human lsses and has the ptential t remarkably imprve earthquake preparatin wrldwide.”
While it is unknwn whether the same apprach will wrk at ther lcatins, the researchers are cnfident that their AI algrithm culd prduce mre accurate predictins if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking netwrks. The next step is t test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake statins and ver six years wrth f cntinuus recrds, making it an ideal lcatin fr these purpses.
Eventually, the authrs hpe t cmbine the system with physics-based mdels. This strategy culd prve especially imprtant where data is pr r lacking. “That may be a lng way ff, but many advances such as this ne, taken tgether, are what mves science frward,” cncludes Sctt Tinker, the bureau’s directr.
12. Hw des the AI frecast earthquakes?
A. By identifying data frm the satellites.
B. By analyzing backgrund sunds in the Earth.
C. By mdeling data based n earthquake recrdings.
D. By mnitring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What des Alexandrs Savvaidis intend t shw in paragraph 3?
A. The ways t reduce lsses in earthquakes.
B. The imprtance f preparing fr earthquakes.
C. The significance f develping the AI predictin.
D. The limitatin f AI algrithms in earthquake predictin.
14. What des the fllw-up research fcus n?
A. Cnducting tests in different lcatins.
B. Applying the AI apprach t ther fields.
C. Building mre earthquake statins in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database t train the calculatin accuracy.
15. Which wrds can best describe the earthquake-predicting technlgy?
A. Stable but utdated.B. Effective but cstly.
C Ptential and ecnmical.D. Pineering and prmising.

Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math prblems in frnt f her. Numbers and variables danced cnfusingly acrss the page, laughing at her every effrt. At schl, Emily was knwn fr her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness. N matter hw hard she tried, she just culdn’t make sense f it.
Her struggles nly wrsened in the 10th grade. The pressure t keep up with her classmates grew, and the pr grades shk her cnfidence. Then came Mr. Jenkins, her new math teacher, wh sensed her frustratin and ffered t help her after class.
Emily was initially resistant; the idea f spending extra hurs n a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But — she unwillingly agreed, knwing smething had t change.
Mr. Jenkins didn’t dive straight int prblems. Instead, he asked abut her interests. When Emily spke passinately abut her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if yu knw where t lk.”
Dubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began t explain cncepts thrugh visual examples. He used clrs and shapes, turning abstract numbers int smething almst tangible (有形的). Fr the first time, math seemed less like a freign language and mre like a puzzle waiting t be slved.
Hwever, prgress was slw. Weeks passed by, minimal imprvement, and Emily’s patience wre thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears. She was cnvinced that she was sure t fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas (画布). Masterpieces aren’t created vernight.”
Encuraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed n. She began t see the cnnectins between the steps, hw each slutin fllwed a lgical path. Small victries in practice prblems gave her sme hpe. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, n matter hw minr.

1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Mre than 400 athletes acrss a variety f sprts, ages and levels f experience were questined fr the study by sprts psychlgy experts frm Staffrdshire University and Manchester Metrplitan University. The findings reveal that athletes’ belief systems — specifically irratinal (非理性) beliefs — are related t prer self-cnfidence, and in turn, greater cmpetitive anxiety and depressive symptms.
“Phrases that reflect self-depreciating (贬低) beliefs such as ‘If I lse, I’m a failure’ r ‘If I face setbacks, it shws hw stupid I am’ are warning signs,” said the authrs. Paul Mansell, Lecturer in Sprt and Exercise Psychlgy at Staffrdshire University, said, “Despite the psychlgical benefits f physical activity, studies frequently reprt pr mental health in athletes, which may be exacerbated by adversities, such as injury, de-selectin, and perfrmance pressure. We investigated athletes’ beliefs, hw they view stress, their levels f self-cnfidence and put all this data tgether t wrk ut what might predict psychlgical well-being. We fund irratinal beliefs t be a cre reasn fr symptms f pr mental health in athletes.”
This is the first knwn study that has examined irratinal beliefs, self-cnfidence, and the psychlgical well-being f athletes all tgether. Irratinal beliefs are extreme, rigid, and illgical ideas that peple hld. Fr example, a persn might believe that they “must” get what they want, r that just because they have failed, they are a “cmplete failure”.
“We can all wrk t help athletes develp mindsets that help them deal with the challenges f sprt and life. By encuraging ratinal and lgical beliefs abut perfrmance, we can help athletes t stay healthy amidst the high demands f cmpetitive sprt,” said Paul Mansell.
The authr s prpse Ratinal Emtive Behavir Therapy (REBT) as an effective tl fr prtecting self-cnfidence. REBT helps athletes t challenge these self-depreciating beliefs and develp beliefs that are mre helpful and healthy. Fr example, rather than believe “I am a failure if I fail”, this might be cuntered with “Failing is nt ideal, but it des nt mean that I am a failure”.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is shwing prmise in earthquake predictin, challenging the lng-held belief that it is impssible. Researchers at the University f Texas, Austin, have develped an AI algrithm (算法) that crrectly predicted 70% f earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and prvided accurate strength calculatins fr the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their methd succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning apprach. The AI was prvided with a set f statistical features based n the team’s knwledge f earthquake physics, and then instructed t train itself using a five-year database f earthquake recrdings. Once trained, the AI prvided its predictin by listening fr signs f incming earthquakes within the backgrund rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This wrk is clearly a milestne in research fr AI-driven earthquake predictin. “Yu dn’t see earthquakes cming,” explains Alexandrs Savvaidis, a senir research scientist wh leads the Texas Seismlgical Netwrk Prgram (Tex Net). “It’s a matter f millisecnds, and the nly thing yu can cntrl is hw prepared yu are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and culd help minimize ecnmic and human lsses and has the ptential t remarkably imprve earthquake preparatin wrldwide.”
While it is unknwn whether the same apprach will wrk at ther lcatins, the researchers are cnfident that their AI algrithm culd prduce mre accurate predictins if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking netwrks. The next step is t test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake statins and ver six years wrth f cntinuus recrds, making it an ideal lcatin fr these purpses.
Eventually, the authrs hpe t cmbine the system with physics-based mdels. This strategy culd prve especially imprtant where data is pr r lacking. “That may be a lng way ff, but many advances such as this ne, taken tgether, are what mves science frward,” cncludes Sctt Tinker, the bureau’s directr.
12. Hw des the AI frecast earthquakes?
A. By identifying data frm the satellites.
B. By analyzing backgrund sunds in the Earth.
C. By mdeling data based n earthquake recrdings.
D. By mnitring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field.
13. What des Alexandrs Savvaidis intend t shw in paragraph 3?
A The ways t reduce lsses in earthquakes.
B. The imprtance f preparing fr earthquakes.
C. The significance f develping the AI predictin.
D. The limitatin f AI algrithms in earthquake predictin.
14. What des the fllw-up research fcus n?
A. Cnducting tests in different lcatins.
B. Applying the AI apprach t ther fields.
C. Building mre earthquake statins in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database t train the calculatin accuracy.
15. Which wrds can best describe the earthquake-predicting technlgy?
A. Stable but utdated.B. Effective but cstly.
C. Ptential and ecnmical.D. Pineering and prmising.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了丝绸之路的历史与发展。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：丝绸之路是古代贸易路线的网络，从东亚延伸到地中海，覆盖了广阔的距离和惊人的景观。a variety f表示“各种各样的”，本句中astnishing为元音发音开头。填不定冠词an。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：丝绸之路是古代贸易路线的网络，从东亚延伸到地中海，覆盖了广阔的距离和惊人的景观。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入非谓语动词；此处extend的意思为延伸，与the Silk Rad之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填extending。
【38题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：广泛的丝绸之路网络的一个关键部分是长安—天山走廊，它延伸了大约5000公里的距离，覆盖了8700公里的贸易路线。分析句子结构可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句的连接词，此处考查非限制从句中缺少主语而且指代Chang’an-Tianshan Crridr，所以用which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：张骞，皇帝指派的使节，从长安到中亚旅行。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，本文描述的是过去的事情，因此用一般过去时。故填jurneyed。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态与主谓一致。句意：为了在当时的主要大国之间建立桥梁，张骞开辟了几条路线，其路线网络最远可达罗马帝国。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，本文描述的是过去的事情，因此需要使用一般过去时，主语“Several rutes”与“seek”之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，所以be动词用were。故填were sught。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个网络逐渐扩大，一直使用到16世纪。空格处位于动词之后，修饰动词，所以需要用副词形式，gradual的副词为gradually意为“逐渐地”。故填gradually。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：路上挤满了一串串驮着货物的骆驼。lads f表示“大量，许多”；此处指的是大量的货物。故填lads。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：除了贸易交流，该网络还起到了文化交流的桥梁作用。serve as意为“为发挥作用，充当……”；此处指的是充当了文化交流的桥梁作用。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这条惊人的长路连接了东西方文明，实现了共同发展。此处为非谓语动词做定语来修饰名词develpment。share和develpment为被动关系，所以用过去分词。故填shared。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：长安—天山走廊被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，标志着人们认识到丝绸之路是人类共同遗产的重要组成部分。in recgnitin f意为“对……的认可”。此处表示“认识到丝绸之路是人类共同遗产的重要组成部分”。故填recgnitin。
