河北省赞皇县2015高考英语阅读理解（暑假）训练（9）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 in my experience, freshmen today are different from those i knew when i started as a professor 25 years ago. college has always been demanding both academically and socially. but students now are less mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in college. many of todays students lack resilience (适应力)and at the first sign of difficulty are unable to think out strategies. the hardship can be a failing grade on a test, a cut from the team, or a romantic breakup. it is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from lifes obstacles. parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children from writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their childrens lack of coping strategies. but we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today. how many people do you know who are on medications (治疗) to prevent anxiety or depression? the number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. we, as a society, dont want to“feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly dont want our children to“suffer”. the resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and solve problems. our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but i dont believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than the past 10 years. what i do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults”with all the responsibilities of life. as parents, we should expect young people to meet challenges. to encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. this approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood. 1. the best title of the text probably is_ a. have college freshmen changed? b. what should college faculty and staff do today? c. what difficulty are freshmen facing? d. how to get used to college life for freshmen? 2. according to the text, todays freshmen_.a. are not good at dealing with problemsb. often fail in the examsc. cant get along well

work for six months after quality weekly magazine folded. the regular salary cheque had always seemed very small, but now it- was like lost riches. she sent many articles to other magazines. sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task. she once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information. her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh. and nancy was getting a name for sharp comment. in this trade, she saw, you didnt need so much to be up to date with things as ahead of them, lying in wait for circumstance, ready to jump.then one day she walked into the offices of national daily. it had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her. having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories shed written, she fell into conversation with a woman she had known before. she learned that one of the papers regular columnists( 专栏作家) had quitted the job. so nancy made the

assumed, tiredness-or exhaustion-in athletes originates in the muscles（肌肉）precise explanations have varied, but all have been based on the limitations theoryin other words, muscles tire because they hit a physical limit; they either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products （副产品）in the past few years, however, timothy noakes from the university of cape town south africa, has examined this standard theorytiredness, he argues, is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles, but is an emotional response which begins in the brainthe fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustionwhen the brain decides its time to quit, it creates unbearable muscle tirednessthis central governor theory remains controversial, but it does-explain many puzzling aspects of athletic performancea recent discovery that noakes calls the lactic acid paradox made him start researching this area seriouslylactic acid is a by-product of exercise, and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tirednessbut when research subjects exercise in certain conditions created artificially, they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain lownor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep goingobviously, something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits noakes conducted an experiment with seven cyclistsit has long been known that during exercise, the body never uses 100% of the available muscle fibres （纤维）the amount used varies; but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%his team found that as tiredness set in, the electrical activity in cyclists legs declined-even when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they couldto noakes, this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrongthe cyclists may have felt completely exhausted, he says, but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theoretically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibresthis, he believes; is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the well back from the point of extreme tiredness67, which of the following is supported by the limitations theory?atiredness is caused by signals from brainbathletes feel tired when they
