2016高考英语语法填空和阅读理解精品限时练习（7）what happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball？that question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players，and some anxiety among those of us with soccerplaying children.for the study，researchers at the albert einstein college of medicine in new york selected 34 adults，men and women.all of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed yearround in adult soccer leagues.each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year，as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned，using a complicated new mri technique which can find structural changes in the brain that cant be seen during most scans.according to the data they presented at a radiological society of north america meeting last month，the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory，attention and the processing of visual information，compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times. this pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”，like that after a serious concussion，the researchers reported，even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.the players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them，forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.语篇解读：研究表明，经常用头顶球会对大脑的内部构造造成严重影响，进而影响人的记忆力、注意力以及对视觉信息的处理能力。 1the passage is most probably a_.anews report bresearch reportcstory for soccer playersdtext for doctors解析推理判断题。根据第二段开头部分中的内容可推知，本文是一篇研究报告。答案b2from the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_.asignificant effect on ones brainblittle effect on ones braincnothing to do with the brain injurydones memory improved解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains”可推知，频繁地用头顶球对大脑有显著的影响。答案a3what is likely to be the cause of memory loss?aplaying soccer frequently.btests of their memory.cwhite matter loss.dinformation processing.解析细节理解题。结合第四段中的“loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory”以及下一段的开头部分可知，记忆力的丧失可能与大脑中的白色物质缺失有关。答案c4the underlined word “fumbling” is closest in meaning to_.aremembering bmisunderstandingcrecalling dmissing解析词义猜测题。结合画线词前面的“worse at recalling lists of words”和“forgetting”可推知，fumbling与missing的意思最相近。答案d阅读理解.it was a hot summer day. my dad and i were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.i had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else i would need for the day. i ran into my parents room to find dad. when i saw him on the phone, he was crying. id never seen my dad cry before. my heart sank. what possibly could have happened?max, im so sorry, i heard him say. thats when it hit me. i knew that suzie had died.max has been my dads best friend for years. suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. her brain was ok. she knew what was going on;
