B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Worried.【答案】28.D29.C30.B31.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项研究表明，练习太极拳有助于缓解帕金森氏病的症状。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Recently,theresearcherssaythatthosewhopractisedthemartialarttwiceaweekhadfewercomplications(并发症)andbetterqualityoflifethanthosewhodidn’t.ExpertssaythefindingsbackuppreviousstudiesonthebenefitsofexerciseforthosewithParkinson’s.(最近，研究人员表示，每周练习两次太极的人比不练习的人并发症更少，生活质量更好。专家表示，这些发现支持了之前关于运动对帕金森氏症患者益处的研究。)”和第二段中的“Thestudy,fromShanghaiJiaoTongUniversitySchoolofMedicine,monitoredthehealthofhundredsofParkinson’spatientsforuptofiveyears.(这项来自上海交通大学医学院的研究对数百名帕金森病患者的健康状况进行了长达五年的监测。)”可推测出，进行这项研究是为了研究太极拳对那些患有帕金森氏病的人产生的好处。故选D。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“TheresearchersfoundthatthediseaseprogressedmoreslowlyintheTaiChigrouponmeasurementsofsymptoms(症状),movementandbalance.Thisgroupalsosawfewerfalls,lessbackpainanddizziness,withmemoryandconcentrationproblemsalsolowerthanintheothergroup.(研究人员发现，从症状、动作和平衡的测量结果来看，太极拳组的病情进展较慢。这一组的跌倒次数更少，背痛和头晕次数更少，记忆力和注意力问题也低于另一组。)”可知，太极拳组的病情进展较慢，跌倒、背痛、头晕次数更少，记忆力和注意力问题也较低，选项A、B、D均是研究发现，C项不符合题意。故选C。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中他的话“WealreadyrecommendTaiChi,aswellasotherformsofexercise,butunderstandingwhichformsofexercisearemostbeneficialisanimportantgoaltoimprovethelong-termmanagementofpatients(我们已经推荐太极拳和其他形式的运动，但了解哪些运动形式最有益是改善患者长期管理的重要目标)”可知，他认为了解哪些运动形式最有益是改善患者长期管理的重要目标，由此可推测出，找到最有益的锻炼方式是非常重要的。故选B。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Prof.AlastairNoyce,professorinneurologyandneuroepidemiologyatQueenMaryUniversityofLondon,calledit‘animportantstudy’—thepositiveeffectsonaspectsofmotor(运动的)andnon-motorfunctionsareimpressive(伦敦玛丽女王大学神经病学和神经流行病学教授AlastairNoyce教授称这是‘一项重要的研究’——对运动功能和非运动功能的积极影响令人印象深刻)”可知，他认为这项研究是一项重要的研究，对运动功能和非运动功能的积极影响令人印象深刻，由此可推测出，他对这项研究持肯定态度。故选C。DWhiledoinghomework,SeoyoungJunclosedoneeyeandsuccessfullypickedupherpencilholder.Sherealizedthatdirectingherselfina3Dspacedidn’trequirebotheyes.Thissurprisedhersomuchthatshedidsomeresearch.Andshelearnedthebraincanprocess3Dinformationwithpoorvision(视力)orevenwithoutanyvision.ThentheideaforMindBeaconwasborn.Itusesathinlineoflighttogather3Dinformationabouttheplacementofwalls,furnitureandotherthings.ThenthelightsendsthatinformationbacktoMindBeacon,whichthenraiseslittlepins(大头针)toshowwherethoseobstacles(障碍物)are.Thenblindpeoplecan“read”thepositionofthosepinstounderstandthepositionsofstructuresandobjectsaheadandwalkaroundthem.Whentheinventionworkedforthefirsttime,Seoyoungdidn’tbelieveit.She’dbeenupallnightworkingonit.Tobesuretherewasn’tamistake,sheshutitoffandstarteditup.Ithadbeensevenlongmonthsofresearchandtesting.Nowthistoolcanhelpdisabledpeoplecreateamentalimageoftheirsurroundings.TheheartofMindBeaconisa3Ddepthsensorthat’sconnectedtoacomputer.Thatcomputercancontrolmotorsthatarelinedupinthreerowsofthree.Eachmotorcontrolsapinthatcanmoveupanddown.Whenthesensorfindsanobstacle,thepinrises.Itcanrisetothreedifferentheights.Eachheightroughlyrepresentstheheightoftheobstacle.Someonewhorunstheirhandovertheninepinscantellwheretheobstacleisanditsgeneralheight.MindBeaconwonSeoyoungaplaceattheworld’shighschoolresearchcompetition.Rightnow,shewantstoameliorateit.Sheimaginesinthefutureitcanbeconnectedtoasmartphone,withmorelittlepinstoshowtheexactheightoftheobstacle.Itwouldfeellikealittlemapshowingthelocationandsizeoftheobstacleahead.32.WhatinspiredSeoyoungtoinventMindBeacon?A.Thedesiretowinacompetition.
