29、o is that just about anything ishumanly possible,”says Dr.Jack Wilmore,author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise.“Astime goes by,I think youll see more records continue to fall in every sport.The talent pool isbetter than ever.With more and better athletes involved and competing,records will fall a

30、ndnew standards will be set.”Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under fourminutes,but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three-minute,59-second mile in1954.Today,sub-four-minute miles are considered routine even in high school.And BobBeamon stretched

32、ed:sports psychology.Getting inside the athletes head can be as effective as training and long workouts.According toWilmore,the psychological aspect of sports has become more and more esteemed.He pointsout that most professional teams have hired sports psychologists for their players.In addition,eve

33、ry aspect of athletics-training,nutrition,injury treatment-is far betterthan its ever been.“Besides,children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead ofcompeting in several as was common twenty-five years ago,”Wilmore says.“That means theystart concentrating on a sport much earlier and

38、ne particular sport.DThe old saying“Use it or lose it”doesnt appear to be true when it comes to someonesability to preserve and use a foreign language,a new study has revealed.The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE orA-level between the 1970s and 2020 with compl

39、eting a French vocabulary and grammar test.They included a survey of whether participants had used their French knowledge over the yearssince their exams,and excluded(排除)anyone who had studied a language later on in life.They found that participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used

40、 Frenchsince performed at the same level as recent school leavers,and as well as those who did,onoccasion,use French.Lead researcher Monika Schmid said:“The knowledge of language is astonishingly stableover long periods of time,compared to other subjects such as maths,history or science.This islikel

41、y because of the way language is stored in memory.Vocabulary is memorized in the sameway that facts,dates and names are,while this memory may become weaker over time,andgrammar is learned in a similar way to riding a bike,a kind of muscle memory,which is muchmore stable.Vocabulary knowledge on the o

42、ther hand,exists in a highly connected network,which means that we need only be reminded of a word that sounds similar to a foreign languageword for our brain to recall it.”“Many people are put off revisiting languages they once learnt as they fear they will beforced to relive some of the more borin

43、g elements of the courses,such as grammar,but ourwork suggests that this would not be necessary.We hope that it might encourage more people topick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time inrefresher lessons to bounce back to their original level,”Schmid added

44、.32.What did the researchers ask the participants to do?A.Take a French exam.B.Conduct a survey in French.C.Learn French from recent school leavers.D.Talk about their French GCSE experience.#QQABBYaEggAAAgBAAAhCEwFSCgOQkACACIoGAEAMoAABQBNABAA=#高二英语第 8页共 12页33.What can help us recall a foreign word?A
