(2019·嘉兴模拟)When Carson Palmer, a professional American football player,

hurt his arm a few years ago, he took a week off from throwing the football.But in his head, Palmer practiced every day.The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life.

For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works.In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when you're imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles (肌肉) which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform.In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner how-to guide for a particular skill.

Sports psychologists have conducted hundreds of studies comparing imagined and physical practice for actions.On the whole, the research shows that mental training works.A 2012 study, for example, compared 32 amateur golfers who practiced hitting the balls to another 32 who merely held a golf club in their hands and visualized (想象) their swings.Under the same training rules, both groups improved their skills by getting the ball about 4 inches closer to the hole.

Visualization has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere, even when injured.It is safe — a major plus for high-risk performers such as gymnasts and surgeons.And you can practice for longer periods of time because you're not restricted by physical tiredness. That's not to say it's easy, however, “we've had Olympic-level athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing the movements for two hours，” says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland.“When we're done, they're absolutely tired.”

It doesn't work for everyone, though.“If you're a novice,_the effect can be harmful，” warns Macintyre.“If you're trying to visualize a free throw, and you don't even know the proper movement, then you're probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.”

语篇解读：研究发现运动员的精神训练法能训练运动员的肌肉反应，在头脑中形成自己的反应模式，能促进一个运动员的技能水平的提高，但此法不适用于新手。

5．The author introduces the topic of the text by ______. A．giving an example B．presenting an argument C．explaining a phenomenon D．making an assumption

解析：选A 推理判断题。文章第一段用美国橄榄球运动员Carson Palmer受伤在家，但是坚持精神训练的例子来引出运动员通过精神训练法也能促进或保持运动员的竞技水平这个话题。故答案选A。

6．What happens when one is visualizing an action? A．A special skill is quickly acquired. B．A certain model is formed in the head. C．The muscles grow increasingly tense. D．The brain sends strong messages to the body.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段“In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner how-to guide for a particular skill.”，精神训练法也会训练运动员的肌肉反应，创建你头脑的反应模式。故答案选B。

7．What does the underlined word “novice” in the last paragraph mean? A．Coach. C．Beginner.

B．Specialist. D．Judge.

解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“don't even know the proper movement”可知，novice指不知道运动的正确姿势和动作，对该运动不是很熟悉的人，由此可以知道该词是初学者、新手的意思。故答案选C。

8．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Athletes are likely to win games through imagined practice. B．Practicing a skill properly in mind can produce intended effect. C．Practice whether mental or physical has its own characteristics. D．Scientists have found a safe way for athletes to practice their skills. 解析：选B 主旨大意题。本文用一个著名运动员的例子来引出话题，运动员用运动的精神训练法在某种程度上也能跟身体训练一样，达到促进运动技能的效果。故答案选B。

C

Studies have shown a direct link between goals and improved performance in both sports and business.Earl Nightingale put it this way, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.It's as simple as that.”

Dr.Maxwell Maltz, author of the classic Psycho-Cybernetics, said that human beings have a built-in goal seeking “success mechanism (机制)” that is part of the subconscious (潜意识的) mind.This success mechanism is constantly searching for ways to help us reach our targets and find answers to our

problems.According to Maltz, we feel better when our success mechanism keeps going
