Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance
Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. “We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to recreate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements(测量)on each runner while they’ve been completing
their 10km.”
They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And it’s much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they found how they felt their perception of heat—was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin’s surface.
Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exercising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, don’t let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.
30. According to the passage, John Brewer probably agrees that __________. A. people should run 10,000 meters in winter B. running in winter is good for your heart
C. people who run in winter like to wear thick clothing D. running in cold conditions is better than in warm
31. The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______. A. students that are being discussed B. classes that you study at school C. people that are being tested D. runners that the artists paint 32. What can we infer from the passage? A. Running can help us lose heat.
B. Running in cold weather is beneficial to our body. C. The heat can damage our body.
D. The body does not have to work to pump blood.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce a research on running by Brewer.
B. To explain why running in winter is difficult for people. C. To encourage people to run outside during winter months.
D. To advertise the new websites on running he created. 四、阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
A True Forest of Wonder
Saihanba National Forest Park is lying in Chengde, Hebei.
In Mongolian, Saihanba means “beautiful highland”. It is often called “the Green Lung of north China”. On Dec 5, 2017, the United Nations’ highest environmental honor, the Champions of the Earth Award was given to China’s Saihanba Afforestation Community(塞罕坝林场建设者).
During the Qing Dynasty, it was a royal hunting(打猎) ground and the emperors hunted there almost every year. In 1863, because of a shortage of funds, the Qing Government allowed farmers to use the land here. In the following years, logging and wildfires gradually destroyed the forest and grassland. And forests and wetlands were beginning to disappear. After the Qing Dynasty failed, Saihanba turned into a wasteland.
In the 1960s, Chinese people started to recreate a national forest in Saihanba. In 1961, a group of six scientists traveled through Saihanba and studied the possibility of growing trees there. They finally found one tree standing alone in the vast land, which greatly encouraged them. If one tree could survive there, so could millions of others. They believed they could green the barren desert and turn it into an oasis(绿洲).
Three generations of forest guards have overcome extreme living conditions while protecting the landscape. The weather, in particular, can be intense as highest temperature in the area is around 33 degrees Celsius, while the lowest is around -43 degrees Celsius, and some areas are covered in snow for seven months a year, but others are affected by strong winds and sandstorms. However, through great efforts, it took the forest guards over 55 years to turn the desert into a green land.
Chinese people have created a true wonder in Saihanba over the past half-century. In May 1993, it was designated as a “National Forest Park”. In 2000, it has been categorized as a 5A level tourist site by the China National Tourism Administration. In May 2007, the park was rated as a “National Nature Reserves” by the State Council of China. Today, Sihanba is known as the “Emerald of North China”. It is very important for Beijing’s water and air quality. It is also a natural shield(屏障) that can block sandstorms.
34. Where is Saihanba National Forest Park?
35. When did Chinese people start to recreate a national forest in Saihanba? 36. How long did it take the forest guards to turn the desert into a green land?
