Why Do Many Female Athletes Fall Victim to Knee Injuries?
Rebecca Lobo, a basketball star, grabbed a rebound during the first seconds of game in June 1999. (1) . A pain shot from her knee and drove Lobo to the floor. Tests revealed that Lobo had tom her anterior cruciate (十字的,交叉的) ligament (韧带), or ACL, resulting in the end of her play for the season. (2) .
Lobo, perhaps the most recognized player in the United States, is one of a growing number of female athletes suffering ACL injuries. Experts say that female athletes in middle school, high school, college and professional sports may be eight times as likely as male athletes to experience ACL injury.
(3) . Why are so many female athletes falling victim to ACL injuries?
Sports physicians say one reason is the growing number of females involved in high-impact sports, such as soccer and basketball. Jeff Bauer, a biochemist, however, thinks bone size plays a key role. He examined the knee joints of skeletons of 200 humans who had died at an early age.
Studies of the skeletons of 100 males and 100 females showed in measurement after measurement that the bones making up a female’s knee are smaller than those of a male of the same size. Smaller bone surfaces may lead to an increase in stress placed on the ACL during sharp movements, such as turning, jumping, or stopping.
Bauer thinks the size difference may be the primary reason that females injure their knees more often than males do with the same amount of training and experience. "Now, that’s not bad, "adds Bauer, "and it’s not good. It’s just different."
Following the knee injury, Lobo underwent surgery. (4) . After the surgery, the patient needs months of physical therapy to strengthen the knee muscles and ligaments. Eight months after having knee surgery, the patient still needs to exercise her knee every day.
(5) . They also recommend that players do stretching exercises before a game or a practice to help keep the knees flexible and more able to withstand stress during play.
A. When she landed, she tried to stand firm but couldn’t.
B. One of the more common techniques used to repair a torn ACL involves replacing the entire ligament.
C. Sports injury experts say knee exercises may help protect knees from ACL injury.
D. Practice before and after a game is a good way to avoid injuries to knees.
E. Thousands of female athletes have suffered a fate similar to Rebecca’s.
F. The ACL is a short band of tissue that keeps the knee stable during movement.
选项
答案
A
解析
因为空格1和空格2位于同一段落,所以可以考虑能否找到段落中心句。但是段首句是一个举例句,而空格2就是段木句。因为段落中Lobo反复出现,因此而推测该段的中心是对Rebecca Lobo进行介绍,而备选项中涉及到Lobo的只有A和E。首先重点注意这两个选项。空格1的前句说“Lobo在开赛的前几秒中抢到了蓝板球”,空格后句说“从膝盖传来了疼痛,Lobo摔倒在地上”,这些都是在对具体细节进行描述,因此判断A(细节描述句)是答案。
提示:物以类聚——相似的结构,相同的词语/词义相近的同语往往“聚在一起”形成排比结构,如都是观点句、举例句等。
