20、oving.C. Positive.D. Unclear.CIn the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athletic talents as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to showcase the “superhuman” power of athletes. Ski jum
21、pers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physles can offer us an explanation of how they make it. It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping w
22、orks, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒), the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it
23、to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, and slows down an objects movement. While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smiths
24、onian Magazine, “To do this, athletes try their best to make their skis and body nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that produces lift and puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize (最大
25、化) lift.”Because of how the sport works, athletes equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day water weigh
26、t changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes (体重指数).11. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in the second paragraph?A. Ski jumping.B. Athletic talent.C. Physical science.D. Superhuman power.12. What contributes in lift
27、 in ski jumping?A. The interaction between force and drag.B. The interaction between gravity and balance.C. The interaction between air particles and gravity.D. The interaction between skiers and air particles.13. What should ski jumpers do in order to achieve the best performance?a. Keep their bodi

Increase the angle as much as possible.A. acB. bcC. cdD. ad14. What is required to ensure fair play in ski jumping?A. Specially made suits.B. Strict control of
