before Floyd as a result of police
brutality
.

The demonstrations (
示威游行
) began in Minneapolis and spread like wildfire across the
US—
Los
Angeles,
Atlanta, Washington,
DC, Miami,
New York City
and Chicago all saw
crowds demonstrating. Many protests were peaceful, with people holding “Black Lives Matter”
and “I can’t breathe” signs, shouting loudly and armed with face masks for protection against
coronavirus. But some groups turned violent over the weekend, setting fires to buildings and
police cars, breaking through windows of businesses, looting (
抢劫
) and fighting with police
forces.
Police
responded
forcefully,
shooting
tear
gas
and
rubber
bullets
at
the
crowds
and
arresting
hundreds
throughout
the
countries.
In
New
York
City,
a
police
vehicle
was
seen
driving through a crowd of protesters.
In Atlanta, two officers were fired after their violent
arrest of two college students was caught on video. It’s still unclear what the coming days will
look like.

To help control the violence, at least 40 cities
lawfully established curfews (
宵禁
) and
more than a dozen governors organized National Guard army. In the nation’s capital, a similar
scene. Just before 8 p.m. Sunday night, armed officers and protesters remained in a standoff in
downtown Washington as crowds threw water bottles at police and police responded with flash
bangs and pepper spray. In New York, a group of protesters remained in Manhattan as night fell,
facing off with police after several fires were set and some stores were looted. Officials in
several cities have warned that those who are looting stores and creating scenes of chaos are
not there to protest Floyd’s death.

24.

A. thoughtful assistance

C. violent treatment or behavior

25.

What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.

The protests will end in a few days.

Race
walking
shares
many
fitness
benefits
with
running,
research
shows,
while
most
likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.

Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer
Olympics is the 50
-
kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon.
But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg
swing and one foot remain in contact (
接触
) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form
that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant
professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.

Like
running,
race
walking
is
physically
demanding,
she
says,
According
to
most
calculations,
race
walkers
moving
at
a
pace
of
six
miles
per
hour
would
burn
about
800
calories(
卡路里
) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,

although
fewer than running, which would
probably
burn
about
1,000 or more calories per
hour.

However,
race
walking
does
not
pound
the
body
as
much
as
running
does,
Dr.
Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times
their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about
1.4 times their body weight with each step.

As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee,
are
uncommon
among
race
walkers.
But
the
sport’s
strange
form
does
place
considerable
stress
on
the
ankles
and
hips,
so
people
with
a
history
of
such
injuries
might
want
to
be
cautious in adopting the sport. In fact,
anyone wishing to try race walking should probably
first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some
practice.

28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?

A. They must run long distances.

B. They are qualified for the marathon.

C. They have to follow special rules.

D. They are good at swinging their legs.

29. What advantage does race walking have over running?

A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.

B. It’s less challenging physically.

C. It’s more effective in body building.

D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.

30. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
