From babies to body builders, we all have muscles. They grow, they bulge(鼓起), they stretch they stretch and sometimes they even painfully pull. But for all the work they do for us, we are still unable to crown one as "the strongest muscle."
Instead, a few muscles could claim the title, depending on how strength is measured.
If the title goes to the muscle that can exert(產(chǎn)生) the most force, the victor would be the soleus(小腿肚肌), according to Gray's Anatomy(解剖學). Without this muscle, we wouldn't be able to stand, walk, run or shake our bodies on the dance floor. If the soleus was not continuously pulling, we would always be falling over ourselves (although some of us tend to do that from time to time anyway).
But perhaps the title should go to the muscle that exerts the most pressure. Pressure is different from force — pressure takes into account the area over which a force is exerted. The muscle that takes the prize for delivering the greatest amount of pressure is the masseter, or the jaw muscle, according to the book "Clinical Oral Science" (Reed Educational and Professional Publishing, 1998).
In 1986, Richard Hofmann of Lake City, Fla., achieved a bite strength of 975 pounds (442 kilograms) for two seconds, setting a Guinness Record. Talk about jaw dropping! The jaw is able to clench(咬緊) and chew because of the masseter muscle.
Others may argue the muscles used in childbirth are the most powerful.
When it comes to versatility, perhaps the tongue is the strongest muscle. Its combination of elasticity(伸縮性) and forcefulness gives us the ability to speak, eat and kiss – all things very desirable on a first date. However dexterous(靈巧的) it may be though, its power does not match that of muscles such as the soleus.
If slow and steady wins the race, the heart is certainly a contender for the title. When it contracts, the muscle pumps about 2 ounces (59 milliliters) of blood, and is constantly working over a lifetime. Beating about 40 million times a year, a person's heart will beat approximately 2.5 billion times by the time of their 70th birthday.
【小題1】According the passage, the underlined word “contender” in the last paragraph is closet in meaning to “ ”.
A.failure | B.partner | C.muscle | D.competitor |
A.What’s the strongest muscle in the human body? |
B.who is the strongest person in the world? |
C.What are the functions of different muscles? |
D.What are the standards of the strongest muscle? |
A.Without the soleus, we could still stand, walk, run or shake our bodies on the dance floor |
B.a(chǎn) few muscles could be the winners, according to different measures |
C.the muscles used in childbirth are the most powerful |
D.tongue is the strongest muscle for delivering the greatest amount of pressure |
A.Another possible strongest muscle. | B.the conclusion of the strongest muscle. |
C.The functions of different muscles. | D.the Guinness record of strongest muscle. |

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆福建省高一下學期期中考試英語試題(必修Ⅲ) 題型:閱讀理解
Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of becoming old and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it’s got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter made banana bread for the neighbors and had her children send it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been lonely, "the reporter said.
The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (an organization where old people are cared for) when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.
1.Now in an American family, people can find that___________.
A. children never live with their parents
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. old people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
2. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _______.
A. they had never seen a baby before
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby's mother would take care of them
3. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting ?
A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.
B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
C . Because they have nothing to worry about.
D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
4. Which of the following can show the fact that the old often save the young?
A. The old can become friends of the children and the children may not feel lonely.
B. The old get excited when they see a baby.
C. The old can cure the young when they are sick.
D. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

科目:高中英語 來源:20102011學年度遼寧省高一下學期期中考試英語試題 題型:閱讀理解
When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?
A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers---free of charge--- for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.
Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and they’ll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.”
The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.”
In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.
1. The best title for the passage is __________.
A. Question Box ----taking the place of the Internet
B. Needing an answer? ----asking Question Box
C. Question Box ----A great invention in the world
D. Rose Shuman----- A professor helping the poor
2. In Rose Schuman’s opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that______.
A. It is the most advanced in the world
B. It is more convenient to carry.
C. It is much easier to use
D. it saves much more energy
3.The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to______.
A. the users B. the operators
C. the researchers D. Question Box workers
4.What can we know from the passage?
A. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.
B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language.
C. Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.
D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.
