Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock可知改变我们的睡眠模式可能变得不健康；故选A．（2）D．态度判断题．根据文章Jim Horne， one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University， says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep， so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in可知吉姆•霍恩对周末卧床的态度是支持的；故选D．（3）A．词义猜测题．根据文章Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends，so we shouldn’t stop doingit可知担心对睡眠有害，我们自然会通过周末躺在床上来弥补一周没有得到足够的休息，所以我们不应该停止这样做；意为多睡；故选A．（4）D．推理判断题．根据文章Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep可知从课文中可以推断出睡眠不足可能是由压力引起的；故选D．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Over the course of my life， I come to realize we will have unpleasant feelings from time to time． Our loved ones will pass away， our friends and families will disappoint us， and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated．（1）_______ I have experienced a lot and find out some effective ways to help express our feelings．（2）_______ When expressing strong feelings， many people intend to start talking over the other person instead of listening to what he or she is saying． If you do so，you won’t have the possibility of clearing up any misunderstandings．Exercise to help deal with depression． Despite the commonly held belief that people needto let off their anger to help reduce its damaging effects， research indicates that this method is not helpful and can actually increase anger． However， exercise is very effective at relieving symptoms of sadness and anxiety．（3）_______Allow yourself to cry． Crying is viewed as a sign of weakness in some cultures．（4）_______Many people end up feeling better after crying， especially if they are in a secure environment around loved ones．Try

AOU supports open learningThe Opening University calls it “OU supports open learning”. It s a method of distance learning that s accessible to everybody living in the European Union. There are also a number of courses which can be followed online by those outside these countries.◆ Teaching SupportAn Opening University student works within a small group who are in communication with their tutor by post, fax, telephone and e-mail.

Students in the United Kingdom usually have an opportunity of attending day schools, which bring the group together with the tutor at the specific phases of the course, for the purpose of group tutoring.◆ Course MaterialsThe Open University learning materials consist of textbooks prepared for each course as well as assignment sheets. Many students have a PC with software, audio and video cassettes.◆ Television: OU, the Learning ZoneThe Opening University works in cooperation with the BBC in the making of programs that will assist many students in the courses. Known as the Learning Zone, this series of programs can be viewed live by students in the UK; students in other countries can receive the programs on video.◆ Computers and the Open UniversityComputers are a basic part of many Open University studies. They are available for rental to students studying at Level One courses such as “Using Mathematics”, “You, Your Computer and the Net”, and “Discovering Science”. The Open University believes in the importance of acquiring computer skills, many of which will be valuable after the student has completed the course.21.What do we know about the Opening University?A.It focuses most on computer skills.B.It provides students courses online.C.It only intends for students in Britain.D.It assists the BBC to arrange special courses.22.Students in the UK attending day schools of the Opening Universitycan .A.be tutored in groupsB.celebrate their graduationsC.mark the others homeworkD.have a teamwork with the BBC23.What is the purpose of the text?A.To advertise special computer skills in the university.B.To introduce open learning from the Opening University.C.To show alternative courses from the Opening University.D.To tell about assignment sheets in the university textbooks.BLast year my daughter and I rescued several hurt street baby dogs and we had the homeless dog vaccinated (接种疫苗) and taken in by a local animal rescue center here in Mumbai, India where we live as foreigners. We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. Wepiled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back. May all the sick and injured animals be relieved of their suffering.24.Why did the author plan a Saturday visit to the shelter?A.To apply to be a real social volunteer.B.To build up homes for homeless dogs.C.To do more work for homeless animals.D.To attend her daughter s gatherings with friends.25.According to the second paragraph, .A.not all of the hurt animals in the shelter could keep aliveB.the author s daughter finally accepted social invitationsC.the author merely fed sick dogs with his daughter and friendsD.most hurt animals in the shelter have a 50% chance of being alive26.What moved the author most while volunteering?A.The animals led a happy life in the shelter.B.The workers showed deep love to the animals.C.The workers were paid nothing to do their work.D.Many healthy animals would come back to the streets.27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The schedule of the author s daughter.B.The author s wish to return to care animals.C.The reasons for the author s daughter missing her social date.D.The feelings of the father and daughter as volunteers in the shelter.CA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the world s top 10 universities for global CEOs?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.29.What does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesD.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?D“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it s a work or non-work day, it s an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone s developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32.What s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Horne s attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early.pensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One week.BMany of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. Thesecolorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberriescontain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries areparticularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high inthe carotenoids we turn into Vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so deliciouswho care? However, they are rich in Vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick,cooling fruits shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are muchsweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of freshlemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, dependingon their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a“Soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they lovefeeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?建议收藏下载本文，以便随时学习！A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.25.

A health magazine.C. A research paper. C. A travel brochure.CTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session had declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.At the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take the chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A. Children’s reading habits.B. Quality of children’s books.C. Children’s after-class activities.D. Parent-child relationships.29.

Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A. E-books are of poor quality.B. It could be a waste of time.C. It may harm children’s health.D. E-readers are expensive.31. How should parents encourage their children to read more?A. Act as role models for them.B. Ask them to write book reports.C. Set up reading groups for them.D. Talk with their reading class teachers.DWe’ve been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It is possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indian University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop.

The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” say Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who research out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.

guests on the sofa every morning，but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role ﹣showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget．In Save Money：Good Food，she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste，while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day．And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home，preparing meals for sons，Sam，14，Finn，13，and Jack，11．"We love Mexican churros，so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，'' she explains，"I pay £5 for a portion（一份），but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour，water，sugar and oil．Everybody can buy takeaway food，but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves．"The eight﹣part series （系列节目），Save Money：Good Food，follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money：Good Health，which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market．With food our biggest weekly household expense．Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week．In

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages todisappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue to use them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumptionand contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

grow quickly，especially their feet，but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them．As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids ﹣a shoe that grows with the child．Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows．He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long．"It grows in three places：the front；it can also grow on the side with Velcro；and on the back with our buckle．It can last up to five years．The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high﹣quality leather．" Theshoe comes in two sizes：small that fits children aged 4to 9and large for children aged 9to 14．Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me．And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were．They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？"However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．"I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that．"Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non﹣profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．"I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done．So，those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years．"24．Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes？A．They are more expensive．B．They are not so

does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office？A．To remind him of his promise．B．To copy the design of them．C．To get a change conveniently．D．To use them as an example．28．I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting．But where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of "waits"．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched﹣Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched﹣Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．"Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky﹣Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the Lucky﹣Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．28．While doing a Watched﹣Pot Wait，we tend to ．A．keep ourselves busyB．get absent﹣mindedC．grow anxiousD．stay focused29．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched﹣Pot Wait？A．The Forced Wait requires some self﹣control．B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．C．The Watched﹣Pot Wait needs directions．D．The Watched﹣Pot Wait engages body and brain．30．What can we learn about the Lucky﹣Break Wait？A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B．It doesn't always bring the desired result．C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D．It doesn't give people faith and hope．31．The author supports his view by ．A．exploring various causes of "waits"．B．describing detailed processes of "waits"．C．analyzing different categories of "waits"D．revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"32．A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk，which contained 10times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar﹣free and additive﹣free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night．32．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk ．A．started sleep more easilyB．were more anxiousC．were less activeD．woke up later33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text？A．It's been tested on mice for ten times．B．It can make people more energetic．C．It exists in milk in great amount．D．It's used in sleeping drugs．34．What can be a suitable title for the text？A．Night Milk and SleepB．Fat，Sugar and HealthC．An Experiment on MiceD．Milk Drinking and Health35．How does the author support the theme of the text？A．By giving examples．B．By stating arguments．C．By explaining statistical data．D．By providing research results．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．Every animal sleeps，but the reason for this has remained foggy．When lab rats are not allowed to sleep，they die within a month．（36）One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories．（37）We know that，while awake，fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing （加强）connections between brain cells，but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear．Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神经元）in the brain can be weakened overnight，making room for fresh memories to form the next day．（38）Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right．（39）The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep，showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping．If Tononi's theory is right，it would explain why，when we miss a night′s，we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information ﹣our brains may have smaller room for new experiences．Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner．The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size．（40）"You keep what matters，" Tononi says．A．We should also try to sleep well the night before．B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories．C．Similarly，when people go for a few days without sleeping，they get sick．D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories．E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep afterlearning．F．"Sleep is the price we pay for learning，" says Giulio Tononi，who developed the idea．G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections，or synapses，in the brains of 12mice．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（共20

to 14 可知，这款鞋子是专为4至14岁的孩子设计的，并不是针对所有的青少年，B项符合题意．故正确答案为B．26．B．主旨题．根据第四段第一句Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya 以及随后Lee 说的话可知，本段主要是讲Lee 的灵感来源．B项意为"Lee 如何得到他的灵感"，符合题意．A、C、D项在第四段中均未提及．故正确答案为B．27．A．细节题．根据最后一段第四句In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise

ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of "waits"．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched﹣Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched﹣Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．"Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky﹣Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following thedirections on soup mixes，but the Lucky﹣Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．28．While doing a Watched﹣Pot Wait，we tend to B ．A．keep ourselves busyB．get absent﹣mindedC．grow anxiousD．stay focused29．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched﹣Pot Wait？AA．The Forced Wait requires some self﹣control．B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．C．The Watched﹣Pot Wait needs directions．D．The Watched﹣Pot Wait engages body and brain．30．What can we learn about the Lucky﹣Break Wait？ BA．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B．It doesn't always bring the desired result．C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D．It doesn't give people faith and hope．31．The author supports his view by C ．A．exploring various causes of "waits"．B．describing detailed processes of "waits"．C．analyzing different categories of "waits"D．revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"【考点】OB：人生感悟类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心．【解答】BDBC28．B．细节理解题．根据第二段There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks可知当我们盯着罐子看的时候，我们倾向于心不在焉；故选B．29．A．细节理解题．根据第三段After all，Forced Waiting requires patience可知强迫等待与被监视的等待的区别是强迫等待需要一些自制力；故选A．30．B．细节理解题．根据文章Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen可知幸运的等待并不总是带来预期的结果；故选B．31．C．推理判断题．根据文章To understand the issue，let's take a look at three typesof"waits可知作者证明自己的观点通过分析不同类别的"等待；故选C．32．A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk，which contained 10times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar﹣free and additive﹣free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night．32．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk B ．A．started sleep more easilyB．were more anxiousC．were less activeD．woke up later33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text？ D A．It's been tested on mice for ten times．B．It can make people more energetic．C．It exists in milk in great amount．D．It's used in sleeping drugs．34．What can be a suitable title for the text？ AA．Night Milk and SleepB．Fat，Sugar and HealthC．An Experiment on MiceD．Milk Drinking and Health35．How does the author support the theme of the text？ DA．By giving examples．B．By stating arguments．C．By explaining statistical data．D．By providing research results．【考点】O6：社会文化类阅读．【分析】本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠．【解答】BDAD32．B．细节理解题．由第四段第一句"Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime"可知，那些喝了白天产的牛奶的老鼠比喝晚上产的牛奶的老鼠要更活跃和焦虑．故正确答案为B．33．D．细节理解题．由第二段"Researchers have discovered that'night milk'contains more melatonin，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety"可知，褪黑色素可以使人有困意，因此可以用于安眠药中，D项正确．C项，"褪黑激素使得人们更加有能量"，与文中所提到的褪黑激素使老鼠变得没有活力不符，C项错误；B项，"牛奶中有很多褪黑激素"，由第三段第一句"Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin"可知晚上产的牛奶中存在很多褪黑色素而不是所有牛奶，B项错误．A项，"褪黑激素在老鼠身上测试过10次"，文章未提及，A项错误；故正确答案为D．34．A．主旨大意题．本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠，故正确答案为A．35．D．细节理解题．由文章第二段"Researchers have discovered that'night milk'contains more melatonin …"和倒数第二段"Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．"可知，作者通过提供调查结果来阐明整篇文章主旨．故正确答案为D．。

An article published in the prestigious scientific journalNaturesheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article,Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances.But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for manykilometers, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs

Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more

Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside.“There's got to be a million dollars here!” Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred-dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. “More like thousands,” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money--- buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.They finally reached Amy’s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total was $2400--- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. “I wonder who lost it.”Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.24. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?A. In an alley.B. In a backpack.C. Among some flowers.D. On the sidewalk.25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking?A. She was afraid that they would be seen by others.B. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollars.C. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else.D. She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money.26. On their way to Amy’s house, the children's mood changed from____.A. excited to suspiciousB. happy to angryC. relieved to worriedD. nervous to disappointed27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?A. To keep the money a secret from others.B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner.C. To put the wallet back where they found it.D. To buy many different things with the money.CAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article, Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and thatrunning is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometers, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogsBramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders, virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. “What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,” says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them.“Research on the history of humans’ ability to move has traditionally been controversial,”says Lieberman. “At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are.”28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It has played an important role in human evolution.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors?A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to look from side to side.D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC. often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD. developed their hunting skills by running long distances31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________.A. completely explain how running developedB. revolutionize the theory of human evolutionC. encourage more in-depth studies on the topicD. be widely supported within the scientific communityDScientists have solved the mystery of whythe overwhelming majority of mammothfossils(化石)are male.Much like wild elephants today, youngmale Ice Age mammoths probably travelledaround alone and more often got themselvesinto risky situations where they were swept intorivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes orsinkholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger.“Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes,”said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia. Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth “We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record,”said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.“Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived,” explained Dalen.“It is highly likely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.”These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.A. figure headB. female leaderC. experienced animalD. mature mammoth33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilized bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to females.C. Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?A. The increasing competition for food.B. The cooling of the earth's temperature.C. The disappearance of male mammoths.D. The risky behavior of younger mammoths.35. What is the text type of the passage?A. A newspaper article.B. An academic essay.C. A historical description.D. A science fiction story.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2018年广东省东莞市高考英语二模试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．21．21．When will the job start？A．In May 2016．B．In May 2017．C．In September 2016．D．In September 2017．22．Who is more likely to get the job？A．Sam，English major，member of the college basketball team．B．Judy，IT staff with night classes，children's basketball team coach．C．Ted，computer major，basketball fan，free on evenings and weekends．D．Molly，part﹣time programmer，high school basketball player，new mother．23．Whom should you contact if you want to apply for the job in Rockville？A．Michael．B．Jorge．C．Gauri．D．Gary．24．Children grow quickly，especially their feet，but many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them．As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids ﹣a shoe that grows with the child．Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows．He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long．"It grows in three places：the front；it can also grow on the side with Velcro；and on the back with our buckle．It can last up to five years．The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high﹣quality leather．" Theshoe comes in two sizes：small that fits children aged 4to 9and large for children aged 9to 14．Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me．And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were．They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？"However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．"I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that．"Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non﹣profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．"I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done．So，those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years．"24．Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes？A．They are more expensive．B．They are not so comfortable．C．They can grow with a child．D．They come in different sizes．25．Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for？A．All the teenagers．B．Children aged 4to 14．C．Middle﹣aged women in Africa．D．Senior citizens with low income．26．What does Para．4mainly talk about？A．How the shoes work．B．How Lee got his inspiration．C．How to make the new shoes．D．Where to order this kind of shoes．27．Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office？A．To remind him of his promise．B．To copy the design of them．C．To get a change conveniently．D．To use them as an example．28．I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting．But where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of "waits"．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched﹣Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched﹣Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．"Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky﹣Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the Lucky﹣Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．28．While doing a Watched﹣Pot Wait，we tend to ．A．keep ourselves busyB．get absent﹣mindedC．grow anxiousD．stay focused29．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched﹣Pot Wait？A．The Forced Wait requires some self﹣control．B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．C．The Watched﹣Pot Wait needs directions．D．The Watched﹣Pot Wait engages body and brain．30．What can we learn about the Lucky﹣Break Wait？A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B．It doesn't always bring the desired result．C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D．It doesn't give people faith and hope．31．The author supports his view by ．A．exploring various causes of "waits"．B．describing detailed processes of "waits"．C．analyzing different categories of "waits"D．revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"32．A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk，which contained 10times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar﹣free and additive﹣free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night．32．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk ．A．started sleep more easilyB．were more anxiousC．were less activeD．woke up later33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according

children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids ﹣a shoe that grows with the child．Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows．He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long．"It grows in three places：the front；it can also grow on the side with Velcro；and on the back with our buckle．It can last up to five years．The bottom is compressed rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high﹣quality leather．" The shoe comes in two sizes：small that fits children aged 4to 9and large for children aged 9to 14．Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"…and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me．And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were．They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？"However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．"I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that．"Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non﹣profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．"I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done．So，those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years．"24．Which of the following is the characteristic

ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of "waits"．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched﹣Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched﹣Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．"Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky﹣Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following thedirections on soup mixes，but the Lucky﹣Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．28．While doing a Watched﹣Pot Wait，we tend to B ．A．keep ourselves busyB．get absent﹣mindedC．grow anxiousD．stay focused29．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched﹣Pot Wait？AA．The Forced Wait requires some self﹣control．B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．C．The Watched﹣Pot Wait needs directions．D．The Watched﹣Pot Wait engages body and brain．30．What can we learn about the Lucky﹣Break Wait？ BA．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B．It doesn't always bring the desired result．C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D．It doesn't give people faith and hope．31．The author supports his view by C ．A．exploring various causes of "waits"．B．describing detailed processes of "waits"．C．analyzing different categories of "waits"D．revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"【考点】OB：人生感悟类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心．【解答】BDBC28．B．细节理解题．根据第二段There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks可知当我们盯着罐子看的时候，我们倾向于心不在焉；故选B．29．A．细节理解题．根据第三段After all，Forced Waiting requires patience可知强迫等待与被监视的等待的区别是强迫等待需要一些自制力；故选A．30．B．细节理解题．根据文章Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also

nod off﹣if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk，which contained 10times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar﹣free and additive﹣free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night．32．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk B ．A．started sleep more easilyB．were more anxiousC．were less activeD．woke up later33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text？ D A．It's been tested on mice for ten times．B．It can make people more energetic．C．It exists in milk in great amount．D．It's used in sleeping drugs．34．What can be a

melatonin"可知晚上产的牛奶中存在很多褪黑色素而不是所有牛奶，B项错误．A项，"褪黑激素在老鼠身上测试过10次"，文章未提及，A项错误；故正确答案为D．34．A．主旨大意题．本文主要讲了在老鼠身上做了实验得知晚上产的牛奶中含有更多褪黑色素，有助于睡眠，故正确答案为A．35．D．细节理解题．由文章第二段"Researchers have discovered that'night
