Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn‟t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.“I‟m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier.“I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldi er‟s turn. He said, “I‟m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but....”Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.

Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day. While you sleep, your body temperature drops. Your heart beats more slowly, A chemical that controls growth, which is called a hormone （荷尔蒙）, moves into your bloodstream. Scientists think that sleep brings back energy and improves your immune （免疫）system.Sleep is like a school day: it‟s divided into different stages. When you are awake, your brain waves move quickly. As you begin to relax and fall into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness （意识）of your surroundings （环境）. As you fall into deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back into a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert （警觉的）, and your dreams begin. You are in REM sleep.REM is the name for the rapid eye movement that happens while you are dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind, as though you were watching a movie.Dur ing other stages of sleep, you might move in bed, but during REM sleep you‟re not making any movement. That‟s probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get closer to waking up in the morning, you spend more time in REM sleep than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that deals with learning and thinking is very active.Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours of sleep a night.49.Which is the right order during your sleep?① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life② your brain produces slower-moving waves③ your dreams begin④ you lose awareness of your surroundingsA. ①③②④B. ②④①③C. ④①③②D. ②④③①50.In which of the stage/stages of sleep do you have the most dreams?A. Light sleep.B. Deep sleep.C. REM sleep.D. The first two stages of sleep.51.Which of the following is NOT true?A. You don‟t move while you are dreaming in REM sleep.B. During REM sleep, the whole brain is active.C. The closer to waking in the morning, the more dreams you have.D. Hormones （荷尔蒙）have something to do with your growth.DIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what …keeping up with the Joneses‟ is about, It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.

When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired（雇佣）a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment （公寓房间）in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life-style （生活方式）of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series （系列）of short stories, He called it Keeping up with the Joneses because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. Keeping up with the Joneses came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand‟s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are …Joneses‟ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.52.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.A. want to be as rich as their neighborsB. want others to know or to think that they are richC. don‟t want others to know they are richD. want to be happy53.It can be inferred （推断）from the story that rich people like to _______.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbors54.The underlined （划线的）word “neighborhood” in the second paragraph means _______.A. a person who lives near anotherB. people living in an areaC. an area near the place referred toD. an area in another town or city55.According to the writer, it is _______ to keep up with the Joneses.A. impossibleB. interestingC. correctD. good第四部分：任务型阅读（每小题1分，共10分）Do you find it difficult to learn a foreign language successfully?

The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning!② Listen and read every day!Listen no matter where you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or readingis more effective than many hours of class time.③ Focus on words and phrases!Build up your vocabulary —you‟ll need lots. Starts to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how correctly you speak until you have accumulated （积累）plenty of words through listening and reading.④ Take responsibility （责任）for your own learning!If you do not want to learn the language, you won‟t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent （流利的）, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to .⑤ Relax and enjoy yourself!Do not worry about what you can‟t remember, or can‟t yet understand, or can‟t yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain. So sit back and enjoy.
