5. Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic（流行
病） of sleepiness in the nation．"I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to, "says Dr David．Even people who think they are sleepi ng enough would probably be better off with more rest．
The beginning of our sleep-
deficit crisis can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century age．From diary e ntries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reac hed the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5hours a night．"The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the f arm, and it was dark．"By the 1950s and 1960s, the sleep schedule had been reduced drama tically, to between 7.5and 8hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock．"People c heat in their sleep, and they don't even realize they're doing it, "says Dr David．"They think t hey're okay because they can get by on 6.5hours, when they really need 7.5, 8or even more to feel ideally energetic．"
Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day．Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community increase, many people consid er sleep the least expensive item on their programme．"In our society, you're considered dy namic if you say you need only 5.5hours'sleep．If you've got to get 8.5hours, people think yo u lack drive and ambition．"
To determine the consequences of sleep-
deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests re quiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier．"We've found that if you're in sleep-
deficit, performance suffers, "says Dr David．"Short-
term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate．"
（1）What is the main topic of the passage？________
A Research on the causes and consequences of sleep-
deficit． B The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times． C The history of peopl e's sleeping patterns． D The minimum of our sleeping hours．
（2）Which of the following is Di David's opinion？________
A People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don't．
B So me people can remain energetic with only 6.
C If they get 8.
D People's mental power suffers if they are lacking in sleep．
（3）People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9.5hours a night because________．A they were forced by their parents to do so． B they knew what was best for their healt h． C they had no electricity． D they were not so dynamic and ambitious as moder n people are．
（4）The major cause of sleep-deficit of modern people is________．
A the endless TV programmes in the evenings and the Internet．
B the pressures of the day．
C the sufficient energy modern people usually have．
D loud noises in moder n cities．
（5）What does the word"subjects"in the last paragraph mean？________
A Persons or things being discussed or described．
B Branched of knowledge studied in a school．
C Persons or things being treated in a certain way or being experimented on ．
D Any member of a state apart from the supreme ruler．
6. LOS ANGELES （Reuters）---
Onions make you cry, add flavor to food and are talked about a lot for their medicinal benefit s．Now the vegetable has another use---powering up green energy．
A new system debuts on Friday that changes onion juice into electricity at Gills Onions, the largest fresh onion processor （加工机） in the United States．
The Oxnard, California-based company expects its new onion-
fueled power to reduce its electric bill by﹩
700, 000 a year and cut its annual greenhouse gas releasing by up to 30, 000 tons．The happ y ending to this green energy tale, however, generated another question: how to get rid of oni on waste．"When we peel an onion, 35 to 40 percent of the onion comes off before we have a usable onion．That's the top, tail and skins around the onion before you get to the meat, "s aid Steven Gill, co-owner of the 25-year-old company．
They used to take the waste to the fields for composting （堆
肥） but that became a problem as it cost too much．Ten years ago, Gill started looking at te chnology for a solution．"We ended up destroying the skins as they c ome out of the plant an d extracting all the juice, which is very high in sugars, and bacteria love it, "Gill said．
In the new system, bacteria produce methane gas（沼
气） from the juice．The gas then goes to two 300 kilowatt fuel cells, creating enough power for 460 homes．The company expects to get 35 to 40 percent of its electricity from this new system．
The company invested﹩9.5 million in the project and will receive﹩
2.7 million from Southern California Gas Co．, a regulated subsidiary of Sempra Energy, as p art of a state program to encourage self-
contained generation by businesses．In addition to cutting its electric bill, the company will save﹩400, 000 in costs of taking the waste to the fields and expects pay-back in six years． The onion grower now has a new goal: to be a zero-waste facility by 2013．
"We wanted to follow it all the way through and make the full circle, "Gill said．
（1）What would be the best title for this passage？________
A Onions are made use of in America now．
B US company finds a new way to reduce co sts．
C Onions are widely used to produce electricity now．
D US company turns oni on juice into electricity．
（2）According to the passage，we can learn that in the past________．
A onion waste was a problem for most people．
B a big part of an onion was wasted．
C onions were mainly used as medicine．
D onions were not liked by most people．
（3）In the new system，onions can be used to produce electricity mainly because________．A the skins of onions can be destroyed easily． B the onion waste is taken to the fields． C a lot of bacteria are put into onions． D bacteria can produce methane gas from o nion juice．
（4）It is implied in the passage that________．
A every family can use onions to produce electricity．
B this new technology is not well received by some people．
C onions have played the most important role in producing p ower．
D using onions to produce electricity will help reduce pollution．
（5）In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage？________
A Science
B Education
C Health
D Agriculture
第二节：信息匹配（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

首先请阅读下列人们在工作和生活中出现的一些身体不适症状：
7. A．How much sleep you need
Sleep cycles & stages，lack of sleep．
Getting the hours you need to sleep consist of a series of distinct cycles and stages that restor e and refresh your body and mind．
Even minimal sleep loss takes a toll on your mood，energy，
efficiency and ability to handle stress．
B．Panic attacks and panic disorder
A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear．Left untreated，
panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems．They may even cause you to w ithdraw from normal activities．But panic is treatable and the sooner you seek helps，
the better．
C．How to stop worrying
Continuous doubts and fears are paralyzing，
not motivating or productive．Worrying can be，when it spurs you to take action，
helpful to solve a problem．You need self-help strategies for anxiety relief．D．Generalizes anxiety disorder
Everyone gets worried sometimes，but if you have a generalized anxiety disorder （GAD），worries and fears are so constant that they interfere with your ability to function and relax．E．What you need to know about anti-anxiety drugs
Under guidance from a health professional，
medication can relieve some of the symptoms of anxiety，but it requires non-
drug treatments to produce lasting changes and continuing relief from anxiety．Medication doesn't cure the underlying problem and is usually not a long-
term solution．Anxiety medications also come with side effects and safety concerns，including the risk of addiction．
F．Understanding stress
Modern life is full of hassles，deadlines，frustrations，and demands．For many people，stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life．Stress isn't always bad．In small doses，
it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best．But when you're c onstantly running in emergency mode，your mind and body pay the price．
以下是相关人物介绍，请把人物与其要求对的身体不适症状匹配起来．
46．Jane seldom goes out．Her heart may pound violently and she may stop breathing．Sh e may feel dizzy and sick to her stomach．She may even feel like she's dying or going crazy．That may even cause her to withdraw from normal activities．With the help of her doctor，she can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of panic and regain control of her life．________ 47．Thomson is a middle-aged architect．He used to be quick-
minded and could come up with good ideas in group meetings．But recently，
he finds it difficult to have a good design and he has much more hesitation before taking acti on，which worried him a lot．After lots of thinking，
Thomson decides to try solving his problem himself first．________
48．James is a 100% workaholic．As the boss of a small firm competing with other big com panies，James feels that he'd better work 24/7 or he may never succeed，or even worse，fail．So he and his employers often work overtime．But lately，
James finds himself not as efficient as before and even dozes off during the day．He is alway s tired and sleepy．Worse still，he is under a lot of stress．________
49．Linda is a single working mum who is showing symptoms of anxiety．She is talking to h er doctor and she is weighing the benefits of taking drugs against its drawbacks．Her doctor insists that other therapies and lifestyle changes may help her．So she must make a careful decision whether to take drugs or change her lifestyle．________

Does Jay Belong in a textbook？
The fact that there are pop lyrics （明星作
品） in textbooks show's that students'tastes are now being considered．
Yin Yue：
Pop singers represent a part of our culture．That popular songs are selected for our books is a sign of progress．What's more，
this move will bring pop culture in contact with traditional culture．
Yu Kuntian：
It's not a bad idea．Pop songs in Chinese textbooks show that the authorities are trying to ca ter for teenagers．It may not have been a good idea to choose Jay Chou （周杰伦），
but it is a start．
Pop songs in textbooks will mislead students．
Li Ning：It's terrible．What we need are classics to improve our literary skills，not badly-written lyrics．As far as I am concerned，they have no place in our formal studies．
Teng Fan：
I don't think it's a good idea．When educators include Jay Chou's songs in Chinese textbooks，they are saying that he represents a literary standard to aspire （渴望） to．Also，
including his lyrics means excluding work of more obvious merits（价值）．

8. On World Reading Day，
we carried out a survey about the reading habits of high school students．（调查内容及时间）According to the survey，
45.75% of the students read books they buy and 8.5% of them download e-
books or read online．【高分句型一】
35.75% of the students borrow books from friends or the library and 11% of them read in th
e school reading-room．（调查结果）
From the survey we can see that the use rate of the school reading-
room is not high enough．（调查反映出的问题）
We suggest that its opening hours be extended and meanwhile bookstores be invited into the school to make it convenient for students to buy books．【高分句型二】（建议）
9. Pop Lyrics in Chinese Textbooks？
Whether the pop lyrics should be in Chinese textbooks has caused great controversy among s tudents．Some believe that including pop lyrics in textbooks can represent the updated cult ure and cater for students while others think pop songs in textbooks will be misleading．（概括）
There is no doubt that the reasons of both sides are reasonable and worth considering．【高
分句型一】
We cannot deny the fact that Chinese textbooks have played an essential role in cultivating st udents'literary abilities，
improving their writing skills and even leading them in moral choices，【高分句型二】
so the educators should rethink before they include the pop lyrics in textbooks．（明星作品
应该被教科书采用）
However，on the other hand，
it is also practical and beneficial for some excellent pop lyrics to be included in Chinese textb ooks．For example，some pop lyrics，like Jay's"Listen to mother's words"，
which are well-written and morally positive，can find an echo among students．【高分句型三】
Such kinds of pop lyrics are surely living up to the standards of being included in Chinese tex tbooks．（原因）
Therefore，I hold the belief that it is not bad to have pop lyrics in textbooks．【高分句型四】Besides，
I also think that the passages which will be chosen into Chinese textbooks can cover a wide r ange of topics so that students can broaden their horizons．【高分句型五】Moreover，
the chosen articles can be closer to our real lives and environment to inspire students'enthus
iasm in life．To draw a conclusion，
I think educators can consider having articles of various topics and styles in textbooks．（个人观点---需要作什么改变）。
