So many of us hold on to little resentments that may have stemmed from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle (重新激起) a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine whose health isn’t very good recently told me that she hasn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. “Why not?” I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own.As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, he wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff”in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go as well as the joy of letting others be right. You’ll also notice that as you reach out and let others be “right” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t that’s okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.1. In the sentence “Stubbornly we want for someone else to reach out to us...”the phrase “reach out” is closest in meaning to ______.A. offer helpB. be in pursuit ofC. offer an apologyD. offer one’s hand2. According to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ______.A. she had got an argument with her daughter-in-lawB. she had disagreed about her son’s marriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked her son’s wife for many years3. By telling the story about a mother and her son, the author wants us to learn that ______.A. it’s fine to be the first one to apologizeB. his friend is very stubbornC. if taking the chance we’ll all winD. position is more important than happiness4. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are always right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.5．The purpose of the passage is to ______.A．instruct the readers how to apologizeB．teach the readers how to gain inner peaceC．inform the readers the importance of being forgivingD．tell the readers to reach out first when there is resentment答案：1．[C]词义推断题。

With the possible exception of equal rights，perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent（威慑）to murder，while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty，basically，is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment，that it is the mark of a brutal society，and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway. In our opinion，the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others. For example，it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage，but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus，murder，like all other crimes，is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society，such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example，from 1954 to1963，when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California，the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once，and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100000 population. The sharp climb in the state’s murder rate，which began when executions stopped，is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter manymurderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed，innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.61. The principal purpose of this passage is to .A. speak for the majorityB. initiate a vetoC. criticize the governmentD. argue for the value of the death penalty62. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between .A. the murder rate and the imposition of the death penaltyB. the effects of execution and the effects of isolationC. the importance of equal rights and that of the death penaltyD. executions and murders63. The author’s response to those who urge the death penalty for all degrees of murder would most likely be .A. negativeB. friendlyC. supportiveD. hostile64. In the passage the author is primarily concerned with .A. analyzing a problem objectivelyB. settling a disputeC. supporting a positionD. describing an event65. It can be inferred that the author thinks that .A. the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States todayB. the second type murderers（in Paragraph 4）should be sentenced to deathC. the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceD. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debated答案解析：1.可能除了平等权，如今在美国最有争议的问题就是死刑。

Andrea had never seen an old lady hitchhiking（搭车）before.However，the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady.The old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the car door，and pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet.She said to Andrea，in a voice that was almost a whisper，“Thank you，dearie-I’m just going to Brockbourne”.Something in the way the lady spoke，and the way she never turned her head，made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker.She didn’t know why，but she felt instinctively that there was something...wrong，something odd，something... dangerous.But how could an old lady be dangerous？It was absurd.Careful not to turn her head，Andrea looked sideways at her passenger.She studied the hat，the dirty collar of the dress，the shapeless body，the arms with their thick black hairs...Thick black hairs？Hairy arms？Andrea’s blood froze.This wasn’t a woman.It was a man.At first，she didn’t know what to do.Then suddenly，an idea came into her racing，terrified brain.Swinging the wheel suddenly，she threw the car into a skid （刹车），and brought it to a halt.“My God！”she shouted，“A child！Did you see the child？I think I hit her！”The“old lady”was clearly shaken by the sudden skid，“I didn’t see anything，dearie，”she said.“I don’t think you hit anything.”“I’m sure it was a child！‘insisted Andrea.’Could you just get out and have a look？Just see if there’s anything on the road？”She held her breath.Would her plan work？It did.The passenger slowly climbed out to investigate.As soon as she was out of the vehicle，Andrea gunned the engine and accelerated madly away，and soon she had put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her.Maybe the bag would provide some information about the real identity about the man.Pulling into the side of the road，Andrea opened the heavy bag curiously.It contained only one item——a small hand axe，with a razor-sharp blade.The axe and the inside of the bag were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood. Andrea began to scream.46.Andrea allowed the hitchhiker to take a ride in her car mainly because.A.the hitchhiker was an old womanB.she was curious about the old ladyC.the lady had a heavy bagD.she knew the old lady47.What made Andrea afraid when she looked at the old lady？A.She had a shapeless body.B.She had a harsh voice.C.She wore a dirty dress.D.She had hairy arms.48.Andrea suddenly stopped the car because.A.she thought she had hit a child on the roadB.she skidded on some ice on the roadC.she wanted to trick the passenger into getting outD.she couldn’t concentrate and nearly had a crash49.Andrea looked in the passenger’s bag to.A.examine what was in itB.find out where the passenger livedC.50.A.B.C.D.“我可以肯定那是一个孩子。

The communications explosion is on the scale of the rail, automobile or telephone revolution. Very soon you’ll be able to record your entire life electronically—anything a microphone or a camera can sense you’ll be able to store. In particular, the number of images a person captures in a lifetime is sure to rise dramatically. The thousand images a year I take of my children on a digital camera are all precious to me. In a generation's time, my children's children will have total image documentation of their entire lives—a visual diary of tremendous personal value.In Cambridge, we’re already working on millimeter-square (平方毫米) computing and sensing devices that can be linked to the Internet through the radio network. This sort of connectivity will expand dramatically as tiny communications devices become dirt-cheap and multiply. Just imagine what the paint on the wall could do if it had this sort of communications dust in it: change color, play music, show movies or even speak to you.Falling costs raise other possibilities too. Because launching space vehicles is about to become very much cheaper, the number of satellites is likely to go up greatly. There’s lots of space up there so we could have millions of them. And if you have millions of low-orbit satellites you can establish a global communications network that completely does away with towers and poles.Speech is so flexible that I expect voice communication to become almost free eventually: you’ll pay just a monthly fixed charge and be able to make as many calls as you want. By then people will also have fixed links with business contacts, friends and relatives. One day I anticipate being able to keep in touch with my family in Poland on an optical-fiber audio-video link; we’ll be able to sit down “together”to eat.Cars are an interesting IT-platform because they have big batteries and lots of so far unconnected digital devices. Soon each one will be on the Internet so your children can play games while you’re traveling and your partner can deal with their email. And every lamppost could be on the Internet too—each one with sensors to monitor light, pollution, air quality and traffic flow.1. By saying that he takes many images of his children, the author wants to_______.A. show his great interest in photographyB. compare his own life with his children'sC. display the influence of communications on lifeD. demonstrate the ease of enjoying life electronically2. The author most probably thinks that the communications dust is_______.A. worthlessB. amazingC. smallD. cheap3. Which of the following statements about the low-orbit satellites is true?A. The low-orbit satellites can help reduce the costs of communications network.B. The low-orbit satellites will enable all the communications networks to combine.C. The low-orbit satellites would replace towers and poles functionally.D. There will be more low-orbit satellites than other kinds of satellites.4. According to the passage, an optical-fiber audio-video link can enable us to_______.A. talk and see each other no matter where we areB. eat with our family no matter where we areC. talk or see anyone we want free of chargeD. fred more business partners and friends5. The phrase “each one” (Line 2, Para. 5) can be best replaced by _______.A. each digital deviceB. each carC. each batteryD. each person答案：1．[C]主旨大意题。

同等学力英语阅读理解练习及解析(二)-学苑教育Millions of Americans lie awake at night counting sheep - or have a stiff drin kor pop an allergy pill, hoping it will make them drowsy. But experts agree all that self-medicating is a bad idea, and the causes of chronic insomnia remain mysterious.Almost a third of adults have trouble sleeping, and about 10 percenthave symptoms of daytime impairment that signal true insomnia. Sufferers readi lycite the resulting problems: walking around in a fog, as memory and other cognitive functions slow. Dozingoff at the wheel or at work. Depression. Lack o fenergy. But for all the complaints, scientists know surprisingly little about what causes chronic insomnia, its health consequences and how best to treat it,a panel of specialists brought together by the National Institutes of Health concluded Wednesday.Two things are clear, the panel found: Chronic insomnia is a major publichealth problem. And too many people are using unproven therapies, even while there are a few treatments that do work.The hope is that the report will dispel some of what panelist Dr. Sean Caples of the Mayo Clinic decried as "misinformation and myths."Among the panel's findings:_Cognitive/behavioral therapy - a psychology-based treatment that trains p eople to reduce anxiety and take other sleep-promoting steps - is very effectiv e, and doesn't cause side effects. But it can be hard to findhealth providers trained in the techniques. Insomniacs should check with board-certified sleep specialists and psychologists._Newer prescription sleep pills called Sonata, Ambien and Lunesta work without many of the side-effect concerns of older agents known as benzodiazepin es.One study of Lunesta showed effectiveness with six months of use, but moreresearch on long-term use of all three is needed, as chronic insomnia canlinger for years._The most commonly used treatments are alcohol and over-the-counter sedatin gantihistamines like Benadryl. Alcohol use actually disrupts quality sleep, andantihistamines can cause lingering daytime sedation and other cognitive problem s._The most common prescription insomnia medicine is an older, sedating antidepressant called trazodone, even though there's no good evidence that it offers more than a two-week benefit, and it comes with side effects._There is no evidence backing the effectiveness of the popular dietary supplements melatonin and valerian to fight insomnia.1.One of most effective ways to deal with choric insomnia is_______.A. to have a stiff drinkB. to pop an allegry pillC. to sleep and get up earlyD. Cognitive/behavioral therapy2. Which of the following symptoms does NOT belong to insomnia?A. Walking around in a fogB. Lack of energyC. nap at noonD. cognitive functions loss3. The National Institutes of Health found that ________.A. unproven therapies are commonly used by people.B. chronic insomnia is just a minor healthy problem.C. the side effects of cognitive/behavioral therapy deserve our attentionD. dietary supplements can be introduced to insomnia sufferers4. "over-the-counter" means_______.A. Non-prescriptionalB. counter offeringC. cheap and easy-to-getD. illegal5. From the passage we can infer that ________A. unproven medicines can not treat chronic insomnia at allB. insomnia sufferers have found curable medicinesC. sleep specialists and psychologists can not be trustedD. Chronic insomnia still baffles sleep experts。

For centuries, in the countries of south and Southeast Asia the elephant has been an intimate part of the culture, economy and religion, and nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated (驯化). The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the authority of kingship to its rulers and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western visitors the country's romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”.Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less abandoned by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a westernized society. And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it rates a very low national priority.How this reversal from national icon (圣像) to neglected animal came about is a tale of worsening environmental and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand’s experts on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the century there may well have been as many as 100,000 domestic elephants in the country. In the north of Thailand alone it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 per cent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat (栖息地) that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through dense forest better than a massive but sure-footed elephant.By 1950 the elephant population had dropped to a still substantial 13,397, but today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another 1,350 roaming free in the national parks. But now, Thailand’s forest covers only 20 per cent of the land.This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, so the elephant's role as a beast of burden declined.1. What can we know about African elephants from the passage?A. It is easy to tame them.B. It is hard to tame them.C. They are living a better life than Asian elephants.D. Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants.2. Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because_______.A. white elephant is rarely seen and thus very specialB. white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920sC. white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authorityD. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors3. Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”, according to the author?A. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners.B. Because their owners are westernized and neglect them.C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem.D. Because there are too many elephants and too few jobs.4. Which of the following statements is true about the elephant population at various times?A. There were 100,000 tamed elephants at the turn of the century.B. 20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century.C. By 1950 the elephant population in Thailand has been quite small.D. Today the elephant population is estimated at 5,150.5. The passage is most probably from_______.A. a travel magazineB. a history bookC. a research reportD. an official announcement答案：1．[B]事实细节题。

For thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. As a result, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and silver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modem cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter and injure people. Some glass of this type is strong enough to resist bullets. .Although in recent years plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component narts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.1. With the passage of time, glass_______.A. is regarded as transparentB. is no longer seen as decorationC. is used to make things look pleasantD. is widely used to replace steel in making containers2. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. The war blocked the way of glass import.B. They refused to use the European glass.C. The glass made in Europe was out of date.D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.3.

The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has some notion of its meaning. On the other hand，its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confused，but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible，suppose science is defined as classified knowledge （facts）.Even in the true sciences distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example，hypotheses（假设）and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited（使不相信）. The exacts status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable；he must solve them. Toward that end specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.Actually，two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One，aimedat satisfying curiosity，is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purpose—for instance，improving health，raising standards of living，or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. Chemists responsible for many of the discoveries could hardly have anticipated that their findings would one day result in applications of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discovery of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery of another. Some discoveries seem so simple that one is amazed they were not made years ago；however，one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to precede the discovery of the cell. The host of scientists dedicating their lives to pure science are not apologetic（抱歉）about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries；they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.56. To define science we may simply call it .A. the study of unrelated fieldsB. classified knowledgeC. the study of unrelated subjectsD. an attempt to explain natural phenomena57. Pure science，leading to the construction of a microscope， .A. is not always as pure as we supposeB. necessarily results from applied science and the discovery of a cellC. may lead to antiscientific，“impure”resultsD. necessarily precedes applied science，leading to the discovery of the cell58. A scientist interested in adding to our general knowledge about oxygen would probably call his approach .A. pure scienceB. environmental scienceC. applied scienceD. agricultural science59. Which of the following statements does the author imply？A. In science，it is not difficult to distinguish fact from fiction.B. Practical-minded people can understand the meaning and objectives of pure science.C. Scientists engaged in the theoretical research should not be blamed for ignoring the practical side of their discoveries.D. Today few people have any nation of the meaning of science.60. The best title for the passage is .A. Hypotheses and TheoriesB. On Distinguishing Fact from FictionC. The Nature of Science and ScientistsD. Biology and the Scientific Age答案解析：在现代，人们可以经常听到“科学”这个词，几乎每个人都了解它的意义。

It is all very well to blame traffic jams，the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life，but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. You might tolerate the rude and inconsiderate driver，but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a“Be Kind to Other Drivers”campaign，otherwise，it may get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behaviors. On the other hand，a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However，improper politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child across a crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.A veteran driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if motorists learn to filter correctly into traffic streams without causing the total blockages （堵塞）that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately，modern motorists can’t even learn to drive，let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.51. According to this passage，troubles on the road are primarily caused by .A. people’s attitude towards driversB. the rhythm of modern lifeC. traffic conditionsD. the behavior of the driver52. The sentence“You might tolerate the rude and inconsiderate driver，but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule”implies that .A. our society is unjust towards well-mannered motoristsB. rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motoristsD. the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the rude driver53. By“good sense”（Paragraph 2），the writer means .A. the driver’s prompt response to difficult conditionsB. the driver’s ability to understand and react reasonablyC. the driver’s tolerance of bad road conditionsD. the driver’s acknowledgement of politeness and regulations54. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion， .A. drivers should be ready to yield to one anotherB. road users should make more sacrificesC. drivers should have more communication among themselvesD. drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to others55. In the writer’s opinion .A. drivers should apply road politeness properlyB. strict traffic regulations are badly neededC. rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punishedD. drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams答案解析：指责交通堵塞、油价过高以及现代生活的快节奏是无可厚非的，但是路上的礼节问题正变得让人恐怖。

For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light，shift work，all-night cable TV and the Internet，earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle. Simply，our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.（Contrary to popular belief，humans don’t need less sleep as they age.）But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hour per night，a marked drop from the nine hours they averaged in 1910. What’s worse，nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people，that’s not nearly enough.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and by traveling frequently between time zone or by working nights. Dr. James F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders.“Before we doanything else，we look at their sleep.”Jones says.Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns.“My motto（座右铭）is‘Sleep defensively’.”says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep，even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines-like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day-are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsner，who used to suffer from sleeplessness，a few life style changes—avoiding stimulants and late meals，exercising hours before bedtime，relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.41. What is TRUE of human sleep？A. On average，people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.B. For most people，less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night is enough.C. Most people need less sleep when they grow older.D. Most people need seven and a half hems of sleep every night.42. For our bodies to function properly，we should .A. adjust our activities to the new inventionsB. be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocksC. sleep for at least eight hours per nightD. believe that we need less sleep as we age43. According to the author，many sleeping disorders are caused by .A. improper sleep patternsB. chronic fatigue syndromeC. other diseasesD. pre-bedtime exercises44. Which of the following measures can help you sleep better？A. Having late meals.B. Traveling between time zones.C. Staying up late.D. Taking a hot bath.45. “Sleep defensively”means that .A. people should sacrifice other things to getting enough sleep if necessaryB. people should give up going to bed and getting up at the same time every dayC. people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosedD. people should exercise immediately before going to bed every night答案解析：在电灯、轮换工作、通宵有线电视和因特网出现之前的数百万年里，地球上的生物以可预言的、确定的24小时节奏演变进化着。
我们的生物钟就是为这样的日常循环而设置的。
简单地说，我们的身体需要在夜晚休息，白天清醒。
大多数男女每天晚上需要八到八个半小时的休息时间以保证使他们的生活正常进行（与流行的观念相反，人并不是变老以后需要的睡眠就减少了）。
但是，美国人平均每晚的睡眠时间只有大约七个半小时，比1910年的平均九小时时间大大减少了，更糟的是，在典型的加班夜，几乎有1/3的美国人只有不到六个小时的睡眠时间。
对于大多数人来说，那是远远不够的。
找到能够睡得更长、更好的方法可能是个挑战。
科学家已经分辨出超过80种不同的睡眠紊乱症。
有些睡眠紊乱症是遗传的。
但是，许多问题是由于睡得太晚或经常在不同时差的地区之间旅行或上夜班导致的。
在丹佛市国家犹太人医学和研究中心工作的詹姆斯·艾福·琼斯医生说，睡眠紊乱症常常被诊断为其他不适症。
在他的那些可能患有慢性疲劳综合征的病人中，有1/3的人实际上患的是可治疗睡眠紊乱症。
琼斯说：“在我们做任何其他事情之前，我们要先看一下他们的睡眠情况。
”睡眠专家说，大多数人可以从仔细观察自己的睡眠姿势中受益。
布朗大学的玛丽卡斯克顿说：“我的座右铭是‘保护性地睡眠’。
”人们需要足够的时间来睡觉，即使这意味着要放弃其他事情。
睡眠安排，比如每天在相同的时间睡觉、起床非常重要。
睡前的活动也会带来不同的影响。
如以前遭受过失眠困扰的艾拉勒，改变了一些生活习惯，避免刺激性食物和吃夜宵，睡觉前运动几小时，洗个热水澡放松一下就会获得很好的睡眠。
41. 【正确答案】A【考点类型】细节判断【解析过程】关于人类睡眠下面哪句是对的？A. 一般来讲，今天美国人睡的时间比他们过去要少。
B. 对大多数人来说，一个典型的加班工作少于6小时的睡眠是足够的。
C. 大多数人的年龄越大，需要的睡眠越少。
D. 大多数人每晚需要七个半小时的睡眠。
线索：文章的第2段提到“But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hour per night，a marked drop from the nine hours they averaged in 1910.”表明A是正确答案。
B选项和原文的内容相反“...get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people，that’s not nearly enough.”C选项和文章的整个内容不符合。
