阅读下面短文，从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A
There are new findings that not enough sleep may cause people to gain weight. Researchers say a lack of sleep can produce hormonal(激素的) changes that increase feelings of hunger.
In one study, researchers in the United States examined information on more than 1000 people. The people had taken part in a long-term study of sleep disorders.
Some people slept less than five hours a night. They had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours. And they had 15 percent less of the hormone
leptin. Experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry; leptin makes you feel full.
The scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesity in Western societies. They note the combination that sleep limitation is common and food is widely available.
The results were not affected by how much people exercised. People who are awake longer have more time to burn energy. But the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially for high-calorie foods, so people gain weight. It seems that, for survival, the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep.
Researchers from Stanford University in California and the University of Wisconsin did the study. They found that the best amount of sleep for weight control is 7.7 hours a night.
The Public Library of Science published the findings in its journal Medicine . Internet users can read the full study, free of charge, at plos. org.
56 Not enough sleep can cause obesity by ______.
A. burning more of your energy
B. making you want to eat more food
C. keeping you from doing exercise
D. helping you feel great without food
57. Which would be a point supported by the reported findings?
A.The more you sleep, the farther away you are from obesity.
B.Those who don’t sleep at all are the most likely to put on weight.
C.Sleeping contributes more to obesity than eating.
D.It’s not wise to use sleep hours for exercise.
58. When you sleep 7.7 hours a night, you will ______ .
A.have your ghrelin level rise and leptin level drop
B.have your leptin level rise and ghrelin level drop
C.have your ghretin and leptin levels properly balanced
D.have your hunger increase and your weight decrease
59. The writer wrote this passage to _______ .
A. make a news report
B. offer a piece of medical advice
C. make an advertisement
D. keep a record of the old findings
60. You can read the findings________.

B
People seem to always love themselves. When put to a test, we are willing to go an extra mile for our friends.
In an experiment, people were asked to squat (深蹲) against a wall, which became increasingly painful with time. They were told to keep squatting for as long as they could, and paid 1 dollar for every second. People performed the exercise five times, once for themselves and four times for their friends or partners.
The result paints a more selfless picture of society than we might expect these days. Of the 17 people, ten squatted longer for their friends or partners. Some people squatted twice as long for their closest friends as for themselves.
Dr Freya Harrison said, "I think that if our results stand in general and people really do go the extra mile for close friends, it points to the importance of cooperation in our species. It suggests that keeping social relationships and ' working together have been important roles in the success of humans as a species."
A study found people were unwilling to squat any longer for their brothers or sisters than for themselves. "Maybe that's because friends are a lot more important in deciding social benefits than brothers and sisters，" Dr Harrison said. Perhaps we can depend on help from parents or brothers and sisters because people almost have no reason for helping someone who has the same genes (基因) as them.
It could be that the role of a brother or a sister doesn't need working on, because family members have genes in common already.
61. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It isn't hard for people to squat for a long time.
B. People don' t like to take part in this kind of experiment.
C. The result of the experiment is better than expected.
D. In order to get money, people squat as long as possible for themselves.
62. From the experiment, we can know .
A. the importance of working together
B. people are unwilling to help strangers
C. friends can become a great help to us in the future
D. people are willing to do more for friends than for themselves
63. What works as a key role in the success of humans as a species?
A. Developing personal skill and technology.
B. Keeping social relationships and cooperation.
C. Getting enough daily goods and supplies.
D. Having a happy family as well as a career.
64. In Harrison’s opinion, _.
A. friends can influence our social benefits much more
B. friends are true friends for ever
C. family members offer more to us than friends
D. people are selfish
65. What is the best tittle for the passage?
A. Why we should make friends.
B. Family is important to people.
C. Friends are more important than family.
D. Why we’ll go an extra mile for our friends.
C
The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s prod ucts sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” – and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer – which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet –adopted the title in . A lovely bear – popular in the US and UK – that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether i t means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability.” adds T horne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.
66. People use iPlayer to __________.
A. listen to music
B. make a call
C. watch TV programs online
D. read newspapers
67. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at __________.
A. young readers
B. old readers
C. fashionable women
D. engineers
68. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.
A. popular
B. uncertain
C. definite
D. unique
69. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.
A. portable
B. environmentally friendly
C. advanced
D. recyclable
70. The writer suggests that __________.
A. “i” pro ducts are often of high quality
B. iTeddy is alive bear
C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long
D
An allowance(零花钱) is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.
How large an allowance is suitable? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from place to place, and from family to family.
To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget(预算).Allow for entertainment costs such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these ‘ills’,” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”
Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out.
It can be hard, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $ 5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk home.”
One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home,” recalls Stephens,now a financial planner in Brooklyn. “At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily chores. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative(主动性).
71. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How to develop a child’s initiative.
B. How to work up an amount of pocket money.
C. How to teach a child to make money.
D. How to teach a child about money management.
72. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may .
A. spend all the money very soon.
B. be spoiled and finally ruined
C. feel responsible and careful about money
D. lose the money and can not return home
73. In Paragraph 4, the words “his peers” refer to .
A. his parents
B. his teachers
C. his financial experts
D. his friends
74. The author implies in the passage that .
A. paying children for their housework is no good
B. a child’s initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the housework
C. children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket money
D. children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money
75. What is the implication of the story of Stephens, a financial planner in Brooklyn?
A. To be strict with children is helpful in furthering their career prospects.
B. Teaching somebody the careful management of money at an early age is very important.
C. Careful management certainly leads to career success.
D. Follow the parents’ advice and you can be successful.
