Older adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.
Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.
The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.
As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.
A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.
The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.
The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.
―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.
1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. difficult
B. disordered
C. dissolved
D. different
2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?
A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.
B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.
C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.
D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.
3. What can we infer from the study?
A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.
B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.
C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.
D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.
B
Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color1 or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: ly not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the
world.”
4. Whatdoes the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?
A. They're unfair.
B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective.
D. They're strict.
5. What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
6. Why are more geniuses known to the public?
A. Improved global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
C.Acceptance of victors' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike
B. Genius Takes Many Forms
C. Genius and Intelligence
D. Genius and Luck
C
Craig Blackburn, a father and car fan, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his sons hope after seeing the childrens reaction to the Batmobile.
Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.
Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.
Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(喷火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the carmade its first
show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.
“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.
8. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile?
A. To realize his son’s dream.
B. To donate it to sick children.
C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.
D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
9. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first?
A. Hopeful.
B. Confused.
C. Impossible.
D. Unsure.
10. How did Blackburn’s friend help him?
A. By making an outer shell for him.
B. By offering him financial support.
C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars.
D. By telling him the background of the car factory.
11. What is the car lovers’ expectation of the Batmobile?
A. It will be driven soon on the roads.
B. It can be displayed around the world.
C. It can change the lives of sick children.
D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.
D
The American poet Louise Gluck, author of 12 collections of poetry, has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Born inNew Yorkin 1943, Gluck published her first volume of poetry, “Firstborn”, in 1968, quickly gaining her reputation as a poet. In the decades since, she has become one of the country's most celebrated literary figures. Her work uses the power of myth to deal with some of our darkest human concerns. Her straightforward language always gets at the heart of deep-seated anxieties: loneliness, rejection, death ...
Stephanie Burt,an English professor atHarvardUniversity, said, “She's someone who's been able to make emotion states vivid on the page... Few poets have tried as hard as she has not to repeat herself. And her strongest books are really different from one another”. “She offers poetry lovers a lot of inspiration, but she's also on a lot of
bookshelves," said Chiasson, a poet, who added she is a generous reader of her fellow writers’work.
At Yale, where Gluck is a professor of English, she served for years as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize and worked closely with poets she chose for the prize and those she did not, helping them shape their work. “In that very practical way she's had an enormous influence on a great many figures,” said Langdon Hammer, a professor of English at Yale. “She's someone who has been a 'guiding spirit’ for generations of students, writers, and readers.”
Gluck described teaching and writing as symbiotic. “I teach not out of selflessness or generosity: I do it because it feeds me,” she said. “It feeds them, too, so it's a happy relationship. I'm sure not all my students feel that way, but some do. I never feel that it takes me from my work: I think it gives me my work.”
12. Which of the following topics might Gluck tend to explore in her work?
A. Victory.
B. Divorce.
C. Romance.
D. Achievement.
13. What quality does Gluck have according to the passage?
A. Humorous and intelligent.
B. Ambitious and helpful.
C. Considerate and optimistic.
D. Inspiring and creative.
14. What does teaching mean to Gluck?
A. A source of wealth.
B. A barrier to writing.
C. A fountain of creation.
D. A stepping stone to fame.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Guiding Spirit
B. A Successful Pioneer
C. An Adventurous Creator
D. A Hardworking Writer

【51题详解】
考查名词。

句意：一个好朋友应该具备的品质之一就是诚实。

“one of……”，后接可数名词复数，表示……中的一个。

故将quality改为qualities。

【52题详解】
考查介词。

句意：1976年7月28日凌晨3点左右，一些人看到天空中出现了明亮的光。

英语中表示时间的介词on+具体某日/星期几，表示某一具体的时间(常表达某一天)，in后一般加一段时间，年，月，四季等。

故将in改为on。

【53题详解】
考查形容词。

句意：在农家院子里，鸡甚至猪都被吓得吃不下东西。

frightened感到害怕的；frightening令人害怕的，指事情是令人恐惧的。

根据句子意思可知，这里鸡和猪是感到害怕的，而不是鸡和猪是令人害怕的。

故将frightening改为frightened。

【54题详解】
考查数词。

句意：三分之二的人在地震中死亡或受伤。

英语中表示几分之几，分子用基数词one two three……表示，分母用序数词second third fourth……表示，当分子大于1时，分母加-s。

故将third改为thirds。

【55题详解】
考查动词。

句意：军队组队挖出被困人员，埋葬死者。

trap为动词，“设圈套,陷入(困境)，捕捉”，分析句子可知，在定语从句those who were trap中，先行词those与谓语动词trap之间是被动关系，因此要用被动语态，be +及物动词的过去分词形式。

故将trap改为trapped。

【56题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。

句意：我们会照顾在大地震中失去父母的孩子。

本句为定语从句，先行词the children 与从句中parents是所属关系，表示孩子们的父母，关系词在从句中作定语，用关系代词whose。

故将who 改为whose。

【57题详解】
考查固定短语。

句意：仿佛世界到了尽头。

at the end使用时后面常跟介词of，at the end of在……的最后，通常指某一发展过程的最终结束。

at an end用于句尾，搭配be动词使用，表示结束。

故将the改为an。

【58题详解】
考查副词。

句意：二战期间，诺曼·白求恩作为医生在中国无私地工作。

分析可知，白求恩医生是无私的，selfish是自私的意思，应该用它的反义词“无私”，分析句子，此处用副词修饰work这一动作。

故将selfish 改为selflessly。

【59题详解】
考查固定短语。

句意：为什么纳尔逊·曼德拉求助于暴力以使黑人和白人平等？turn to sb/sth.求助于......,向......求教，转向等。

介词to后直接跟名词、代词、动名词等。

故将for去掉。

【60题详解】
考查倒装句。

句意：历史上从来没有一座城市被如此彻底地摧毁。

英语中，never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等含有否定意义的副词若位于句首时，则其后要用部分倒装，将助动词提到主语前，分析句子可知，时态为现在完成时，形式是have/has + 过去分词，主语a city是单数，谓语动词用单数。

故将history后加has
52.略。
