’s eyes when she talked about waking up her son. Every morning, her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep.
Why is he so sleepy? Because, like thousands of student “early birds” in China, he has to get up before 6 a.m. every morning.
School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in Shanghai, it’s reported
that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep. And studies show that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many become near-sighted as a result.
Li Ming, a student at Qinghua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p.m. But when he has exams coming up, he can stay up as late as midnight. This “night bird” lifestyle has made many students nod off in class. Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feel most sleepy.“My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said. “They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee.”
However, not all parents are happy about this. “My daughter gets up so early. She looks tired and
it really hurts me.” said one of the parents. Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it.
61. The ten-year-old boy’s mother talked about waking up her son with tears in her eyes because
_____.
her son’s lack of sleep hurt her but she had to wake him up
her son wasn’t good at lessons
she thought her son was too lazy
her son was badly ill
62. For school students, lack of sleep may lead to ______.
A. the body’s weakness
B. nodding off in class
C. near-sighted eyes
D. all the above
63. Li Ming’s mother is _____ to see him studying late.
A. sorry
B. worried
C. happy
D. angry
64. Which one is True according to the passage?
All the parents hope their children stay up.
No students complain about their lack of sleep.
Most students watch TV or play computer games deep into night.
Some parents are worried about the fact that most of the students don’t have enough sleep.
B
Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you. Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had
left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before. Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office. We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.65. If you want to have a good memory, you should ________. A. force yourself to remember things B. make a conscious effort of practice and exercise C. never stop learning
D. try hard to remember things66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. One night the writer forgot to lock the front door.
B. One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.
C. The writer remembered to lock the door.
D. The writer remembered unlocking the front door.67. From the sentence “We never get tired of hearing new ones”, we can infer that .
A. we enjoy hearing new stories about absent-mindedness of professors
B. we don’t want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors
C. we will never get tired of listening to new stories about absent-mindedness
D. absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people
C
“We don’t have rush hours any more”, said Mr. Charles Mac Lean, who runs the nation’s busiest road. “We have rush periods, and they keep getting longer and longer.”
Mac Lean was describing Chicago’s 235 miles of expressway. But the same might be said about almost any of the expressways that have become an important part of American city lifend about the heavy
traffic that often blocks them. In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed thatn controls traffic on the city’s seven expressways. Now one man controlleran follow the movement of Chicagoex’s traffic by looking at a set of lights. The system uses electronic sensors that are built into each expressway, half a mile apart. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow, or red lights on a map in the control room. A green light means the traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour and red means heavy trafficars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
e“See that red light near Austin Avenue?” the controller asked a visitor. “That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it”.
At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again. “A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,” the controller explained. “They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”
The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressways for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the country there are 2.6.
Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”. Systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston. “Chicago has taken the lead,” says New York City’s traffic director; and he adds, “We are far behind…”
68. How does the controller follow Chicago’s traffic?
A. By controlling the traffic lights.
B. By operating a computer in the control room.
C. By sending a truck to clear the roads.
D. By looking at a set of lights on the map in the control room.
69. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.
A. a truck which needs repairing
B. a red light
C. Austin Avenue
D. a truck doing repairs on the road
70. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. Computerized Traffic Control System
B. Rush Periods Getting Longer
C. No Rush Hours Any More
D. Sensors on Expressways

第节 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time.In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it .”
At the same time, in America, Mike,a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools” he says, “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

On one hand, stress can inspire us so that we can grasp the opportunity to finish the challenging work. On the other hand, too much stress can affect our physical and mental well-being. If the stress lasts a long time, it may cause headaches, heart disease and so on. It also keeps us in depression.
When stress does occur, it's important to recognize and deal with it. A large number of physical activities can reduce anxiety. Sharing our stress with others can be greatly helpful. Making time for fun, such as listening to music, may be good medicine. Sometimes even crying is an efficient way to release stress.。
