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

Susan Sontag (1933----2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything---to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes on Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “ a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.
By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist, but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America, her story of a19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a all-purpose cultural
view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending …is the idea of seriousnes s, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.
61. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag_________.
A. was a symbol of American cultural life
B. developed world literature, film and art
C. published many essays about world culture
D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture
62. She first won her name through ___________.
A. her story of a Polish actress
B. her book Illness as Metaphor
C. publishing essays in magazines like partisan Review
D. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
63. According to the passage, Susan Sontag__________.
A.was a sensualist as well as a moralist
B.looked down upon the pop culture
C.thought content was more important than form
D.blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed
64. As for Susan Sontag’s lifelong habit, she __________.
A.misunderstood the idea of seriousness
B.re-examined old positions
C.argued for an openness to pop culture
D.preferred morals to beauty
65.Why Susan Sontag won her lasting fame was because of___________-.
A. her point which was suitable for common cultural view
B. her lifelong watchword：seriousness
C. her publishing books on morals
D. her enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing
C
Nowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us ------ between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there ------ are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home.
A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow. ” The very ones our high-speed lives have little time for.
In my own case, I turn to eccentric and often extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have ti me to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I try not to go online till my day’s
writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): it’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-----calmer, clearer and happier----than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which the monk D avid Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for----The Joy of Quiet.
66.The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because ________.
A.he is out of work .
B. whatever he does make no sense
C. he is worried about his writing.
D. he can enjoy himself in his leisure time.
67.When the writer uses the word “forget” , his real meaning is _______.
A.Somebody really forgets his cellphone at home.
B.Somebody thinks cellphone is not a suitable means of communication.
C.Somebody hates modern techniques such as the cellphone.
D.Somebody leaves his cellphone at home on purpose.
68.Which of the following is right?
A.It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.
B.The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.
C. Slowing down to find time and space to think and enjoy oneself is urgent.
D. We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.
69.What does the underlined word mean?
A. difference
B. sameness
C. simplicity
D. complication
70. What is the main idea of the article?
A. The importance of spending time in quiet.
B. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.
C. Principle or asceticism is important in one’s life.
D. The more we communicate, the more we will be closer.
D

In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air. Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips
longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train. Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains. There are several reasons why many people ________________________.
Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America．Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel. In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.

Dear classmates:
It’s a pleasure for me to have a chance to make a short speech today. Recently, I have found that some of our classmates study late into the night and do not spare any time to take a rest during the day. So they often cannot help falling asleep in class. And some classmates seldom have breakfast, which is also a bad habit and will surely do harm to their health.
In my opinion, it’s extremely important for us to have enough sleep and a proper diet. We must learn to make wise use of our time, and only in this way can we keep fit and study well. I wonder if you agree with me.
Thank you for listening!。
