Many peop le feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause o f the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, ther eal reason lies inside their bodies. At that time –about eight hours after y ouwake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow dow n and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where th ere was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the da y. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes wor k difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are g ood for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested bodyand m ind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where napsare traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problems such as hear tdisease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Re member that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you getup.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired andsleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.43.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?A. About 12:30 pm.B. Ab out 2:30 pmC. About 1:30 pm.D. A bout 3:30 pm44.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?A.You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.B.You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.45.Naps are good for everyone in any climate because ______________ .A.a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.B.a daily nap benefits your health.C.people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who don’t.D. All the above.46.What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep Pattern.D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.DI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my professi on stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up.I listen.I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here 's what I wanted to tell you today:Get a life.A real life, not a desire of th e next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in w hich you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲),it is work. Pick up the phone.Send ane-mail.W rite a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no b usiness taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours,our minutes.It is so easy to exist instead of to live.I learned to live many years ago. Somethingreally,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all. And what I learne d from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned tolook at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to believed.47.How did the author form her view of life?A.

A possible version: Little Yueyue was badly injured by two vehicles on the street but received no help from 18 passers-by, who might be selfish or lack for courage. Some people are calling for passing laws to prevent similar incidents.I feel quite shocked and angry at the 18 people's behaviors and coldness, which is just like a terrific slap in the face of our nation whose traditional virtues, kindness and sympathy, are always our great pride.If I had passed by the scene by chance, I would surely have done something to save the little girl. I might also feel frightened and worried at first, but I should help to make some emergency calls at least.As for the government, it can focus on two aspects to advocate helping strangers in emergency. One is publicity and another one would be a law requiring people to do something when facing emergency. This would enable kind people but who were cautious to do the right thing.Another possible version: (该范文总字数260词，绝对超字数，不作为本次考试范文，仅提供一种思路，旨在示范篇章结构的组织、段落的展开、论述及写作思路的梳理的规范性，还有语言组织的规范性和技巧。

He liked reading when he studied at school. He thought the writers were respected(尊敬) and could get a lot of money. He wrote a lot of stories and posted them to the editorial departments (编辑部) but didn't receive any answers.Now he works in a factory. He's busy at work. When he's free, he always reads something. He always remembers he hoped to be a writer when he was young. One day, Xiao Ping, his ten-year-old daughter, came back. She looked worried and didn't eat anything. She said Miss GAO, her Chinese teacher, told them to write a solicit article(征文) "My Father" that evening. But she did not know what to write."That's easy," said Lao Yang. "Let me help you."Then he sat down to write the solicit article at once. He easily finished it on time. He was sure Miss GAO would like it. But one afternoon he asked his daughter if the article had been chosen to post to the editorial department."My teacher said your article digressed from the subject(离题)," said the girl."I don't think so," Lao Yang shouted angrily. "I described(描写) just my father!"41. Lao Yang wrote a lot of stories because _______.A. he likes reading.B. he learned much at school.C. he wanted to be a writer.D. he wanted to help others.42.

I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…andI left without getting a cent.46.

Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.A. friendlyB. selfishC. professionalD. busy50. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in America.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Money is more important than other things in the US.CLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is veryimportant, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell the m that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.51. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.A. more difficultB. easierC. more uninterestingD. more interesting52. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of communicationD. the disagreement between generations53. When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that __________.A. children should always obey their parentsB. they should be equalC. parents play the leading partD. both make the opposite know their feelings54. The example in this passage proves that ___________.A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to herB. Sophie is very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did well in explaining her being lateD. communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding55. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them knowB. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothingC. If you are not able to communicate, walk awayD. Communication is a two-way dealDComputers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we wil l not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more. Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.56. In paragraph1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.A. playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor57. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?A. Computerized books won’t be very expensive.B. Computers can keep many different books in them.C. We won’t have lots of pages.D. We won’t need any paper.58. Paragraph 4 tells _______.A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicatingB. if the Internet will change our habitsC. about computerized booksD. about future uses of computers59. The title for this passage is _______.A. Computers will Replace Shops and BooksB. Computers will be Used in the FutureC. Computers will Do Everything for ManD. How Computers Change Our Habits60. According to the writer’s view, which is right?A. Computers will replace everything completely in our daily life in the future.B. Computers will not be used at all in our daily life in the future.C. Computers will not be used in shopping in the future.D. Computers will bring more and wider usage in our daily life in the future. 第四节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)：Sarah、John、Billy、Melinda和Edna各自在找适合他们居住的地方。

As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there’s something in Asian culture that brings success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.59. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because _________.A. their English is not good enoughB. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesD. they know little about American culture and society60. Why do the two “explanations” (Para. 3) worry Asian-Americans?A. They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.B.

American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.61. The author’s tone in this passage is ________.A. sympatheticB. criticalC. doubtfulD. objectiveCThe development of e-commerce may well bring the world into a brand-new era of “electronic currency”. With the emergence of a ghost electronic currency, every one of us would be affected. At the moment, developed areas in Europe, the United States and Asia are already studying the possibility of an electronic currency. Electronic currency is not only about currency. It refers to an entire finance system on the Net. The appearance of an electronic currency system implies the emergence of “virtual banks” and “virtual enterprises”.As the Net pushes the economy ahead rapidly, the economy is also bringing the Net market forward, resulting in the Internet itself becoming the world’s largest emerging market. Of course, this is just the beginning. Although there are many companies which made huge profits investing in the Internet market, they tend to be small companies, like Yahoo, which has been attracting the attention for quite some time. To date, most companies are making losses.The Net and e-commerce will cultivate a large number of freelancers（自由职业者）,and this will affect social structure in a big way. The competition for technological superiority in the era of the knowledge-based economy will also be more intense. This will definitely promote greater (even global) and more efficient cooperation to maintain competitiveness. The highly efficient research and development work conducted on the worldwide Net is best suited for small and medium enterprises to band together and break the monopolies（垄断）of the“giants”. It is not hard to see that within this new Net economy, especially with its electronic currency and virtual banks, and oncoming danger is hidden.62.
