Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or a(n) ____ relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 ___by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡妇)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then su ggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man?s life and two to a woman?s. The effect ____ for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can ___ to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn?t smoke. There?s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse?s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same ___ problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kind s of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work? The effects are complex, 46____ by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of _47__ later in life. People in supportive relationships may __48__ stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.
A life partner, children and good friends are all __49_ if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being _____ out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”
III. Reading Comprehension（47分）
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Who needs sleep?
It?s 2 a.m. The time when you should be in beds, sound asleep. But pull back the curtains and you might be surprised by the number of lights on in your street Night-time is ___51___ just for sleeping. It has become the new daytime, offering us the chance to catch up on everything we didn?t manage to finish during what used to be our ___52____ hours. Now, ___53___ sleeping, we can check our bank balances by phone, buy groceries, surf the net for cheap flights or go to the gym. Such flexibility, ____54___, has a price. Our bodies are run by circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), a prehistoric internal clock that regulates when we feel sleepy or awake and affects our body temperature and level of alertness. It makes our brains and bodies ___55___ during the day and allows them to recover through the night. So powerful is this clock that even two weeks on a nightshift without break will not ___56___ its rhythm, and when scientists keep human volunteers in isolation, without any indication of what time it is in the day, they still show daily cycles of temperature changes, sleep and wakefulness, and hormone release. But, ___57___ working against our body?s natural rhythm is likely to cause ourselves both physical and psychological damage. Research also shows it may actually ___58___ our risk of health problems such as stomach diseases.
Consultant Tom Mackey believes that our normal circadian rhythms are increasingly being completely ____59__. “More and more of us are being pressured into doing things at odd hours. This is going to have a(n) ___60___ impact on quality and length of sleep. If people don?t go to bed at a reasonable time, say around 11 p.m., and have between six and eight hours of sleep, they will be unable to concentrate. You need sleep for rest and ___61____. If you stuff your mind with information for too long, then everything gets disorganized ---you become __62____ to manage daytime activities.”
The circadian rhythms that run the sleep/wake cycle are as old as ___63____ itself. Our prehistoric ancestors would have needed their biological clock to get them out hunting during the day and probably in bed around nightfall to avoid intruders. Our night vision is not as fast as that of nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals ---our natural rhythm was to sleep as the sun went down. The invention of the electric light obviously ____64___ that. Like most biological systems, circadian rhythms are not made to ____65___. Our internal clock runs a bit longer than 24 hours, hence its Latin name, circadian, which means “about a day.”

A
When milk on the doorstepan delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn?t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his b
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkmelt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn?t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son?s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
66. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _____.
A. to show his magical power.
B. to pay for the delivery.
C. to satisfy his curiosity.
D. to please his mother.
67. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy?s house?
A. He wanted to have tea there.
B. He was a respectable person.
C. He was treated as a family member.
D. He was fully trusted by the family.
68. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B. It has been driven out of the market.
C. Its service is getting poor.
D. It is forbidden by law.
69. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A. He missed the good old days.
B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He needed it for his milk bottles.
D. He planted flowers in it.

C
A child's map often provides a much-needed rest for parents too. Time for an uninterrupted phone call, or a rest on the sofa. And naps have to be a good thing for preschools, surely, since they need to take a rest and get enough sleep for their brains to develop. Short naps have also been shown to be good for adults---improving alertness and reaction times.
So it feels counterintuitive for a review of 26 studies to conclude that napping in children over two years of age may not be a good idea at all. The review says that after two years of age, napping is associated with going to sleep late at night, poorer quality sleep and waking earlier. So should we discourage naps in preschool chikdren -even if they really seem to need one?
Although the review talks about the effects of napping on two-year-olds, most of the evidence in review actually comes from studies on three-year-olds. Also ,the authors of the view article are clear that the research on children?s naps is of poor quality; some studies rely on parents? remembering how much their children slept, or are for very short periods.
A study published in the journal of attention disorders in February suffers from some methodological shortcomings (for instance small numbers --only 28 children between the ages of three and four, and only for five days), but is at least a randomized(任意的) controlled trial, using actigraphs(活动记录仪) worn on the wrist to objectively measure sleep. It found that children who missed their naps slept better at night and scored higher in studies of memory and attention.
Dr mark mahone, one of the authors, says that sleep at nigth may be of a better quality than during daytime napping. Having a sound sleep at night, he says ,provides a greater proportion of the slow-wave, restorative sleep that promotes brain development and reinforces what has been learned the day before. The study also found that the children who went without naps did not sleep more at weekends.
I could never get my children to nap, but for parents who can, there is no reason to stop. Mahone says that more research is needed before anyone starts making recommendation, and children?s sleep requirements are known to be variable.
74.The word …?counterintuitive?? in para. 2 most probably means____
A. difficult
B.unreasonable
C.revolutionary
D.meaningless
75.What does the author think of the study published in Attention Disoders？
A.Its objects are too young to take the test
B. Its findings are reliable due to the actigraphs
C. It has enough objects to produce the results
D. It provides various ways to help adults to take naps
76.According to Dr Mark Mahone , a better-quality night sleep will result in ____.
A. frequent rests on the sofa
B. higher efficiency of learning
C. more serious attention disorder
D. fewer daytime naps at weekends
77.The author talks mainly about his or her____
A.opinions on whether children needs naps
B.various systemic studies on children?s naps
https://www.doczj.com/doc/6f10117596.html,ments on some studies on children?s naps
D.understanding of the functions of children?s naps
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Are bees happier in cities?
We think of them as thriving in wildflower meadows and rolling fields. But new research suggests Britain?s bees are happier near towns and cities.
A new study of wildlife sites across four English counties has found that most are home to fewer species of bee today than they were in the past.It found that the expansion of farmland has actually been more damaging to Britain?s bee population than the concreting over of the countryside for housing.For instance, heaths and meadows near Milton Keynes now boast more species of bee than sites in more rural areas.
Reading University researcher Dr Deepa Senapathi believes intensive agriculture is to blame.Climate change could be disrupting the relationship between bees and plants.That's according to a study that said warmer springs can change the life cycles of bees, which can throw them out of the plants they rely on. The research is the first clear example of the potential for climate change to destroy such critical relationships between species.
While the gardens, parks and churchyards of towns and cities provide bees with a variety of plants to forage on and an extended flowering season, popular crops such as oilseed rape only bloom for a few weeks.
Dr senapathi said: …While concreting over the countryside may appear to be bad news for nature, we?ve found that progressive urbanization may be much less damaging than intensive agriculture.
Urban areas may benefit bees more than farmland by providing a wide variety of flowering plants and an extended flowering season, according to the researcher.
Over the past century rural landscapes in Britain have become increasingly dominated by large expanses of monoculture - the growing of a single type of plant, which has helped boost crop production. But without a mixture of habitat and food sources, rural areas can sometimes be little better than green deserts for biodiversity.'
Scientists around the country are trying to work out why populations of bees and other insects are plummeting. Pesticides, climate change and disease may, like intensive farming, be playing a role.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
78. According to the study of wildlife sites across four english countries, the number of bee species is_____
79. According to Dr Senapathi, the development of cities causes __________________to bees than farmlands in suburbs.
80. What are the two advantages of urban areas over farmland when it comes to housing for bees?
81. Green deserts in the passage refers to the place where there is ______________________

To be honest, I have the same experience as you. But you have to know that procrastination is the thief of time. The following advice may help you overcome it soon. The most effective means to solve this problem is that you can make a “to do” list. For example, you can write “Finish home work before Saturday night”on your plan. If you manage to finish it, you can reward yourself. Otherwise, punish yourself. What’s more, you can find a person to remind you to finish your work efficiently from time to time. Different people have different efficient times. But it doesn’t matter what time it is. Just don’t waste time, following the schedule strictly. Last but not the least, do it now, just from now. In a word, don't spoil yourself. Although you have a long way to go, the first step is very essential. Good luck!
