Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock可知改变我们的睡眠模式可能变得不健康；故选A．（2）D．态度判断题．根据文章Jim Horne， one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University， says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep， so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in可知吉姆•霍恩对周末卧床的态度是支持的；故选D．（3）A．词义猜测题．根据文章Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends，so we shouldn’t stop doingit可知担心对睡眠有害，我们自然会通过周末躺在床上来弥补一周没有得到足够的休息，所以我们不应该停止这样做；意为多睡；故选A．（4）D．推理判断题．根据文章Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep可知从课文中可以推断出睡眠不足可能是由压力引起的；故选D．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Over the course of my life， I come to realize we will have unpleasant feelings from time to time． Our loved ones will pass away， our friends and families will disappoint us， and the challenges of life will make us angry and frustrated．（1）_______ I have experienced a lot and find out some effective ways to help express our feelings．（2）_______ When expressing strong feelings， many people intend to start talking over the other person instead of listening to what he or she is saying． If you do so，you won’t have the possibility of clearing up any misunderstandings．Exercise to help deal with depression． Despite the commonly held belief that people needto let off their anger to help reduce its

Where does the passage most probable come from?A. A tourist map.B. A science textbook.C. A library guide.D. A news report.(B)Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:"A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote to her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home.Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father——just two lines:"Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars."The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it.The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.A change of attitude could change everything.After reading the article, I was deep in thought…4. At first, the woman________ the life with her husband in the desert.A. could standB. could acceptC. couldn’t standD. couldn’t understand5. The woman’s father wanted to tell his daughter to________.A. look at the mud.B. look at the stars.C. come home.D. stay with her husband.6. The main idea of this passage is that________.A. a woman went to live with her husband in camp.B. the desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had.C. the daughter's parents wanted her to stay with her husband.D. a change of attitude could change everything.7. After reading the story, the writer may________.A. give up the tiring work.B. go to the desert.C. write a letter to father.D. go on the work.(C)In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.8. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers time.B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To help sell junk food.D. To sell them at discount prices.9. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.C. Inviting customers to play music.D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.10. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.D. A good first impression increases sales.11. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To show dishonest business practices.(D)Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked．Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beings．What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival．Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge, we can lessen its effects．Exploration also allows minerals and other potential （潜在的）resources to be found．Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives．We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems．Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us．While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers．The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive．Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist．While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets．It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future．12. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A. To express his doubts．B. To compare different ideas．C. To introduce points for discussion．D. To describe the conditions on Earth．13. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so．B. Humans have the tendency to fight．C. Humans may find new sources of food．D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place．14. The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______．A. survival chancesB. potential resourcesC. unexpected benefitsD. physical possessions15. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A. Space exploration has created many wonders．B. Space exploration provided the best value for money．C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the day instead. We piled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate. On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets. I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back.

There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world??s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from asingle institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the Universityof Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.many Asian universities are among the world??s top 10 universities for global CEOs . . . .does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean. .the lead. great progress.can we learn about the UK universitiesUniversity ranks highest among them.of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.performed better than French universities on the list.produced the second most number of global CEOs.of the following can be the best title for the textRankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldIs Described as the Best University in the WorldAre Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesUniversity Tops the League Table of Where Bosses StudiedD“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it??s a work or non-work day, it??s an interesting question. Is thelie-in really so dangerous Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thingChanging our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone??s developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn??t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.?Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one??s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don??t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.??s the probable effect of changing our sleep patternsunhealthy.weight quickly.adapting to time zones.early sleepers and risers.is Jim Horne??s attitude towards the weekend lie-in. . . .does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to. .early. for the limit.can we infer from the textsleep debt must be paid off completely.weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
