26、   The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week can’t be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation (剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorders that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.

“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they’re gone when you go back to your daily schedule. It’s very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology lab at the University of Colorado at boulder. “These health effects are long-term. It’s kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn’t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be.”

Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first place—cutting out the “sleep stealers” such as watching television shows or spending time on their phones. Even when people don’t have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.

【1】What do the researchers find about weekend recovery sleep?

A. It is common among people.

B. It will make people healthier.

C. It can make people put on weight.

D. It’s able to make up for the sleep loss.

【2】What does the underlined word “crushes” mean?

A. Arouses. B. Guarantees.

C. Deepens. D. Ruins.

【3】What will Kenneth Wright agree with?

A. It takes long for people to see the effects of sleep loss.

B. Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.

C. Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.

D. Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.

【4】What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?

A. Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.

B. Watch some TV shows before bedtime.

C. Reduce the screen time before sleep.

D. Take regular exercise every day.

27、   London is great. It’s great. Rome and Paris are also fine places, but I knew as soon as we landed in London, this was the finest of the three.

There are only two small things that I don’t like about London. First of all, everyone speaks English here. I had so much fun in Rome and Paris. There I could speak in foreign languages. In a word, I made a lot of friends. But here everybody can understand me. I don’t have any reason to start up a conversation with a stranger. And speaking of restaurants---- that is the other problem with London. The food here is not good at all! I haven’t had one good meal in the three days since we were here.

Since you asked me to write to you about everything I learned on this trip, here is what I’ve learned about London.

London’s population of eleven million makes it the second largest city in the world. It is bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo. London is twice the size of New York. It has an area of 620 square miles!

The Thames River runs right through the center of the city. Someone once called the Thames “liquid history”. It is a very good name. Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years. One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago.

So far I have only had time to visit one neighbor-hood. It is called Bloomsbury. In fact there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group. It got its name because so many of them lived there. Virginia Woolf was one of them. I know how much you like her novels.

Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury. Do you remember who once lived on Baker Street?when I asked Bob this question, he answered , “ A man who baked bread, right? Sherlock Holmes, of course, but I won’t have time to find his address. Maybe you will when you come.

【1】We can learn from the first two paragraphs that ____________.

A.It is more difficult to begin a conversation in English in London than in any languages

B.The writer had made trips to Italy and France before he came to England

C.Of all the meals the writer has had in London, only one he thinks is good enough

D.The writer hates to talk to strangers who can speak English

【2】According to the text, who once lived on Baker Street?

A.A man who baked bread.

B.Sherlock Holmes.

C.A group of writers

D.A friend of the writer’s

【3】Where is the text most probably taken from?

A.letter B.A diary

C.A guidebook D.A business report

28、   Daniel stays home on workdays. He starts his personal computer in order to connect with the office which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.

The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (终端) in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do shopping without going out of their homes.

Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living-rooms.

【1】After work, Daniel likes to ______.

A.listen to music at the concert hall B.watch a movie in his living-room

C.chat with his friends on the net D.play baseball with his workmates

【2】What will the writer most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A.Games and sports B.Personal banking

C.Music and films D.International business

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.

B.Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.

C.We may no longer need to work in the office.

D.Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

29、   As summer turns to fall and parents are buying children their new backpacks, it is time to think of how our schools work and whether they are inspiring true learning. The schools of today are largely those of our great-grandparents. While white boards may have replaced blackboards and DVDs are used instead of projectors, schoolroom atmosphere is remarkably unchanged. Teachers deliver inert (无活力的) information to eager and empty minds who will soon lose what Ellen Galinsky described as the “fire in their eyes”.

Our view of leaning is trapped in the learning illusion (错误观念) that content is all that matters. Of course, content is important. Who would not want to have the multiplication tables memorized? But content is constantly changing. Pluto? No longer a planet. If memorization of content is everything, children’s knowledge will be out of date. Classrooms at all levels need to emphasize “the six C’s”: content, collaboration, communication, confidence (risk-taking), critical thinking and creative innovation (创新).

Our approach to the economic threats we see on our borders is to push for 19th century memorization in a 21st century world. Yet the facts will be as close at the Google generation’s fingertips. We need to teach our children how to learn, and how Sally and Pedro can together figure out how to use technology to understand why some trees never lose their leaves while others do. We need John and Qonick to argue about the best way to solve that math problem, rather than just listen to what the teacher tells them. Today’s schools should be active places where kids are actually thinking together about problem-solving.

None of this is to say that children cannot learn in school. They can. But children are often expected to sit still, listen and repeat disembodied content. The “keys to the kingdom” of the 21st century will go to those who love to learn and can transform their knowledge in innovative ways.

【1】The underlined part “fire in their eyes” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

A.desire for knowledge B.determination to succeed

C.anger shown to the teachers D.patience for the exam results

【2】Why does the author mention “Pluto” in the second paragraph?

A.To explain the meaning of the planet. B.To emphasize the school education.

C.To show knowledge is changeable. D.To advise children to work hard.

【3】Who does the Google generation refer to?

A.Scientists in the 19th century. B.The students in the 21st century.

C.Famous people in the 20th century. D.Experienced teachers in the world.

【4】It can be concluded from the text that _________.

A.students should sit still in the classroom B.it is better for children to learn at home

C.creative learning is very important now D.white boards can’t be used at school

30、   After growing up in the foster care system (寄养制度), Shante Elliott is working to help others come out of it. Shante Elliott is no _________ to the foster care system. _________, it was a system Elliott once moved around. She was forced to change schools, because she had to _________ with different homes over and over again before she finally _________ a long-term family at the age of 13.

And for those who age out of the system without finding those forever homes, there are __________ challenges to face. These kids are at greater __________ of homelessness, health problems and dropping out of school, all of which can make them __________ more difficulties.

Elliott wants to see that shame __________. It’s a reality that Elliott wants to help others. The need for protection, love, chance and safety has no __________ limit. If more teenagers were adopted, youth would have more __________ results after foster care. And it’s why Elliott has devoted much of her life to __________ these kids and cleaning out the __________ that may prevent themselves from getting a chance.
