【題目】

How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep an average (平均) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty, the average sleeping time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.

Most people have a bad night when they can’t fall asleep (入睡). The name of this problem is called insomnia.

This isn’t a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia, too. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移動(dòng)) from one to another to fall asleep. King Louis XI V (國(guó)王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of his bed.

【解析】

試題本文講述我們需要多少時(shí)間的睡眠,很多人會(huì)患有失眠癥很多名人也不例外。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段提到After the age of fifty, the average sleeping time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.可知50之后每晚睡6.5個(gè)小時(shí)。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中提到King Louis XI V (國(guó)王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them他是法國(guó)人可得知A錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第三段提到Many famous people in history had insomnia, too.許多名人也會(huì)失眠故B項(xiàng)正確。Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移動(dòng)) from one to another to fall asleep.他是個(gè)著名的發(fā)明家,而不是作家,故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第一段提到Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移動(dòng)) from one to another to fall asleep.50歲以后才會(huì)睡眠6.5小時(shí)故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

【3】A 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到King Louis XI V (國(guó)王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them他有四百三十多張床,希望能在某張床上快速睡著。.故選A項(xiàng)。

【4】C 猜測(cè)詞意。根據(jù)第二段Most people have a bad night when they can’t fall asleep (入睡). The name of this problem is called insomnia 許多人晚上不睡不著,這個(gè)問(wèn)題的名字叫失眠,故選C項(xiàng)。

【5】B 段落大意。第一段首先通過(guò)發(fā)問(wèn)的形式提到我們需要多少的睡眠,這是不同的,有的人長(zhǎng)有的人短,美國(guó)人平均7個(gè)小時(shí),而等待50歲后是6.5個(gè)小時(shí),可知在講我們需要多少時(shí)間睡眠。故B項(xiàng)符合題意。
