Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern (模式). 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 day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.

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. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy 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.

1.C

2.D

3.B

【解析】試題分析

1.細(xì)節(jié)題。第一段However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down.  可知真正的原因是由于身體體溫降低。故選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. 最好是在起床后八個(gè)小時(shí)左右,故6:30起床,下午2:30小睡最好。

3.主旨題。文章分析了在下午人為什么感到困倦的原因,起床八小時(shí)后小睡一會(huì)有助于減輕困意并對(duì)健康也是很有益的,同時(shí)作者呼吁每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該小睡一會(huì),十分鐘的小睡也是很有幫助的,可見A.只為休息,不符合。C.一種特殊的睡眠模式,文中并不強(qiáng)調(diào)有了一種新興的睡覺方式。故可排除。D.答案只講到了氣候溫暖的地方要小睡,也不對(duì)。故選B。

考點(diǎn):說明文

點(diǎn)評(píng):文章不難,細(xì)節(jié)題居多,平時(shí)掌握好解答方法,將問題帶到文中找答案,遇到主旨題也使用排除法,仔細(xì)對(duì)比選項(xiàng)的區(qū)別,既不可斷章取義,也不可夸大其詞。
