【題目】If youre like many Americans, youre probably not getting enough sleep. Constantly on the go, you may think you never have enough time to finish everything on your to-do list. But that doesnt mean you should shortchange your sleep—or your health, for that matter.

【1】 Then, follow these simple tips to help you get better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed every morning.

Sleep Fix #1 Give your bedroom a makeover.

Make your sleeping area conducive to rest by keeping it dark and quiet. 【2】 Keep in mind that your body temperature drops at night, so you want to keep your room environment at a cool, comfortable level.

Sleep Fix #2 Get enough sleep.

Most people need seven or eight hours to best function, says Nancy Collop, MD, director of the Emory Sleep Center in Atlanta and president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “You dont want to be tired or sleepy during the day，” she says. If you need an alarm clock to wake up, find yourself chugging caffeine to stay awake, or you nod off during meetings, you may not be getting enough shut-eye.

Sleep Fix #3 Establish a regular routine.

Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. People who frequently switch their sleep times experience something similar to jet lag. Basner points to “Sunday night insomnia，” where weekend warriors stay up late on Friday and Saturday and then have trouble falling asleep on Sunday. 【3】， he explains.

Sleep Fix #4【4】

Its tempting to watch TV or surf the web from bed, but those activities usually make it harder to wind down. The latest research suggests that artificial light coming from laptop screens, TVs, etc. suppresses the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin(誘導(dǎo)睡眠的褪黑激素). So give yourself a technology curfew and turn off those screens at least an hour before bedtime.

Sleep Fix #5 Make bedtime a priority for the whole family.

【5】 Use rituals（儀式、慣例） that help children wind down like bath, brushing teeth, and story time. Be aware that your kids may try to push the bedtime limits. “Kids are pretty clever. Theyll try to manipulate(操縱) parents if they can and parents need to try to avoid giving in to that，” says Colon.

A. There are treatments available for cases of sleeplessness.

B. So start by making sleep a priority in your life.

C. If you live in a city, consider using a white-noise machine to block out loud noises.

D. Unexplained sleepiness is an important signal that you should talk to your doctor.

E. Just those 24-48 hours can shift your circadian rhythm(晝夜節(jié)律) and cause poor sleep.

F. Put away your gadgets.

G. School-age kids benefit from a regular bedtime routine.

【答案】

【1】 B

【2】 C

【3】 E

【4】 F

【5】 G

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，睡眠對(duì)人們非常重要，文章中提出了5條幫助人們提高睡眠的有效建議。

【1】前段最后一句“But that doesn’t mean you should shortchange your sleep—or your health, for that matter.”告訴我們不要因?yàn)槊β刀鲆曀吆徒】�，要讓睡眠成為生活中�?yōu)先考慮的事情。B項(xiàng)“So start by making sleep a priority in your life.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，所以要選B項(xiàng)。

【2】橫線前一句“Make your sleeping area conducive to rest by keeping it dark and quiet.”告訴我們要讓睡覺(jué)的地方暗淡并安靜，C項(xiàng)“If you live in a city, consider using a white-noise machine to block out loud noises.”描述城里人可以使用機(jī)器隔離噪音，符合本段語(yǔ)境，所以選擇C項(xiàng)。

【3】橫線前句“ Basner points to “Sunday night insomnia，” where weekend warriors stay up late on Friday and Saturday and then have trouble falling asleep on Sunday.”敘述的是那些經(jīng)常轉(zhuǎn)換生活節(jié)奏的人會(huì)失眠，E項(xiàng)“Just those 24-48 hours can shift your circadian rhythm(晝夜節(jié)律) and cause poor sleep.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，所以選擇E項(xiàng)。

【4】根據(jù)本段第一句“Its tempting to watch TV or surf the web from bed, but those activities usually make it harder to wind down.”可知看電視上網(wǎng)會(huì)導(dǎo)致人們很難入睡，所以本段中建議人們把這些影響睡眠的小玩意放在一邊。F項(xiàng)“Put away your gadgets.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，所以選擇F項(xiàng)。

【5】橫線后句“Use rituals that help children wind down like bath, brushing teeth, and story time.”告訴我們要用管理幫助孩子形成各種生活習(xí)慣，因?yàn)檫@些習(xí)慣會(huì)給孩子帶來(lái)很多好處。G項(xiàng)“School-age kids benefit from a regular bedtime routine.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境，所以選擇G項(xiàng)。

【題目】 City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes,then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees.

As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without C02. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石）fuels，have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.

Studies had shown forests readily absorb C02，but there hadn’t been much data on whether city trees grow， die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.

To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree’s diameter increases as it grows, just as a person’s waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years’ tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more C02.

City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest，trees tend to grow close together，shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮）in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.

【1】What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?

A.It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.

B.It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.

C.It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.

D.It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.

【2】Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?

A.To know about their growth rates.

B.To find out how much they weigh.

C.To check whether they were healthy.

D.To assess the carbon amounts in them.

【3】What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?

A.They are more likely to access growth promoters.

B.They can enjoy more water coming from the air.

C.They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.

D.They are better at competing for light.

【4】What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?

A.How urban trees can live longer.

B.Why city living makes trees die young.

C.How trees respond to dry soil conditions.

D.Why faster-growing trees absorb more C02.

【題目】Recently I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant, covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasnt going to hurry now. Hed drink a while and then rest in the shade, and then drink again—or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephants body, and let out over 100 litters of pus(膿)—the result of the elephants meeting with a poacher(偷獵者) months before.

Todays poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once—it doesnt mean the poison wont finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death. Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time.

When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit—but I couldnt escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed a poorer and emptier place.

【1】While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.

A. knew the elephant was injured

B. found the elephant acted violently

C. thought the elephant was in good condition

D. tried their best to save the elephant

【2】Further examination showed that the dead elephant ________.

A. had wounds all over it

B. had suffered a lot

C. had drunk some deadly water

D. had had a good fight with a poacher

【3】Further examination showed that the dead elephant ________.

A. Embarrassed.

B. Funny

C. Relieved

D. Upset

【4】Why did the author write the text?

A. To introduce African elephant.

B. To ask readers to protect wild animals.

C. To describe his filming experience.

D. To show the cruelty of poaching.
