【題目】Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?

A study of 1,000 British people has been done by Chris, a British professor and director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service in the UK. It looked at the six most common sleeping positions and which personalities tend to match them. Have a look.

1. Fetus (胎兒) position – This is the most common sleeping position. About 41 percent of the participants said they sleep in this position. These sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive (敏感的) and shy. The more they curl (蜷縮) up, the more worried they are.

2. Log position (樹(shù)干睡姿) – This is the second most common position. People who sleep like a log are usually stubborn.

3. Yearner position (向往型睡姿) – This position says that you are open-minded and eager (急切的) to face challenges.

4. Soldier position – These sleepers lie on their backs with their arms down and close to the body. They are usually reserved and quiet.

5. Freefall position – People who sleep in this position are outgoing (外向的) but feel a lack of control in their lives. This is the least comfortable position.

6. Starfish position – People who sleep like this are good listeners, helpful, and uncomfortable being the center of attention.

【1】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Sleeping position decides personality.

B. Sleeping position reflects personality.

C. What the six different sleeping positions are like.

D. Different people have different sleeping positions.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct?

A. Fetus B. British people

C. People surveyed D. Sleepers

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

試題分析：你知道嗎，你的睡姿暗示了你是什么樣性格的人，本文告訴我們六種睡姿暗示的人物性格特點(diǎn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由開(kāi)頭“Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?”可知， 你知道嗎，你的睡姿暗示了你是什么樣性格的人。因此選B。

【2】判斷推理題。由“These sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive and shy.”可知A“always”錯(cuò)誤；由“People who sleep like a log are usually stubborn.”可知，樹(shù)干型睡姿的人很固執(zhí)，不容易更改自己的觀點(diǎn)，故B錯(cuò)誤；從第5點(diǎn)“This is the least comfortable position.”可知這樣的睡姿不舒服，不是生活中感到不舒服，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第6點(diǎn)“…and uncomfortable being the center of attention.”。可知這類人成為公眾關(guān)注焦點(diǎn)時(shí)很無(wú)措，故選D.

【3】猜測(cè)詞義題。由 “About 41 percent of the participants said they sleep in this position.”和第二段開(kāi)頭的“ A study of 1,000 British people has been done by Chris…”可知41%的被調(diào)查的人說(shuō)他們是這樣睡覺(jué)的。故選C。

【題目】When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pain, no gain". He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.

Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.

So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago. They were tall and strong.

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled______seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to encounter hardship. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.

【1】With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often______.

A. kept watering them every morning

B. talked to them to get their attention

C. paid little attention to them

D. beat them to make them grow deep roots

【2】What does the underlined word "Adversity" mean in the sixth paragraph?

A. Difficult living conditions. B. Lack of moisture.

C. Enough care or attention. D. Bad weather.

【3】Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?

A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.

B. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.

C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.

D. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

【題目】There are many traditions around the holidays. “Holiday traditions” are things that people do every year during a holiday such as Christmas or Thanksgiving. At Christmas, for example, many people put up a Christmas tree or Christmas lights. These are Christmas traditions that have been going on for many years. But there is a “new” Christmas tradition that has become very popular: the TV firelog, a TV channel that shows nothing but a large log fire, blazing in a fireplace.

People put it on their TV and it makes them feel like they are watching and listening to a crackling fire. It makes them feel calm and comfortable. The origin(起源) dates back to 1986 in Canada. At that time, not very many people knew about it or watched the channel. Today, more than three million people watch the firelog channel during the winter holiday season. That year, the firelog channel was created(創(chuàng)造) to give the workers in the company that is now called Shaw Cable, a break at Christmas. By running the firelog during the holidays, everyone could go home for a few days and enjoy a bit of time off.

At that time, it was only broadcast to people in Edmonton but today it reaches people across Canada and beyond. This year, the Shaw firelog was updated. It is pretty high tech. Although it’s still really just a fire log that has been filmed, it has its own Twitter account (@ShawFireLog), its own Facebook page and it even has a computer App so you can see the burning log on a smartphone or a tablet. The Shaw firelog will burn until Jan. 5 on Shaw Cable, channel 222.

【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. The origin and popularity of the TV firelog.

B. Famous holiday traditions.

C. What makes the TV firelog so popular.

D. The TV firelog today.

【2】What does the underlined words “the TV firelog” mean in Paragraph 1?

A. It is an old Christmas tradition beginning a long time ago.

B. It is a TV channel that shows nothing but a fireplace.

C. It is a TV channel with all kinds of Christmas traditional programs.

D. It is a TV channel where people can watch a large log fire.

【3】For what purpose was the TV firelog created?

A. To attract more people to watch their programs.

B. To make people feel calm and comfortable by watching a crackling fire.

C. To give the people working at the company a few days off at Christmas.

D. To create more new traditions for people to celebrate Christmas.

【4】What can we learn about the TV firelog from the passage?

A. More than three million people watched the channel in 1986.

B. It was broadcast to people in Edmonton and across Canada when it first started.

C. It has its own Twitter account but no Facebook page now.

D. The burning of the firelog will last until Jan. 5 on Shaw Cable.

【題目】In recent years, there has been a steady attack on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you—regardless of your health. Politicians also got aboard. “There is a direct relationship,” US Congressman Neal Smith said, “between the amount of sodium(鈉) a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory(循環(huán)的) disorders, stroke and even early death.”

Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All these remarks and cry about salt is unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably does not make much difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive(高血壓的) patients, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to previous level when salt was reintroduced.

“An adequate to somewhat excessive(過(guò)度的) salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” said Dr. John H Laragh. “So an opinion that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”

Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation”(節(jié)制) in salt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons. One to two grams of salt would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.

“Na is not your enemy,” says Comek’s Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you do not need it is wrong. Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”

【1】Why is salt attacked by doctors and politicians?

A. It’s unnecessary.

B. It does no good to human health..

C. It is hated by most people.

D. It will surely lead to heart disease and circulatory disorders.

【2】From Dr. Dustan’s study in Paragraph 2 we can infer that _____.

A．a(chǎn) low-salt diet may be good to some patients

B．the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure

C．the reduction of salt intake can completely cure a hypertensive patient

D．a(chǎn)n extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone

【3】In the 3rd paragraph, Dr. Laragh implied that _____.

A．people should not be afraid of taking much excessive salt

B．doctors should not always advise people to avoid salt

C．a(chǎn)n adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake is suggested to ill people

D．excessive salt intake has killed some patients in the general population

【4】What is the experts’ advice for average people on salt consumption?

A．They should increase salt intake through sodium pills.

B．They should avoid salt as often as possible.

C．They should consume 1/2 to 1/3 teaspoons of salt a day.

D．They needn’t care about how much salt they consume.

【題目】While most teachers enjoy the summer break from work, other teachers try to find part-time work during that time. If you’re one of those teachers who are finding part-time work during the summer, writing for children might be the right job you’re looking for.

During the school year, you’re very familiar with children in your classroom. That means you know what children think about, how they talk and how they act. If you read stories and books for children with your students during the school year, you also know the kinds of story that children are fond of.

As a teacher, you can go to the school library and find out what kinds of books students are most interested in. Also, what kinds of books seem to be in short supply? Use this information to create stories and novels.

If you continue writing for children during the school year, you won’t have enough time to write as much while you’re teaching, but you can probably manage to work on at least one short story for children each month. Even if you don’t finish these pieces during the school year, when school ends for the summer you will have lots of writing projects to finish and hand in to editors (編輯).

Recently, many teachers have turned to writing for children as a part-time job. If you enjoy writing as much as you enjoy teaching, then writing for children might be the second job for you, too.

【1】Who is the passage probably written for?

A. Students. B. Teachers.

C. Workers. D. Schools.

【2】According to the passage, the school library can help teachers ______.

A. write more stories

B. borrow more books

C. learn about students’ interests

D. improve their teaching skills

【3】We can learn from the passage that story-writing teachers ______.

A. should read their stories to the students

B. should borrow books from the school library

C. think writing stories is a difficult part-time job

D. think teaching can provide them with ideas for stories

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. A way of finding a part-time job.

B. An interesting story of a writer.

C. Writing methods for teachers.

D. The reasons for becoming story-writing teachers.

【5】Which kind of teachers can be story-writing teachers?

A. Teachers who prefer writing to teaching.

B. Teachers who like either writing or teaching.
