题目内容

Mary：Morning, I3ob! Late again!

Bob：Oh, (1) I can't tell you how sorry I am.

Mary：Mm, (2)

Bob：Ah, I just don't know what to say. I must have turned the alarm clock off and gone back to sleep again, I…

Mary：Yeah, and last week one of the children wasn't well?

Bob：I'm really sorry. (3)

Mary：Never mind! Look, I have got a problem here, you see, (4) and I just don't know anything about what's going on there, so I told them that you were in a meeting and that you would call them as soon as you got back.

Bob：Oh, OK. Right, (5)

A．I'm so sorry.

B．I promise you it won't happen again.

C．I have something to tell you.

D．What's the excuse this time?

E．Thanks very much.

F．I have good reason for it.

G．someone called you while you were out.

答案：A;D;B;G;E
解析：

　　剖析：(1)上班迟到一般会表示歉意，且A与后一句语气呈递进关系．

　　(2)从后面看，Bob可能多次迟到且说了各种各样的理由：“这次有什么理由呢？”

　　(3)这一空格中若用F“我确是有原因的”，就显得Bob迟到了还不表示内疚，与上下文语意不连贯．而用B“我保证类似情况不会再发生了．”比较合理．

　　(4)从这一段的最后一句“你一回来就打电话给他们”可以看出，这里说的是有人找过Bob，从选项中看，只有G符合这一意思．

　　(5)这句话一开始Bob说“哦，好的．”后面的“Right”表示他又想起了什么事，相当于中国人说的“对了，……”．那么Bob想起了什么？Bob对Mary帮他接电话捎口信表示感谢．

A Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce(确保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically(生物学上)these sleepyhead(贪睡者)students aren’t used to the early hour.

　　“Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent (青春期的)sleep at Brown’s School of Medicine.

　　Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns(方式).

　　Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.

　　Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matter of choice---their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.

　　All of this makes the transfer(迁移)from middle school to high school---which may start one hour earlier in the morning----all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescents are up against difficulties when they try to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying. “I need a timeout.”

A．it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtime

B．it is biologically difficult for students to rise early

C．students work so late at night that they can’t get up early

D．students are so lazy that they don’t like to go to school early

2.The underlined phrase nod off most probably means _______.

A．turn around B．agree with others C．fall asleep D．refuse to work

3.What might be a reason for the hard transfer from middle school to high school?

A．Adolescents depend more on their parents.

B．Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.

C．Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.

D．Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.
