19．Here comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos．The monkeys，however，were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed．A young boy watched the man's pathetic efforts and laughed．
The man said，"If you can catch me a monkey，I'll give you﹩2．That was a huge amount of money then．The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck．He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside．He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man，"We should have a rest in a few hours．Let's wait in the village．The monkey will call us when he is ready．"Certainly enough，a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot．One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts，but he couldn't pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist（拳头） was clenched．The monkey feared and started making loud noises．Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand．The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag．As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot．The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot．The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap，"Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out？"The boy laughed and said，"The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped，but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go．They never are．"What lessons can be learned from this story？Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go？Do you？

分析 本文通过一个捉猴子的故事，告诉我们有时候，我们不放弃某种东西反而会使我们受困．

解答 25．D，词义猜测题，根据后文句子The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped，but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go可知，猴子只要把手里的坚果放开就能很容易地把手拿出来，可以推测clenched的意思就是"拳头紧握着"，故答案为D．
26．B，细节理解题，根据句子The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped，but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go可见，猴子的手拿不出来是因为握着坚果，故答案为B．
27．A，推理判断题，男孩是答应抓一只猴子，那个男人就支付2美元，因此男孩开始设计方法抓猴子，而不是戏弄那个男人，因此答案为A．
28．C，主旨大意题，本文通过一个罐子捉猴子的故事，告诉我们有时候，我们不放弃某种东西反而会使我们受困，因此主要是关于猴子和罐子，故答案为C．

9．A Good Night's Sleep
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life．While you're sleeping，your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information．Although we all know the importance of getting a good night's sleep，not all of us know the best way of getting it．A sleep expert，Phil Atherton，gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night，which will leave you ready for action in the morning．
According to Phil Atherton，not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night's sleep．The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours．So you'd better avoid eating any food three hours before bed，as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around．
It's also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep．You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1hour before bed，as your brain uses light to help set internal"body clock"．Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep，the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it's time to sleep．
Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music．Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures．
Having a suitable bed，especially a suitable mattress （床垫），is necessary for a good night's sleep．Sleep is a personalized activity，and we all adopt different sleeping positions．Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position．The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user，allowing for space to move
around．
The recent research is pretty clear that a good night's sleep is a major component of good health．Since the start of the 21st century，studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases，such as diabetes and obesity．Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you．
28．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage？C
A．When to start a sound sleep．
B．What to do with sleep problems．
C．How to get a good night's sleep．
D．Why to form a good habit of sleeping．
29．According to the author，before going to sleep，you'd betterD．
A．record your biological clock　　
B．check your blood sugar
C．relieve your pain in the back 　 
D．free yourself from tension
30．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2refer to？D
A．Having a good sleep．
B．Taking a meal．
C．Not sleeping well．
D．Not eating food．
31．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage？C

10．My wife is addicted to shopping on the Internet．（61）Itseems that she can't control herself well，just clicking constantly with the mouse．Let me tell you what happened last night．It was the fourth time she （62）had shopped（shop） online for hours．I had already reminded her （63）to think（think） twice before buying anything，but my wife ignored what I said and replied confidently，"With the New Year（64）approaching（approach），preparation is necessary．Besides，I haven't bought things on the Internet for a whole week．"Hearing her words，I was really speechless．In most cases，the things she bought aren't good value for money．Maybe she just enjoys（65）the process of buying online．
Nowadays，（66）with the development of technology，online shopping is becoming more and more （67）convenient（convenience）．Those （68）who stay at home can buy whatever they want．In the meanwhile，it causes a series of （69）problems（problem）．One of them is more spending than before，because people are （70）easily（easy） attracted by the discount．So how to keep a good state of mind in front of temptation （诱惑） is an important lesson many people need to learn．

4．They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．
Professor Julia Twigg，a social policy expert，said，"Women over 75are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years-now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．"
Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure（支出） data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same-at 5or 6 percent of spending-the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．
The professor said，"Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．"
Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by the celebrity（名流） style than in previous years．
She said，"When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There's also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women．My own mother is 61and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．"
