题目内容

【题目】 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body moves back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep say that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy.

There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了睡眠的一些知识,睡眠的几个阶段,睡眠的重要性,缺乏睡眠的危害。

1主旨大意题。根据第一段中Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.睡眠对健康是必要的。在这段时间里,身体会从前一天的活动中恢复过来。睡觉时得到的休息能让你的身体为第二天做好准备。可知,主要讲的是有关睡眠的作用。故选A项。

2词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply.如果你很难入睡,有些人建议你深呼吸。喝牛奶其实是为了让自己有睡意,可知,这个单词是“困的,昏昏欲睡的”的意思。故选B项。

3细节理解题。根据第三段中when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly. This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.当发生做梦时,你的眼球开始移动得更快(尽管你的眼皮是闭着的)。可知,在所谓的REM阶段,人是处于梦境中,而且眼球会快速转动。故选C项。

4细节理解题。纵观全文,文章并没有提到各个年龄阶段的人们的最佳睡眠时间,不能根据人们的常识来选择选项C“八个钟头左右”,要以文章为依据做出选择。故选D项。

【题目】 When we are born,we are given names that stay with us for our whole lives. Some names include good wishes and hopes from parents, while others may be unique and easy to remember.

1

According to International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, an organization responsible for naming new viruses,the task of naming a virus is no less important than naming a person.

When a disease breaks out, people focus on the public health response 2 But that may lead to many problems. The most obvious one is that different media organizations may use different names for the same virus in their reports. We are now in the internet era. 3 This means different names can take hold quickly and be hard to take back, which may confuse those who know little about the virus.

4 Over the past decade, some improper names have caused problems. In 2009, the “swine flu” was widely used before the official name, HINI virus, was announced. This led Egypt to kill all of its pigs. In 2015, MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome)caused a backlash (强烈抵制)against the nations and people of this region. So in 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the names of viruses should avoid being named after geographic locations, people, species or classes of animals and foods.

5 The new coronavirus we are suffering from was named “COV-ID-19” on Feb 11. In this name, “CO” means “corona”, “VI” stands for “virus” and “D” means “disease”. Next time you read about a virus you don't know, you may get some clues about it from its name.

A.But naming a virus is never easy.

B.The WHO followed these principles this time .

C.News can spread to every household in seconds.

D.They often don’t know how to protect themselves.

E.The official naming of a new virus is often delayed.

F.Do you have a name which is easy to remember?

G.But do you know how the new coronavirus got its name?

【题目】 Do you prefer reading an e-book or a physical version? It might be a surprise, but for most people, old school print on paper still wins.

Publishers of books in all formats made almost $26 billion in revenue (收益) last year in the U.S., with print making up $22.6 billion and e-books taking $2.04 billion, according to the Association of American Publishers’ annual report 2018. Those figures include trade and educational books, as well as fiction.

While digital media has developed quickly, people still love to own physical books, according to Meryl Halls, managing director of the Booksellers’ Association in the U.K. “I think the e-book bubble has burst somewhat. Sales are flattening off. The physical objects are attractive.” she said.

People love to display their books, Hall added. “The book lover loves to have a record of what they have read. It’s about signaling to the rest of the world and about decorating your home, because people want to use it to indicate something about themselves.” And for Halls, there is also a desire to escape the screen. Part of the reason is that it’s harder to have an emotional relationship with what you’re reading if it’s on an e-reader.

As for the future of books, all formats will continue to be in demand, says Jacks Thomas, director of the London Book Fair. “People always need knowledge and people always need stories, so from that point of view, the book industry, in whatever format, has a strong future,” she says.

1What do we know from the passage?

A.E-books help escape the screen.

B.Publishers of books like e-books.

C.Details are more accurate in physical books.

【题目】 We need to vent(发泄)about the place we work sometimes. Whether it is the long hours you put in ,an unreasonable boss, or lack of recognition for your efforts-every workplace has enough fuel to lighten the frustration(挫折).

1.And it is good to the productivity in the office too. Vanessa Pouthier, a researcher at the University of Melbourne in Australia, studied a team of nurses and health professionals at a hospital in the United States.2.Pouthier observed the joking and complaining that went on for 12 months and realized“it helps people to process stress and frustration,”Pouthier told ABC Radio Perth.

3,there will always be a corner of the office or the lunch room, where a small or large collective of employees are venting to some degree.“Generally, people don’t think there is any value to it,”Pouthier says.4;she had to look into other fields, such as linguistics, to better understand its functions.

Whether it’s politely debating the effectiveness of how an office runs, or complaining about the bosses, Pouthier found that the complaining session served as bonding function.5.

“It allows people to recognize how similar they are in the challenges they are facing every day and how they feel about them,”she says.

B.No matter what kind of environment you work in
