题目内容
16.HOW do you get a good night's sleep?You may put your pillow (枕头) at the proper height,drink a glass of hot milk or maybe listen to some light music before bedtime.(56)GWhen World Sleeping Day falls on March 21,it will be a good time to explore a long-ignored fact that may make you feel tired after you wake up.Scientists have discovered that the position of your spine (脊椎) is very important when you sleep.
(57)ELet's have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each position.
On your back
Sleeping on your back is the ideal (理想的) position to be in.First of all,your spine is in the best position.(58)FThe downside is the greater likelihood of snoring (打鼾) and sleep apnea (窒息).
Lying on belly
(59)ADr Vaclav Vojta,a US child development specialist,said this is bad for your back because it takes away the natural curve (曲线) of your lumbar (腰部的) spine.But he also noted that this helps to prevent some snoring and sleep apnea.
On your side
Sleeping on our sides happened naturally while we were in the womb (子宫).(60)BPlus,sleeping on your side (the left side in particular) has been reported to reduce troublesome digestive problems like heartburn.The downside is the"dead arm"and finger numbness (麻木) from this position.
A.Lying face down with your legs straight and your arms right by your sides is a bad idea.
B.Sleeping on your side can be a quick fix for snoring and can help to improve breathing.
C.Do you and your friends ever talk about your sleeping position with each other?
D.And a new study suggests that the sleeping position has something to do with it.
E.Of the three sleeping positions,which one do you usually go for?
F.You are also less likely to have digestive (消化的) problems.
G.But one thing you may tend to ignore is sleeping positions.
分析 本文属于说明文,主要介绍了三种不同的睡觉姿势(1、平躺着睡;2、趴着睡;3、侧着睡;)的优缺点,其中侧着睡可以快速修复打鼾,可以帮助改善呼吸.但它却是最不健康的.
解答 GEFAB
56.G联系上下文.根据本段最后一句Scientists have discovered that the position of your spine (脊椎) is very important when you sleep.可知睡眠时,脊椎的位置对于我们的睡眠很重要.而这一点是人们经常会忽视的,人们总是在意枕头的高低,牛奶和音乐.故G项"But one thing you may tend to ignore is sleeping positions.但是你可能忽略的一件事就是睡觉姿势.",符合上下文串联.故选G.
57.E归纳总结题.根据下面三部分On your back、Lying on belly、On your side这分别是三个不同的睡觉姿势,我们要选择最适合自己的,就要研究他们的优缺点.故E项"Of the three sleeping positions,which one do you usually go for?在三个睡姿中,你通常选哪一个?",符合上下文串联.故选E.
58.F承上启下题.根据本段第一句Sleeping on your back is the ideal (理想的) position to be in.可知躺着睡是最好的姿势.再根据横线前句First of all,your spine is in the best position.可知是在阐述躺着睡的好处,F项"You are also less likely to have digestive (消化的) problems.你很少会有消化问题"符合上下文串联.故选F.
59.A联系上文题.根据本部分标题Lying on belly可知本部分在解释趴着睡的优缺点.A项"Lying face down with your legs straight and your arms right by your sides is a bad idea."阐述的正是趴着睡的缺点之一.故A项符合上下文串联.古选A.
60.B联系上下文.根据小标题:On your side睡在一侧,可知接了下来要讨论侧着睡的利与弊.B项:Sleeping on your side can be a quick fix for snoring and can help to improve breathing.侧着睡可以快速修复打鼾,可以帮助改善呼吸.符合题意.故选B.
点评 完成七选五阅读时,我们可以从关联词上查找答案.由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.
