阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

It’s a time when school,homework,active social lives and pare-time jobs keep teenagers busy from early in the morning until late at night.They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends.Unfortunately,this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.

Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night.Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 pm.but need to be at school by 7:30 or 8:00 am .They cannot get enough sleep .During puberty(青春期),the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time ,and this causes teens to fall asleep later.Then ,when it’s time to get up ,a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones .This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.

A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance,achievements and grades.A few years ago in an important study ,test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina,Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average,when the morning school bell rang an hour later.Unfortunately,most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs.

1.What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers?

A.Improving their health

B.Weakening their energy

C.Disturbing their biological clock

D.Making up for their hormone loss

2.The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______.

A.make teenagers grow faster

B.change teenagers’ sleep needs

C.do more research on teenagers

D.improve students’ achievements

3.The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______.

A.daytime activities B.sleeping habits

C.mental problems D.studying methods

Haikou—A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon.

It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan.

Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance when they were fishing in sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach.

Police temporarily protected the shark while oceanographers(海洋学家) decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection.

Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection.

The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo.It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal bleeding.

Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative.Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago.

However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach.

3.The underlined word“confirmed”probably means______.

A.said B.believed

C.thought D.made sure
