题目内容

【题目】 Now, you may be thinking, “Oh my goodness, how do I start to get better sleep? 【1】” Well, beyond avoiding the damaging and harmful impact of alcohol and caffeine on sleep, and if you’re struggling with sleep at night, avoiding naps during the day, I have two pieces of advice for you.

The first is regularity. Go to bed at the same time, wake up at the same time, no matter whether it’s the weekday or the weekend. Regularity is king, and it will anchor your sleep and improve the quantity and the quality of that sleep.

【2】 Your body needs to drop its core temperature by about two to three degrees Fahrenheit (华氏) to initiate sleep and then to stay asleep, and it’s the reason you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot. So aim for a bedroom temperature of around 65 degrees, or about 18 degrees Celsius (摄氏度). 【3】

And then finally, in taking a step back, then, what is the mission-critical statement here? Well, I think it may be this: sleep, unfortunately, is not an optional lifestyle luxury. 【4】 It is your life-support system, and it is Mother Nature’s best effort yet at immortality (长生不老). And the decrease of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a disastrous impact on our health, our wellness, even the safety and the education of our children. 【5】 And it’s fast becoming one of the greatest public health challenges that we face in the 21st century.

A.Is it a good idea to stay up?

B.The second is keep it cool.

C.It’s a silent sleep loss disease.

D.Sleep is a biological necessity.

E.What are your tips for good sleep?

F.That’s going to be the best option for the sleep of most people.

G.You can’t update your memory if you don’t have enough sleep.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】B

【3】F

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。21世纪威胁公众健康的最大挑战之一就是睡眠缺失症，那如何能睡个好觉，本文提出了两点建议，同时说明了睡眠对人的重要性。

【1】

根据上文Oh my goodness, how do I start to get better sleep?可知哦，我的天哪，我怎么才能睡得更好呢？以及空的后一句 if you're struggling with sleep at night, avoiding naps during the day, I have two pieces of advice for you.可知如果你晚上睡不好觉就要避免在白天睡觉，我有两条建议。由此可知，本句是在询问如何睡好觉。故E选项“你有什么好的睡眠秘诀吗？”符合上下文语境，故选E。

【2】

根据后文Your body needs to drop its core temperature by about two to three degrees Fahrenheit to initiate sleep and then to stay asleep, and it’s the reason you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot.可知你的身体需要降低核心温度大约2到3华氏度来开始睡眠，然后保持睡眠状态，这就是为什么你会发现在一个冷的房间里比在一个热的房间里更容易入睡。由此可知，本句为第二条建议，是保持凉爽。故B选项“第二点是保持凉爽”符合上下文语境，故选B。

【3】

根据上文So aim for a bedroom temperature of around 65 degrees, or about 18 degrees Celsius.可知卧室的温度要控制在65华氏度左右，或者大约摄氏18度。由此可知，本句承接上文说为什么要这么设置温度——对于大多数人来说，这是最好的睡眠选择。故F选项“对于大多数人来说，这是最好的睡眠选择”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【4】

根据后文It is your life-support system, and it is Mother Nature’s best effort yet at immortality.可知它是你的生命维持系统，也是大自然母亲为永生所做的最大努力。由此可知，睡眠是一个不容置疑的生理需要。故D选项“睡眠是一种生理需要”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【5】

根据上文And the decrease of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a disastrous impact on our health, our wellness, even the safety and the education of our children.可知整个工业化国家睡眠的减少对我们的健康，甚至我们的孩子的安全和教育造成了灾难性的影响。以及后文And it’s fast becoming one of the greatest public health challenges that we face in the 21st century.可知它正迅速成为我们在21世纪面临的最大的公共卫生挑战之一。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，睡眠的减少导致的是睡眠缺失症，且它正迅速成为我们在21世纪面临的最大的公共卫生挑战之一。故C选项“这是一种无声的睡眠缺失症”符合上下文语境，故选C。

【题目】 The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.

That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.

“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.

For all of Bellevue’s success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. “It’s not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says.

In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department’s traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.

【1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Increased length of green lights.B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.

C.Flexible timing of traffic signals.D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.

【2】What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?

A.They work better on broad roads.

B.They should be used in other cities.

C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.

D.They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.

【3】What can we learn from Bellevue’s success?

A.It is rewarding to try new things.B.The old methods still work today.

C.I pays to put theory into practice.D.The simplest way is the best way.

On Knowing the Difference

It is as though we can know nothing of a thing until we know its name. Can we be said to know what a pigeon is unless we know that it is a pigeon? We may have seen it again and again, and noted it as a bird with a full bosom and swift wings. But if we are not able to name it except vaguely as a “bird”, we seem to be separated from it by a vast distance of ignorance. Learn that it is a pigeon however, and immediately it rushes towards us across the distance, like something seen through a telescope. No doubt to the pigeon fancier (爱好者) this would seem but the most basic knowledge, and he would not think much of our acquaintance with pigeons if we could not tell a carrier from a pouter. That is the charm (魅力) of knowledge—it is merely a door into another sort of ignorance.

There are always new differences to be discovered, new names to be learned, new individualities to be known, new classifications to be made. No man with a grain of either poetry or the scientific spirit in him has any right to be bored with the world, though he lived for a thousand years.

There is scarcely a subject that does not contain sufficient differences to keep an explorer happy for a lifetime. It is said that thirteen thousand species of butterflies have already been discovered, and it is suggested that there may be nearly twice as many that have so far escaped the naturalists Many men give all the pleasant hours of their lives to learning how to know the difference between one kind of moth (蛾) and another. One used to see these moth-hunters on windless nights chasing their quarry fantastically with nets in the light of lamps. In chasing moths, they chase knowledge. This, they feel, is life at its most exciting, its most intense.

The townsman passing a field of sheep finds it difficult to believe that the shepherd can distinguish between one and another of them with as much certainty as if they were his children. And do not most of us think of foreigners as beings who are all turned out as if on a pattern, like sheep?

Thus our first generalizations spring from ignorance rather than from knowledge. They are true, as long as we know that they are not entirely true. As soon as we begin to accept them as absolute truths, they become lies. I do not wish to deny the importance of generalizations. It is not possible to think or even to act without them. The generalization that is founded on a knowledge of and a delight in the variety of things is the end of all science and poetry.
