Nearly everyone has spent at least one night lying in bed wishing for sleep. But for many, it's a nightly struggle. The key, or secret, is to experiment. What works for some might not work as well for others.
Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, help your body adjust.
If you're getting enough sleep, you should wake up on time naturally without an alarm. As with your bedtime, try to maintain your regular wake-up time even on weekends.
Be smart about napping. While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge, especially for older adults, it can make insomnia(失眠)worse. If you must nap, do it in the early afternoon, and limit it to thirty minutes.
Fight after-dinner drowsiness(睡意). What should you do when getting sleepy before your bedtime? For example, washing the dishes, or calling a friend. If you give in to the drowsiness, you may wake up later in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.
A. Wake up at the same time every day.
B. Spend more time outside in the day time.
C. When it's time to sleep, make sure the room is dark.
D. Get off the couch and do something to avoid falling asleep.
E. If insomnia is a problem for you, consider giving up napping.
F. It's important to find the sleep strategies that work best for you.
G. Choose a time when you normally feel tired so that you can fall asleep easily.

【答案】F;G;A;E;D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,要介绍的是与失眠作斗争的方法。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文”What works for some might not work as well for others“,对一些人有效的方法不一定对其他人也有效,所以应该找到适合自己入眠的方法。故选F。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文”Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night.“制定一个有规律的睡眠时间,每晚在相同的时刻入睡。因此接下来说选择一个自己感到疲倦的时刻,因此能够容易入睡。故选G。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文”If you're getting enough sleep, you should wake up on time naturally without an alarm.“如果你得到了足够的睡眠,你应该不需要闹钟就可以按时自然醒来。故前面应该说,每天在相同的时间醒来。故选A。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文”While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge, especially for older adults, it can make insomnia(失眠)worse.“小睡是一个养精蓄锐的好方式,尤其对于老年人,它能使失眠减缓。后文应该说,但是如果失眠对你来说是一个问题的话,那么应该考虑放弃小睡了。故选E。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文”What should you do when getting sleepy before your bedtime?“在你睡觉时间之前,如果感到疲倦的话,应该如何?可知下文应该说的是减少倦意的方式,故D符合。

This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700,000 tourists. would crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them.
International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the World Trade Organization. .

In our fast developing, modern society where stress has become part of people's life, people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities.
No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind. In 18th century Europe, young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education.

When people today talk about a tiny house, they probably mean the trendy living space that's about the size of a shed (棚). But you would have to be five inches tall to live in the original tiny houses. Dollhouse(小房子),which have been around for several centuries, don't offer shelter to real people, but they provide a vivid(生动的) experience of life in times and places both real and imaginary.
The National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., lets visitors time travel in this tiny world through ―Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse,” an exhibit that opened Saturday. Visitors can see twelve dollhouses from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, which contain amazing tiny furnishings. But those people who put together the exhibit also wanted visitors to know the characters inside.
“It's 300 years of British homes told through their inhabitants (居民),” said Alice Sage, who is in charge of the London museum.
So as visitors look inside the Tate Baby House, a fancy townhouse from 1760, they can push a button to hear a young woman get a lecture from her mother on the proper way to run a home. In the Killer Cabinet house, a servant named Betsy complains about the problems of city life in the 1830s. “We've got the cat to keep the rats away,” she says.
That dollhouse was John Killer's gift to his wife and five daughters. The girls were allowed to play with the house, but they probably also learned a few lessons, Sage said.
“The kitchen of the house would have been the perfect way to teach the girls about the management of a home,” she said, noting the tiny dishes and pots.
Those who prefer a more modern look won't be disappointed. There are two rooms displaying a white dollhouse from 1935, an apartment house from the 1960s and a brightly colored 21st-century design.
The end of the exhibit shows how imaginative design sometimes works best in small spaces.
The Building Museum asked twenty-four artists, designers and architects from across the United States to each create a “dream room” from the past, present or future. Some of these unique small rooms were made using traditional furnishings, others from materials such as clay, insects, 3D-printing, and even peeps marshmallow candies!
(1)Which of the following were on show Saturday?
A.A dozen dollhouses from England.
B.Some old shelters for poor people.
C.Some imaginary tiny furnishings.
D.A couple of fashionable living spaces.
(2)What is the function of the characters inside the Museum?
A.Working as organizers of the exhibit.
B.Making the exhibit more attractive.
C.Providing good services for visitors.
D.Helping visitors understand dollhouses.
(3)What can we learn about the Killer Cabinet house?
A.It was made up of 24 tiny rooms.
B.Its kitchen may have an educational purpose.
C.Its history dates back to the 17th century.
D.It was owned by a woman named Betsy.
(4)What might be the best title of the passage?
A.An exhibit of dollhouses.
B.The history of dollhouses.
C.How to make a dollhouse.
D.Amazing tiny furniture.

【题目】Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful,there's a natural impulse to catch and own it—which means, in this day and age,that we can't help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.

Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.

These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.

He argued that humans have a born tendency(倾向)to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin's eyes, there's one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesn't matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.

Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only "artists" would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.

So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly(心不在焉地).When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.

1What does the underlined word "impulse" mean?

A. Interest. B. Urge.

C. Habit. D. Reaction.

2What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. An effective solution to storing something nice.

B. Reasons for taking pictures in the first place.

C. Problems related with taking photos.

D. Methods of storing pictures in phones.

3It can be inferred that John Ruskin______.

A. lived at the origin of photography

B. lived at the origin of drawing

C. studied the history of photography

D. was an English literature critic

4How did John Ruskin advise us to remember our travel?

A. By taking photographs.

B. By buying meaningful souvenirs.

C. By writing some travel notes.

D. By trying drawing what we see.
