13．Judging from recent surveys，most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic（流行病） of sleepiness in the nation．"I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to，"says Dr David．Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest．
The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century age．From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries，sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5hours a night．"The best sleep habits once were forced on us，when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm，and it was dark．"By the 1950s and 1960s，the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically，to between 7.5and 8hours，and most people had to wake to an alarm clock．"People cheat in their sleep，and they don't even realize they're doing it，"says Dr David．"They think they're okay because they can get by on 6.5hours，when they really need 7.5，8or even more to feel ideally energetic．"
Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep，researchers say，is the complexity of the day．Whenever pressures from work，family，friends and community increase，many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programme．"In our society，you're considered dynamic if you say you need only 5.5hours'sleep．If you've got to get 8.5hours，people think you lack drive and ambition．"
To determine the consequences of sleep-deficit，researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them，for instance，to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier．"We've found that if you're in sleep-deficit，performance suffers，"says Dr David．"Short-term memory is weakened，as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate．"

36．What is the main topic of the passage？A
A．Research on the causes and consequences of sleep-deficit．
B．The epidemic of sleepiness in the modern times．
C．The history of people's sleeping patterns．
D．The minimum of our sleeping hours．
37．Which of the following is Di David's opinion？D
A．People who think they are sleeping enough are better off than those who don't．
B．Some people can remain energetic with only 6.5hours'sleep a night．
C．If they get 8.5hours'sleep，people will be full of drive and ambition．
D．People's mental power suffers if they are lacking in sleep．
38．People in the 18th and 19th centuries slept about 9.5hours a night becauseC．
A．they were forced by their parents to do so
B．they knew what was best for their health
C．they had no electricity
D．they were not so dynamic and ambitious as modern people are

C． the sufficient energy modern people usually have
D．loud noises in modern cities
40．What does the word"subjects"in the last paragraph mean？C

B．Branched of knowledge studied in a school．

20．Organic food，once considered something that only health fanatics desired，is now a regular feature at most supermarkets．And that has created a bit of a dilemma．On the one hand，you have a conventionally grown apple．On the other，you have one that's organic．Both apples are firm，shiny and red．Both provide vitamins and fiber，and both are free of fat，sodium and cholesterol．
Conventionally grown food generally costs less，but is organic food a better choice？The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and sold food products are now being debated on a large scale．Supporters of organic foods-a term whose meaning varies greatly-are frequently telling the world that such products are safer and more nutritious than others．
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of daily foods is a welcome development．However，much of this interest has been aroused by sweeping claims that the conventional food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs．
Almost daily，the public is surrounded by claims for"no-aging"diets，new vitamins and other wonder foods．There are numerous unsubstantiated（没证实的） reports that natural vitamins are superior to man-made ones，that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs，that untreated grains are better than those treated with insect spray and the like．
Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence，large amounts of written material about the benefits of organic foods makes it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction．As a result，claims that eating a diet consisting of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely advertised and form the basis for people's opinion．
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods．But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods．So there is real cause for concern if consumers，particularly those with limited incomes，distrust the conventional food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead．
41．According to Paragraph 2，which of the following statements about organic food is true？B
A．It hasn't been used until recent years
B．It has no agreed definition．
C．It is popular among producers
D．It is accepted by most nutritionists．
42．In Paragraph 4，treated grains are examples ofC．
A．healthier food                         
B．organic food             
C．conventionally grown food               
D．expensive food           
43．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．most doctors believe organic foods prevent disease or provide other benefits to health
B．organic foods are actually less nutritious than conventionally grown foods
C．people cannot separate fact from fiction because of the TV advertisements
D．organic foods cost more but are not necessarily better than conventionally grown foods
44．According to the passage，many consumers are attracted by organic foods because theyC
A．want to try something new               
B．have carefully researched the products
C．value food safety and nutrition             
D．expect to save some money
45．What is the author's attitude towards the claims of organic foods？A
A．Doubtful．B．Enthusiastic．C．Supportive．D．Uninterested．

17．Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch？Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can't you be bothered to do？
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．
Just over 2000people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain's largest health charity．The results were astonishing．
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly，of the 654respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them．
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese （very fat） before they start school．
Dr Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health，said："People need to get fitter，not just for their own sake，but for the sake of their families，friends and evidently their pets too．
"If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most  rudimentary  of tasks．"
And Scotland's largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK，with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%．
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service，where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year．

71．What causes children in the UK to be obese？D
A．Eating ready meal          B．Watching TV
C．Doing Internet shopping    D．Being lazy
72．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．British people are too lazy to do anything．
B．Internet shopping will do harm to your health．
C．Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain．
D．People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit．
73．Which of the following is Not true according to the passage？A
A．One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV．
B．People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit．
C．Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer．
D．More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40years ago．
74．What does the underlined word  rudimentary  most probably mean？A
A．basic       B．serious
C．vital       D．hard
75．All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK exceptC．
