15.Having worked all day,most people find themselves(71)wishing(wish) for sleep.(72)Although/Thoughthe exact reasons why people sleep are still being debated,researchers (73)have come(come) up with a number of theories to explain the functions of sleep.First of all,sleep(74)is believed(believe)to give the body time to repair burned-out brain cells and make more of the special chemical that makes(75)itpossible for the brain to think.Another theory holds that sleep enables the body to save energy when we sleep.Because the body temperature is(76)lower(low),less energy is needed to create heat.This method of energy conservation may have helped people survive thousands of years ago(77)whenfood was hard to find.Sleep may also have helped humanity survive by keeping people(78)outof trouble.In prehistoric times,when many large predators(食肉动物) hunted in darkness,the habit of sleeping at night helped prevent people form being an animal's dinner.Scientists also believe that sleep,in addition to being a survival method,is used to improve memory.It allows that brain (79)to forgetforget) or unlearn things that are not necessary,(80)otherwise/orthe mind would become filled with unneeded information.

分析 短文主要讲述了科学家对睡眠的作用得出的一些理论.

解答 71.wishing,考查非谓语,句中有find+宾语+宾语补足语的结构,wish与其宾语themselves构成主动的关系,因此使用现在分词短语充当宾语补足语.            
72.Although/Though,考查连词,前后句子构成转折的关系,因此使用连词Though或Although. 
73.have come,考查谓语动词,根据语境表示"科学家已经想出一些理论"应使用现在完成时,故答案为have come. 
74.is believed,考查谓语动词,believe与主语sleep构成被动的关系,因此使用被动语态be done的形式.     
75.it,考查it用法,make+宾语+宾语补足语,句子的真正宾语是后面 for the brain to think,因此此处用it做形式宾语.
76.lower,考查形容词比较级,此处把睡觉时的身体温度跟平时的温度对比,因此使用形容词比较级lower.       
77.when,考查定语从句引导词,从句成分完整,先行词thousands of years ago在从句里充当时间状语,因此使用when引导定语从句.        
78.out,考查固定搭配,keep…out of trouble"远离麻烦".  
79.to forget,考查固定搭配,allow sb.to do sth."允许某人做某事",因此使用动词不定式to forget.     
80.otherwise/or,考查连词,根据语境应表示转折,故使用otherwise/or"不然的话,否则".

点评 对于语法填空这类题,一是懂得分析句子结构,二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性,从语法上确定答案,当然,对于某些固定搭配也要牢记,在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语,对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定.

3.It's good to receive gifts.It also feels better to give gifts to others.So what's the best way to budget your money,shop wisely and spend smartly this holiday season?Time for kids asked for advice from Susan Beacham of Money Savvy Generation,a company that teaches money-management skills to kids.
"My first tip is to make a list and check it twice,"says Beacham.She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend.Start by writing down names,Beacham says.Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up.Do you have enough money?If not,make changes.And don't forget----not everyone needs a store-bought gift.Beacham points out that some of the best presents are free.Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of time and talent.
Do the match
Take the list with you to the store and"make sure that you do the match,"says Beacham"If you've spent﹩30 on someone you were going to spent﹩25 on,you're going to have to spend﹩5 less on somebody else."The key to budgeting is staying within the boundaries you've set for yourself.
Gifts from the heart
The best gifts don't cost a thing.Here are some of Beacham's top gifts ideas.
●For parents,make coupons(礼券) that can be trade for your services,such as doing dishes.
●For grandma,write a note telling her how special she is to you.
●For a friend,create a work of art,like a poem,a drawing or a necklace.
●For teachers,bake a delicious cake.

10.Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling.One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush.City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going.And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.
At first this may seem unfriendly to you:people will push past you as they walk along the street.You will miss smiles and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant.Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly.Life is often much slower outside the big cities,which is true in other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities such as New York,Chicago,or Los Angeles,often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done.But when they discover that you are a stranger,most Americans become quite kind and will take great care to help you.

25.In American big cities,people rarelyC.
A.smile to each other                                     
  B.move at a fast pace
C.chat with each other in a shop                      
D.dine away from home
26.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A
A.Life pace is different inside and outside big cities.
B.Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world.
C.Life pace is the same in different parts of the world.
D.Life pace is similar in American cities,big or small.
27.It seems that Americans are cold to you because they thinkC.
A.you are a foreigner                                        
B.you know their way of life

20.Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few players who were truly great.How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice,or are great players born,not made?
First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate(模仿).In the history of soccer,only seven countries have ever won the World Cup.There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.
Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game.Pele,who is often named as the greatest soccer of all time,was the son of a soccer player.He began to play soccer with his father when he was only three.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood-a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer(艺人).For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beatles,had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a"ball"made of rags(破布).And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall(对着墙壁踢球)in the slums(贫民窟)of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great.Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

60.According to the writer,which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.Great soccer players are born,not made.
B.Truly great players are rare.
C.Only two countries have ever had famous soccer stars.
D.Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.
61.Pele is cited as an example in the third paragraph to illustrate thatD.
A.great players come from places that have had famous stars in the past
B.many great soccer players come from poor areas
C.great players are all born with some unique physical quality
D.many great players start playing football at an early age.
62.The author owes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPTD.
A.family background
B.neighborhood
C.practice
D.height
63.In the last paragraph,why the author says that only one out of hundreds of boys became Pele?B
A.Because they are all from North America.
B.Because most of the boys lack some unique quality.
C.Because all great players have a lot in common.
D.Because boys of this time are born in rich neighborhood.
