题目内容

Shelly Nielsen sees students fall asleep in class at least twice a week. “When I see teens asleep in my class, I wonder if I am really that boring”, said Nielsen, a teacher. “I also wonder why they are so tired.” Neilson first tried to wake up sleeping students quietly. If the snoozing (呼噜声) continues, she may call a student’s parents to find out how much sleep the students is getting at night and why.

   According to a research, teens need at least nine hours of sleep to function properly during the day. And more than 90 percent of teens say they are sleeping less than that each night.

   Forgetting homework, yawning in class, losing concentration --- these are the signs of a sleep-deprived (被剥夺睡眠的)student, said Dr. Carl Lawyer, a specialist. “The big problem is the social demand for homework, video games and friends. Teens don’t understand how important sleep is.”

   Rebecca Lucas, another teacher agrees. “Teens are busy,” she said, noting many activities most teens are involved in during the day force them to get home pretty late.” When I see teens sleeping in my class, I feel sad, like they are not sleeping enough,” she said. “I also feel frustrated because I have so much to teach in such a short amount of time and teens sleeping in the class slows me down.”

   Not sleeping the needed number of hours can affect your day very much. The effect is on school, work and driving and is very frustrating to teachers when students don’t do their best because of being so tired, Lawyer said.

   Al Taylor, a teacher says sleeping is not allowed in his class. “When I see a teen sleeping in my class, I feel bad that they didn’t get enough sleep but they need to correct the issue at home,” Taylor said. “I’ve raised teenage boys myself. Teenagers like to wait to the last minute to do their homework so they often stay up late trying to finish it.”

72. What does Shelly first do when she finds students sleeping in class?

A. She wakes them up with no punishment.

B. She blames herself for giving a boring lesson.

C. She asks them to stand outside.

D. She reports it to their parents.

73. Students always feel tired and sleep in class because they __________.

A. have to stay up late to do their homework.

B. are attracted by many activities.

C. are not interested in the lessons

D. are too busy to have enough sleep

74. From the last paragraph, we can infer that Al Taylor __________.

A. can easily lose his temper

B. was a father of teenage boys

C. has no sympathy for sleeping students

D. finds a good way of giving teens more sleep

75. What is the main idea of the passage?

第二部分:阅读理解(共25小题。第一节每小题2分,第二节每小题1分;满分45分)

第一节  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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.

Using the same technology as a dehumidifier(除湿器),the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air.

The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in

developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.

The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter(过滤器)and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets.It can produce up to 1 2 liters a day.The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases.In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.

Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart.So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”

The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost £800 when it goes on sale here in the spring.Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a liter of water cost around 20p to produce.

Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080.One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.

The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.

41.What does the underlined word “it” refer do?

       A.Drinking water.              B.Invention.        C.Microwave.             D.Water Mill.

42.What do we learn about the machine?

       A.It works in the same way as microwaves.

       B.It is very expensive for families to afford.

       C.It absorbs steam and turns it into water.     

       D.It helps to make the water clean to drink.

43.What does the passage lead us to believe?

       A.The cost of water will go up.  B.Bottled water will disappear sooner.

       C.The machine is energy saving. D.The machine will be popular worldwide.

44.What’s the best title for the passage?

       A.A New Way to Solve Water Problem.    B.A Machine to Make Water out of Air.

       C.A Dehumidifier to Produce Water.      D.An Absolutely New Invention
