1．A recent research shows that the "short sleepers" had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens.But at the age of 15 or so，the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school，work，and other activities.These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.
In general，these "short sleepers" appeared ambitious，active，energetic，cheerful，and very sure about their career choices.They often held several jobs at once，or worked full-or part-time while going to school.And many of them had a strong urge to appear " normal " or " acceptable " to their family，friends and so on.
When asked to recall their dreams，the " short sleepers " did poorly.More than this，they seemed to prefer not rememberjye.aig.In similar situation，their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed，and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The sleep patterns of the " short sleepers " were similar to，but less extreme than，sleep patterns shown by many mental patients.
The " long sleepers " were quite from different indeed.The research shows that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood.They seemed to enjoy their sleep，protected it，and were quite concerned when they were occasionally robbed of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest.They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the " short sleepers ".
（1）According to the report，which of the following statement is correct？
A．many " short sleepers " needed less sleep before they were teenagers.
B．many " short sleepers " were forced to reduce their nightly sleep time.
C．many " long sleepers " were quite concerned when they slept 9 hours.
D．many " long sleepers "had kept their sleeping habits since childhood.
（2）What view were many " short sleepers " likely to hold？
A．Sleep could make people appear active and cheerful.
B．Sleep was the least important on their daily routines.
C．They were acceptable to all their friends and family.
D．They were less extreme than many mental patients.
（3）What can be concluded from the third paragraph？
A． " Short sleepers "dealt with the psychological trouble themselves.
B． " Short sleepers " were unwilling to face psychological problems.
C． " Short sleepers " shortened the sleeping time because of pressures.
D． " Short sleepers " would rather remember than forget their dreams.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．Ever since it was created 30 years ago，The Simpsons，the longest running prime-time（黃金時(shí)段） TV show in the country，has become part of US life.
It was the show that changed the very concept of cartoons in Western society.Before it appeared，cartoons were considered a way to learn and have fun，not serious adult entertainment.The Simpsons changed this.The genius of the show is that it has something to offer both adults and children.
It's a hugely entertaining program that's also full of satire（諷刺的） and clever humor.The show's creators make fun of the US government，social customs，and of course，the idea of family life.But unlike most classic US prime-time TV characters the Simpsons are a dys-functional（功能失調(diào)的） family.
Bart，the boy，is always in trouble---both at home and at school.That may be in part because of his paternal example.Homer Simpson，perhaps the most iconic（標(biāo)志性的） character，is a beer-swilling，overweight slob who is normally found in front of the TV.And Marge，Homer's wife and the mother of the family，spends most of her time cooking，cleaning or trying to fix the messes that Bart and Homer make.
The smartest member of the family is daughter Lisa，who does well in school but is no goody-goody---Lisa never misses an opportunity to challenge authority.The youngest member of the family is baby Maggie，who will likely be as much of a handful as her brother and sister when she grows up.
But although the Simpsons are a problem family，viewers are always on their side.One of the reasons why the show has remained so popular all these years is that the characters are so lovely.Millions of us identify with them.They are a working class family struggling to make ends meet.They aren't perfect，but then，who is？And after 30 years，this is still what strikes a chord with millions of viewers worldwide.
（1）According to the article，the Simpsons.
A．Is a program designed only for fun.
B．reminds people of their sad childhoods.
C．is suitable for both adults and kids.
D．is difficult to understand for many people.
（2）Which of the following statement is TRUE about the Simpsons family according to the article？
A．They all show great support to the government.
B．They are an ordinary family with many problems.
C．Bart and Lisa are the troublemakers of the family.
D．The children regard Homer as their role model.
（3）According to the article，viewers like the Simpsons mainly because.
A．they have the courage to challenge authority.
B．they are a happy and perfect family.
C．they teach viewers how to fix problems.
D．their lives and problems are similar to real people's.
（4）What is the article mainly about？
A．What kind of stories The Simpsons tells.
B．The most popular characters in The Simpsons.
C．Changes to The Simpsons over the years.
D．Reasons behind The Simpsons' lasting popularity.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．If you could travel in time，where would you go？Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England？
What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period？Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing.Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years.Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine，which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time.It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name，as well as two television versions，and a large number of comic book adaptations.It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively.The term "time machine"，coined by Wells，is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible？Some scientists say yes，in theory.They propose using cracks in time and space called"wormholes"，which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past，there is something called the "grandfather paradox".It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason，and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born，how would he travel back in time？
And would you really like to visit the future？In H．G．Wells' book，the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（觸角）.
If that's what's in store，maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
（1）What is the aim of the novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 ？
A．To show people's interest in time travel.
B．To show the special feature of the book.
C．To show the long history of time travel.
D．To show the contribution of H．G．Wells.
（2）Einstein's and Hawking's theories.
A．have similarities in many ways
B．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
C．have proved wrong by some time travelers
D．push the invention of the first spaceship
（3）What idea does"grandfather paradox"in Paragraph 4 refer to ？
A．The traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather.
B．The traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather.
C．The grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible.
D．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

4．How to Eat Slowly to Avoid Overeating Eating slowly can help you to better understand your real hunger signals and can help you to recognize reasons for faster eating，such as emotions or simply liking the taste of a food．However，eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly．（1）
●Adjust your mind．Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you're mentally ready．Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will remember．As part of this mental process，imagine yourself lean and fit．
●（2）Eating slowly isn't just about slowing down the chewing；it's also about slowing down your food choices．As you pick out the processed food，replace it with healthy，unprocessed or less processed choices．
●Always relax before you start eating．Take a few deep breaths through the nose and not through the mouth．As you do so，hold your breath briefly and exhale （呼氣） slowly by the mouth．（3）In this way，you start to remove any risk of uncomfortable eating．
●Drink a glass of water or eat a small bowl of soup before your main dish．This will give you a sense of fullness．Be aware that not everyone advocates drinking during a meal，as some people believe that this can remove the nutrients from your meal．（4）
●Spend at least 20 minutes on your meal．（5）Eat your last portion really slowly．If you are still hungry after 20 minutes，it means you are eating too fast!
A．Get rid of the stress before you start eating．
B．Put the fork down after putting food in your mouth．
C．Rather，it's a habit that you'll need to acquire with practice．
D．However，specialists believe water actually aids in digestion．
E．It is wise to speak to your doctor about this，if it's still a problem for you．
F．Have a wall clock in plain view from the table to adjust your eating speed．
G．Remove as much processed food from your plate or food storage as possible．組卷：11引用：5難度：0.5
