Sleep repairs the body and the mind and helps prevent disease by strengthening the immune system. However, many adults do not get eight hours of sleep each night. The average adult today gets only 6.4 hours of sleep. Only in recent years have health professionals begun to realize the seriousness of sleep deprivation in the working population. A significant number of people work at night, work long hours, or suffer from sleeplessness or jet lag.
Studies show that the brain is negatively affected by sleep deprivation because certain patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur during sleep are interrupted and the brain cannot function normally. In one study thirteen healthy adult subjects(实验对象) who usually had normal sleep patterns were kept awake and carefully monitored in a lab during a period of 35 hours. During the experiment, the subjects were asked to perform several tasks, such as mathematics and word problems, while undergoing scans of their brain activity. The researchers found that the temporal lobe (颞叶) of the brain, the region involved in language processing, was active during speech tasks in rested subjects but not in subjects who lacked enough sleep. After several hours without sleep, there was no activity within this region.
Several studies show that getting fewer than six hours of sleep can damage short-term memory and reaction time—thus causing a serious risk of accident. In one study of drivers, researchers reported that sleep deprivation had the same effects as being drunk. They found that people who drove after being awake for 17 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.5 percent, the legal limit for drunk driving in most western European countries. The researchers concluded that countries with drunk driving laws should consider similar restrictions against sleep-deprived driving.
4. The underlined word "deprivation" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.
A. weakness
B. loss
C. discomfort
D. pain
5. The passage mentions all of the following as causes of sleep deprivation EXCEPT______.
A. jet lag
B. long work hours
C. boring work
D. working at night
6. The purpose of the study described in Paragraph 2 was to determine_________.
A. how many hours people can survive without sleep
B. how people react when their sleep is interrupted
C. the changes in brain activity that occurs during sleep
D. the effects of sleep deprivation on brain activity
7. Why does the author mention blood alcohol level in Paragraph 3?
A. To show how sleep deprivation reduces the blood alcohol level.
B. To show that sleep deprivation has the same dangerous effects as being drunk.
C. To suggest that sleep-deprived drivers are also likely to drink.
D. To argue against raising the legal limit for drunk driving.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines. Including robots, will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DC.
About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.
Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.
Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver s scat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said,
Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates,
Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built, the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years.
8. What do Americans think of technology?
A. Useful
B. Effective
C. Dangerous.
D. Undependable.
9. Which of the following do the majority of Americans want the government to do?
A. Use machines to do dangerous and harmful jobs.
B. Increase job chances by introducing machines
C. Select a person for a job by computer.
D. Get rid of all driverless vehicles.
10. What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do?
A. Refuse self-driving vehicles.
B. Create new job chances.
C. Consider large projects.
D. Fight against robots.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Technology Creates More Jobs
B. New Technology Makes New Unfairness
C. Americans Worry Robots Will Take Jobs
D. Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】

D
Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.
Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk’s flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.
Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.
Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.
Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.
Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?
12. What may Kitty Hawk’s flying car be used for at present?
A. Accelerating the speed. B. Having fun.
C. Advertising the company. D. Fetching water.
13. What do we know about Kitty Hawk’s flying car from the third paragraph?
A. It costs two thousand dollars each. B. It can travel over water.
C. It offers $100 to its potential buyers. D. It hasn’t gone to market.
14. In what way is Uber’s flying taxi similar to Kitty Hawk’s flying car?
A. They travel at the same speed. B. They are electric-powered.
C. They are supported by the Uber app. D. They require a flying license.
15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?
A. To call for public donations. B. To introduce some advantages.
C. To promote interest in science. D. To talk about possible problems.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
上周，Kitty Hawk和 Uber两家公司宣布他们很快就会使飞行汽车成为现实。文章具体介绍了两家公司研制的飞行汽车的一些特点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“It says such a machine “… may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes”可知，目前，该飞行汽车主要用于消遣娱乐。故B选项正确。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year”可知，Kitty Hawk的飞行汽车还没有定价。预计到今年年底进行销售。由此可以推知，该飞行汽车还没有上市。故D选项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“the car is electric-powered”和第四段中的“Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power”可知，它们都是电动的。故B选项正确。
【15题详解】
写作目的题。由最后一段中的“Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?”可知，该段介绍了飞行汽车可能出现的问题。故D选项正确。

【点睛】完形填空解题技巧二、上下联系——寻信息
文章中，句与句之间、段与段之间紧密相连、浑然一体。因此，完形填空中经常会出现前面的信息为后面的空白提供暗示，而后面的信息有可能是前面空白的答案的情况。这时，考生切不可死盯空白不放，而要联系上下文，寻求信息以确定答案。第二小题考生可以根据第三段中的“It ___12___ there for a decade, during which my mother died”得出答案。

That came into sight was a flash of lightning. Seconds later, the noise of thunder broke the silent. Then a strong wind starts to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk was blown high into the air and some flew out the open window. Then I closed the window when it rained hard and near broke my window.
What a bad weather! I hate it so I can’t go out to play.

【答案】Dear Mary,
So glad to hear from you! I’m delighted that you are concerned about the most popular / downloaded app Tik Tok (Douyin) among Chinese students nowadays.
Tik Tok is an app of short video platform where people can show and share their life in a relaxing and lively way.The contents range from a lovely sleeping baby to a pet dog with funny behavior. On the one hand, it can enrich people’s life and relieve people of pressure to some degree. On the other hand, it may make people addicted to it so deeply that it can waste too much time and make their life circle smaller, affecting their real life and devotion to work.
Therefore, only when we use Tik Tok in an appropriate way can it benefit us most. Would you please introduce some interesting apps to me?
Best wishes!
