How was your sleep last night? Sleep is important for health. How can we have healthy sleep? Take a look at some advice.
Wake up naturally
Waking up to a ringing alarm is never fun. Studies show that when you get shocked by the alarm, your breathing will go up, your heart will have more beats and your blood pressure will rise.
“This is a very unhappy way to start the day,” sleep scientist Whitney Roban said. “You’ll feel worse if you go back to sleep a few more minutes. It’s important to follow your body’s natural sleep—wake cycle (循环).”
So what should we do? Try to use an alarm with softer and lower sounds. Or leave a crack(缝隙) in the curtains(窗帘)—the rising sun will wake you up.
Sleep early and get up early
Some young people may go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. They think as long as they have eight hours of sleep, everything will be fine.
But in fact, our bodies can tell time. They use light and temperature to do so. If we wake up too late, our bodies might feel stuck between sleep and being awake. That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping.
24. According to studies, what will happen to your body if an alarm wakes you up suddenly?
A. Your heart will beat faster. B. You may breathe more slowly.
C. Your body temperature will go up. D. You will have lower blood pressure.
25. Which of the following does Whitney Roban agree?
A. Trying to use an alarm with louder sounds.
B. Going back to sleep again after waking up.
C. Reading magazines online before going to bed.
D. Following the body’s natural sleep—wake cycle.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It is necessary for people to oversleep.
B. Heavy work can lead to oversleeping.
C. It is hard to change people’s sleeping habits.
D. Oversleeping sometimes makes us more tired.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why people need to sleep. B. Why people have sleeping problems.
C. How to have healthy sleep. D. How to wake up in a natural way.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文就如何拥有健康的睡眠给出了一些建议。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Studies show that when you get shocked by the alarm, your breathing will go up, your heart will have more beats and your blood pressure will rise.”可知如果闹钟突然把人叫醒，我们心脏会跳地更快。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It’s important to follow your body’s natural sleep—wake cycle (循环).”可知睡眠科学家Whitney Roban认为：我们要遵循身体的自然睡眠——觉醒周期。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If we wake up too late, our bodies might feel stuck between sleep and being awake. That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping.(如果我们醒得太晚，我们的身体可能会感到困在睡眠和清醒之间。这就是为什么有时我们在睡过头后会感到更累。)”可知本段告诉我们睡过头会让我们更累。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。本文就如何拥有健康的睡眠给出了一些建议。故选C。

As an artist, Pei Haozheng is well-known for paper folding. In his eyes, a piece of paper holds great possibilities. He can fold it into anything.
He used his skills in his work, Deer with 100 Flowers(花生满鹿). It’s a deer with 100 flowers on its antlers(鹿角). Without cuts or glue, he used a piece of paper with side lengths(长度) of 2.22 meters to finish the whole work. As for the idea for the work, Pei said it came from a Chinese saying. It not only shows the wishes for Chinese young people to have a bright future, but also the deep love for our country.
As a child, Pei learned folding from teachers and parents, and later he copied the patterns from books. Gradually, he was drawn into the paper world.
For Pei, folding is an art that needs many skills. For example, it needs knowledge of math to make sure everything is in the right place, such as the different angles(角度) and the lengths of the creases(折痕). However, Pei thinks artistic beauty and exact folding are both important. Going too far with either won’t make good work.
As an artist, Pei wants to tell the Chinese story through paper. “For me, paper folding is not just a special skill, but an art that can pass culture and last forever,” said Pei.
28. What do we know about Pei Haozheng’s work, Deer with 100 Flowers?

B. He used 100 flowers to make a deer with his parents.
C It shows good wishes for Chinese young people and the country.
D. It is made of some pieces of paper with the lengths of 2.22 meters.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How to learn math well. B. How to be a creative artist.
C. What is less important for folding. D. What skills are needed for his work.
30. What did Pei Haozheng say about paper folding?
A. He used it to spread Chinese culture.
B. It helped much to learn it earlier.
C. He wanted to teach people the skills.
D. It made him famous all over the world.
31. What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain why Pei’s work is so popular.
B. To introduce a Chinese artist Pei Haozheng.
C. To describe the development of paper folding.
D. To express the writer’s love for Chinese tradition.

【29题详解】

【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“As an artist, Pei wants to tell the Chinese story through paper. ‘For me, paper folding is not just a special skill, but an art that can pass culture and last forever,’ said Pei.(作为一名艺术家，裴浩正想通过纸来讲述中国的故事。裴浩正说：“对我来说，折纸不仅仅是一种特殊的技能，而是一种可以传递文化、永存的艺术。”)”可知裴浩正想借助折纸艺术来传递中国文化。故选A。

Recently, I went out to a bar with my friend Nicole. I didn’t actually know her well as we had only met once at a meeting. When I found myself in her town, we decided to meet up. Since we knew little about each other, we shared our stories, and she asked me many questions about my travels.
When answering her questions about what I had learned in my travels, I told Nicole that travel had greatly improved my ability to “read” people and situations.
“Oh? OK. Read my friends over there,” she challenged me.
So I offered her my opinions about her friends and the other people in the bar.
“How did I do?” I asked when I had finished.
“Wow!” She was shocked.
You might want to know how I was able to get those people right. For sure, I knew nothing about mind games. I judged(判断) their personalities simply by reading their body language, facial expressions, dress, and the way they talked with one another.
I had travelled a lot before. When I was travelling, I couldn’t always understand what people were trying to say to me as most of them didn’t speak English. Non-verbal communication became very important. Whenever words failed, I depended on people’s facial expressions. By watching how people behaved, I tried to work out how they felt about something. The tone (音调) in people’s voices was quite helpful, too.
The more I travelled and the more I talked with different people, the better I became at “reading” people. If you travel widely, you will be able to develop this ability, too.
32. What was the relationship between Nicole and the writer before their recent meet?
A. They were close friends. B. They didn’t know each other well.
C. They used to work in the same office. D. They often went to the bar together.
33. How did Nicole feel after the writer had read her friends in the bar?
A. Thankful. B. Nervous. C. Surprised. D. Uncomfortable.
34. According to the article, how does the writer “read” people?
A. By playing a clever trick on them.
B. By surveying some of their friends.
C By having a short conversation with them.
D. By studying their clothes, expressions and so on.
35. What does the underlined word “non-verbal” mean?
A. Taking place online. B. Not using words.
C. Not writing English. D. Talking with strangers.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了作者通过旅行得到了“非言语交流”就能识别人的能力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I didn’t actually know her well as we had only met once at a meeting.”可知，他们彼此不太了解，故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“‘Wow!’ She was shocked.”可知，当作者辨别了她在酒吧里的朋友们后，Nicole感觉很震惊，故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I judged(判断) their personalities simply by reading their body language, facial expressions, dress, and the way they talked with one another.”可知，作者通过他们的肢体语言、面部表情、衣着以及他们彼此交谈的方式来判断，故选D。
【35题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Non-verbal communication became very important. Whenever words failed, I depended on people’s facial expressions.”可知，每当言语无法表达时，我就依靠人们的面部表情，所以前面说的是“非语言性的表达很重要”，单词“non-verbal”指的是“非语言的”，故选B。

【导语】本文主要讲述了有关屈原的传说，以及端午节的习俗。
【41题详解】
句意：在所有关于它的传说中，最著名的是关于屈原的。根据“Of all the legends (传说) about it”可知，三者以上的比较要用最高级，且形容词最高级前要加the，故填the most famous。
【42题详解】
句意：当他意识到他的国家越来越弱时，他感到很伤心。根据“weaker… weaker”可知，此处是比较级and比较级的结构，表示“越来越……”，故填and。
【43题详解】
句意：公元前278年农历五月初五，屈原投汨罗江自尽，为祖国而死。根据“Qu threw…into the Miluo River”可知，他自己投江自尽了，此空应填反身代词himself，故填himself。
【44题详解】
句意：住在河边的人急忙乘船寻找他。根据“rushed into their boats… for him”可知，乘船的目的是为了寻找他，用动词不定式表目的，故填to search。
【45题详解】
句意：他们把粽子和其他食物扔进河里，以防止鱼吃屈原的尸体。根据“They threw zongzi and other food into the river to keep fish…eating Qu’s body”可知，往河里扔食物的目的是为了防止鱼吃屈原的尸体，keep…from“阻止”，故填from。
【46题详解】

【47题详解】
句意：为了纪念屈原，在这一天举行龙舟比赛和往河里扔粽子的习俗被流传下来，这个节日被命名为“端午节”。根据“the holiday was … ‘Dragon Boat Festival.’”可知，节日被命名为“端午节”，主语holiday与动词name之间是被动关系，此空应填过去分词，故填named。
【48题详解】
