B
Getting
less
sleep
has
become
a
bad
habit
for
most
American
kids.
According
to
a
new
survey(调查)
by
the
National
Sleep
Foundation,
51%
of
kids
aged
10
to
18
go
to
bed
at
10
pm
or
later
on
school
nights,
even
though
they
have
to
get
up
early.
Last
year
the
Foundation
reported
that
nearly
60%
of
7-
to
12-year-olds
said
they
felt
tired
during
the
day,
and
15%
said
they
had
fallen
asleep
at
school.
How
much
sleep
you
need
depends
a
lot
on
your
age.
Babies
need
a
lot
of
rest:
most
of
them
sleep
about
18
hours
a
day!
Adults
need
about
eight
hours.
For
most
school-age
children,
ten
hours
is
ideal(理想的).
But
the
new
National
Sleep
Foundation
survey
found
that
35%
of
10-
to
12-year-olds
get
only
seven
or
eight
hours.
And
guess
what
almost
half
of
the
surveyed
kids
said
they
do
before
bedtime?
Watch
TV.
“More
children
are
going
to
bed
with
TVs
on,
and
there
are
more
opportunities(机会)
to
stay
awake,
with
more
homework,
the
Internet
and
the
phone,”
says
Dr.
Mary
Carskadon,
a
sleep
researcher
at
Brown
University
Medical
School.
She
says
these
activities
at
bedtime
can
get
kids
all
excited
and
make
it
hard
for
them
to
calm
down
and
sleep.
Other
experts
say
part
of
the
problem
is
chemical.
Changing
levels
of
body
chemicals
called
hormones
not
only
make
teenagers’
bodies
develop
adult
characteristics,
but
also
make
it
hard
for
teenagers
to
fall
asleep
before
11
pm.
Because
sleepiness
is
such
a
problem
for
teenagers,
some
school
districts
have
decided
to
start
high
school
classes
later
than
they
used
to.
Three
years
ago,
schools
in
Edina,
Minnesota,
changed
the
start
time
from
7:25
am
to
8:30
am.
Students,
parents
and
teachers
are
pleased
with
the
results.
4.
What
is
the
general
idea
of
the
first
paragraph?
A.
All
American
kids
get
less
sleep.
B.
American
kids
have
bad
habits.
C.
Most
Americans
kids
get
less
sleep
and
the
bad
influence
of
it.
D.
American
kids
feel
asleep
in
class.
5.
Which
of
the
following
statements
is
correct?
A.
When
you
sleep
depends
on
your
age.
B.
Most
children
watch
TV
before
they
sleep.
C.
Some
children
are
lacking
in
sleep.
D.
Adults
will
be
healthier
if
they
get
more
sleep.
6.
Why
do
children
find
it
hard
to
fall
asleep?
A.
They
get
too
excited
before
11p.m.
B.
Hormones
get
high
at
night.
C.
Their
bodies
develop
adult
characteristics.
D.
They
may
watch
too
much
TV.
7.

is
the
author’s
attitude
toward
the
change
of
school
start
time?
A.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙。睡眠不足已成为大多数美国孩子的坏习惯。短文介绍了不同年龄人的睡眠时间，孩子难以入睡的原因以及一些学校采取的措施。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Getting
less
sleep
has
become
a
bad
habit
for
most
American
kids.
Last
year
the
Foundation
reported
that
nearly
60%
of
7-
to
12-year-olds
said
they
felt
tired
during
the
day,
and
15%
said
they
had
fallen
asleep
at
school.”（睡眠不足已成为大多数美国孩子的坏习惯。去年，该基金会报告称，7至12岁的孩子中，近60%的人白天感到疲劳，15%的人说他们在上课时睡着了。）由此可知，第一段主要在说大多数美国孩子睡眠不足及其不良影响。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Getting
less
sleep
has
become
a
bad
habit
for
most
American
kids.”（睡眠不足已成为大多数美国孩子的坏习惯）由此可知，有些孩子缺乏睡眠。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“More
children
are
going
to
bed
with
TVs
on，”（越来越多的孩子在上床睡觉时还在看电视）由此判断出，孩子难以入睡的原因可能是因为他们看了太多的电视。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Because
sleepiness
is
such
a
problem
for
teenagers,
some
school
districts
have
decided
to
start
high
school
classes
later
than
they
used
to.
Students,
parents
and
teachers
are
pleased
with
the
results.”（因为困倦对青少年来说是个大问题，一些学区已经决定推迟高中课程的上课时间。学生、家长和老师都对结果感到满意。）由此可知，作者只是说了学生、家长、老师对于改变上学时间的态度，并没有说明自己是支持还是反对，由此判断出作者的态度是客观的。故选A项。
C
Earthquakes
usually
happen
on
the
edges
of
large
sections
of
the
Earth’s
plates.
These
plates
slowly
move
over
a
long
period
of
time.
Sometimes
the
edges,
which
are
called
fault
lines,
can
get
stuck,
but
the
plates
keep
moving.
Pressure
slowly
starts
to
build
up
where
the
edges
are
stuck
and,
once
the
pressure
gets
strong
enough,
the
plates
will
suddenly
move
causing
an
earthquake.
Generally
before
and
after
a
large
earthquake
there
will
be
smaller
earthquakes.
The
ones
that
happen
before
are
called
foreshocks.
The
ones
that
happen
after
are
called
aftershocks.
Scientists
don’t
really
know
if
an
earthquake
is
a
foreshock
until
the
bigger
earthquake
occurs.
Shock
waves
from
an
earthquake
that
travel
through
the
ground
are
called
seismic
waves
(地震波).
They
are
most
powerful
at
the
center
of
the
earthquake,
but
they
travel
through
much
of
the
earth
and
back
to
the
surface.
They
move
quickly
at
20
times
the
speed
of
sound.
Scientists
use
seismic
waves
to
measure
how
big
an
earthquake
is.
They
use
a
device
called
a
seismograph
(地震仪)
to
measure
the
size
of
the
waves.
The
size
of
the
waves
is
called
the
magnitude.
To
tell
the
strength
of
an
earthquake
scientists
use
a
scale
called
the
Moment
Magnitude
Scale
or
MMS
(it
used
to
be
called
the
Richter
scale).
The
larger
the
number
on
the
MMS
scale,
the
larger
the
earthquake.
You
usually
won’t
even
notice
an
earthquake
unless
it
measures
at
least
a
3
on
the
MMS
scale.
Here
are
some
examples
of
what
may
happen
depending
on
the
scale:
4.0-Could
shake
your
house
as
if
a
large
truck
were
passing
close
by.
Some
people
may
not
notice.
5.0-If
you
are
in
a
car,
it
may
shake.
Glasses
and
dishes
may
rattle.
Windows
may
break.
6.0-
Items
will
fall
off
shelves.
Walls
in
some
houses
may
crack
and
windows
break.
Pretty
much
everyone
near
the
center
will
feel
this
one.
7.0-
Weaker
buildings
will
collapse
and
cracks
will
occur
in
bridges
and
on
the
street.
8.0-
Many
buildings
and
bridges
fall
down.
Large
cracks
in
the
earth.
9.0
and
up-
Whole
cities
flattened
and
large-scale
damage.
8.
If
a
5.0-magnitude
earthquake
hit
your
area,
what
might
happen?
A.
Your
house
might
shake
violently.
B.
People
might
feel
no
shaking
at
all.
C.
The
family
photo
may
fall
off
the
wall.
D.
There
might
be
cracks
everywhere
on
the
street.
9.
What
does
the
author
mean
by
saying
the
underlined
sentence
in
paragraph2?
A.
It’s
still
hard
to
tell
foreshocks
from
main
earthquakes.
B.
Scientists
can’t
exactly
measure
the
strength
of
an
earthquake.
C.
People
may
ignore
foreshocks
when
an
earthquake
is
not
so
strong.
D.
The
earthquake
won’t
cause
any
damage
unless
it
reaches
9.0
MMS.
10.
The
writer
explains
the
concepts
concerning
the
earthquake
by
.
A.
listing
examples
B.
giving
explanations
C.
making
comparisons
D.
offering
data
11.
The
passage
is
written
mainly
to
.
A.
enrich
people’s
knowledge
of
self-rescue
in
disasters
B.
stress
the
importance
of
earthquake
rescue
C.
issue
early
warnings
before
an
earthquake
D.
present
facts
about
the
earthquake
【答案】8.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于地震的相关事实，如地震产生的原因、大地震前后会有小地震、地震波的含义、地震强度的测量方式以及不同级别的地震可能会发生的一些事情。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第五段5.0-If
you
are
in
a
car,
it
may
shake.
Glasses
and
dishes
may
rattle.
Windows
may
break.（如果你在车里，它可能会摇晃。杯子和盘子可能会发出响声。窗户可能破碎）分析选项可知C选项：如果你所在地区发生5.0级地震，全家福可能会从墙上掉下来有可能发生。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文Generally
before
and
after
a
large
earthquake
there
will
be
smaller
earthquakes.
The
ones
that
happen
before
are
called
foreshocks.
The
ones
that
happen
after
are
called
aftershocks.
一般来说，大地震前后会有小地震。之前发生被称为前震。之后发生的称为余震。可推知直到大地震发生，科学家才真正知道这次地震是否是前震。可知划线句子意思为“前震和主震仍然很难区分”，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中These
plates
slowly
move
over
a
long
period
of
time.
Sometimes
the
edges,
which
are
called
fault
lines,
can
get
stuck,
but
the
plates
keep
moving.
Pressure
slowly
starts
to
build
up
where
the
edges
are
stuck
and,
once
the
pressure
gets
strong
enough,
the
plates
will
suddenly
move
causing
an
earthquake.（这些板块在很长一段时间内缓慢移动。有时被称为断层线的边缘会被卡住，但板块仍在移动。在边缘被卡住的地方，压力开始慢慢增大，一旦压力足够大，板块就会突然移动，引起地震）主要为解释地震产生的原因，可知作者通过解释原因的论证方式来解释了有关地震的概念。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一句Earthquakes
usually
happen
on
the
edges
of
large
sections
of
the
Earth’s
plates.（地震通常发生在地球板块的大部分边缘）以及后文主要说明了关于地震的相关知识，可知这篇文章主要是为了介绍地震的相关事实。故选D。
D
You
may
think
that
sailing
is
difficult,
but
it
is
really
not
hard
to
learn
it.
You
do
not
need
to
be
strong.
But
you
need
to
be
quick.
And
you
need
to
understand
a
few
basic
rules
about
the
wind.
First,
you
must
ask
yourself,
“Where
is
the
wind
coming
from?
Is
it
coming
from
ahead
or
behind
or
from
the
side?”
You
must
think
about
this
all
the
time
on
the
boat.
The
wind
direction
tells
you
what
to
do
with
the
sail.
Let's
start
with
the
wind
blowing
from
behind.
This
means
the
wind
and
the
boat
are
going
in
the
same
direction.
Then
you
must
always
keep
the
sail
outside
the
boat.
It
should
be
at
a
90°
angle
to
the
boat.
Then
it
will
catch
the
wind
best.
If
the
wind
is
blowing
from
the
side,
it
is
blowing
across
the
boat.
In
this
case,
you
must
keep
the
sail
half
way
outside
the
boat.
It
should
be
at
a
45°angle
to
the
boat.
It
needs
to
be
out
far
enough
to
catch
the
wind,
but
it
shouldn't
flap.
It
shouldn't
look
like
a
flag
on
a
flagpole.
If
it
is
flapping,
it
is
probably
out
too
far,
and
the
boat
will
slow
down.
Sailing
into
the
wind
is
not
possible.
If
you
try,
the
sail
will
flap
and
the
boat
will
stop.
You
may
want
to
go
in
that
direction.
It
is
possible,
but
you
can't
go
in
a
straight
line.
You
must
go
first
in
one
direction
and
then
in
another.
This
is
called
tacking(作“之”字形航行).
When
you
are
tacking,
you
must
always
keep
the
sail
inside
the
boat.
12.
What
should
you
consider
first
while
sailing?
A.
Sailors'
strength.
B.
Wave
levels.
C.
Wind
directions.
D.
Size
of
the
sail.
13.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"It"
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A.
The
sail.
B.
The
wind.
C.
The
boat.
D.
The
angle.
14.
What
do
you
have
to
do
when
sailing
against
the
wind?
A.
Move
in
a
straight
line.
B.
Allow
the
sail
to
flap.
C.
Lower
the
sail.
D.
Tack
the
boat.
15.
What's
the
purpose
of
writing
the
passage?
A.
To
advise
you
to
go
sailing.
B.
To
teach
you
how
to
go
sailing.
C.
To
show
the
danger
of
sailing.
D.
To
tell
the
difficulty
of
sailing.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。帆船运动学起来并不难，文章主要介绍了帆船运动需要了解一些关于风的基本规则。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“First,
you
must
ask
yourself,
“Where
is
the
wind
coming

Is
it
coming
from
ahead
or
behind
or
from

You
must
think
about
this
all
the
time
on
the
boat.
The
wind
direction
tells
you
what
to
do
with
the
sail.(首先，你必须问自己，“风从哪里来？它是来自前面、后面还是侧面？”你在船上一定一直在想这件事。风向告诉你如何使用帆)”可知，航行时你首先应该考虑风的方向。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In
this
case,
you
must
keep
the
sail
half
way
outside
the
boat.
(在这种情况下，你必须把帆保持在船外的一半)”可推知，帆应该和船成45度角。即it指的是“帆”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It
is
possible,
but
you
can't
go
in
a
straight
line.
You
must
go
first
in
one
direction
and
then
in
another.
This
is
called
tacking(作“之”字形航行).
(这是可能的，但你不能走直线。你必须先朝一个方向走，然后再朝另一个方向走。这被称为“之”字形航行)”可知，逆风航行时你要改变船的航行方式。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You
may
think
that
sailing
is
difficult,
but
it
is
really
not
hard
to
learn
it.
You
do
not
need
to

But
you
need

And
you
need
to
understand
a
few
basic
rules
about
the
wind.
(你可能认为帆船运动很难，但其实学起来并不难。你不需要多么强壮。但你得动作快点。你需要了解一些关于风的基本规则)”结合文章主要介绍了帆船运动需要了解的一些关于风的基本规则。可推知，这篇文章的目的是教你如何进行帆船运动。故选B。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了如何成为一个节约的消费者，并对我们的环境负责任，例如用完东西而不是浪费；将衣服穿旧了才买新的；让其他东西代替你所缺的；在需要哪样东西前要思考下，不要浪费资源。
【16题详解】
根据前文“We
need
to
be
responsible
for
our
environment.
Being
a
frugal
consumer
is
one
way
to
help.(我们需要对我们的环境负责。成为一个节俭的消费者是一种帮助。)”提及了关键词“a
frugal
consumer”，且后文段落是对该做法的详细介绍，由此可推知设空句应是对其提出疑问，由后文作出解答。选项D“But,
what
exactly
does
that
mean?(但是，这到底是什么意思？)”为疑问句，“But”表达前后语气的转折关系，“that”指代前文内容，前后衔接紧密。故选D项。
【17题详解】
设空句为小标题后内容，应是对小标题的进一步解释和呼应。小标题为“Use
it
up(用完它)”，与此相呼应，选项E“You
can
use
things
up
instead
of
wasting
them.(你可以把东西用完而不是浪费掉。)”符合语境分析。故选E项。
【18题详解】
本段小标题为“Wear
it
out(穿烂它)”可知，该段的核心话题是“将东西用烂再更换新的”，根据后文“Then
you
can
get
a
new
one.
Think
twice
before
replacing
something
that
still
works.(
然后你可以买一个新的。在更换还能用的东西之前要三思。)”可推知，与本段主题相呼应，设空句应提及“用烂；用坏”。选项G“You
don’t
need
the
latest
iPhone
until
your
old
one
doesn’t
work
anymore.(你不需要最新的iphone，直到你的旧手机坏了)”
符合语境分析。故选G项。
【19题详解】
设空为该段小标题，应与本段末尾总结句内容相呼应。根据末尾句内容“With
a
little
thought,
you
can
make
something
do,
instead
of
buying
something
new.(只要有一点想法，你就可以做一些事情，而不是买一些新东西。)”可知，本段应是以“做”为话题。选项B“Make
it
do”与该结尾内容相呼应。故选B项。
【20题详解】
设空前文“Think
about
all
those
things
that
you
would
like
to
have.(想想所有你想要的东西。)”提到了“想要的东西”，设空后文“How
long
will
you
really
play
with
that
new
toy
you
saw
on
TV?
(你在电视上看到的那个新玩具你会玩多久?)”为对自己相要的玩具的考虑，由此可推知设空句应是与后文一样，涉及对自己想要物品的思考，选项C“Do
you
really
need
them?(你真的需要它们吗?)”符合语境分析，“them”与前文“all
those
things”相呼应，前后衔接紧密。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。对于没有钱的人来说，圣诞节是个非常尴尬的日子，二十多年前，作者因为财力有限，只能给孩子们买了超市打折的玩具当礼物，但是当孩子们看到玩具时那欢快的表情却让作者心情立马愉悦起来。孩子们的笑声也成了送给作者最好的圣诞礼物。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：二十年前，我是一名年轻的、努力工作的代课老师。根据结构可知此处是做定语，被修饰名词teacher与struggle之间是主动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填struggling。
【42题详解】
考查短语。句意：手头很紧，但账单到期了，我和妻子甚至没有钱给对方买圣诞礼物。afford
to
do
sth.负担得起做某事
。故填to
get。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：我们能给孩子们的唯一礼物是几件毛绒玩具，我发现这些玩具在超市里以半价出售。句中主语为复数名词gifts，所以谓语动词用复数。陈述过去的事情，用一般过去时。故填were。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们能给孩子们的唯一礼物是几件毛绒玩具，我发现这些玩具在超市里以半价出售。句中名词soft
toys
与sell之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填sold。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：然后我把它们递给我的儿子和女儿。根据句意可知，这里用并列连词and
连接两个名词。故填and。
【46题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：然而，当他们拿出玩具的时候。我注意到他们的眼睛一亮，欣喜若狂。根据前文中“a
few
soft
toys”和形容词性物主代词their提示可知，用名词的复数形式。故填toys。
47题详解】
考查副词。句意：我的女儿高兴地抱着她的玩具，然后又抱着她的妈妈和我。修饰副词hugged，用副词形式
。故填happily。
【48题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我看着我的孩子们玩了几个小时的玩具时，我笑了。表示时间的长短用介词for+时间段。故填for。
【49题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：我感谢上帝给了我有生以来最好的礼物。根据句意以及后面出现的ever可以判断此处应该用形容词最高级做定语。故填greatest。
【50题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：直到今天，我仍然珍惜我的儿子和女儿那天给我的纯洁爱的礼物。句中先行词为the
gift
of
pure
love，在定语从句中作give的宾语，指物，所以用关系代词that引导
。故填that。

Often
my

took

of
memories,
always
shared

with

She
told

I
was

and
quiet
that
she

me.
Now
it
has

she
passed
away.
I

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者关于童年生活的回忆，也表达了作者对奶奶的思念。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：我一直梦想回到我的童年。句中涉及固定短语“dream
of/about
doing
sth.”，意为“梦想做某事”，句中指我一直梦想回到我的童年，符合句意。故在dreamt后加of/about。
2.考查形容词最高级。句意：正如许多人所说，童年是一个人一生中最快乐的时光。根据句中“in
one’s
life”和定冠词“the”可知，句子应用最高级，表示“一生中最快乐的时光”，happy意为“快乐的”，形容词词性，最高级为happiest。故将happier改为happiest。
3.考查时态。句意：我在乡下长大。根据文章内容可知，文章在回忆自己的童年生活，故应用一般过去时，动词要用过去式，“grow
up”意为“长大”，为动词短语，grow的过去式为grew。故将grow改为grew。
4.考查形容词。句意：那里有许多高山，五颜六色的花和不同种类的树。根据文章内容可知，mountains意为“山”，名词词性，前面应用形容词修饰，highly意为“非常，高度地”，副词词性，对应的形容词为high，意为“高的”，句中指高山。故将highly改为high。
5.考查固定短语。句意：那里有许多高山，五颜六色的花和不同种类的树。句中涉及固定短语“different
kinds
of”，意为“不同种类的，各种各样的”，句中指不同种类的树，符合句意。故将kind改为kinds。
6.考查固定短语。句意：我父母经常带我去远足和捉昆虫。句中涉及固定短语“take
sb.
to
do
sth.”，意为“带某人去做某事”，to后接动词原形，句中to后是由and连接的两个并列短语，故catching应用原形catch，表示“捉昆虫”。故将catching改为catch。
7.考查定语从句。句意：我奶奶，似乎充满了回忆，总是和我分享她的故事。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为grandma，为人，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词who引导从句。故将whose改为who。
8.考查代词。句意：我奶奶，似乎充满了回忆，总是和我分享她的故事。根据句意可知，句子主语为“My
grandma”，是奶奶和我分享“她的”故事，stories意为“故事”，为名词词性，前应用形容词性物主代词修饰，her意为“她的”，为形容词性物主代词，句中指“她的故事”。故将his改为her。
9.考查固定句型。句意：她告诉我，我是如此的温柔和安静，以至于她从不为我担心。句中涉及固定句型“so+adj./adv.+that+从句”，意为“如此……以至于……”，gentle意为“温柔的”，形容词词性，quiet意为“安静的”，形容词词性，故前面应用so，such后一般接名词，不符合句子内容。故将such改为so。
10.考查固定句型。句意：现在她已经去世五年了。句中涉及固定句型“It
is/has
been+一段时间+since从句”，意为“自从……以来已经多久了”，since后接从句，从句用一般过去时，since
then意为“从那以后”，不符合句式和句意。故将then去掉。

B
Getting
less
sleep
has
become
a
bad
habit
for
most
American
kids.
According
to
a
new
survey(调查)
by
the
National
Sleep
Foundation,
51%
of
kids
aged
10
to
18
go
to
bed
at
10
pm
or
later
on
school
nights,
even
though
they
have
to
get
up
early.
Last
year
the
Foundation
reported
that
nearly
60%
of
7-
to
12-year-olds
said
they
felt
tired
during
the
day,
and
15%
said
they
had
fallen
asleep
at
school.
How
much
sleep
you
need
depends
a
lot
on
your
age.
Babies
need
a
lot
of
rest:
most
of
them
sleep
about
18
hours
a
day!
Adults
need
about
eight
hours.
For
most
school-age
children,
ten
hours
is
ideal(理想的).
But
the
new
National
Sleep
Foundation
survey
found
that
35%
of
10-
to
12-year-olds
get
only
seven
or
eight
hours.
And
guess
what
almost
half
of
the
surveyed
kids
said
they
do
before
bedtime?
Watch
TV.
“More
children
are
going
to
bed
with
TVs
on,
and
there
are
more
opportunities(机会)
to
stay
awake,
with
more
homework,
the
Internet
and
the
phone,”
says
Dr.
Mary
Carskadon,
a
sleep
researcher
at
Brown
University
Medical
School.
She
says
these
activities
at
bedtime
can
get
kids
all
excited
and
make
it
hard
for
them
to
calm
down
and
sleep.
Other
experts
say
part
of
the
problem
is
chemical.
Changing
levels
of
body
chemicals
called
hormones
not
only
make
teenagers’
bodies
develop
adult
characteristics,
but
also
make
it
hard
for
teenagers
to
fall
asleep
before
11
pm.
Because
sleepiness
is
such
a
problem
for
teenagers,
some
school
districts
have
decided
to
start
high
school
classes
later
than
they
used
to.
Three
years
ago,
schools
in
Edina,
Minnesota,
changed
the
start
time
from
7:25
am
to
8:30
am.
Students,
parents
and
teachers
are
pleased
with
the
results.
4.
What
is
the
general
idea
of
the
first
paragraph?
A.
All
American
kids
get
less
sleep.
B.
American
kids
have
bad
habits.
C.
Most
Americans
kids
get
less
sleep
and
the
bad
influence
of
it.
D.
American
kids
feel
asleep
in
class.
5.
Which
of
the
following
statements
is
correct?
A.
When
you
sleep
depends
on
your
age.
B.
Most
children
watch
TV
before
they
sleep.
C.
Some
children
are
lacking
in
sleep.
D.
Adults
will
be
healthier
if
they
get
more
sleep.
6.
Why
do
children
find
it
hard
to
fall
asleep?
A.
They
get
too
excited
before
11p.m.
B.
Hormones
get
high
at
night.
C.
Their
bodies
develop
adult
characteristics.
D.
They
may
watch
too
much
TV.
7.
What
is
the

toward
the

of
school
start
time?
A.
Objective
B.

C.

Earthquakes
usually
happen
on
the
edges
of
large
sections
of
the
Earth’s
plates.
These
plates
slowly
move
over
a
long
period
of
time.
Sometimes
the
edges,
which
are
called
fault
lines,
can
get
stuck,
but
the
plates
keep
moving.
Pressure
slowly
starts
to
build
up
where
the
edges
are
stuck
and,
once
the
pressure
gets
strong
enough,
the
plates
will
suddenly
move
causing
an
earthquake.
Generally
before
and
after
a
large
earthquake
there
will
be
smaller
earthquakes.
The
ones
that
happen
before
are
called
foreshocks.
The
ones
that
happen
after
are
called
aftershocks.
Scientists
don’t
really
know
if
an
earthquake
is
a
foreshock
until
the
bigger
earthquake
occurs.
Shock
waves
from
an
earthquake
that
travel
through
the
ground
are
called
seismic
waves
(地震波).
They
are
most
powerful
at
the
center
of
the
earthquake,
but
they
travel
through
much
of
the
earth
and
back
to
the
surface.
They
move
quickly
at
20
times
the
speed
of
sound.
Scientists
use
seismic
waves
to
measure
how
big
an
earthquake
is.
They
use
a
device
called
a
seismograph
(地震仪)
to
measure
the
size
of
the
waves.
The
size
of
the
waves
is
called
the
magnitude.
To
tell
the
strength
of
an
earthquake
scientists
use
a
scale
called
the
Moment
Magnitude
Scale
or
MMS
(it
used
to
be
called
the
Richter
scale).
The
larger
the
number
on
the
MMS
scale,
the
larger
the
earthquake.
You
usually
won’t
even
notice
an
earthquake
unless
it
measures
at
least
a
3
on
the
MMS
scale.
Here
are
some
examples
of
what
may
happen
depending
on
the
scale:
4.0-Could
shake
your
house
as
if
a
large
truck
were
passing
close
by.
Some
people
may
not
notice.
5.0-If
you
are
in
a
car,
it
may
shake.
Glasses
and
dishes
may
rattle.
Windows
may
break.
6.0-
Items
will
fall
off
shelves.
Walls
in
some
houses
may
crack
and
windows
break.
Pretty
much
everyone
near
the
center
will
feel
this
one.
7.0-
Weaker
buildings
will
collapse
and
cracks
will
occur
in
bridges
and
on
the
street.
8.0-
Many
buildings
and
bridges
fall
down.
Large
cracks
in
the
earth.
9.0
and
up-
Whole
cities
flattened
and
large-scale
damage.
8.
If
a
5.0-magnitude
earthquake
hit
your
area,
what
might
happen?
A.
Your
house
might
shake
violently.
B.
People
might
feel
no
shaking
at
all.
C.
The
family
photo
may
fall
off
the
wall.
D.
There
might
be
cracks
everywhere
on
the
street.
9.
What
does
the
author
mean
by
saying
the
underlined
sentence
in
paragraph2?
A.
It’s
still
hard
to
tell
foreshocks
from
main
earthquakes.
B.
Scientists
can’t
exactly
measure
the
strength
of
an
earthquake.
C
People
may
ignore
foreshocks
when
an
earthquake
is
not
so
strong.
D.
The
earthquake
won’t
cause
any
damage
unless
it
reaches
9.0
MMS.

You
may
think
that
sailing
is
difficult,
but
it
is
really
not
hard
to
learn
it.
You
do
not
need
to
be
strong.
But
you
need
to
be
quick.
And
you
need
to
understand
a
few
basic
rules
about
the
wind.
First,
you
must
ask
yourself,
“Where
is
the
wind
coming
from?
Is
it
coming
from
ahead
or
behind
or
from
the
side?”
You
must
think
about
this
all
the
time
on
the
boat.
The
wind
direction
tells
you
what
to
do
with
the
sail.
Let's
start
with
the
wind
blowing
from
behind.
This
means
the
wind
and
the
boat
are
going
in
the
same
direction.
Then
you
must
always
keep
the
sail
outside
the
boat.
It
should
be
at
a
90°
angle
to
the
boat.
Then
it
will
catch
the
wind
best.
If
the
wind
is
blowing
from
the
side,
it
is
blowing
across
the
boat.
In
this
case,
you
must
keep
the
sail
half
way
outside
the
boat.
It
should
be
at
a
45°angle
to
the
boat.
It
needs
to
be
out
far
enough
to
catch
the
wind,
but
it
shouldn't
flap.
It
shouldn't
look
like
a
flag
on
a
flagpole.
If
it
is
flapping,
it
is
probably
out
too
far,
and
the
boat
will
slow
down.
Sailing
into
the
wind
is
not
possible.
If
you
try,
the
sail
will
flap
and
the
boat
will
stop.
You
may
want
to
go
in
that
direction.
It
is
possible,
but
you
can't
go
in
a
straight
line.
You
must
go
first
in
one
direction
and
then
in
another.
This
is
called
tacking(作“之”字形航行).
When
you
are
tacking,
you
must
always
keep
the
sail
inside
the
boat.
12.
What
should
you
consider
first
while
sailing?
A.
Sailors'
strength.
B.
Wave
levels.
C.
Wind
directions.
D.
Size
of
the
sail.
13.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"It"
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A.
The
sail.
B.
The
wind.
C.
The
boat.
D.
The
angle.
14.
What
do
you
have
to
do
when
sailing
against
the
wind?
A.
Move
in
a
straight
line.
B.
Allow
the
sail
to
flap.
C.
Lower
the
sail.
D.
Tack
the
boat.
15.
What's
the
purpose
of
writing
the
passage?
A.
To
advise
you
to
go
sailing.
B.
To
teach
you
how
to
go
sailing.
C.
To
show
the
danger
of
sailing.
D.
To
tell
the
difficulty
of
sailing.

I
have
always
dreamt
returning
to
my
childhood.
Just
as
many
people
say,
childhood
is
the
happier
time
in
one’s
life.
I
grow
up
in
the
countryside.
There
are
many
highly
mountains,
colorful
flowers
and
different
kind
of
trees.
Often
my
parents
took
me
to
go
hiking
and
catching
insects.
My
grandma,
whose
seemed
to
be
full
of
memories,
always
shared
his
stories
with
me.
She
told
me
that
I
was
such
gentle
and
quiet
that
she
never
felt
worried
about
me.
Now
it
has
been
5
years
since
then
she
passed
away.
I
still
miss
her
very
much!
