Do you think it enough to have eight hours of sleep per might Napoleon didn't agree with it. His saying went something like this: "Six hours for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool." But Napoleon's words weren't right, either. The ideal amount of sleep is different for everyone and depends on many factors, including age and genetic makeup.
In the past 10 years, my research team has surveyed sleep behavior in more than 150,000 people. About 11 percent slept six hours or less, while only 27 percent clocked eight hours or more. Most people fell in between. Women tended to sleep longer than men, but only by 14 minutes. Bigger differences are seen when comparing various age groups. Ten-year-olds needed about nine hours of sleep, while adults older than 30, including senior citizens, averaged about seven hours. We recently-found the first gene related to sleep length—if you have one kind of this gene, you need more sleep than if you have another.
Although it's common to hear warnings about .getting too much sleep—and 80 percent of the world uses an alarm clock to wake up on workdays—it's not difficult to figure out how much sleep we need. We sometimes overeat, but we generally cannot oversleep. When we wake up naturally, feeling comfortable, we have slept enough. In our modern society, we sleep about two hours less per night than 50 years ago. This sleep deprivation greatly decreases our work performance and harms our health and memory.
4. What main point does the writer try to make in Paragraph 1
A. Napoleon has his own sense of sleep time.
B. The quality of sleep time is more important.
C. Having 8 hours of sleep per night is common sense.
D. Different people needs different amount of sleep time.
5. What do we know from Paragraph 2
A. Women sleep much more than men. B. The older one is, the longer one sleeps.
C. Most people sleep between 6-and 8 hours. D. The sleep time is decided by gene.
6. What does the underlined phrase “steep deprivation” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Too much sleep. B. A light sleep. C. No enough sleep. D. A deep sleep.
7. Where does this passage probably come from
A. A guidebook. B. A school report. C. A novel. D. A scientific research.
C
About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work two jobs to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop-a video game retailer（零售商）, to cancel the game I’d booked. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn’t walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game, for her as her son’s Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease it was painful for her to move around. She called ahead but the employee（雇员）wasn’t willing to help. She gave me about $ 100 in cash and her credit card.
I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocket her cash She couldn’t know I wasn’t a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much
I handed her the cash back explaining I had to pay with her card-it was above $ 100 at the time, and handed over the game and her credit card. “This is what my son’s been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!” she said. She gave me $ 10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away.
She had no idea how much of a difference even $ 10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made a hard time in my life a little better. She may think I helped her; however, I truly feel like the one who was being gifted something amazing.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. The author canceled the video game for saving money.
B. The author worked so hard that there was no time for games.
C. The author was unwilling to help and kept a distance from the woman.
D. The woman requested the author to purchase a Kinect for her son’s birthday.
9. What can we know about the woman
A. She gave the author $ 10 for the video game.
B. She chose the author because he was handsome.
C. She might not know exactly how much the video game would cost.
D. She didn’t buy the video game by herself because of her laziness.
10. Which of the following words can best describe the author
A. Kind and honest. B. Brave and curious.
C Humorous and wise. D. Determined and energetic.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Kinect, a popular game. B. Help others, help yourself.
C. A stranger who had faith in me. D. An experience that changed my life.

In modem times, many teenagers have idols of their own who are always some stars on TV on the Internet, etc. These stars always think that a slimmer figure may be perfect for themselves. However, does size really matter Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their idols Do famous stars really have the power to influence people especially teenagers
For the longest time, many parents blame (责备) teen idols for influencing the way their kids act.

They use thin models and stars to endorse (宣传) products or to star in an up-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, stars are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.
Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the stars, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in and what’s out.

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a
nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch： 6 pm. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.
I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all."
Paragraph 1
A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it's dark. You can't walk back. " I begged.

In our modern society, we sleep about two hours less per night than 50 years ago. This sleep deprivation greatly decreases our work performance and harms our health and memory.
4. What main point does the writer try to make in Paragraph 1
A. Napoleon has his own sense of sleep time.
B. The quality of sleep time is more important.
C. Having 8 hours of sleep per night is common sense.
D. Different people needs different amount of sleep time.
5. What do we know from Paragraph 2
A. Women sleep much more than men. B. The older one is, the longer one sleeps.
C. Most people sleep between 6-and 8 hours. D. The sleep time is decided by gene.
6. What does the underlined phrase “steep deprivation” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Too much sleep. B. A light sleep. C. No enough sleep. D. A deep sleep.
7. Where does this passage probably come from
A. A guidebook. B. A school report. C. A novel. D. A scientific research.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项调查了超过15万人的睡眠研究，介绍了其研究发现和现代社会人们的睡眠特点。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you think it enough to have eight hours of sleep per might Napoleon didn't agree with it. His saying went something like this: "Six hours for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool." But Napoleon's words weren't right, either. The ideal amount of sleep is different for everyone and depends on many factors, including age and genetic makeup.(你认为每个人睡八小时够吗？拿破仑不同意这个说法。他的说法大致是这样的：“男人六个小时，女人七个小时，傻瓜八个小时。”但是拿破仑的话也不对。理想的睡眠时间因人而异，取决于很多因素，包括年龄和基因组成)”可知，作者在第一段中试图表达的主要观点是不同的人需要不同的睡眠时间。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“About 11 percent slept six hours or less, while only 27 percent clocked eight hours or more. Most people fell in between.(约11%的人睡6个小时或更短，只有27%的人睡8个小时或更久。大多数人介于两者之间)”可知，大多数人睡6到8个小时。故选C。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In our modern society, we sleep about two hours less per night than 50 years ago.(在现代社会，我们每晚的睡眠时间比50年前少了大约两个小时)”以及后文“greatly decreases our work performance and harms our health and memory”可知，现在的人们比以前少睡了两个小时，即睡眠不足，这种睡眠不足会大大降低我们的工作表现，损害我们的健康和记忆力。故画线词意思是“睡眠不足”。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past 10 years, my research team has surveyed sleep behavior in more than 150,000 people.( 在过去的10年里，我的研究团队调查了超过15万人的睡眠行为)”结合文章主要介绍了一项调查了超过15万人的睡眠研究，介绍了其研究发现和现代社会人们的睡眠特点。可推知，文章可能选自科学研究。故选D。
C
About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work two jobs to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop-a video game retailer（零售商）, to cancel the game I’d booked. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn’t walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game, for her as her son’s Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease it was painful for her to move around. She called ahead but the employee（雇员）wasn’t willing to help. She gave me about $ 100 in cash and her credit card.
I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocket her cash She couldn’t know I wasn’t a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much
I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card-it was above $ 100 at the time, and handed over the game and her credit card. “This is what my son’s been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!” she said. She gave me $ 10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away.
She had no idea how much of a difference even $ 10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made a hard time in my life a little better. She may think I helped her; however, I truly feel like the one who was being gifted something amazing.
8. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. The author canceled the video game for saving money.
B. The author worked so hard that there was no time for games.
C. The author was unwilling to help and kept a distance from the woman.
D. The woman requested the author to purchase a Kinect for her son’s birthday.

A. She gave the author $ 10 for the video game.
B. She chose the author because he was handsome.
C. She might not know exactly how much the video game would cost.
D. She didn’t buy the video game by herself because of her laziness.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了用英语写日记对提高英语写作能力很有帮助以及如何用英语写日记的几点建议。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：用英语写日记是提高英语写作能力的有效方法之一。当“方法”讲时，way后常接不定式作后置定语，表示“做……的方法”，故填to improve。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：与其他形式的写作相比，它更短，所需的时间更少。根据空前的“shorter”可知此处用形容词比较级形式，故填less。
【38题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在用英语写日记的过程中，我们肯定会遇到许多困难。many修饰可数名词复数，故填difficulties。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，我们常常很难找到合适的单词来表达我们的想法。have trouble (in) doing表示“做某事有困难”，故填finding。
【40题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：其次，汉语中有很多习惯用语。根据句意可知此处用there be句型表示“有”，陈述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，根据“many idiomatic ways”可知be用复数，故填are。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：我们很难把它们准确地译成英语。修饰动词短语put… into…用副词，故填properly。
【42题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：就我而言，我的建议是我们应该随时准备一个笔记本和一本英汉词典。此处为表语从句，从句成分完整，用that仅起连接作用，无实义，且不能省略，故填that。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：如果有必要，我们也可以向英语老师求助。ask sb for help表示“向某人寻求帮助”，故填for。
【44题详解】
考查固定表达。句意：简而言之，我认为用英语写日记对提高我们的写作能力是很有用的。此处为“be of+抽象名词”结构，起形容词的作用，be of use=useful，故填of。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意同上，作介词for的宾语用名词，表示抽象意义，不可数，故填development。

【答案】Dear editor,
Nowadays, school activities are becoming increasingly popular in senior high school. We also have many kinds of school activities in our school, such as the English Corner, Sunshine Radio Station, Happy Reading Club and so on.
I’m interested in the English Corner , because it can not only help me make some new friends, but also improve my spoken English. In addition, I’m fond of the Sunshine Radio Station where I can have an unforgettable experience and make good friends. I hope my dream of being a host may come true one day. These school activities make me feel more confident.
If you want to take part in school activities, I have some suggestions. First, you had better choose the activity which you like best. Second, try to make the best of your interest.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续 写的词数应为150左右。
Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a
nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch： 6 pm. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.
I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all."
Paragraph 1
A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.

But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it's dark. You can't walk back. " I begged.

【答案】A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late .Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him，“I'm angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”.
But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it's dark. You can't walk back. " I begged .My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down. and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life. Dad began walking along the dusty roads. I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind. I apologized all the way,telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking. Seeing my father in so much pain was the most awful experience that I have ever faced.However it was also the most successful lesson.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者驾车去接他的父亲，但是他因为去看电影而耽误了时间后，他谎称去修车了，最后谎言被拆穿了，这使得父亲非常生气。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一股负疚感席卷了我，我不得不承认我去看电影了，这才是我迟到的真正原因……，所以应该写父亲对此的反应是什么以及父亲的情感此时影视什么样的。第二段开头是：可是，爸爸，那儿离这儿正好十八英里，而且天又黑。你不能走回去。我恳求。本段应该写父亲对我这么做的反应是什么以及我的心里活动是什么以及我从这件事情当中得到了什么经验教训。
续写时要求所续写短文的词数应为150左右；按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：protest，apologies，ignore等高级词汇；非谓语动词 I apologized all the way,telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me，Dad listened carefully as a sadness passed through him. as引导的状语从句，I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me.that引导的宾语从句。
