During World War I,countless soldiers were able to return home because of the protection provided by the heavy helmet.
A young officer in the U. S. Army witnessed the effectiveness of the helmet and realized its potential in a postwar industrial world. In 1919, Edward W.Bullard returned from the war to the family business,which was founded by his father Edward D. Bullard in 1898. He began developing ideas for affordable safety helmets that would protect miners. While the metal helmet was ideal for wartime conditions, it was not suitable for the mining industry. It was too big for miners to work underground and move through tight places. Plus, the cost was high So he chose to use a kind of heavy duck canvas（帆布), which was then formed to fit the human head with steam, thus named Hard Boiled Hat.He attached leather brims（帽檐） to it, and painted it black, so it would hold up to everyday wear in dirty, dangerous mines.
The hard hat was the first commercially available head protection device. Now worn by millions of workers, Bullard's hard hat revolutionized the safety-product industry, earning him a spot in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. At first, wearing a hard hat was a choice, not a requirement. That changed, however, during construction of the Hoover Dam, along the Colorado River in 1931. For the first time, employers required workers to wear hard hats.Now headquartered in Cynthiana, Kentucky,E. D. Bullard Co. is a leading manufacturer of high-quality personal protective equipment and systems worldwide, including a wide range of safety helmets. Edward W. Bullard has an eye on the future.The company plans to introduce a newline of Bullard hard hats for the industrial market.
4. What inspired Edward W.Bullard to go into the safety helmet business
A. His ambition to make a fortune.
B. His great sympathy for miners.
C. His experience during the war.
D. His intention to extend his family business.
5. Why was the metal helmet unable to be used in the mining industry
A. Mine owners prohibited miners from wearing it.
B. Miners got used to wearing canvas hats.
C. It didn't meet miners' taste of beauty.
D. It was both huge and expensive.
6. Which of the following can best describe Edward W. Bullard
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Creative and far-sighted.
C. Hard-working and kind. D. Peace-loving and curious.
7. What is mainly talked about in the text
A. The history of the hard hat.
B. The life story of Edward W. Bullard.
C. The development of E.D.Bullard Co.
D. The influence of wars on people's life.

Can staying up late make you fat A growing body of research has suggested that poor sleep quality is linked to an increased risk of obesity (肥胖症). But a new study found that it’s not the sleep loss that leads to obesity but rather that overweight can cause poor sleep.The researchers discovered their findings in a very small worm, called C.elegans.
Study co-author David Raizen stressed that while these findings in worms may not translate directly to humans, C. elegans offers a good model for studying humans' sleep. Like all other animals that have nervous systems, they need sleep. But unlike humans, who have complex neural circuitry (神经回路) and are difficult to study, a C. elegans has only 302 nerve cells，one of which scientists know for certain is a sleep regulator.
In humans, people who get fewer than six hours of sleep per night are more likely to be obese. Moreover, starvation in humans, fruit flies, and worms has been shown to affect sleep, indicating that it is regulated, at least in part, by nutrient availability. However, the way in which sleeping and eating work in tandem (协同地) has remained unclear.
The researchers genetically changed C.elegans to “turn off" a nerve cell that controls sleep. These worms could still eat, breathe, and reproduce, but they lost their ability to sleep.With this nerve cell turned off,the researchers saw a severe drop in ATP levels, which is the body's energy currency. “That suggests that sleep is an attempt to conserve energy; it's not actually causing the loss of energy,"Raizen explained.
The researchers knocked out the KIN-29 gene to create sleepless worms, and the mutant (突变的) C.elegans accumulated much fat. They assumed that the KIN-29 mutants did not sleep is because they were unable to release their fat.To test this guess, the researchers again controlled the KIN-29 mutant worms,this time expressing a chemical substance that freed their fat. With that operation,the worms were again able to sleep.
8. What did the new study focus on
A. The risk of suffering obesity.
B. The way our body consumes energy.
C. The link between obesity and sleep loss.
D. The cause for poor sleep and obesity.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Obesity. B. Nutrition.
C. Starvation. D. Sleep.
10. Why did the researchers turn off one nerve cell of the C.elegans
A. To monitor its sleep quality.
B. To regulate the change of ATP.
C. To confirm the function of sleep.
D To find out factors affecting energy conservation.
11. What might lead to obese people's sleeping problem according to the researchers
A. That their body fat fails to be freed normally.
B. That their ATP level may be greatly raised.
C. That their brain signals for sleeping go wrong.
D. That their KIN-29 gene is knocked out quickly.
D
On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.
The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth. The three -child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and deal with the challenge of a rapidly aging population,China Daily reported.
China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row.The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020. The number is below the rate of 2.1 that would maintain a stable population,according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above, rising from 10.3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade. An increasingly elderly population will cause a lack of young labor force.Therefore,it's not good for economic growth, according to Chen Youhua,a professor at Nanjing University.
In fact,the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy. The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.
However, not all people have shown their support for this latest policy.Many couples complained about the rising costs of raising a child. A netizen named Qinfeng commented,"High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child." Also,many women hesitate to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects,according to Mu Guangzong, a professor at Peking University.
In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.
12 What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy
A. To increase the population's role in economic and social development.
B. To maintain a stable population.
C. To keep the birth rate at 1.3.
D. To address the challenge of the aging population.
13. What can be known from the text
A. China's annual number of newborns has fallen for decades.
B. In 2013.Chinese government allowed all couples to have two children.
C. Sacrificing women's career prospects contributes to their willingness to bear more children.
D. Chinese government has loosened its decades-long family planning policy in recent years.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “preferential”
A. favorable. B. powerful.
C. contradictory. D. neutral
15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To show the population's role in driving economic and social growth.
B. To introduce the new family size policy.
C To share his concerns about birthrate and aging population problem.
D. To issue an appeal for easing couples' parental burden.

The next night,the young artist came to the gate of the subway station as usual, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper, laid it on the ground, and put some stones on it. Then he began playing the violin.
Before long,the young artist was surrounded by many passers-by, who were all attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “ Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an unexpected thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it as soon as possible. "

After about half an hour. a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry, rushed through the crowd to the violinist, grabbed his shoulders and said, “ Yes, it's you. You did come here. I knew that you are an honest man and would certainly come here."
The young violinist asked calmly, "Are you Mr. George Sang "

During World War I,countless soldiers were able to return home because of the protection provided by the heavy helmet.
A young officer in the U. S. Army witnessed the effectiveness of the helmet and realized its potential in a postwar industrial world. In 1919, Edward W.Bullard returned from the war to the family business,which was founded by his father Edward D. Bullard in 1898. He began developing ideas for affordable safety helmets that would protect miners. While the metal helmet was ideal for wartime conditions, it was not suitable for the mining industry. It was too big for miners to work underground and move through tight places. Plus, the cost was high So he chose to use a kind of heavy duck canvas（帆布), which was then formed to fit the human head with steam, thus named Hard Boiled Hat.He attached leather brims（帽檐） to it, and painted it black, so it would hold up to everyday wear in dirty, dangerous mines.
The hard hat was the first commercially available head protection device. Now worn by millions of workers, Bullard's hard hat revolutionized the safety-product industry, earning him a spot in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. At first, wearing a hard hat was a choice, not a requirement. That changed, however, during construction of the Hoover Dam, along the Colorado River in 1931. For the first time, employers required workers to wear hard hats.Now headquartered in Cynthiana, Kentucky,E. D. Bullard Co. is a leading manufacturer of high-quality personal protective equipment and systems worldwide, including a wide range of safety helmets. Edward W. Bullard has an eye on the future.The company plans to introduce a newline of Bullard hard hats for the industrial market.
4. What inspired Edward W.Bullard to go into the safety helmet business
A. His ambition to make a fortune.
B. His great sympathy for miners.
C. His experience during the war.
D. His intention to extend his family business.
5. Why was the metal helmet unable to be used in the mining industry
A. Mine owners prohibited miners from wearing it.
B. Miners got used to wearing canvas hats.
C. It didn't meet miners' taste of beauty.
D. It was both huge and expensive.
6. Which of the following can best describe Edward W. Bullard
A. Generous and ambitious. B. Creative and far-sighted.
C. Hard-working and kind. D. Peace-loving and curious.
7. What is mainly talked about in the text
A. The history of the hard hat.
B. The life story of Edward W. Bullard.
C. The development of E.D.Bullard Co.
D. The influence of wars on people's life.

Can staying up late make you fat A growing body of research has suggested that poor sleep quality is linked to an increased risk of obesity (肥胖症). But a new study found that it’s not the sleep loss that leads to obesity, but rather that overweight can cause poor sleep.The researchers discovered their findings in a very small worm, called C.elegans.
Study co-author David Raizen stressed that while these findings in worms may not translate directly to humans, C. elegans offers a good model for studying humans' sleep. Like all other animals that have nervous systems, they need sleep. But unlike humans, who have complex neural circuitry (神经回路) and are difficult to study, a C. elegans has only 302 nerve cells，one of which scientists know for certain is a sleep regulator.
In humans, people who get fewer than six hours of sleep per night are more likely to be obese. Moreover, starvation in humans, fruit flies, and worms has been shown to affect sleep, indicating that it is regulated, at least in part, by nutrient availability. However, the way in which sleeping and eating work in tandem (协同地) has remained unclear.
The researchers genetically changed C.elegans to “turn off" a nerve cell that controls sleep. These worms could still eat, breathe, and reproduce, but they lost their ability to sleep.With this nerve cell turned off,the researchers saw a severe drop in ATP levels, which is the body's energy currency. “That suggests that sleep is an attempt to conserve energy; it's not actually causing the loss of energy,"Raizen explained.
The researchers knocked out the KIN-29 gene to create sleepless worms, and the mutant (突变的) C.elegans accumulated much fat. They assumed that the KIN-29 mutants did not sleep is because they were unable to release their fat.To test this guess, the researchers again controlled the KIN-29 mutant worms,this time expressing a chemical substance that freed their fat. With that operation,the worms were again able to sleep.
8. What did the new study focus on
A. The risk of suffering obesity.
B. The way our body consumes energy.
C. The link between obesity and sleep loss.
D. The cause for poor sleep and obesity.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Obesity. B. Nutrition.
C. Starvation. D. Sleep.
10. Why did the researchers turn off one nerve cell of the C.elegans
A. To monitor its sleep quality.
B. To regulate the change of ATP.
C. To confirm the function of sleep.
D. To find out factors affecting energy conservation.
11. What might lead to obese people's sleeping problem according to the researchers
A. That their body fat fails to be freed normally.
B. That their ATP level may be greatly raised.
C. That their brain signals for sleeping go wrong.
D. That their KIN-29 gene is knocked out quickly.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A

【分析】本文是说明文。熬夜会使你发胖吗？越来越多的研究表明，睡眠质量差与肥胖风险增加有关。但一项新的研究发现，并不是睡眠不足导致肥胖，而是超重导致睡眠质量差。研究人员在一种叫做秀丽隐杆线虫的非常小的蠕虫中发现了这些发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study found that it’s not the sleep loss that leads to obesity, but rather that overweight can cause poor sleep. (但一项新的研究发现，并不是睡眠不足导致肥胖，而是超重导致睡眠质量差)”可知，新研究关注的是肥胖和睡眠缺失的关系。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In humans, people who get fewer than six hours of sleep per night are more likely to be obese. Moreover, starvation in humans, fruit flies, and worms has been shown to affect sleep, indicating that it is regulated, at least in part, by nutrient availability. (对于人类来说，每晚睡眠少于6小时的人更有可能肥胖。此外，人类、果蝇和蠕虫的饥饿已被证明会影响睡眠，这表明它至少在一定程度上受营养供应的调节)”可知，饥饿造成的营养供应不足会影响睡眠，所以it指代的是前面的睡眠。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers genetically changed C.elegans to “tum off" a nerve cell that controls sleep. These worms could still eat, breathe, and reproduce, but they lost their ability to sleep.With this nerve cell turned off,the researchers saw a severe drop in ATP levels, which is the body's energy currency. “That suggests that sleep is an attempt to conserve energy; it's not actually causing the loss of energy,” Raizen explained. (研究人员从基因上改变了秀丽隐杆线虫，使其“关闭”控制睡眠的神经细胞。这些蠕虫仍然可以进食、呼吸和繁殖，但它们失去了睡眠的能力。随着神经细胞的关闭，研究人员发现ATP水平严重下降，ATP是人体的能量货币。“这表明睡眠是储存能量的一种尝试；它实际上并没有造成能量的损失，”Raizen解释道)”可知，研究人员“关闭”秀丽隐杆线虫的神经细胞为了确定睡眠的功能。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But a new study found that it’s not the sleep loss that leads to obesity, but rather that overweight can cause poor sleep. (但一项新的研究发现，并不是睡眠不足导致肥胖，而是超重导致睡眠质量差)”可知，根据研究人员的说法，人们的身体超重，也就是脂肪无法正常释放这会导致肥胖者的睡眠问题。故选A。

On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.
The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth. The three -child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and deal with the challenge of a rapidly aging population,China Daily reported.
China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row.The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020. The number is below the rate of 2.1 that would maintain a stable population,according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above, rising from 10.3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade. An increasingly elderly population will cause a lack of young labor force.Therefore,it's not good for economic growth, according to Chen Youhua,a professor at Nanjing University.
In fact,the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy. The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.
However, not all people have shown their support for this latest policy.Many couples complained about the rising costs of raising a child. A netizen named Qinfeng commented,"High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child." Also,many women hesitate to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects,according to Mu Guangzong, a professor at Peking University.
In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.
12. What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy
A. To increase the population's role in economic and social development.
B. To maintain a stable population.
C. To keep the birth rate at 1.3.
D. To address the challenge of the aging population.
13. What can be known from the text
A. China's annual number of newborns has fallen for decades.
B. In 2013.Chinese government allowed all couples to have two children.
C. Sacrificing women's career prospects contributes to their willingness to bear more children.
D. Chinese government has loosened its decades-long family planning policy in recent years.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “preferential”
A. favorable. B. powerful.
C. contradictory. D. neutral
15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To show the population's role in driving economic and social growth.
B. To introduce the new family size policy.
C To share his concerns about birthrate and aging population problem.
D. To issue an appeal for easing couples' parental burden.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻。文章介绍了中国颁布了开放三胎的新政策。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020.”（2020年，中国的总出生率(每个妇女生育孩子的平均数量)为1.3。）可知，为了增加人口出生率才引进的新政策，故而不是为了保持1.3的出生率，故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.”（计划生育政策于20世纪70年代出台，旨在控制快速增长的人口。然后在2013年，中国允许夫妻双方都是独生子女的夫妇生育第二个孩子，三年后，所有夫妇都可以生育两个孩子。）可知，近年来，中国政府放松了实行了几十年的计划生育政策，故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.”（穆指出，在这种情况下，最好采取三胎政策的配套措施，比如为夫妇提供更多的____政策，以减轻他们的父母负担。）可知，划线词preferential应该是“有利的，优惠的”的意思，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.”（5月31日，中国共产党召开重要会议，公布了一项政策，允许所有夫妇最多生育三个孩子。）可知，本文的主要目的是向大家介绍开放三胎的新政策，故选B。
