(2012年湖南四市联考)Forget counting sleep.Next time you are having trouble going to sleep,try putting on a jazz CD.
Researchers have shown just 45 minutes of relaxing music before bedtime can make for a restful night.
The Taiwanese researchers studied the sleeping patterns of 60 elderly people with sleep problems.They told the Journal of Advanced Nursing how the technique was easy to learn and lacked the side effects of other treatments.The study participants were either given a choice of music to listen to before going to sleep or nothing at all.The music group were able to choose from six tapes that featured soft,slow music-around 60-80 beats per minute-such as jazz,folk or orchestral pieces.
Listening to music caused physical changes that aided restful sleep,including a lower heart and respiratory(呼吸的) rate,the researchers found.
The people in the music group reported a 35% improvement in their sleep,including better and longer nighttime sleep and less dysfunction(机能障碍) during the day.
Lead author Professor Hui-Ling Lai,of the Buddhist Tzu-Chi General Hospital and the University of Taiwan,said.“The music group reported a 26% overall improvement in the first week and this figure continued to rise as they mastered the technique of relaxing into sedative(安静的) music.”
Professor Jim Horne,from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University,said,“If anyone is a bit agitated before they go to bed,then anything that can help them calm down and relax is a good thing.”
“Some say making sure older people sleep less in the afternoon and get plenty of exposure to daylight can help them get a better night's sleep.”
21.Listening to music before going to sleep ________.
A.is better than other treatments to help you sleep
B.can cure some diseases as well as sleeplessness
C.is a necessary step for the elder
D.can improve one's taste for music

答案:C
23.The underlined word “agitated” means “________”.
A.relaxed B.disappointed
C.nervous D.surprised
解析:猜测词义题。依据语境可知,该词应和其后的calm down及relax相对应,因此选nervous“紧张的”。

24.What's the best title for the passage?
A.People will benefit from music
B.The relation between sleeplessness and music
C.A research shocks the world
D.Listen to music to help you sleep

(2012年武汉二模)Barack Obama,Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs-what do they have in common?They are,of course,all Americans.And according to a survey by social networking site badoo.com,they all best illustrate(举例说明)the word“cool”.
But just what does it mean to say someone is“cool”? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.
Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term“cool”goes back to 15th century West Arican philosophy(哲学).“Cool”relates to ideas of grace (优雅)under pressure.
“in Africa,”he writes,“coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness,silence,and life.”
The modern idea of“cool”developed largely in the US in the period after World War Ⅱ.“Post-war‘cool’was in part an expression of war -weariness...it went against the strict social rules of the time,”write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules:Anatomy of an Attitude.
But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for“cool”in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause. Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities.He always gets the girl,smokes cigarettes,wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies (欺凌弱小者).In the movie,Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.
Today the focus of “cool”has changed to athletics stars.Often in movies about schools,students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom.This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.
But many teenagers also think being smart is cool.Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.
“Call it the Harry Potterization of America-a time when being smart is the new cool,”writes journalist Joe Sunnen.
【文章解读】 Lady Gaga新语“酷”词,追溯“酷”词的历史。

A.do very well in their studies

Ⅲ.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
My students often tell me that they do not have “enough time” to do all their homework.My response often is “You have as much time as the president.”I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone,and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school,I tried to prove to my professor that I was working hard.His answer was “That's irrelevant(不相干).What's important is the quality of your work.”That led me to a new idea:the quality of the work,which is perhaps best explained in a sign:“Don't_work_harder.Work smarter.”
If you can't get more time,as few of us can,the only solution is to improve the quality of your work.That means improving ways to get more out of the same time.That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits,which for students should be read as “study habits”.
Then as a smart student,you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study,chiefly reading and writing.If you can,it will pay off in all your subjects.
As to improving reading,one suggestion is to take a quick nap when you feel reading puts you to sleep,which later helps you read better.The second solution is to speed up.
But there are other issues.First,you need to find a place where you can work without unnecessary disturbances.Second,you need to take control.Success depends on realizing that you have to take active control over what you are doing.Third,you might as well get hold of a good book on reading and master the reading skills that pay off in all your classes.
Talking about advice on good writing habits,you simply have to master the writing skills.
Increasing your efficiency in both reading and writing will pay off immediately in terms of the quality of your work and in terms of the time spent doing it.Then you will be able to do better work in less time.And maybe you will find time to play golf with the president.
36.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.In fact,everyone has as much time as the president.
B.The key to having enough time is to improve work quality.
C.Reading and writing matter a lot in finishing homework.
D.Not having enough time is unacceptable for unfinished work.
解析:主旨大意题。由第二、三段内容可知。
答案:B
37.According to the author,the students do not have enough time to get their work done
mainly because ________.
A.they lack good learning habits
B.they only have 24 hours a day
C.they feel sleepy while reading
D.they are not good at writing
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第三句可知本题选A。
答案:A
38.The author believes a most important way for a student to improve work quality is to
________.
A.improve reading and writing skills
B.find a quiet place to read and write
C.take control over his or her work
D.read and write in all classes
解析:由文章的第四段的内容可知本题选A。
答案:A
39.According to the passage,“Don't work harder” means that ________.
A.one should not be more devoted to one's work
B.one should not spend more time in working
C.working harder is not allowed in our daily life
D.working harder is not the key point in work
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句可知本题选B。

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle,the cofounder of parkour(跑酷).
Do you love running?It is a good exercise,yet many people find it boring.But what if making your morning jog a creative one?Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls?Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale?Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way.It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes,that's parkour,an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible,getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body.Parkour is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city,they may jump over fences,run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds,but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(哲理) behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must determine your destination,go straight,and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life,to reach the destinatiion successfully.A parkour lover said,“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life,my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom.It can be done by anyone,at any time,anywhere in the world.It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
【语篇解读】 电影中的邦德让跑酷运动风靡全球,它既是对人体能力极限的挑战,也是对人生意志与自由的追求。

(2011年大纲卷)“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Henning to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004.“Are you ready?” is what she heard.Then she said,“I shook my head no,and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again.”
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan,Louisiana-she was still on_cloud_nine.
“I was so shocked!I never believed that it could actually really happen.”Present in the audience(观众) that day were:her mother and father,older brother,her friends,and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there,AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete(比赛).“She's always been my role model.I've danced with her since I was six.She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all.I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident.He was 18.She found writing helped her get through the rough days.She said,“I write a lot about my brother.I writer a lot,a lot,a lot...”
As Miss Louisiana Teen,she traveled around the state speaking to teens(青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving.In her role as Miss Teen USA,Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers,she said,“Don't let anyone change you.Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself.That way,it is easy to be yourself.”
