三、答案:EGADF
解析:①根据上文中的"What works for some might not work as well for others"可知,对一些人有效的方法不一定对其他人也同样有效,所以应该找到最适合自己的睡眠习惯。故选E。
②根据上文中的"Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night"可知,本段主要讲要制订一个有规律的睡眠时间。因此接下来应说选择一个自己通常感到疲倦的时刻,这样你能够容易入睡。故选G。
③根据下文中的"If you get enough sleep, you should wake up on time naturally without an alarm"可知,如果你得到了足够的睡眠,你应该不需要闹钟就可以按时自然醒来。故本段主旨句应该是说每天在相同的时间醒来。故选A。本段中的"keep your regular wake-up time"也是信息提示。
④根据上文中的"While taking a nap can be a great way to recharge one's batteries, especially for the elderly, it can make insomnia(失眠) worse"可知,小睡虽然是一个养精蓄锐的好方式,尤其对老年人来说,但是它能使失眠更严重。接下来应该说,如果失眠对你来说是一个问题的话,那么应该考虑放弃小睡了。故选D。

四、答案:①solution ②different ③being destroyed ④it ⑤has had ⑥probably ⑦the ⑧be called ⑨when ⑩to tell
解析:①考查词性转换。句意: 在许多以太空为主题的电影中, 每当地球面临灾难时, 解决办法总是乘坐宇宙飞船逃离地球。冠词后要用名词。
②考查词性转换。句意: 但是最新的中国科幻电影《流浪地球》提出了一个不同的、更有野心的想法。设空处修饰名词idea, 应用形容词。
③考查非谓语动词。句意: 在电影中, 地球有被垂死的太阳毁灭的危险。介词of后应用动名词形式, destroy和主语Earth之间是被动关系, 应用动名词的被动形式。
④考查代词。此处指这次我们带着它。此处it指代上文提到的Earth。
⑤考查时态。根据时间状语For thousands of years可知, 该空应用现在完成时。
⑥考查词性转换。句意: 这种特殊的文化背景很可能是使《流浪地球》有别于好莱坞式太空电影的地方。修饰表语从句, 应用副词。
⑦考查冠词。此处特指该部电影的导演, 应用定冠词the表示特指。
⑧考查语态。动词call与主语A vehicle之间是被动关系, 且情态动词can后应用动词原形, 故填be called。
⑨考查定语从句。句意: 那是许多人刚刚艰难地回到他们的家乡的时候。此处when引导定语从句, 修饰先行词time, 定语从句中缺少时间状语, 应用when引导。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意: 所以对他们来说, 只有一种可能的方式来讲述这个故事: 人类去哪里地球就去哪里, 因为它是我们的家。way后应用不定式作后置定语。
