When you get older your parents let you stay up later. But that doesn’t make it a good idea. Tired people intend (倾向) to be unhappy ones, and their schoolwork suffers, says a recent study by the US National Sleep Foundation.
“If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you tend to sleep in school. If you’re asleep, you don’t learn anything,” says Mary Carskadon, an American sleep researcher.
Sleep is important because it gives our bodies time to recover from the stress of living. Studies show that adults who sleep less than six hours a night tend to have more heart problems. They die sooner than adults who sleep seven to eight hours a night.
How much sleep do you need That depends on how old you are. Babies spend most of the day asleep. By the time they’re 10 years old they need an average (平均 ) of 10 hours a night. As they get older, they tend to sleep less. And the Sleep Foundation says that teenagers need 8. 5 to nine hours. But in experiments where young teens are allowed to sleep as long as they want, they tend to choose to sleep an average of 10 hours.
However, it does seem difficult for kids to get the sleep they need, given the demands (要求) made on them by education. Some schools start as early as 7 am. Some schools have late classes or self-study sessions (时段) that end as late as 10 pm.
You have to study, but here are some tips that should help you feel less tired.
Watch less television. Go to bed just 30 minutes earlier each school night, and you’ll gain two hours and a half of sleep a week.
Cutting out caffeine (咖啡因) also helps. Soda, tea and coffee help you stay wake, but they can make it harder to fall asleep.
Before you go to bed, turn off any electrical devices (电子设备) as these can make it more difficult to get to sleep.
So, switch off the TV, computer and the lights. Oh, yes, and sweet dreams!
4. What may not happen to a child if he doesn’t get enough sleep
A. He feels unhappy. B. He does badly in his homework.
C. He falls asleep in the classroom. D. He suffers a heart attack.
5. Generally speaking, how long does a 13-year-old kid need to sleep
A. Ten hours. B. Nine hours. C. Eight hours. D. Seven hours.
6. What can make you have a good sleep
A. Drinking some tea.
B. Watching a 2-hour film.
C. Turning off the lights.
D. Playing with smartphones.
7. This text is mainly written for
A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Kids. D. Adults.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了睡眠对人们健康的重要性，以及一些小提示来帮助人们更好地获得足够的睡眠。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Tired people intend (倾向) to be unhappy ones, and their schoolwork suffers, says a recent study by the US National Sleep Foundation. (美国国家睡眠基金会最近的一项研究表明，疲劳的人倾向于成为不快乐的人，他们的学业也会受到影响。)”以及第二段中“If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you tend to sleep in school. If you’re asleep, you don’t learn anything (如果你晚上睡眠不足，你就会在学校里睡觉。如果你睡着了，你什么也学不到。)”可知，得不到充足睡眠的人会不开心，学业受到影响以及在下午容易睡觉，这些都能发生。D选项“He suffers a heart attack. (他心脏病发作。)”文中并未提及，故D选项与原文信息不符。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“ And the Sleep Foundation says that teenagers need 8. 5 to nine hours.(睡眠基金会表示，青少年需要8.5到9个小时的睡眠时间。)”可知，青少年即13岁的孩子大概需要8.5到9个小时的睡眠时间。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So, switch off the TV, computer and the lights. Oh, yes, and sweet dreams!( 所以，关掉电视，电脑和灯。哦，是的，做个好梦!)”可知，文章建议关掉电视，电脑和灯等能够有好的睡眠。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“When you get older your parents let you stay up later. But that doesn’t make it a good idea. Tired people intend (倾向) to be unhappy ones, and their schoolwork suffers, says a recent study by the US National Sleep Foundation.(当你长大后，你的父母会让你晚睡。但这不是个好主意。美国国家睡眠基金会(National Sleep Foundation)最近的一项研究表明，疲劳的人倾向于成为不快乐的人，他们的学业也会受到影响。)”以及通读全文可知，文章是以孩子的口吻来进行描述，介绍了睡眠对人们健康的重要性，以及一些小提示来帮助孩子们更好地获得足够的睡眠，由此推断这篇文章主要是为孩子们写的。故选C。

The way you use your cellphones around your family can have an effect on your relationships. Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract (使分心) you and your family from connecting with each other in person. While some people need to check their phones for work or emergency (紧急情况) purposes, it’s important to make meaningful connections through face to face communication.
Some people have trouble putting away their cellphones. They might feel they can’t control how often they pick up their phones or how long they use them. They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones. Using cellphones for work purposes during family time can increase worries and unhappiness among family members. While using their cellphones, parents talk to their kids less, reply more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted. And ignoring their partner while on the phone is linked to lower relationship satisfaction among couples.
Once you’ve given some thought to your own cellphone use, think about the rules you want your family to follow when you’re together. To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting. Review each person’s current cellphone use and areas where you think some changes might help. It’s not just about simply cutting cellphone use down. Instead, consider what you’re using your phone for and what activities you want to carry out.
For example, are you or your children using phones to stay connected, learn something new, do school work, or do something else If you have kids, ask their opinions on your own phone use. You might be surprised by what they have to share. Use good communication skills by practicing active listening and showing curiosity about what each family member has to say.
Less phone use also usually means less screen time, which enables kids to spend more time outdoors and be more physically active. When teens spend more time actively with their parents, they tend to set higher educational goals.
8. What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A. Family members’ connections. B. Cellphones’ new challenges at home.
C. One disadvantage of the cellphones. D. People’s staying away from cellphones.
9. How do some people feel when they have no phone at hand
A. Uneasy. B. Uncertain. C. Curious. D. Homesick.
10. Why should a family meeting be held
A. To carry out activities. B. To reach an agreement.
C. To share the latest news. D. To set an example to others.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Are Cellphones Influencing Family Time
B. Are Mobile Phones Changing People’s Life
C. How Can People Get Along with Their Parents
D. How Do Children Set Right Educational Goals
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A

Recently, the researchers for underwater exploration introduced a new robot, which is soft and has no harm to sea life when it works. However, they are not so welcome in the robot market because they are quite slow and have a hard time operating through the water. But that may change soon thanks to a self-driven soft robot created by researchers at the University of California.
For their design, the researchers got inspiration from one of nature’s fastest swimmers — squids (乌贼). They can use their strong muscles to draw in water and promptly spread it out. By doing this, they are able to move forward at a fast speed.
The recently-developed robot, which looks like a paper lantern, was basically built using soft materials. An nozzle (喷嘴) fixed on one side helps draw in and release water each time the robot shrinks, which enables it to swim forward, similar to a squid. A plate holds a waterproof part that can house a camera to record data, which is of great value to further development of the robot. It also has its own power source, allowing it to float for a long time.
“Importantly we recreated all the key features that squids use for high-speed swimming. This is the first robot that can achieve the result by changing its body shape, which improves swimming efficiency (效率) . ” said Professor Michael T .
Though the squid robot has not been tested in open waters, it successfully swam around coral and fish in a large tank. What’s more, the robot had an impressive speed of 18 to 32 centimeters per second, or about half a mile per hour. Though nowhere close to real squids, it is faster than most other soft robots.
12. What do researchers say about the present robot
A. It is quite popular in the market. B. It is easy to operate underwater.
C. It has a bad effect on sea creatures. D. It needs improving in some ways.
13. What does the underlined word “promptly” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Safely. B. Quickly. C. Patiently. D. Naturally.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the robot
A. Its appearance. B. Its production.
C. Its research background. D. Its working process.
15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the squid robot
A. Curious. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加州大学的研究人员发明的一种自动驾驶的软体机器人，该机器人速度快，可以通过改变身体形状来提高游泳速度。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Recently, the researchers for underwater exploration introduced a new robot, which is soft and has no harm to sea life when it works. However, they are not so welcome in the robot market because they are quite slow and have a hard time operating through the water. (最近，水下探测的研究人员推出了一种新型机器人，它柔软，工作时对海洋生物没有伤害。然而，它们在机器人市场上不太受欢迎，因为它们速度很慢，在水中操作很困难。)”可推断，目前这款机器人的速度和在水中操作方面需要改进。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“For their design, the researchers got inspiration from one of nature’s fastest swimmers — squids (乌贼). (研究人员从自然界游泳速度最快的乌贼那里获得了灵感，从而有了他们的设计。)”可知，这款机器人的设计灵感来自乌贼，而乌贼的速度很快；再根据划线单词下一句“By doing this, they are able to move forward at a fast speed. (通过这样做，它们能够快速前进。)”可知，这样做的话，它们就能快速前进。由此判断，进水喷水速度也很快。所以划线单词的意思应该和快速相似。选项A“Safely (安全地)”；选项B“Quickly (快速地)”；选项C“Patiently (有耐心地)”；选项D“Naturally (自然而然)”。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“An nozzle(喷嘴)fixed on one side helps draw in and release water each time the robot shrinks, which enables it to swim forward, similar to a squid. A plate holds a waterproof part that can house a camera to record data, which is of great value to further development of the robot. It also has its own power source, allowing it to float for a long time. (固定在一侧的喷嘴有助于在每次收缩时吸入和释放水，这使机器人能够向前游动，类似于乌贼。平板上装有防水部件，可以安装摄像头记录数据，这对机器人的进一步开发有很大价值。它也有自己的电源，使它可以漂浮很长时间。)”可知，本段主要介绍了这款机器人的工作过程。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Though the squid robot has not been tested in open waters, it successfully swam around coral and fish in a large tank. What's more, the robot had an impressive speed of 18 to 32 centimeters per second, or about half a mile per hour. Though nowhere close to real squids, it is faster than most other soft robots. (虽然这款乌贼机器人还没有在开阔水域进行过测试，但它成功地在一个大鱼缸里绕过了珊瑚和鱼类。更重要的是，这个机器人的速度令人印象深刻，达到了每秒18到32厘米，或每小时半英里。虽然与真正的乌贼相去甚远，但它比大多数其他软体机器人都要快。)”可推断，作者对于这款机器人的极为肯定。故选C。

37. Its 38. when
39. but/yet
40. an 41. served
42. adding 43. widely
44. to cook
45. to
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一道传统的中国菜——宫保鸡丁以及它的制作经历。它以其丰富多样而闻名，被许多人认为是国际上最受欢迎的中国菜。
【36题详解】
考查词性转换。此处Its是形容词性物主代词，后面跟名词，故答案为popularity。
【37题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：它的味道融合了酸、甜、辣，前两种是主要的。此处flavor是名词，用形容词性物主代词修饰，故答案为Its。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这是一个很好的年夜饭的选择，这是大多数中国家庭享受在一起的时间。此处Spring Festival Eve做先行词，在后面的定语从句中作时间状语，故答案为when。
【39题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：宫保鸡丁是一道川菜，但它起源于山东省的辣菜系。前后是一种转折关系，故答案为but/yet。
【40题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：这道菜被认为是清朝官员丁宝桢发明的。此处___5___ official是Ding Baozhen的同位语，且official以元音开头，故填an表示“一”。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：丁先后在山东省和四川省担任过领导人。这是在讲过去的事情，所以句子用一般过去时态，served as“担任，充当”，故答案为served。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意：他喜欢吃花生和辛辣的食物，所以他在山东菜“江宝鸡”中加了辣椒。by doing sth.“通过做某事”，此处用动名词作介词宾语，故答案为adding。
【43题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：有些人甚至用肉代替鸡肉来做这道菜。固定搭配：use +宾语+to do sth.“用---做---”。故答案为to cook。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。此处spreads是动词，副词修饰动词，故答案为widely。
【45题详解】
考查固定词组。according to“按着”，故答案为to。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词Spring Festival Eve，再分析先行词Spring Festival Eve在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词Spring Festival Eve带到从句中可知，只能作时间状语，故确定关系词为when。

When you get older your parents let you stay up later. But that doesn’t make it a good idea. Tired people intend (倾向) to be unhappy ones, and their schoolwork suffers, says a recent study by the US National Sleep Foundation.
“If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you tend to sleep in school. If you’re asleep, you don’t learn anything,” says Mary Carskadon, an American sleep researcher.
Sleep is important because it gives our bodies time to recover from the stress of living. Studies show that adults who sleep less than six hours a night tend to have more heart problems. They die sooner than adults who sleep seven to eight hours a night.
How much sleep do you need That depends on how old you are. Babies spend most of the day asleep. By the time they’re 10 years old, they need an average (平均 ) of 10 hours a night. As they get older, they tend to sleep less. And the Sleep Foundation says that teenagers need 8. 5 to nine hours. But in experiments where young teens are allowed to sleep as long as they want, they tend to choose to sleep an average of 10 hours.
However, it does seem difficult for kids to get the sleep they need, given the demands (要求) made on them by education. Some schools start as early as 7 am. Some schools have late classes or self-study sessions (时段) that end as late as 10 pm.
You have to study, but here are some tips that should help you feel less tired.
Watch less television. Go to bed just 30 minutes earlier each school night, and you’ll gain two hours and a half of sleep a week.
Cutting out caffeine (咖啡因) also helps. Soda, tea and coffee help you stay wake, but they can make it harder to fall asleep.
Before you go to bed, turn off any electrical devices (电子设备) as these can make it more difficult to get to sleep.
So, switch off the TV, computer and the lights. Oh, yes, and sweet dreams!
4. What may not happen to a child if he doesn’t get enough sleep
A. He feels unhappy. B. He does badly in his homework.
C. He falls asleep in the classroom. D. He suffers a heart attack.
5. Generally speaking, how long does a 13-year-old kid need to sleep
A. Ten hours. B. Nine hours. C. Eight hours. D. Seven hours.
6. What can make you have a good sleep
A. Drinking some tea.
B. Watching a 2-hour film.
C. Turning off the lights.
D Playing with smartphones.
7. This text is mainly written for
A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Kids. D. Adults.
C
The way you use your cellphones around your family can have an effect on your relationships. Cellphones can make you feel more connected, but they can also distract (使分心) you and your family from connecting with each other in person. While some people need to check their phones for work or emergency (紧急情况) purposes, it’s important to make meaningful connections through face to face communication.
Some people have trouble putting away their cellphones. They might feel they can’t control how often they pick up their phones or how long they use them. They might feel the need to often check phones without a real reason or feel upset if they don’t have an opportunity to use their phones. Using cellphones for work purposes during family time can increase worries and unhappiness among family members. While using their cellphones, parents talk to their kids less, reply more slowly, and overreact to being interrupted. And ignoring their partner while on the phone is linked to lower relationship satisfaction among couples.
Once you’ve given some thought to your own cellphone use, think about the rules you want your family to follow when you’re together. To get your family on the same page, call a family meeting. Review each person’s current cellphone use and areas where you think some changes might help. It’s not just about simply cutting cellphone use down. Instead, consider what you’re using your phone for and what activities you want to carry out.

Recently, the researchers for underwater exploration introduced a new robot, which is soft and has no harm to sea life when it works. However, they are not so welcome in the robot market because they are quite slow and have a hard time operating through the water. But that may change soon thanks to a self-driven soft robot created by researchers at the University of California.
For their design the researchers got inspiration from one of nature’s fastest swimmers — squids (乌贼). They can use their strong muscles to draw in water and promptly spread it out. By doing this, they are able to move forward at a fast speed.
The recently-developed robot, which looks like a paper lantern, was basically built using soft materials. An nozzle (喷嘴) fixed on one side helps draw in and release water each time the robot shrinks, which enables it to swim forward, similar to a squid. A plate holds a waterproof part that can house a camera to record data, which is of great value to further development of the robot. It also has its own power source, allowing it to float for a long time.
“Importantly, we recreated all the key features that squids use for high-speed swimming. This is the first robot that can achieve the result by changing its body shape, which improves swimming efficiency (效率) . ” said Professor Michael T .
Though the squid robot has not been tested in open waters, it successfully swam around coral and fish in a large tank. What’s more, the robot had an impressive speed of 18 to 32 centimeters per second, or about half a mile per hour. Though nowhere close to real squids, it is faster than most other soft robots.
12. What do researchers say about the present robot
A. It is quite popular in the market. B. It is easy to operate underwater.
C. It has a bad effect on sea creatures. D. It needs improving in some ways.
13. What does the underlined word “promptly” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Safely. B. Quickly. C. Patiently. D. Naturally.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the robot
A. Its appearance. B. Its production.
C. Its research background. D. Its working process.
15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the squid robot
A. Curious. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
