For the past 10 years I have been cycling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Every summer vacation, I spend a month biking across the plateau.
In 2014, I set out on a cycle route with five other people in the far west of the Tibet autonomous region. Our 2,000-kilometer route started in Lhasa in the east, passed through the northern part of the prefecture (辖区) and ended in the west.
Titled the “top of the Roof of the World”, the plateau, which has a small population, has incredible scenery. Travelers can see the snowy mountains, clean blue lakes, lots of animals during the day, and clear, starry skies at night.
The route consists of dirt, even broken stones and paths, which have been formed over time by passing vehicles. Animal attacks are a potential risk in the wild. One night, we had to camp near a forest where there were potential animal attacks, especially from wolves. We found a house in a locked yard, but no one answered our calls from the gate. It was the time of the seasonal migration, so maybe the people had moved to another place for better water and grass. Then we had to camp outside. One of us was very experienced and careful. He placed some hay bales (干草捆) alongside the wall and said that if something dangerous happened, we could use them to jump into the yard and shelter (躲避) in the house.
Luckily, we didn’t meet any wolves or other animals, though we could hear them calling. Animal attacks remain a major cause of injuries on that route. Before the trip, we read online that a traveler had been bitten by wolves. The temporary “step” our companion built made us feel safer.

One debate about chicken eggs is why white eggs usually cost more than brown ones. Some people think white eggs are more nutritious (有营养的). Is that true According to Sherman Hickman, the director of community outreach and education for Hickman’s Family Farms, it’s first important to know why chickens have different egg colors.
Jesse LaFlamme is the CEO of Pete and Gerry’s Organic Egg. She says, the chicken breed (品种) decides whether or not hens have pigment genes, the natural chemical that results in a colored shell. Although all eggs start out white in color, shell color can change from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds. An interesting way to know what color eggs a hen lays is to look at the color of its ear feathers (羽毛), LaFlamme says. Breeds such as the Leghorn chickens lay white eggs, while Orpington chickens lay brown eggs and Ameraucana chickens produce blue eggs.
Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is a popular choice for farmers because it lays more eggs. Hens that produce colored eggshells, however, usually are larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted shells. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive.
Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently, it’s impossible to know their nutrition according to shell color alone. “Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference,” Malina Linkas Malkani, media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says. “But it’s important for people to know that the color of the eggshell is related to the breed of the hen, not the egg’s nutrition, quality or shell thickness.” What does affect the nutrition is the specific food the hen eats, according to Malkani.
28. What decides the color of eggshells
A. Hens’ breed.
B. Eggs’ nutrition.
C. Shell thickness.
D. Hens’ ear feathers.
29. Which one among the following matches is right
A. Ameraucana chickens lay white eggs
B. Orpington chickens lay brown eggs
C. Leghorn chickens lay blue eggs
D. Hickman’s Family Farms chickens lay red eggs
30. Why are eggs of Leghorn chickens more expensive
A. They lay rare eggs.
B. Raising them costs more.
C. Their eggshells are white.
D. Their eggs are more nutritious.
31. What does Malina Linkas Malkani try to explain
A. Why eggs are priced differently.
B. What color of eggs people like best.
C. What decides the nutrition of eggs.
D. Why people like to eat eggs.
D
For those in search of safe, non-medicine sleep aids (助手), sound machines are a popular choice. The National Sleep Foundation recently found that 5% of Americans sleep with a “sound conditioner”. It can be a fan, phone app, or other noise-producing machines.
Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, says a sound conditioner is a lifesaver if you live where loud nighttime noise is common. But even if your bedroom is very quiet, sound machines can still be helpful if you’re the type of person unsettled by a total absence of noise, or if you’re a light sleeper who wakes from even the softest sound.
Research supports the idea that a little background sound can help people fall asleep. For a study in the journal Sleep Medicine, the researchers asked sleepers to listen to recorded hospital sounds either with or without a white noise machine. They found that those who slept with the white noise machine were hardly affected by the hospital sounds, while others who slept without white noise were easily awakened.
There’s also so-called “pink noise” and “brown noise”, which can sound similar to white noise. “I don’t think there’s enough evidence yet to say one type is better than another,” says Michelle Drerup, a sleep psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic. “I know from talking with my patients that some people prefer natural sounds, like a rainstorm. But others don’t want a sound at all when they sleep,” she says. “It all comes down to the individual (个人).”
For some, the best sound might be none. “Biologically (生物学上), you don’t need this sound to sleep,” says Michael Grandner, “and if you use it every night, you can get so used to it that you can’t sleep without it.” Most sleep experts agree. “I wouldn’t suggest people use sound machines to sleep unless they’re reporting difficulties with outside noises,” an expert says.
32. According to the text, who should sleep with a sound conditioner
A. Those who fall asleep fast.
B. Those who wake up easily.
C. Those who live in a quiet street.
D. Those who are afraid to sleep alone.
33. What does Michelle Drerup think of the best type of sound for sleep
A. Pink noise and brown noise are better.
B. Sleeping without any noise is the best.
C. It all depends on personal preferences.
D. Natural sounds are the best for people.
34. What is most experts’ suggestion
A. To use sound machines as little as possible.
B. To see a doctor with your sleeping problems.
C. To find a very quiet place to treat sleeping problems.
D. To break the habits of sleeping with sound machines.
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Most Americans have a bad sleep.
B. White noises are good for humans.
C. Sound conditioners are a safe, non-medicine sleep aid.
D. Not everyone should sleep with white noise machine.

When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions, our school team was divided into two to have a match against each other. The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy(奖品). “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, shouted. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. Since John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone, not even his teammates, take it.
“Pass the ball to me, John!” I shouted. I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop(篮筺). To my shock, John made a rude face at me. I made an attempt to grab the ball from him. When I got my hands on the ball, it became a tug-of-war(激烈竞争) between John and me. Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano. “Children! Is this the type of behavior that I should be seeing The match is in two weeks! Do you even know the importance of teamwork ” Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match. “I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match before I retire.” I choked on my tears. My heart sank. We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time, when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match. After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
注意：

One debate about chicken eggs is why white eggs usually cost more than brown ones. Some people think white eggs are more nutritious (有营养的). Is that true According to Sherman Hickman, the director of community outreach and education for Hickman’s Family Farms, it’s first important to know why chickens have different egg colors.
Jesse LaFlamme is the CEO of Pete and Gerry’s Organic Egg. She says, the chicken breed (品种) decides whether or not hens have pigment genes, the natural chemical that results in a colored shell. Although all eggs start out white in color, shell color can change from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds. An interesting way to know what color eggs a hen lays is to look at the color of its ear feathers (羽毛), LaFlamme says. Breeds such as the Leghorn chickens lay white eggs, while Orpington chickens lay brown eggs and Ameraucana chickens produce blue eggs.
Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is a popular choice for farmers because it lays more eggs. Hens that produce colored eggshells, however, usually are larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted shells. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive.
Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently, it’s impossible to know their nutrition according to shell color alone. “Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference,” Malina Linkas Malkani, media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says. “But it’s important for people to know that the color of the eggshell is related to the breed of the hen, not the egg’s nutrition, quality or shell thickness.” What does affect the nutrition is the specific food the hen eats, according to Malkani.

细节理解题。根据第二段“Breeds such as the Leghorn chickens lay white eggs, while Orpington chickens lay brown eggs and Ameraucana chickens produce blue eggs. (品种如下，Leghorn鸡下的蛋是白色的，而Orpington鸡下的蛋是棕色的，Ameraucana鸡下的蛋是蓝色的)”可知，Orpington鸡下的蛋是棕色的正确。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is a popular choice for farmers because it lays more eggs. Hens that produce colored eggshells, however, usually are larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted shells. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive. (希克曼指出，Leghorn品种是农民的热门选择，因为它能下更多的蛋。然而，产彩色蛋壳的母鸡通常更大，需要更多的饲料和能量来生产彩色蛋壳。由于这些品种的饲料成本更高，它们的鸡蛋也更贵)”可知，Leghorn鸡通常更大，需要更多的饲料和能量，所以成本更高，鸡蛋也更贵。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段“ “But it’s important for people to know that the color of the eggshell is related to the breed of the hen, not the egg’s nutrition, quality or shell thickness.” What does affect the nutrition is the specific food the hen eats, according to Malkani.(“但重要的是，人们要知道蛋壳的颜色与母鸡的品种有关，而不是鸡蛋的营养、质量或蛋壳厚度。”根据Malkani的说法，影响母鸡营养的是母鸡吃的特定食物)”可推知，Malkani试图解释是什么决定鸡蛋的营养。故选C。
D
For those in search of safe, non-medicine sleep aids (助手), sound machines are a popular choice. The National Sleep Foundation recently found that 5% of Americans sleep with a “sound conditioner”. It can be a fan, phone app, or other noise-producing machines.
Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, says a sound conditioner is a lifesaver if you live where loud nighttime noise is common. But even if your bedroom is very quiet, sound machines can still be helpful if you’re the type of person unsettled by a total absence of noise, or if you’re a light sleeper who wakes from even the softest sound.
Research supports the idea that a little background sound can help people fall asleep. For a study in the journal Sleep Medicine, the researchers asked sleepers to listen to recorded hospital sounds either with or without a white noise machine. They found that those who slept with the white noise machine were hardly affected by the hospital sounds, while others who slept without white noise were easily awakened.
There’s also so-called “pink noise” and “brown noise”, which can sound similar to white noise. “I don’t think there’s enough evidence yet to say one type is better than another,” says Michelle Drerup, a sleep psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic. “I know from talking with my patients that some people prefer natural sounds, like a rainstorm. But others don’t want a sound at all when they sleep,” she says. “It all comes down to the individual (个人).”
For some, the best sound might be none. “Biologically (生物学上), you don’t need this sound to sleep,” says Michael Grandner, “and if you use it every night, you can get so used to it that you can’t sleep without it.” Most sleep experts agree. “I wouldn’t suggest people use sound machines to sleep unless they’re reporting difficulties with outside noises,” an expert says.
32. According to the text, who should sleep with a sound conditioner
A. Those who fall asleep fast.
B. Those who wake up easily.
C. Those who live in a quiet street.
D. Those who are afraid to sleep alone.
33. What does Michelle Drerup think of the best type of sound for sleep
A. Pink noise and brown noise are better.
B. Sleeping without any noise is the best.
C. It all depends on personal preferences.
D. Natural sounds are the best for people.
34. What is most experts’ suggestion
A. To use sound machines as little as possible.
B. To see a doctor with your sleeping problems.
C. To find a very quiet place to treat sleeping problems.
D. To break the habits of sleeping with sound machines.
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Most Americans have a bad sleep.
B. White noises are good for humans.
C. Sound conditioners are a safe, non-medicine sleep aid.
D. Not everyone should sleep with white noise machine.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了声音机器作为非药物睡眠辅助工具在帮助人们入睡方面的作用。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“For those in search of safe, non-medicine sleep aids (助手), sound machines are a popular choice. The National Sleep Foundation recently found that 5% of Americans sleep with a “sound conditioner”.(对于那些寻求安全、非药物睡眠辅助的人来说，声音机器是一个受欢迎的选择。美国国家睡眠基金会最近发现，5%的美国人睡觉时使用“降噪机”)”和第二段中“But even if your bedroom is very quiet, sound machines can still be helpful if you’re the type of person unsettled by a total absence of noise, or if you’re a light sleeper who wakes from even the softest sound.(但如果你是那种对完全没有噪音感到不安的人，或者如果你是一个听到最轻微的声音也会醒来的轻度睡眠者，即使你的卧室非常安静，声音机器也会有所帮助)”可推知，那些睡眠不好，容易醒来的人应该使用降噪机。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““I know from talking with my patients that some people prefer natural sounds, like a rainstorm. But others don’t want a sound at all when they sleep,” she says. “It all comes down to the individual (个人).”(“我从和病人的交谈中知道，有些人更喜欢自然的声音，比如暴风雨的声音。但有些人睡觉时根本不想听到声音，”她说。“这一切都取决于个人。”)”可知，米歇尔·德鲁普认为最适合睡觉的声音取决于个人喜好。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Biologically (生物学上), you don’t need this sound to sleep,” says Michael Grandner, “and if you use it every night, you can get so used to it that you can’t sleep without it.” Most sleep experts agree.(“从生物学角度来说，你不需要这种声音来睡觉，”Michael Grandner说，“如果你每天晚上都听这种声音，你就会习惯它，以至于没有它你就睡不着。”大多数睡眠专家同意)”可推知，大多数专家都认为人们会对降噪机产生依赖，所以会建议是尽可能少地使用这种声音机器。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段“For those in search of safe, non-medicine sleep aids (助手), sound machines are a popular choice. The National Sleep Foundation recently found that 5% of Americans sleep with a “sound conditioner”. It can be a fan, phone app, or other noise-producing machines.(对于那些寻求安全、非药物睡眠辅助的人来说，声音机器是一个受欢迎的选择。美国国家睡眠基金会最近发现，5%的美国人睡觉时使用“降噪机”。它可以是风扇、手机应用程序或其他产生噪音的机器)”可知，文章介绍了声音机器作为非药物睡眠辅助工具在帮助人们入睡方面的作用，故“Sound conditioners are a safe, non-medicine sleep aid.(降噪机是一种安全的、非药物的助眠剂)”是文章主旨。故选C项。

67. 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。
When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions, our school team was divided into two to have a match against each other. The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy(奖品). “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, shouted. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. Since John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone, not even his teammates, take it.
“Pass the ball to me, John!” I shouted. I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop(篮筺). To my shock, John made a rude face at me. I made an attempt to grab the ball from him. When I got my hands on the ball, it became a tug-of-war(激烈竞争) between John and me. Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano. “Children! Is this the type of behavior that I should be seeing The match is in two weeks! Do you even know the importance of teamwork ” Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match. “I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match before I retire.” I choked on my tears. My heart sank. We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time, when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match. After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Para. 1
On the day of the match, we stood face-to-face with our opponents, the team from River Primary School.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2
John did a perfect overhead throw and I caught the ball in mid-air.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】On the day of the match, we stood face-to-face with our opponents, the team from River Primary School. Once again, Coach Leong reminded us to work as a team. The referee blew the whistle and flung the basketball into the air. I knew I had to give my team a head start, so I leaped up in the air to grab the ball. "John, catch!" I yelled at the top of my voice. John was short but he could run at lightning speed, and I think the other team assumed he was the last person I would pass the ball to. Before the opposing team could reach John, he had already shot the ball into the basketball hoop. Our team cheered with joy, and I punched the air twice with my fist.
John did a perfect overhead throw, and I caught the ball in mid-air. As the entire opposing team charged towards me, I kept my calm even though I was surrounded. I threw the ball over their heads. It flew through the air like a missile into the hands of Eric, who was standing right behind our opponents, next to the basketball hoop. Eric dunked the ball in. We won the match 5-0. Finally, we managed to work as a team and Coach Leong was very satisfied. Each of us received a trophy for our amazing efforts. As I recalled the match, I smiled as I looked at the trophy. I realized that the most important thing was not the trophy but the value of teamwork that I had learnt from that match.
