A
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!
31. A good title for this passage is ________.
A. Sleep B. Good Health C. Dreams D. Work and Rest
32. The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means ________.
A. sick B. stand up C. a little sleepy D. asleep
33. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ________.
A. dream more often B. have poor health
C. nervous D. breathe quickly
34. During REM, ________.
A. your eyes move quickly B. you dream
C. you are restless D. both A and B
35. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ________.
A. approximately six hours B. around ten hours
C. about eight hours D. not stated here
B
Crocodiles lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Crocodiles have special sharp teeth with which to break their way out of the shells.
Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. The crocodile’s long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plates which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile bird. For its food, this bird takes the bits left in the crocodile’s mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its own teeth, for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows of terrible sharp teeth it seizes (抓) its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drowns.
36. We can find crocodiles ________.
A. everywhere B. in hot place
C. Africa and America D. Australia
37. How are the crocodile’s teeth cleaned
A. The crocodile bird helps them to do it.
B A special fish cleans them.
C. Using its tongue.
D. Clean water.
38. Crocodiles’ eggs are often hidden under ________.
A. the tree B. shells C. leaves and sand D. water
39. Which sentence is wrong
A. Crocodile can see things all around it.
B. Baby crocodiles can help themselves to break their way out of the shells.
C. Crocodiles can’t move its tongue up and down.
D. A careless man may be seized by crocodile.
40. The crocodile does with its food ________.
A. above the water B. by his weapon C. under shells D. under water
C
It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multifamily house in Detroit. Every night after supper, we'd lie on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the TV screen.
But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week and write a report on what you read.”
We moaned (不满，发牢骚) and complained about how unfair it was. Besides we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I'll drive you to the library.”
So pretty soon there were these two peevish (坏脾气的) boys in her Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library.
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers (河狸). For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.
It didn't dawn on (明白) me at the time,but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip (快速翻动) of a page.
Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary from my other world. Along the way a funny thing happened:I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.
Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery (儿童神经外科). Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey ends up to this position, but I know when the journey began.
41. We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ________.
A. the author did worse in school than his brother
B. the author was old enough to worry about life
C. the author spent much time watching TV after school
D. the author lived a poor and miserable life
42. How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first
A. They were afraid. B. They were unwilling.
C. They were impatient. D. They were eager to go.
43. The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A. he began to see something in his mind
B. he could visualize what he read in his mind
C. he could go back to read the books again
D. he realized that books offered him new experience
44. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Oldsmobile was a popular TV program
B. Chip the Dam Builder was a book about beavers' virtue visit to a river
C. the author made improvements in his study after taking much reading
D. the teachers found the author became funny
45. Readers may find this story inspiring because ________.
A. Mom makes efforts to encourage her children to become something
B. Mom does not allow watching TV and buys books for her children's development
C. the children are lost in books and never watch TV
D. the children focus on their study to become famous

“A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE,” is how Sam Schneider, a manager of Homestead, a new company that provides money to build granny flats, describes the permit process (许可流程) in California. Yet, sitting in his office in Los Angeles, he agrees that the paperwork is getting easier. Granny flats — or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (附属居住单元), as Americans call them — have taken off in California and cities around the American West as house prices have risen.
An ADU is a flat built in the same place as a single-family home. Owners rent them for money, or house family in them. About 180 cities in California passed ADU laws between 2017 and 2020. Los Angeles gave permits for nearly 6,700 units in 2019, up from about 4,100 in 2018. Seattle passed some 500 in 2020 and 800 in 2021. Tobias Peter of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) views ADUs as one example of “light-touch density (密度)”, which also includes making single-family homes into several units. Such changes may become more common in California thanks to a law passed last year which avoided single-family zoning (将……分区)
Things are moving more slowly in cities with strict zoning conditions. Denver allowed just two granny flats in 2010 and 71 in 2019. Many single-family homeowners in Colorado’s capital who want to build an ADU must apply in person to have their place rezoned, which can take months. Permits and building can also be costly and confusing. That is where companies like Homestead come in. As interest in ADUs grows, so does the number of companies wanting to build them.
High-density developments are also greener than single-family ones thanks to reduced heating and cooling costs, and shorter commutes (通勤). Adding units to areas near cities allows more people to live close to public bus stops and the places where they would work, reducing air pollution.
Granny flats alone will not solve California’s housing crunch, but their popularity is a good sign. “If you create enough housing supplies (供应量),” says Mr Schneider, Los Angeles and San Francisco will “become places where people can actually live, and not places where people can only leave.”
46. What can be inferred about the ADUs from the first paragraph
A. Sam Schneider’s granny signed her flat to him.
B. Homestead is no good at preparing the paperwork.
C. The paperwork was more difficult in the past than it is now.
D. More and more Americans move to the American West to avoid increasing house prices.
47. How does the writer mainly develop the second paragraph
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By using an expert’s words. D. By explaining the reason and the result.
48. Why are there a growing number of companies dealing in ADUs
A. Because it is not easy to get permits or build an ADU.
B. Because they meet the needs of people who want an ADU.
C. Because some single-family homeowners don’t know how to apply for an ADU.
D. Because it takes experienced companies less time and money to build an ADU.
49. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The advantages of ADUs. B. ADUs’ development.
C. A single family’s living costs. D. Cities’ environmental problems.
50. Which of the following best explains the underlined part “housing crunch” in the last paragraph
A. There are no empty houses. B. There are not enough houses.
C. There are only newly-built houses. D. There are only houses in the downtown are.

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class who was picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, basketball anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one who was always made fun of in school PE classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength (力量). At the age of 18, he won his first long-distance race (长跑比赛).
The following year he came across John Ridgway. He was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure (探险) in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway’s adventures. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could read about the North Pole explorers and adventures, and then decided this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier (滑雪者), Saunders started his first long-distance adventure towards the North Pole. It took him a lot of hard work. He experienced low temperatures, ran into a white bear and challenged his spirit and body, pulling his sled (雪撬) up and over rocky ice.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change. Next October, Saunders, 27, will head south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.
