We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if you’re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help.
Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light emitted from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analyzed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a National Sleep Foundation poll found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep disruption than electronics that aren’t interactive.
Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening.
Here’s another groundbreaking idea: You could get a real alarm clock. After reviewing them at Reviewed, we recommend the Sharp Dream Caster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you.
But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doom-scrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea.
Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises and soundscapes to help you get to sleep.
24.What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Set aside. B.Pick up. C.Show off. D.Turn to.
25.What may be caused by the suppression of melatonin
A.Relaxing yourself before bedtime.
B.Sleeping less than you normally would.
C.Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily.
D.Reducing the pressure from screen use.
26.Why is the Sharp Dream Caster recommended
A.It is sold at a lower price. B.It can predict a heavy rain.
C.It is controlled by cellphone. D.It helps put your eyes together.
27.What is suggested for better sleep according to paragraph 5
A.Making the best of the eco-friendly products.
B.Making a change according to circumstances.
C.Establishing a bedtime routine without electronics.
D.Keeping a consistent bedtime and wake-up time.
Six-year-old Kendall Rae Johnson has been in love with gardening all her life. Now, the Georgia native is the state’s youngest certified farmer. Taught by her grandmother, Kendall started her first garden on a backyard, and by her fourth birthday, she had a backyard garden filled with carrots, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and strawberries. Her green thumb just didn’t extend in the walls of her garden. She started a monthly gardening club with subscription food boxes, to help spread awareness about farming among her peers.
Kendall’s journey to becoming a certified farmer didn’t happen overnight. First, she had to get a business unit at the state and federal levels. Then she joined various farming organizations associated with Georgia’s Department of Agriculture and Georgia Farm Bureau. This made her qualified to be certified.
The ambitious grower was to apply for scholarships so she can purchase her own land and run the business, which she can legally do now that she is certified. She also hopes to raise $10,000 for an outdoor agricultural science lab to begin composting. Kendall’s mother told ABC News her daughter was “the example of young entrepreneurship and the future of Black farmers.”
Black farmers are few and far between. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, of the farmers in the United States, less than 2% are black. However, Black people do have a strong history in farming. In 1920 there were nearly a million black farmers in the United States: there are just 45,000 now. But Kendall can help change that. Kendall regularly attends farming conferences and Agriculture summits and is committed to making a difference in the field. Throughout it all, she is still a kid and says her main goal is to make new friends. But along the way she also hopes to motivate those friends to grow an interest in farming.
28.What can we learn about Kendall’s gardening club
A.It took her over a month to prepare. B.It made her the youngest certified farmer.
C.It was created as a gift for her fourth birthday. D.It is aimed at teaching other kids about farming.
29.What does the author intend to convey in paragraph 2
A.Getting certified as a farmer is not easy. B.Kendall is the youngest farmer in the USA.
C.The journey to Kendall’s garden is difficult. D.Kendall is popular among farming organizations.
30.What enables Kendall to buy land for her business
A.Asking for scholarships. B.Raising money by delivering speeches.
C.Earning money through her science lab. D.Selling her own produce from her garden.
31.What is Kendall’s wish according to the last paragraph
A.To educate the black farmers. B.To organize more farming meetings.
C.To teach other kids to plant vegetables. D.To make more friends and inspire them.
The English language is different from any other language. Yet English words do not stay the same. Our language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use,or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. “Tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and “pajamas (睡衣)” from India. The word “coffee” came from Turkey, and “tea” came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too.
New words are also made by adding two words together. “Strawberry”, “postman”, and “grandfather” are words made up of two parts.
Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. “Smog” was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words “smoke” and “fog”.
The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named “Sandwich”. Scotch tape, band-aid, and jello (果冻) were names made up by the companies that first made the products.
32.Which word of following is a combination by adding two words together
A.Pajamas B.Postman C.Photo D.Jello
33.Why is the English language always changing
A.People get tired of using the same words.
B.People use words for movies and TV plays.
C.There are too many books and magazines.
D.People need words for new inventions and ideas.
34.What can we know from the passage
A.All new words are borrowed. B.Words never come from company names.
C.Languages don't stay the same. D.Old words don't change their meanings.
35.Which of the following may be the best title of the passage
A.A changing language B.English — a beautiful language
C.Names can become words D.Different languages

I was so sorry for Carl, and I wanted to do something for him.
Another friend told me that Carl loved pandas. I remembered that my brother had recently taught me how to make a toy panda. Right then, I decided to make Carl a toy panda for luck and hope. I also made a card for Carl. I told him that he always had a place in my heart and that I hoped that he would recover quickly. The next day after school, I gave the toy panda and the card to my teacher, for she was going to visit Carl at the hospital. She was surprised and thanked me on behalf of (代表) Carl’s family.

【原文】How many words are there in the English dictionary If you had asked that question in 1806, the answer would have been 28,000. In 1882, the answer would have been 70,000. Today the question is difficult to answer because there are many kinds of dictionaries! The number of words depends on how complete the dictionary is. A complete and exhaustive English dictionary today would probably contain around 650,000 words. Don’t worry, though. Few people use more than 60,000 words. A recent college edition of Webster’s New World Dictionary contains more than 142,000 words. In this dictionary the letter S has more words than any other letters. It occupies over 200 pages. The second highest letter is C with over 167 pages. The lowest is X with only one and a half pages containing exactly 81 words.
1. How many words would a complete English dictionary probably contain
2. How many words does an ordinary person usually use

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现,睡前使用电子产品,蓝光会抑制人体褪黑素的合成。褪黑素被抑制会让人迟迟无法入睡,从而减少正常睡眠时间,并给出一些减少睡前使用电子产品的建议。
24.词义猜测题。根据前文“We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. (我们知道在上床睡觉前把手机放下是很困难的。)”提到上床睡觉前放下手机对于人们来说是不容易做到的,同时结合该句语境可推知,手机对睡眠是有影响的。因此,想改善睡眠,提高睡眠质量应是将手机放下,即划线单词所在句表达的含义。由此推知,短语“ditch your phone”应是“放下手机”含义,那么“ditch”应是“放下,搁置在一边”含义。故选A项。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段“Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. (晚上释放褪黑素可以帮助你在睡前放松。)”可知,夜间褪黑素的产生有利于人的睡眠,由此可推断出,褪黑素受到抑制会影响人的睡眠,从而使得人们的睡眠时间少于平时的睡眠时间。故选B项。
26.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. (这款闹钟不仅可以很容易地设置起床时间,还能发出白噪音和雨声来帮助你入睡,还有很多音量设置,让你选择最适合自己的。)”可知,“the Sharp Dream Caster”可轻松设置起床时间,可有白噪音和雨声助眠功能,且可设置适合自己的音量,因此可知,推荐它是因为它有助于人的睡眠。故选D项。
27.推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. (更进一步,避免使用电子设备。你可以试着读一本书(纸做的),洗个澡或者喝杯洋甘菊茶。)”及后面所列举的事例可知,睡觉之前避免使用电子产品,可以看纸质书或洗个澡或喝杯洋甘菊茶,这些有助于睡眠。由此可推知,为了更好的睡眠,可以建立一个没有电子设备的就寝程序。故选C项。

This made her qualified to be certified.(Kendall成为一名认证农民的旅程并不是一夜之间发生的。首先,她必须在州和联邦一级找到一个业务部门。然后,她加入了与乔治亚州农业部和乔治亚州农业局有关的各种农业组织。这使她有资格获得认证)”可推知,作者在第二段中想表达获得农民资格证不容易。故选A。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The ambitious grower was to apply for scholarships so she can purchase her own land and run the business, which she can legally do now that she is certified.(这位雄心勃勃的种植者打算申请奖学金,这样她就可以购买自己的土地并经营生意,现在她获得了认证,这是合法的)”可知,申请奖学金使Kendall能够为她的企业购买土地。故选A。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Throughout it all, she is still a kid and says her main goal is to make new friends. But along the way she also hopes to motivate those friends to grow an interest in farming.(自始至终,她都还是个孩子,她说自己的主要目标是结交新朋友。但在这个过程中,她也希望激励这些朋友对农业产生兴趣)”可知,Kendall的愿望是结交更多的朋友并激励他们。故选D。

67.Paragraph 1: Feeling excited and curious, I walked into the meeting room, following the teacher. Carl’s mom stood up and greeted me with a warm hug. Her eyes were red from crying, but she managed a small smile as she thanked me for the thoughtful gifts I had sent to Carl. She told me how much the toy panda and the card had lifted his spirits during his hospital stay. I felt a surge of emotion, knowing that my small gestures had made a difference to him.
Paragraph 2: One morning about twenty days later, entering the classroom, I found Carl looking at me with a big smile on his seat. My heart skipped a beat with joy and relief. Carl was back, and it seemed that a part of our class was finally complete. He was thinner, but his smile was as bright as ever. We exchanged a long, tight hug, and he showed me the well-loved toy panda he had brought back with him. The class gathered around, and there was a palpable sense of happiness and unity. It was a moment none of us would forget.
