（23-24高一下·江苏扬州·期中）The Best Mountain Bike Trails (小径) in the USThe Tahoe Rim Trail

（21-22高一下·江苏南京·期中）It’s normal to wake briefly during the night. 1 But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.
Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. 62
2 If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization (想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.
Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. 3 What’s more, a light snack might relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day.
4 If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.
A．Put off worries and troubles.
B．Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.
C．In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it.
D．Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night.
E．You should also be much more productive and creative after a good night’s rest.
F．Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.
G．A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.

（21-22高一下·江苏南京·期中）It’s normal to wake briefly during the night. 1 But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.
Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. 62
2 If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization (想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.
Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. 3 What’s more, a light snack might relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day.
4 If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.
A．Put off worries and troubles.
B．Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.
C．In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it.
D．Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night.
E．You should also be much more productive and creative after a good night’s rest.
F．Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.
G．A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.
【答案】1．C 2．G 3．B 4．F 5．A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了几个解决夜里醒来后难以再入睡的小窍门。
1．由下文“But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.(但是，如果你在晚上醒来时难以入睡，以下提示可能会有所帮助。)”可知，这里主要介绍几个解决夜里醒来后难以再入睡的小窍门，而C项In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it.(事实上，一个好的睡眠者甚至不会记得它。)符合句意，其中it代指上文wake briefly during the night，而a good sleeper 与下文having trouble falling back asleep形成对比，所以C项有承上启下作用。故选C项。
2．由上文“Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake.(别胡思乱想。恢复睡眠的关键是继续为睡眠做好准备，所以要以放松的姿势躺在床上。尽管这可能很难，但尽量不要因为你醒着而感到压力，因为这种压力和焦虑会促使你的身体保持清醒。)”可知，这里主要讲睡觉时别胡思乱想，而G项A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.(一个别胡思乱想的好方法是专注于你身体的感觉。)符合语境，其中stay out of your head与段首呼应。故选G项。
3．由下文“If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization (想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.(如果你发现很难入睡，可以尝试一种放松技巧，如可视化或深呼吸，这甚至可以在不起床的情况下完成。提醒自己，尽管它们不能代替睡眠，但休息和放松仍然有助于提神醒脑。)”可知，这里主要讲通过放松的方式而不是睡眠的方式来提神醒脑，所以B项Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.(把放松作为你的目标，而不是睡觉。)符合语境，对下文有总括作用。故选B项。
4．由上文“Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. (做一项安静、无刺激的活动。如果你醒着的时间超过15分钟，试着起床做一些安静、无刺激的活动，比如看书。把灯调暗，以免以为该起床了。)”可知，这里主要讲如果睡不着，可以做一项安静、无刺激的活动，而F项Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.(还要避免使用任何类型的屏幕——电脑、电视、手机、iPad。)符合语境，其中avoid screens 与上文 Keep the lights dim对应，本句也与段首non-stimulating activity对应，有承上作用。故选F项。
5．由下文“If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.(如果你在晚上醒来时对某事感到焦虑，请在纸上写下简短的笔记，并将担忧推迟到第二天，当你恢复健康时，它会更容易解决。)”可知，这里主要讲把担忧的事情写下，推迟到第二天解决，而A项Put off worries and troubles.(推迟忧虑和烦恼。)符合语境，对下文由总括作用，其中Put off worries 与下文delay worrying about it until the next day对应。故选A项。
