A
(2016·衡水一中高考模拟)It
is
7
am
and
the
alarm
is
going
off.
You
know
you
have
to
be
out
of
bed
to
catch
the
bus.
But
the
urge
to
bury
yourself
in
the
bed
is
ever
so
strong.
Sounds
familiar
Why
is
it
that
teens
find
it
difficult
to
get
themselves
out
of
bed
in
time
every
morning
or
stay
sharp
and
focused
during
the
first
couple
of
hours
of
school
During
adolescence,
the
body
goes
through
many
changes
and
these
include
a
shift
in
sleep
patterns.
Researchers
from
MIT
have
been
tracking
the
body's
need
for
sleep
in
teenagers.
They
found
that
though
adolescents
need
as
much
as
9.5
hours
of
sleep
a
day,
they
get
to
bed
later
and
later
with
each
passing
year.
In
fact,
the
sleep
cycle
shifts
later
by
as
much
as
12
to
18
minutes
each
year
between
the
ages
of
10
and
20!
So
by
the
time
a
10 year old
who
sleeps
at
8
pm
grows
to
be
17
or
18,
his
body
naturally
wants
to
stay
up
till
10:30
pm
or
11
pm.
According
to
researchers,
this
is
because
of
a
hormone
called
melatonin
(褪黑激素)
that
is
secreted
(分泌)
by
the
pineal
gland
—
a
tiny
structure
deep
inside
the
brain.
Melatonin
regulates
the
body's
natural
day night
rhythms.
It
causes
a
person
to
become
sleepy
by
lowering
his
body's
core
temperature.
In
teens,
melatonin
is
secreted
much
later
in
the
evening
and
continues
to
increase
throughout
the
night.
This
makes
it
difficult
for
teens
to
fall
asleep
earlier
as
they
did
in
their
younger
years.
Likewise,
the
effect
of
melatonin
continues
until
much
later
in
the
morning,
making
it
hard
for
them
to
wake
up
early.
A
study
found
that
at
least
one
in
four
teens
is
tired
and
falls
asleep
in
school
at
least
once
a
week.
During
sleep,
important
body
functions
and
brain
activities
happen.
So
how
can
teenagers
get
their
sleep
enough
The
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
(AAP)
recommends
that
middle
and
high
schools
should
start
later
—
not
before
8:30
am.
This
should
give
teens
some
more
time
to
sleep
at
night.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。早睡才能早起,晚睡会导致早上赖床,睡觉周期的改变实际上受制于大脑中一种被称为褪黑激素的荷尔蒙。
1.From

if
you
sleep
late,
the
next
day
you
should
________.
A.stay

late
D.stay
up
late

3
refer
to

of
the
sleep
cycle.
C.The
pineal

is
secreted
much
later

time
C.they

a

in
the
daytime

later
in
the

and
continues
to
increase
throughout
the
night.”可知,孩子们睡觉晚是由褪黑激素分泌晚造成的,故A项正确。

C
(2016·石家庄市教学质量检测)Pilates,
yoga
and
the
running
machine
get
all
the
attention
when
it
comes
to
popular
ways
to
stay
healthy.
There
is,
however,
a
more
humble
exercise
that
might
not
be
so
attractive,
but
has
all
the
benefits
—
walking.
Certified
fitness
professional
Jolynn
Jaekel
explains,
“What
I
love
about
walking
is
that
anyone
can
do
it
at
any
age
and
any
fitness
level.
Plus,
it
is
good
for
your
heart,
your
head
and
your
wallet.”
A
recent
report
details
the
health
benefits
of
walking.
The
report
found
that
walking
regularly
to
fulfill
the
150
minutes
of
moderate
physical
exercise
every
week,
recommended
by
the
UK's
chief
medical
officer,
could
save
37,000
lives
each
year.
Scientists
at
the
Lawrence
Berkeley
National
Laboratory
in
California
found
that
quick
walking
reduces
the
risk
of
heart
disease
more
effectively
than
running.
They
observed
participants
aged
between
18
and
80
over
a
six year
period
and
found
that
walking
reduced
the
risk
of
heart
disease
by
9.3%,
while
running
reduced
it
by
4.5%.
And
there
is
even
more
good
news:
30
minutes
of
quick
walking
over
five
days
could
help
you
sleep
easily,
according
to
research
by
Oregon
State
University.
The
study
by
the
university
showed
that
walking
helped
participants
sleep
better
and
feel
more
alert
during
the
day.
The
sooner
you
get
started,
the
sooner
you'll
notice
the
differences
in
your
mind
and
body.
So,
go
out
for
your
30 minute
walk
in
a
nearby
park
or
green
space.
