A
(2016·河南省洛阳市统一考试)Some
people
like
modern
art,
while
others
say
that
is
rubbish.But
a
cleaner
who
works
in
the
Tate
Gallery
in
London
isn't
able
to
tell
the
difference.The
woman,
whose
name
isn't
known,
mistook
a
work
of
art
by
the
German
painter
Gustav
Metzger
for
a
bag
of
rubbish,
and
threw
it
out
with
other
bags.
The
plastic
bag,
which
contained
pieces
of
paper
and
cardboard,
was
later
recovered
outside
the
gallery,
but
the
artist
thought
that
it
was
too
damaged
to
be
put
on
show
again.
78 year old
Mr
Metzger
explained
that
the
exhibit,
which
he
said
was
a
copy
of
a
similar
work
he
had
created
in
1960,
was
meant
to
show
that
all
art
is
temporary
and
“finite
(有限的)”．
Embarrassed
officials
at
the
museum
said
that
they
had
had
to
call
a
meeting
with
cleaners
to
explain
which
things
should
not
be
touched.
They
would
not
say
whether
Mr
Metzger
would
be
paid
any
compensation
for
the
incident.
However,
to
make
absolutely
sure
the
same
thing
would
not
happen
again,
they
decided
to
cover
Mr
Metzger's
work
every
evening
with
a
coloured
cloth.
In
this
way
the
cleaners
arriving
after
the
gallery
had
been
closed
to
the
general
public
would
realize
they
should
not
touch
it.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
museum
cleaners
have
had
trouble
distinguishing
exhibits
from
rubbish.
In
2001,
in
another
London
gallery,
a
cleaner
threw
away
a
work
by
the
well known
British
artist
Damien
Hirst.
It
was
an
arrangement
of
empty
beer
bottles,
coffee
cups,
and
overflowing
ashtrays,
which
were
meant
to
indicate
the
chaos
in
the
life
of
an
artist.
However,
cleaners
don't
always
throw
things
away
—
sometimes
they
clean
them!
This
was
the
case
with
a
dirty
bath,
which
was
on
show
in
a
gallery
in
Germany.
Without
asking
what
the
bath
was
doing
in
the
gallery,
the
cleaners
simply
scrubbed
it
clean.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。而有些人喜欢现代艺术，有些人不喜欢。本文介绍了在美术馆工作的清洁工错误地将现代艺术作品当成垃圾扔掉或误认为是很脏而擦干净的事。

sure
the

coloured
cloth.”可知，他们这样做的目的是避免清洁工再次犯同样的错误，即C项正确。

B
(2016·潍坊市第一中学高三上学期10月月考)Are
you
sometimes
a
little
tired
and
sleepy
in
the
early
afternoon
Many
people
feel
this
way
after
lunch.
They
may
think
that
eating
lunch
is
the
cause
of
the
sleepiness.
Or,
in
summer,
they
may
think
it
is
the
heat.
However,
the
real
reason
lies
inside
their
bodies.
At
that
time
—
about
eight
hours
after
you
wake
up
—
your
body
temperature
goes
down.
This
is
what
makes
you
slow
down
and
feel
sleepy.
Scientists
have
tested
sleep
habits
in
experiments
where
there
was
no
night
or
day.
The
people
in
these
experiments
almost
always
followed
a
similar
sleeping
pattern.
They
slept
for
one
long
period
and
then
for
one
short
period
about
eight
hours
later.
In
many
parts
of
the
world,
people
take
naps
(小睡)
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
This
is
especially
true
in
warmer
climates,
where
the
heat
makes
work
difficult
in
the
early
afternoon.
Researchers
are
now
saying
that
naps
are
good
for
everyone
in
any
climate.
A
daily
nap
gives
one
a
more
rested
body
and
mind
and
therefore
is
good
for
health
in
general.
In
countries
where
naps
are
traditional,
people
often
suffer
less
from
problems
such
as
heart
disease.
Many
working
people,
unfortunately,
have
no
time
to
take
naps.
Though
doctors
may
advise
taking
naps,
employers
don't
follow
it!
If
you
do
have
the
chance,
however,
here
are
a
few
tips
about
making
the
most
of
your
nap.
Remember
that
the
best
time
to
take
a
nap
is
about
eight
hours
after
you
get
up.
A
short
sleep
too
late
in
the
day
may
only
make
you
feel
more
tired
and
sleepy
afterward.
This
can
also
happen
if
you
sleep
for
too
long.
If
you
do
not
have
enough
time,
try
a
short
nap
—
even
ten
minutes
of
sleep
can
be
helpful.
语篇解读：本文介绍了午休对身体有很大的好处。
5．Why
do
you
sometimes
feel
sleepy
in
the
early
afternoon
A．Because
you
eat
too
much
for
lunch.
B．Because
it's
hot
in
summer.
C．Because
your
body
temperature
goes
down
at
that
time.
D．Because
you
didn't
have
a
good
sleep
last
night.
解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However,
the
real
reason
lies
inside
their
bodies.
At
that
time
—
about
eight
hours
after
you
wake
up
—
your
body
temperature
goes
down.”
可知选C。
6．What
can
we
learn
about
“naps”
according
to
the
last
paragraph
A．All
the
people
in
warmer
climates
take
naps
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
B．Doctors
need
to
take
naps
while
employers
don't.
C．If
you
take
naps
every
day,
you'll
never
suffer
from
heart
disease.
D．Taking
naps
regularly
is
beneficial
to
people's
health.
解析：选D　推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段特别是“A
daily
nap
gives
one
a
more
rested
body
and
mind
and
therefore
is
good
for
health
in
general.”可知D项正确。根据“Many
working
people,
unfortunately,
have
no
time
to
take
naps.”可知A项错误；B项是对“Though
doctors
may
advise
taking
naps,
employers
don't
follow
it！”的曲解；C项说法太绝对，故应排除。
7．What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage
A．If
you
get
up
at
6：30
am,
you'd
better
take
a
nap
at
about
1：30
pm.
B．Taking
a
nap
whenever
you
want
will
do
good
to
your
health.
C．You
will
feel
less
sleepy
if
you
sleep
for
a
long
time.
D．You'll
feel
sleepy
at
regular
intervals.
解析：选D　推理判断题。由第二段的“Remember
that
the
best
time
to
take
a
nap
is
about
eight
hours
after
you
get
up.”可知A项错误；由文章最后一段的倒数第二、三句可知，午睡太长或太晚都会使人感到疲劳，故C项错误；午睡应有合适的时间，想睡就睡对身体无益，故B项错误；根据第一段的“At
that
time
—
about
eight
hours
...
slow
down
and
feel
sleepy.”
可知到某个时候通常会感到困倦，故D项正确。
8．What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
text
A．Just
for
a
Rest
B．All
for
a
Nap
C．A
Special
Sleep
Pattern
D．Taking
Naps
in
Warmer
Climates
解析：选B　标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了午休对身体有很大的好处，因此建议大家如果有可能的话，都养成午休的习惯。故选B。
