【歌曲译文】
随心而行
今夜山林已被大雪覆盖
无法进入
这样与世隔绝的王国
我才像是个女王
大风呼啸貌似正孕育着风暴 再也藏不住, 天知道我曾多么努力
别让别人知道, 别让别人看到
你是个好姑娘, 你必须一直是
要隐藏, 不要动真情, 不要让别人知道
但是, 现在他们知道了
随心而行, 随心而行
反正再也无法隐藏 随心而行, 随心而行
转过身关上门
我不在乎闲言碎语
让风暴怒吼吧
严寒无法再侵扰我
可笑的是, 距离使一切变得渺小 曾经控制我的恐惧再也
无法使我困扰
是时候展现真正的我了
突破我的极限
不再被规则束缚
我是自由的
随心而行, 随心而行【话题点拨】

M: We all know that exercise is good for us, but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.
W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.
M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much. W: Don’t be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.
M: Mm, interesting. W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well too, lowering their death risk by 14%. M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that like what I probably do. Does that help?
W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.

The doctor, Gray and I ran back into the house. We saw Hunter lying still, after a knock on the head. Joyce lay dead, shot through the head; and the squire was half-carrying the wounded captain. The pirates did not return, and we had time to take care of the wounded. Out of the eight men who fell in the fight, only three still breathed. One pirate, Hunter, and Captain Smollett; and of these, the first two were nearly dead. The pirate died first, then Hunter only a few hours later. The captain’s wounds were bad but not dangerous. The doctor told him he must not walk or move his arm, and to speak only when it was necessary. After dinner, the squire and the doctor sat by the captain’s side and talked. Then, a little past noon, the doctor took his hat, his pistols and a sword, put the map in his pocket, and walked off quickly through the trees. I guessed he was going to see Ben Gunn, and thought the doctor was lucky to be walking in the cool shadows of the wood. The house was hot and smelt of blood, and there were dead bodies lying all around. Suddenly, I wanted to get away from that place—and I had an idea! I would go and look for Ben Gunn’s boat! Perhaps we would need it some time. That was my excuse to myself, although I knew it was wrong of me to leave only two unwounded men to guard the stockade. It was also wrong of me to leave secretly, but that is what I did. I filled my pockets with bread, then took two pistols and the powder for them. When Gray and Mr Trelawney were helping the captain, I climbed quickly out of the stockade and ran into the trees. I made my way towards the east coast. It was late in the afternoon, but still warm. Soon cool air began to reach me, and suddenly there was the sea. I walked along the edge, then up to a small sand-covered hill. Ben Gunn had told me his boat was hidden near the white rock, and I found that rock farther along the beach. The little boat was hidden in the grass—a small, rough thing, made of wood and goat-skins. I knew I should go back to the stockade now, but an idea came to me and I sat down to wait for darkness. As the last of the day disappeared, there were two lights in the blackness. One came from a great fire on the shore where the pirates sat singing and drinking; the other came from the Hispaniola out at sea. I put the small boat on my shoulders and carried it to the edge of the water, then I put it in the sea. It was a very safe boat, but difficult to control. It turned every way except the one I wanted to go! The sea carried me out to the Hispaniola. I knew if I cut the anchor rope at the wrong moment, the Hispaniola would make a sudden move out to sea, and my boat might be knocked out of the water. So I took my knife and cut almost through the rope, then waited, listening to the sound of two loud voices coming from the cabin. Both men sounded drunk, and both were angry. At last the wind turned the ship towards me and now I cut all the way through the rope. As fast as I could, I pushed my little boat along the side of the ship, desperate to get away before the ship crashed into me. Just as I gave the final push, my hand found a rope over the end of the ship. I don’t know why I took hold of the rope, but I did. I pulled my boat near to the ship, then stood up to see through the cabin window. I had wondered why the two men weren’t on deck, but one look through the window gave me my answer. It was Israel Hands and the man in the red cap, now locked in battle, each with a hand round the other’s neck. I dropped down in the boat again, looking over my shoulder at the shore. And there, right behind me, was the pirate’s fire on the beach! Then the wind, with sudden violence, turned the Hispaniola, and my little boat with it, and we were both sailing fast into the open sea. There were sudden shouts and the sound of hurrying feet as the two men ran on deck. I lay down in my boat, sure that when we reached the rough, open water, that would be the end for me. I lay there for many hours, but at last I fell asleep, and in my small, helpless boat, dreamed of home and the Admiral Benbow. 课件2张PPT。Unit 3 Diverse Cultures 温馨提示：

(2019·石家庄高一检测)
Of course, she wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years, my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.
Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin, ”she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother. ”So, I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eyes Aunt Fannie’s success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了芬妮姨妈和她的蓝莓酱秘方, 说明金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有, 唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些幸福日子以及美好回忆才会让我们变得真正富有。

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a cup of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.
Robots make great explorers on planets, the moon, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.
Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.
【文章大意】本文讲述了现代机器人可能不如R2D2或Lost in Space中的机器人那么有趣, 但机器人对于太空探索非常重要。
32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Development of Robots
B. The Discovery of Space Exploration

D. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。阅读全文, 本文讲述了现代机器人可能不如R2D2或Lost in Space中的机器人那么有趣, 但机器人对于太空探索非常重要。故选D。
33. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
B. It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段 The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. 可知, 机器人的使用使得太空探索的成本远低于人类进行工作所需的成本。A选项错误。故选A。
34. The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “______”. ?
A. remain B. bear C. defeat D. develop
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. 这些表面上的温度太热或太冷, 任何人都无法承受, 可知withstand意为“忍受”。故选B。
35. What is the writer’s attitude in this passage?
A. Negative. B. Persuasive.
C. Subjective. D. Objective.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据全文内容, 本文讲述了现代机器人可能不如R2D2或Lost in Space中的机器人那么有趣, 但机器人对于太空探索非常重要。作者的态度是客观的, 故选D。

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom. “I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom! ”she cried. “Help! ”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hoped it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse, thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. ?

【参考范文】
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. Jane had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night. At that moment, she felt a little sad, but she wasn’t so frightened. She reminded herself constantly, “Tom must have called for those helicopters. Maybe he was in one of them and will return soon! I have to guide him tomorrow. ”She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream, hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter. She walked and walked, exhausted but full of hope. Suddenly, she spotted a huge flat rock. She managed to climb onto it and waited with patience. The helicopter appeared again. The nearer it got, the more she waved the yellow blouse. To her great joy, the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly. Tom jumped off the helicopter and rushed towards Jane. They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.

Later in the 18th century some British people 10. ________(take) to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries. ?
【文章大意】本文主要讲述了英语随着时间的推移而改变的原因。
1. 【解析】when。 考查状语从句。根据句子结构可知该填状语从句的从属连词, 再根据句意“那么, 为什么英语随着时间的推移而改变呢? 实际上当文化与文化之间发生碰撞和交流时, 所有的语言都会变化和发展。”可知填时间状语从句的连词when“当……的时候”符合语境。故填when。
2. 【解析】spoken。考查非谓语动词。因为“______in England between about CE 450 and CE 1150 ”是修饰前面的名词English的, 作定语, 再因名词English和speak之间存在着被动关系, 即英语被说, 所以用过去分词短语作定语, 表被动。故填spoken。?
3. 【解析】than。考查比较级。根据空前的“more”和句意“比起我们现在说的英语它更多的是以德语为基础的”可知填than。
4. 【解析】gradually。考查副词。因在句中作状语, 所以该用副词。故填gradually。
5. 【解析】became。考查时态。因本句because从句中用的是一般过去时, 可知是发生在过去, 所以用一般过去时。故填became。
6. 【解析】who。考查定语从句。因“________ruled England”是修饰前面的代词those(那些人)的, 所以是定语从句。因先行词those是指人的词, 关系词在定语从句中作主语。故填who。?
7. 【解析】later。考查副词。根据空前的first, 可知后面该填later(后来)才符合上下文的逻辑关系。故填later。
8. 【解析】of。考查固定词组。make use of “利用”, 是固定搭配。故填of。
9. 【解析】settlers。考查名词。因作主语, 意为“殖民者”, 所以该用名词, 又因前面some可知是“一些殖民者”, 所以得用复数。故填settlers。
10. 【解析】were taken。考查被动语态。根据句意“后来在18世纪一些英国人也被带到澳大利亚”可知该用过去时的被动语态, 又因主语people是复数。故填were taken。

【参考范文】
Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I’m more than happy to hear that you will come to China next month. Now let me tell you something different you may meet here.
To start with, the weather here is totally different from that in your place. It hardly rains but whenever it does, it rains heavily. So you’d better bring a raincoat with you. Another big challenge is food. To be honest, the Chinese food differs from yours, so you have to try to get accustomed to it and learn how to use chopsticks. As for traffic, you can take a bus or subway to nearly anywhere you want to. More importantly, it’s cheap and convenient.
I’m looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Among the Americans who collect handmade crafts are the former President Clinton and Hillary R. Clinton. They have a small collection of clay pottery(陶器) objects. The Clintons once asked craft artists across the country to send them handmade objects to hang on the White House Christmas trees. Each artist was to send an angle made of wood, glass, clay, metal or fiber. Craft artists sent almost 800 objects, which were enough to hang on seven White House Christmas trees.
Handmade objects have always been part of American culture. Craft artists use many different kinds of materials and methods, yet common to all crafts is the creativity(创造性) of the artists that makes each object different and special.

How to Live a Happy Life
Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. 1 Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long-lasting happiness. ?
?Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body. 2 Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person. ?
? 3 Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症). On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement. ?
?Challenge yourself. 4 Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most. ?
?Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter. 5 ?
A. Life is always full of hope.
B. Spend time with friends and family.

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face. ” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass. ” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture. ”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries, ”a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
【文章大意】如今, 世界英语不单单受美式英语和英式英语的影响, 英语词汇和汉语语法的结合还导致了越来越多的“中国式英语”的出现。
1. What can we call Chinglish?
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
【解析】选C。 推理判断题。根据第二、三、四段所举的例子可以判断中国式英语是把英语词汇按照汉语语法表达出来的英语。
2. What does “smilence” most probably mean?
A. Saying nothing but to smile.
B. Smiling without being noticed.
C. Laughing at somebody.
D. Knowing little about speech.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段结尾“a combination by the English word smile and silence”可知答案为A项。
3. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish?
A. It can show the humour of Chinese.
B. It will attract more foreign tourists.
C. It helps him to learn Chinese well.
D. It seems part of Chinese culture.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第五段中Swire说话的内容可知, 他认为中国式英语是中国文化的一部分。
4. Why Chinglish is likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing?
A. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
D. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. ”可知答案为D项。
Ⅱ. 阅读填句
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot.
In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 1 Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. ?
From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2 Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country. ?
3 Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. 4 In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. ?
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. 5 ?
A. Both are correct depending on one’s point of view.
B. They never lose their shapes, colors or tastes.
C. This is why there is so much diversity within America.
D. In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E. Thus, one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”.
F. They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.
G. The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.
【文章大意】有的人把美国社会描述为“沙拉碗”, 有的人认为它是“大熔炉”。实际上, 美国的特点并非非此即彼, 而是在差异中存在统一。
1. 【解析】选B。根据设空处前面的a bowl of salad及本段最后一句, 并分析各个选项可知, 只有B项“它们从来不会失去它们的形状、颜色和味道”的描述与沙拉有关。They指代前句中的all the ingredients(所有的材料)。故选B项。
2. 【解析】选C。根据分析, 本段继续描述美国像“沙拉碗”, 前后为因果关系: “多个民族”融合, 但是“保持着各自的独特性”, 使得人们白天可能从事相似的工作, 但是下班后沿用各自民族的生活方式, 这就是美国“多样性”的原因。故选C项。
3. 【解析】选G。文章第一段提出“沙拉碗”和“大熔炉”两个理论。第二、三两段详细描述了“沙拉碗”理论。设空处位于第四段段首, 再根据本段中的one large pot及a melting pot可知选G项, 引出下文对第二个理论的描述。
4. 【解析】选F。本段最后三句围绕shared symbols(共享的符号)展开: 有许多“共享的符号”, 因而“它们”有助于不同民族的发展以便创造一个新的美国文化, 而在这样的文化中, 美国国旗和国歌这些符号有助于打破种族分裂的藩篱。F项中They指代前句中的shared symbols。故选F项。
5. 【解析】选D。本段用两句话总结全文: “美国将‘沙拉碗’和‘大熔炉’两大特点融合在了一起。‘换句话说’, 美国是一个‘多样性中存在统一’的国家”。D项中unity in diversity是本段第一句中a mixture of both的另一种说法。故选D项。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
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 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 do not allow 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.
【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲述了人们累了或者是在夏天的午后都会休息或睡觉, 小睡对于人们的身体是有好处的。

A. Because you eat too much for lunch.
B. Because it’s hot in summer.

【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据短文第一段However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. 可知人们会在下午早些时候感到昏昏欲睡是因为体温降低, 故选C。
2. 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 good to people’s health.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据文章第二段A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. 可知每天的小睡给予人们更好的休息, 并且对健康是有好处的, 故选D。
3. If you get up at 6: 30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A. About 12: 30 pm. B. About 1: 30 pm.
C. About 2: 30 pm. D. About 3: 30 pm.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章第一段At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. 可知在醒以后8个小时, 人体的温度下降, 人会犯困, 故6: 30起床, 8个小时以后就是下午2点30, 故C正确。
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. All for a Nap
B. Just for a Rest
C. A Special Sleep Pattern
D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
