You may know about “junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?
Recently, a British survey found that electronic (电子) products in teenagers bedrooms are affecting (影响) their sleep.
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that 30% of them got just 4 to 7 hours sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.
“This is very worrying.” said Dr Chris Idzikowski, a British expert, “We call it ‘junk sleep’, It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don’t get good rest, you don’t perform well in school the next day.”
The survey found that 40% of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, MP4 or TV in their bedroom. And many of them have all three.
51. This passage is mainly about______.

55. Which of the following is the best solution to the problem?

I spent my summer vacation in Beijing and I experienced many things. However, what impressed me most was my uncle’s mandarin (普通话) learning. I was amazed that he spoke mandarin so clumsily after having worked in Beijing for almost 20 years. I could remember he had taught me and his daughter to speak mandarin during our childhood. Now it was our turn to teach him. What a strange feeling!
He was learning mandarin as hard as I ever did. Later I understood why his mandarin was bad. As a retired (退休的) soldier, he just paid more attention to his fellow soldiers than to his family and business (生意). But my aunt never complained about anything.
In my opinion, language is used for exchanging ideas with others, while my uncle used to fail to it. Perhaps he was willing to offer a chance to communicate with his children. I knew only a little about him before, but after having stayed at his home for a whole summer vacation, I found him a really great man. Learning mandarin in one’s forties was a kind of greatness.
As a father, he may not care too much about the children’s daily life. But if his words and behavior can help him become the children’s spiritual (精神上的) leader, that’s enough. I think my uncle has succeeded in doing this.
56. The underlined word “clumsily” means ______.
A. 不清楚地 B. 地道地 C. 笨拙地 D. 流利地
57. It was the fact that ______ that made the writer feel strange.
A. he taught his uncle mandarin B. his uncle wasn’t good at mandarin
C. his uncle is a retired soldier D. his aunt never complain
58. From the second paragraph, we can know ______.
A. the writer’s aunt is a businesswoman
B. the writer’s uncle works hard at his business
C. the writer’s aunt is a woman who has few words
D. the writer’s uncle cares about his fellow soldiers
59. What did the writer think was the reason for his uncle’s learning mandarin?
A. He wanted to show he wasn’t old. B. He wanted to teach his friends mandarin.
C. He wanted to get closer to his family members. D. He wanted to do more business.
60. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer doesn’t think his uncle is a good father.
B. The writer speaks mandarin better than his uncle.
C. The writer’s uncle isn’t successful in his business.
D. There are three members in the writer’s uncle’s family.

五、任务型阅读（10分）
If you go to an American middle school on a Wednesday morning, you will hear kids talking about the American Idol (美国偶像) show the night before. Some have called it the most influential (有影响力的) show in the history of television.
American Idol has been extremely (极其) successful in the country since 2002. The show has been number one for six years! The most popular episode (剧集) had nearly 38 million viewers. But why is the show so popular?
The idea of the show is that common (普通的) people can get a chance to show their singing talents (天赋) to the world and become an “American Idol”, a famous pop star. (63)Anyone in the USA can have a try—a chance of becoming world famous.
In fact, common people are the only ones who are allowed on the show. If you’re a professional singer, you can’t be an American Idol. The winners are usually common people from small towns—people who sang in churches or bars but had bigger dreams.
(64)The winners of the contest don’t get a prize of money. But they get to record an album. Famous stars such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood gained their fame (名声) from winning the show. So, it seems that the contest really works.
The idea that anyone can be a super star attracts people to this program. All those hours of practicing in front of the mirror could lead to fame and fortune (财富). Even you could be the next “American Idol”.
任务（一）：根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
61. How long has the American Idol show been number one?
_________________________________________________________________________
62. What attracts people to this program?
_________________________________________________________________________
任务（二）：把短文中划线的句子(63)翻译成汉语。
63. ________________________________________________________________________
64. 把短文中划线的句子(64)合成一个简单句，意思不变。每空一词。
The winners of the contest get to record an album ________ ________ getting a prize of money.
任务（三）：请给短文拟一个恰当的标题。
65. ________________________________________________________________________
六、综合填空（10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容用方框内所给词语的适当形式填空，使短文语义完整。(请你一定要注意词语的形式变化！)
memorize, interests, something, how, increase, mean, good, enough, help, needn’t
When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very 66.______. When you read, you can not only learn new words, but also learn 67.______ to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example of writing.
Good reading tips:
Try to read at the right level. Read 68.______ that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it’s not interesting.

Instead, try to guess their 71.______ as you read: mark them with a pen. When you finish reading, look them up in a dictionary and write them down in your own vocabulary book. Then try to 72.______ them.
Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is 73.______ than two hours every Sunday.

In your schoolbag, you may have a pencil, some pens, a ruler and some books. None of these things grow in the fields. They are all made in factories.

There have been many thousands of inventions, large and small, in the human history. Some of these inventions have changed the world, such as paper, the radio, the telephone and the computer, and we know the inventors. But we have forgotten most of the inventors, for example, the inventors of the clock and lock. There have been thousands of inventors, and we should say “Thank you” to them, for their clever ideas. Will you be one of them when you grow up?
