27、When a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted time and want to begin school as soon as you probably can.
But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. They’re taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.
Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nationwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.
The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more than one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).
The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.
“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think it’s because you are lazy and opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”
Everyone follows a natural cycle of sleep and wakefulne ss. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and don’t feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. That’s two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.
“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.
The results could be positive, based on previous studies.
An early study at the UK’s Monkseaton High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.
The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results in 2018. It’s time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.
【1】According to the article, students who take part in the Oxford University project _________.
A. will start school one hour earlier
B. will no longer have to take GCSE exams
C. will perform better academically than those who don’t participate
D. will be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morning
【2】 The underlined phrase “out of sync”in Paragraph 5 probably means _____________ .
A. breaking the habit of doing something
B. getting used to doing something
C. having no idea of something
D. having trouble keeping up with something
【3】We can infer from the article that _______________ .
A. the Oxford University project is targeted at all British high schools
B. getting up late is a sign of laziness in the eyes of most British parents
C. children and adults have different natural cycles of sleep and wakefulness
D. there is still no scientific evidence that supports a late school start time
【4】 What is the author’s attitude toward the Oxford University project ?
A. Critical B. Optimistic
C. Doubtful D. Uninterested
【5】 What’s the best title of the article ?
A. Wake up late to excel
B. It’s never too late to learn
C. The later you get up, the better you’ll learn
D. An excuse to get up late

32、
书面表达
请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.
Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞会). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.
Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.
Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to— people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.
【写作内容】
1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。
2. 以约120个词就“How to deal with rejection”这一话题发表你的看法，内容包括：
(1) 讲述一次你被拒绝的经历； (2) 你当时的感受； (3) 你认为应该如何正确面对拒绝。
【写作要求】
作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。
【评分标准】
概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。
