21、Later School Start Helps Kids Get Zzz

Teenagers have been sleeping less. This is an issue all across the United States. Research from Harvard Medical School shows that having less sleep can make teens fat and cause some developmental problems. Because of the increasing use of devices like smartphones and computers, students today are staying up late. Many teens use them long after dark. “At night, I am on my phone and I just want to stay up. I often wake up so tired that I wish I could go back to sleep,” Hazel Ostrowski, a high school student, said.

To make matters worse, 93% of high schools and 83% of middle schools in the U.S. start before 8:30 a. m. That time goes against official health advice from American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科学会). Schools do not want late start times, because it will cause traffic problems. Parents also want older kids to come home early to watch younger kids in the afternoons.

But some studies suggest that students between the ages of 11 and 17 get enough sleep on school nights. Therefore, some researchers suggest starting school late.

Researchers are studying later school start times in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle School District (区) made a big time change in the fall of 2016. The change was for high schools and most middle schools. Before, the first bell rang at 7:50 a. m. After the change, classes began at 8:45 a. m.

The researchers worked with science teachers at two high schools in Seattle, and 178 teenagers took part in the study. They wore activity monitors to discover whether a later start to the school day would help them get more sleep. The researchers compared sleep habits (习惯) of these teens in spring 2016，before the change, to sleep habits of them from spring 2017, after later start times began.

What changed was wake-up time. Morning wake-up time changed from 6:24 a. m. to 7:08 a. m. Falling asleep changed only a bit. It went from 11 :27p. m. to 11:38 p. m.

Researchers noticed that there were fewer late students after the changes. The study also found the students got about 34 more minutes of sleep each night. Students also felt less sleepy in the daytime. Their grades improved as well. It seems a later start to school is helping students.

【1】In the first paragraph, the writer gives the example of Hazel to show________.

A．students wake up tired from sleeping too long

B．students want to stay up late to have a good time

C．students become much fatter for taking less exercise

D．students sleep less because of using smartphones long

【2】According to the study, the Seattle School District ________.

A．starts school at 8:30 in the morning

B．starts school 55 minutes later than usual

C．asks students to change their sleeping habits

D．asks parents to make sure their kids go to bed early

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Reasons for later school start.

B．Advantages of later school start.

C．Causes of less sleep in students.

D．Solutions to the problem of sleeping less.

23、Last month I went to Peru with my mom and dad. My mom’s company sent her there on business. It was great! We flew into Cusco. One weekend we took a train to visit Machu Picchu.

What is Machu Picchu? Well, it is the remains of an ancient Inca city. It is on the top of a mountain that overlooks the Urubamba River. It is more than 7,000 feet above sea level!

How did we get up that high? We could have hiked the Inca Trail (印加古道) for four days. Instead we decide to take the train. It runs right along the river. It takes only a few hours. Our guide was a man from the local area. Not only did he provide information about the area, but he worked as our interpreter. Some of the people of Peru speak Quechua, which of course we didn’t understand.

As we took the train, our guide pointed out unknown plants that grew in the rain forest. The plants which grew near the floor of the rain forest, were so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911. That was when Hiram Bingham, started his expedition (探险). We also learned about the animals. There are some dangerous snakes that live there. One bite can kill a person.

His trip was well worth it, in my opinion. Machu Picchu was so big and beautiful! There were terraces (梯田) cut into the sides of the mountain, and green was everywhere. We saw where the people lived and where they farmed. The trip is great!

【1】The writer went to Machu Picchu with her parents ________.

A．by plane

B．by boat

C．on foot

D．by train

C．口译译员

D．安保

【3】In which order did the writer do in her journey?

a. Arrived in Cusco.

b. Got up to Machu Picchu.

c. Learned about animals.

d. Got to know some plants.

A．a-b-c-d

B．a-b-d-c

C．b-c-d-a

D．b-d-a-c

【4】In the fourth paragraph Hiram Bingham is mentioned mainly to show ________.

A．how worth it was for Hiram Bingham to take the trip

B．how crazy he was to start the expedition in the rain forest

C．how difficult and dangerous it is to go through the rain forest

D．how knowledgeable the writer is to know about Hiram Bingham

24、   Have you ever heard of Liu Hong? She was among the world's top race walkers in the summer of 2015. 【1】 few people knew about her before. Liu used to be a runner when she was 15. She ran very well at that time. As a result, walking coach Sun Li'an thought highly 【2】 her for her ability and took her in as a student. In 2010, Liu won her second Asian Championship gold medal. Again in 2012, she won the World Race Walking Challenge event in Taicang in a personal best result of 1: 25: 46 【3】 break Asian 20km record of 1: 26: 22. However,【4】 is unfortunate that Liu placed fourth at the 2012 London Olympics. After that, Liu Hong trained much harder and won the record back in 2015.【5】 an excellent person she was! Why not learn from her to be more energetic?
