21、Contrary to popular belief, people who sleep six to seven hours a night live longer, and those who sleep eight hours or more die younger, according to the latest study ever conducted on the subject. The study, which has tracked the sleeping habits of 1.1 million Americans for six years, weakens the advice of many sleep doctors who have long recommended that people get eight or nine hours of sleep every night.
“There’s an old idea that people should sleep eight hours a night, which has no more scientific basis than the gold at the end of the rainbow,” said Daniel Kripke, professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at the University of California at San Diego who led the study published in a recent copy of JAMA Psychiatry.
The study was not designed to answer why sleeping longer may be harmful or whether people could extend their lifespan by sleeping less.
But Kripke said it was possible that people who slept longer tended to suffer from short-term absence of sleeping, a condition where weak breathing puts stress on the heart and brain. He also stressed that the need for sleep was similar to that for food, where getting less than people want may be better for them.
The study quickly caused warnings and criticism（批评）, with some sleep experts saying that the main problem of America’s sleep habits was deprivation（剥夺）, not sleeping too much.
“None of this says sleep kills people,” said Daniel Buysse, a psychiatrist at the university of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
“You should sleep as much as you need to feel awake, alert and attentive the next day,” Buysse added. “I’m much more concerned about people short-changing themselves on sleep than people sleeping too long.”
“Sleeplessness produces a variety of health consequences that were not measured in the study,” critics said.
【1】The traditional idea about sleeping is that ________.
A. people who sleep longer die younger
B. people who sleep less than six or seven hours live longer
C. people need to sleep less to keep healthy
D. people need to sleep eight or nine hours a night
【2】Which of the following statements does NOT agree with the study made by the American scientists according to the passage?
A. People can extend their lifespan by sleeping less.
B. Sleeping longer may be harmful to people’s health.
C. People should sleep as much as they need to keep awake, alert and attentive.
D. It is possible that people who sleep longer tend to suffer from short-term absence of sleeping.
【3】“The gold at the end of the rainbow” mentioned in the passage shows that ________.
A. sleeping is quite valuable in our lives
B. the traditional idea that people should sleep eight hours a night has no scientific basis at all.
C. sleeping longer is as valuable as the gold at the end of the rainbow.
D. the idea of long sleeping hours comes from the gold at he end of the rainbow.
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A. A new idea challenges the scientists
B. Sleep less, live longer
C. Sleep more, die younger
D. A new idea about sleeping causes criticism
22、While your pet fish may appear to be ignorant of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces! At least, that is the conclusion reached by scientists the University of Oxford in the U.K. and the University of Queensland in Australia, following an extensive study of the archerfish (喷水鱼), a species of tropical fish that can be found all the way from India to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Australia.
The ability to distinguish between human faces is a complex task. That’s because we all have the same basic features — two eyes sitting above a nose and a mouth. It’s only the subtle differences that make humans distinct from one another. Since this requires a combination of both visual sense and memory, researchers had always assumed that it was a skill possessed only by those with complicated brains, i.e., humans, a few select animals — such as horses, cows, dogs, monkeys and some birds, like pigeons.
To test if this assumption was accurate, a team of scientists led by Dr. Cait Newport, Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at Oxford University, decided to study fish. The aquatic (水生的) animals have small brains that lack the neocortex（大脑新皮层）, or neocortex-like structure, believed to help recognize the subtle differences between human facial features.
The team began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spat randomly at both. However, they soon learned that pouring water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further, by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.
To the researcher’s astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.
【1】What is the conclusion of the study made by the scientists from the universities?
A. Some fish may ignore your presence.
B. Some fish can recognize your faces.
C. Some fish have complicated brains.
D. Some fish have large brains.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The ability to distinguish between human faces.
B. A combination of visual sense and memory.
C. The ability of memorizing complicated things.
D. The ability of telling beasts from birds.
【3】In the experiment, the researchers trained the archerfish _______.
A. by taking photos of fish
B. by improving people’s images
C. by rewarding them with food
D. by covering their heads
23、Your alarm goes off on the first day of January. You force yourself out of bed and steadily walk toward the bathroom, where you catch sight of a pale-faced, sleepy-eyed “monster” in the mirror. 【1】. However, after a moment, you think. “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day, time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵). During December, it is often justified by the planning of New Year’s resolutions to turn oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned before February.【2】 While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making ourselves any more disciplined. Change involves, a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
【3】 One idea is to think small rather than big. Many people’s plans involve extreme measures, while in reality, change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. 【4】 30 minutes of TV time for two hours at the gym can be rewarding in motivating someone to work out every day.
Finally, set concrete goals. 【5】 For example, “I’m going to go running every day to train for a half-marathon in April” would be far more powerful than “I’m going to get in better shape this year”. Most importantly, remember that despite their names, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. Change takes time and effort, but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently… or at least until June.
A．You seem to be over the moon.
B．Almost instantly, you step back in horror.
C．So, how can you make yourself more disciplined?
D．Instead of making a vague resolution, make a specific one.
E．Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system.
F．Given this situation, why should we still put ourselves under great stress?
G．Regarding why this happens, the answer is likely related to self-discipline.
24、 Last Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.
The idea came from the bridegroom’s father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who have suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.
Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者)．
On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It’s like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don’t even have the most basic things,” Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”
【1】Why was there so many homeless people in Kilis?
A.To attend Michael and Linda’s wedding.
B.To support the organization.
C.To escape the damaging earthquake.
D.To help distribute free daily meals.
【2】How did the couple celebrate their wedding?
A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.
B.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.
C.They shared their happiness with the relatives in Kilis.
D.They took photos with the grateful victims.
【3】What does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.took in B.moved to
C.came across D.consulted with
