  • 13、It's common that people may find it difficult to get enough sleep because they have big pressure (压力) and heavy work. We all know that it is bad for our health. But if you sleep for less than 5 hours each day, you may even have fewer friends.

    According to researchers, people who don't get enough sleep can be less willing to communicate with others. The researchers tested 18 young people after a good night's sleep and then tested them again after a sleepless night. The participants (参与者) watched videos of people walking towards them. When the person on the video got too "close" to them, they stopped the video. The results showed that the participants kept the person further away when they didn't get enough sleep. But when the participants got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.

    According to the lead researcher, the less sleep you get, the less you may want to communicate with others. In turn, other people may think you are strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. So if you want to be a more popular person, sleeping well might help.

    Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill in the blanks.(Only one word for one blank.)

    (1)、People may trouble getting enough sleep of big pressure and heavy work.
    (2)、If you less than 5 hours sleeping each day, you may have fewer.

    Weeks passed and my dancing didn't get any3. Then I was told to perform in a show. I was afraid of disappointing my mom.

My mom quickly5 how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest6 and love. When I lost my balance, she held me up. When I jumped and fell, she was there to7 me. When the show arrived, I was well prepared.

  • 17、Three years ago, I started working at the University of Leeds. After moving to a new city, I was looking for things to do which can help me to make some new friends. I noticed that a community school was offering Chinese evening classes. Without much thought, I signed up for a Chinese class.

    There was one lesson a week, each lasting 90 minutes. Mr. Kong, the teacher, was full of energy. For each class, he would teach us hundreds of new words. After each lesson, I felt it too difficult to continue. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to this. Between classes, I would try to review what I had learned until I understood it. Gradually (逐渐地), I began to realise that the more work I put into Chinese study, the more interesting I found it.

    To make further progress, I planned to find a Chinese student to help me with my Chinese. The University of Leeds had more than 600 Chinese students. So it was not difficult to find one. Soon I met my new Chinese friend, Li Hua. He helped me practice my spoken Chinese and go over everything I had learned in class. Finally, I made it.

    Although there are so many words and idioms (习语) in Chinese, I am confident to get over any difficulty and become good at Chinese.

    (1)、Why did the writer learn Chinese?
    A、To build a community school. B、To make new friends. C、To help with his work. D、To move to China.
    (2)、What can we learn from paragraph 2?

    (3)、How did the writer make further progress in Chinese study?
    A、By listening to Chinese songs. B、By learning more Chinese idioms. C、By asking a Chinese student for help. D、By working hard on Chinese grammar.

  • 18、Owls (猫头鹰) are active mainly at night. They hunt (打猎) when it's dark. Most of us humans go about our business in the daytime. So we hardly ever see owls during the day, but many of us like these night birds very much.

    Our love for owls has a long history, and it's in all cultures. No matter how far you go back, there is always some type of art work or story that is about an owl. These days, we find pictures of owls almost everywhere. So what is it about owls that makes them so popular?

    Some bird researchers believe that owls are popular because of their "cool" looks. In order to see clearly in the dark, owls have large eyes. Unlike humans, owls cannot roll their eyes. Their heads have to do most of the turning-around work. It's also for this reason that owls can turn their heads around almost entirely (完全地) on their necks.

    Besides, another reason for its popularity is its ability to hunt. Owls use sound to hunt. Their ears are special—the left ear is a bit higher than the right ear. A sound goes in one ear before it arrives in the other. This helps owls tell which direction a sound is coming from. So they have a good sense of hearing.

    Thanks to such unusual looks and abilities, owls are known as popular animals. Over the centuries, lots of stories about them have been created. These stories have made more people become interested in owls.

    (1)、What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A、Why owls are active at night. B、How popular owls have been. C、Why owls hunt in the dark. D、How hard it is to see owls.
    (2)、What is the meaning of the underlined part "roll their eyes" in Paragraph 3?
    A、Open their eyes. B、Clean their eyes. C、Close their eyes. D、Turn around their eyes.
    (3)、Why do owls have a good sense of hearing?
    A、Because they have large ears. B、Because their ears can turn around. C、Because a sound can only go into their left ears. D、Because their left ears are higher than the right ears.
    (4)、In which part of a magazine can you probably read the text?
    A、Natural world. B、Life and health. C、Language and culture. D、Science and technology.
  • 19、Think about what you like to wear on the weekend. There's a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue jeans (牛仔裤). But according to a new study, our love for jeans may be bad for Earth, especially for sea animals.

    In order to improve jeans' feel and give jeans blue color, some man-made chemicals (化学品) are added to denim (牛仔布). Every time we wash our jeans, small bits of denim drop. They come out of our washing machine and into the world's rivers, lakes and oceans. Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and found denim waste in it. The harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. They might be putting some sea animals in danger.

    Scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop for each wash. The answer was worrying: About 50,000 bits. Not all of them come into the environment. Wastewater treatment factories can deal with 99% of them. This may sound pretty good. However, the rest of them still have a bad influence on the environment.

    Does this mean we shouldn't wear jeans? Probably not. "We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it," says Sam Athey, one of the scientists. "You don't need to wash your jeans too often."

    (1)、What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
    A、Small bits of denim. B、Blue jeans. C、New studies. D、Sea animals.
    (2)、What have scientists found in the study?
    A、How to make jeans. B、Jeans are popular in the world. C、Denim waste is in the Great Lakes. D、Man-made chemicals are not harmful.
    (3)、How many bits of denim will drop if we wash one pair of jeans once?
    A、About 500 bits. B、About 45,000 bits. C、About 50,000 bits. D、About 49,500 bits.
    (4)、What can be the best title of the article?
    A、Say no to jeans B、Jeans—everyone's love C、Wear your jeans every day D、Wash your jeans less, please!
