2、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. Here' s how to make one.
● In order to make a change, you need to decide why it' s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. That' s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you' re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (补偿) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found.
● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you' ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.

3、 阅读理解(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Easter (复活节) is still a great day for worship, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.
Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer – it lives on the islands! – but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0. 9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.
The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators (捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.
American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁移) to higher ground – but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can' t go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.
The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.

13、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The director of one firm decided to delegate(授权)some of the work to his deputy(副手). He needed a brave and intelligent person, as he was in his youth. There were three such worthy people in the firm, and he did not know who was the best candidate for the position. Then he decided to use some old wisdom and came up with a test.
He prepared three identical suitcases and put them on the table. He got the three young men to come to his office and said to them, "I have known you for years, and each of you is a good and devoted employee. I am grateful for all your hard work in all these years. Now I need one deputy to help me, but it is tough for me to make a choice. After lots of thinking, I decided to give you a test." He pointed to the three suitcases on the table and said that the position would go to whoever passed the test.
He asked them to picture a situation in their mind: You come to a meeting with a very important and respectable client to sign a contract. The client is in a hurry and will not wait for long, and the contract must be signed right now. The contract is in the suitcase, but the keys are lost. There's no time to search for the keys. You have a minute to open the suitcase with a penknife. Whoever does it first will be the new deputy director. The three men nodded and wanted to start, but the director stopped them. He said there was one more condition: If they take this challenge and fail to open the suitcase, then at the end of the year they will not receive their bonuses. Or they can give up the test and continue working as before, and receive the bonuses at the end of the year.
