Our bodies depend on genes to produce a constant supply of proteins which are used to replace or repair damaged tissue, but after a week of lacking in sleep some of genes stopped working. 37 Scientists from Surrey University divided 26 volunteers into two groups, one of which slept for less than six hours per night for a whole week, and one of which slept for ten hours per night. At the end of the week each group was kept awake for 40 hours and donated blood samples, which were studied to examine the effects of their sleep states. 38 Although a week's normal sleep was enough to restore the affected genes to their normal pattern, researchers said that long periods of sleeplessness could lead to serious health problems including heart disease. 39 Prof Colin Smith, one of the authors of the new paper, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, said, "This is only a week of short time sleeping and it is only five and a half or six hours night. Many people have that amount of sleep for weeks, months and maybe, even years so we have no idea how much worse it might be." If these processes continue to be disordered, you could see how you are going to get damage of organs, tissues, heart disease, etc. 40 A. Genes in our bodies play a key role in the constant process of self-repair. B. The group of lack of sleeping was found to have changed the function of 711 genes. C. The other participants were monitored as they slept with their rest disturbed on some of the nights. D. The results suggest that shorter sleep provides a more permissive environment only for heart disease. E. If you are not able to repair cells and tissues that are damaged then you are going to suffer permanent ill health. F. Studies have also shown the lack of sleep can lead to some other problems, for example limiting our ability to drive a car safely. G. The findings suggest that long-lasting lack of sleep could prevent the body from fully repairing itself and raise the risk of a host of diseases.第三部分完形填空 ( 共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分 ) A man worked in a big company ． One day ， he came home from 41 late ， tired and annoyed ， to find his 6-year old son 42 him at the door ． The 43 his son saw him ， he asked him a question ， “Daddy ， how much do you make an hour?” “That’s 44 of your business ． If you 45 know ， I make $20 an hour ． ” the man said angrily ． “Oh ， ” the little boy replied ， with his head down ． Looking up ， he said ， “Daddy ， may I please 46 $10?” The father was 47 and shouted at him to go back to his room because he thought his son was so 48 .The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door ． The man sat down and started to get 49 angrier about the little boy’s 50 ． How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

J. shut the door of the truck. “Ready,” he said. His dad started the truck. It was six o’clock and freezing, but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures. It had been colder than normal over the past week, and the ground and ponds were already frozen. “After we check on the cows,” Dad said, “you should have some time to practice roping cattle.” A. J. wanted to enter the rodeos ( 牛仔竞技表演 ) in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes. The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf( 小牛 ), and hog-tie the calf in less than ten seconds. So far, A.J. needed nearly a minute and a half, but he’d only been at it for a few months. The truck bounced down the dirt road. In a few minutes, they passed through the field gate. A. J. pulled a pair of telescopes. The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows gathered around the pond. A. J. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. Suddenly, they heard extremely frightened shouts from one cow. Dad stopped the truck, and he and A. J. stared at the frozen pond anxiously. A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calf’s mother, stood onshore, shouting desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time. The morning sun seemed warmer. Too warm. A. J. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown. Dad eased the truck down the hill and stopped at the edge of the pond. “No telling how long she’s been there,” he said. “The ice could be about to melt. I don’t think we can risk it.” Dad shook his head, “It’s just not safe.” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: A. J. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fright. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: It would be just like rodeo practice, A. J. thought, trying to stay calm. ___________________ 答案： 听力：ACCBB BBCCA CCBBC BBCCA 阅读：CDA BCCA BCAD BBAD 七选五：AGBFE 完形填空：BCCAA DBCAC CBCCD DCBAC 作文： Paragraph 1: A. J. watched the calf, whose eyes were wide with fright. Though frightened, the calf gathered all her strength to get up but slipped over and over again. Seeing the danger, the mother cow let out shouts with horror and cast helpless glances at A. J. and his dad as if begging them for help. An atmosphere of sadness blanketing the whole world, every nerve in A. J.’s body screamed at him that he must save the poor calf. All of a sudden, an idea came into his mind like a flash. Paragraph 2: It would be just like rodeo practice, A. J. thought, trying to stay calm. He rushed to the truck to grab the rope quickly, aimed it at the calf and let it go. Luckily, he made it at the first attempt! With palms sweating, he and his dad struggled to pull the calf out of the frozen pond. After what seemed like a century, they managed to save the calf. Seeing the calf running to her mother happily, A. J. felt comforted and glad that what he had learned helped save a life.
