They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.‎ Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.‎ In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer（遭受）less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! ‎ If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.‎ ‎31. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?‎ A. Because it’s very hot in summer.‎ B. Because you eat too much for lunch.‎ C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.‎ D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.‎ ‎32. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?‎ A. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap. ‎ B. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.‎ C. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.‎ D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.‎ ‎33. What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph?‎ A. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.‎ B. Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summer.‎ C. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day. ‎ D. If you take naps every day, you’ll have less risk of heart disease.‎ ‎34. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?‎ A. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.‎ B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.‎ C. Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later. ‎ D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 2:30 pm. ‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. A‎1l For a Nap. B. Just For a Rest.‎ C. A Special Sleep Pattern. D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.‎ B It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.‎ Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.‎ In a new study from the University‎ of ‎Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.‎ ‎“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding（搜刮）the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”． ‎ There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit（使受益）your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.‎ There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes ‎ halfclosed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation（冥想），”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.‎ So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?‎ ‎36. According to the passage, which of the following is Wrong?‎ A. Green tea and yoga can benefit cat. B. Cats can copy humans' behaviours.‎ C. Cats are smart and have a long memory. D. Humans can learn from cats in some way.‎ ‎37. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge. B. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.‎ C. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yoga D. Cats' going to their owners for food. ‎ ‎38. What can we learn from our cats?‎ A. To be able to copy. B. To remain peaceful.‎ C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends. ‎ ‎39. Which of these old sayings best fits this story? ‎ ‎ A. The grass is greener on the other side. B. Love me, love my dog.‎ ‎ C. One takes the behavior of one's company. D. It’s never too old to learn. ‎ ‎40. The best title for the passage could be “________”. ‎ A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your cat C. Your cat is copying your habit D. You can make your cat social C ‎ My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “Lost my job. Family to feed.”‎ ‎ At this store, a sight like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and made a comment（评论）on how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind.‎ ‎ In the store, I asked each of my kids to pick something they thought our “friend” there would appreciate. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a gift card. I thought about it. We were low on cash ourselves, but … well, sometimes giving from our need instead of our abundance（充裕）is just what we need to do! All the kids declared（宣称）something they could do away with for the week.‎ ‎ When we handed him the bag of food, he lit up and thanked us with watery eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for whatever his family might need, he burst into tears.‎ ‎ This has been a wonderful experience for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can help! Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have money to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in need, it also gave my kids the __________ taste of helping others. It’ll go a long way with them.‎ ‎41. From the passage, what is TRUE about the writer’s family? ‎ A. There were two children in her family. B. They lived a rich and generous life.‎ C. They didn’t have any money to help others. D. They helped the poor man at last.‎ ‎42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. giving him some food B. giving from our abundance C. giving from our need D. giving him a postcard ‎ ‎43. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?‎ a. The man was grateful with tears.‎ b. Each child picked some food for the man in the store.‎ c. A poor man lost his job and asked people for help.‎ d. All kids did away with something and gave him a gift card.‎ e. They saw the poor man outside the supermarket and took pity on him. ‎ A. c-e-b-d-a B. c-e-d-b-a C. e-c-d-b-a D. e-c-b-d-a ‎ ‎44. The best word could be filled in the blank in Paragraph 5 should be ________.‎ A. terrible B. sweet C. tiring D. hopeless ‎45. What can we infer（推测）from the last paragraph?‎ A. They will try their best to help more people in the future.‎ B. They had helped many people before offering this poor man help.‎ C. If mother had said NO, the kids would have helped in a different way.‎ D. They won’t help more people because they can't afford to do so.‎ 第二部分 非选择题（共60分）‎ 四、阅读表达 Dear Dr Chang I am a nurse from the Children’s Hospital. I am writing to ask for some advice about my 15-year-old son, Jim. At the moment, he refuses to do almost anything his father and I ask him to do. Jim is our only child and we treat him very well. His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude to them. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn't love us at all. ‎ Recently, Jim has been refusing to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching movies and listening to foreign music. I don’t have much time to help him with his homework. I devote myself to helping my patients because it’s tiring but challenging. Jim also spends too much time on the Internet, where he either plays games or chats online. He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life! What am I to do? ‎ At present, to prevent upsetting his father with an argument, I am allowing Jim his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing Jim to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. ‎ How can I help Jim without harming our relationship? Could you offer me some suggestions?‎ Best regards ‎ Cheng Xin ‎（NO MORE THAN 9 WORDS）‎ ‎46. Who is the writer of the letter?‎ ‎47. How does Cheng Xin’s son treat his grandparents?‎ ‎48.

The truth is, diet and ways of life are often a problem for teenagers. However, the good news is that you can feel better, look better and have more energy if you eat the right food and exercise regularly.‎ As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. If you don’t have healthy food, you won’t get enough energy, and then you feel tired. For a healthy diet, you should eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. You also need to drink a lot of water—six to eight glasses a day. Water helps keep your system clean. ‎ Exercise is something that can help to make you look good, feel good and be healthy. Experts suggest that teenagers spend at least 30 minutes exercising, five times a week. That is easy to do! Walking and riding your bike count, and school sports also count. Often, teenagers give up sport, saying they have no time left after their studies. Many teenagers are surprised to learn that when you exercise, your body produces something that makes you feel relaxed and increase your ability to concentrate（专注）when you study. ‎ A good sleep every night is also very important for your health. When you sleep, your body prepares you for the day to come. Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep each night. In fact, you will look tired because of losing sleep. ‎ If you follow the advice above, you will look and feel much better in no time at all!‎ A problem for teenagers and three 51 to follow Many teenagers’ problem Diet and lifestyles are often a problem for teenagers. ‎ You can feel better, look better and become 52 if you eat the right food and exercise regularly.‎ Healthy diet As a teenager, it is important to give your body 53 energy. ‎ You won’t get enough energy and you’ll feel tired unless you eat 54 .‎ Eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit.

About 1/3 of the students agree that parents should be strict with us（/with those Tiger Mothers）. They think it can help us form good habits if parents are strict with us. For example, my parents always ask me to have a healthy diet.（Parents are our first teachers.）Usually parents have more experiences in life so we can make fewer mistakes or even avoid making any mistakes with their help.‎ However, more students think parents shouldn't be too strict. They think parents should let us make our own decisions and choices.（We should behave well enough to show we have grown up. ）They can give us their advice us when we have difficulty making decisions. And at the same time, they should allow us to spend more time on our hobbies instead of studying all day long.‎ Anyway, in my opinion, we need our parents’ love and care. But it's necessary for parents get along with their children like friends. Too much stress can not help realize our dreams.（It only makes things worse.）Parents and their children should have more communications in order to understand each other better. ‎ We love our parents. However, it's we who shape our future.‎
