However, sleep experts have shown that newborns dream the most in the first two weeks after birth. Babies spend most of their sleeping time in REM(rapid eye movement) stage. As dreaming takes place in a light state of sleep, newborns tend to wake up due to noises, movements and other factors. When dreaming, newborns make a few noises and their eyes move. They may move around the sides or up and down. They may laugh, scream, or cry during the REM sleep. Also, their facial muscles, hands, and legs move, due to which they may wake up. So wrapping a baby in swaddling(裹紧的) clothes can keep the baby’s body from moving and help them sleep better. As babies grow, their body movement decreases when dreaming.‎ Studies say that the brain activity associated with dreaming is essential for the babies’ mental development. During the REM stage, the flow of blood to the brain increases. As a result, certain nerve proteins are produced, which are the building units of the brain. Babies get stimulation from what they see, hear, or feel. The brain processes the information acquired while awake, and stores what is essential to the individual. A study concludes that babies learned while they were dreaming.‎ What’s the time for babies to start dreaming? Researchers say that before birth, babies start experiencing REM sleep around week 25, and so they may start dreaming at the point. On the contrary, some psychologists believe that children start having dreams when they are about 5 years old. At that age, they start becoming aware of themselves and begin to understand the things around them, which is what dreams are actually made of.‎ ‎4. What may babies do in the REM stage?‎ A. make faces B. stay awake C. burst into laughter D. make eye contact with others ‎5. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. benefits of baby-dreaming B. reasons for baby-dreaming C. when babies start dreaming D. how babies dream while sleeping ‎6. Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word “stimulation”?‎ A. messages B. possibilities C. conclusions D. descriptions ‎【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。研究发现，婴儿在出生两周之后开始做梦，他们会在REM睡眠时发出各种动作，包括大哭，大叫，或者大笑。研究还发现婴儿时期的梦对孩子的脑力发展有好处。也有科学家认为孩子五岁时才开始做梦，因为那时他们才知道并理解周围的事物。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的They may laugh, scream, or cry during the REM sleep.可知婴儿在REM睡眠时会笑、尖叫或者大哭。C. burst into laughter（大笑起来）符合以上说法，故选C项。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段的内容，尤其是dreaming is essential for the babies’ mental development（做梦是婴儿脑力发展的基础）flow of blood to the brain increases.（大脑供血量增加） Babies get stimulation from what they see, hear, or feel. （孩子从梦里所见、所听、所感获得信息）和babies learned while they were dreaming.（孩子在做梦的时候学习）等可知，等二段主要讲婴儿时期的梦对婴儿的好处。A. benefits of baby-dreaming（婴儿时期梦的好处）符合以上说法，故选A项。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在句和下句Babies get stimulation from what they see, hear, or feel. The brain processes the information acquired while awake, and stores what is essential to the individual.可知，婴儿可以从梦里的所见、所听或所感中获得……，然后醒来时大脑就会处理这些信息，并储存对个体有用的东西，故推测画线词的意思是“信息”。A. messages（信息）故选A项。‎ C The big fire in April that tore through the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris(巴黎圣母院) is still fresh in people’s minds. The 800-year-old landmark suffered great ‎ damage to its top, but thankfully the most valuable religious relics and cultural treasures were undamaged.‎ So a US publishing company GoArchitect organized the People’s Design Competition to invite designers, worldwide to share their ideas of rebuilding the French landmark. The open call attracted more than 200 proposals from 56 countries and regions. In the end, Chinese architects Cai Zeyu and Li Sibei won the competition with their striking design. They are both the post-90s generation.‎ Named “Paris Heartbeat”, the design replaces the old top with a kaleidoscope( 万花筒) of multifaceted mirrors, which is combined with a mirror roof, reflecting the ever–changing urban environment.‎ The kaleidoscope is the floating “time capsule”, at the top using magnetic levitation(磁悬浮) technology, which is meant to open every half century. The “time capsule” moves up and down, breathing and beating together with the city.‎ ‎“I believe that the ‘time capsule’ can be achieved with present technology,” Cai told the Global Times.‎ The pair hoped that their design, Paris Heartbeat, could meet people’s high expectations for the rebuilding. As Cai and Li told GoArchitect, “Notre Dame witnessed Parisian history. It burns, survives and co-breathes with the ever-changing world…The 2019 fire will mark a new era.”‎ Though people still don’t know what kind of design the French government will choose, it’s clear that people around the world hope that the lost beauty of Notre Dame will come back. Once rebuilt, it will certainly become a permanent part of history and the Parisian skyline again.‎ ‎7. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. A open call for the recovery of Dame Cathedral.‎ B.

Two thirds of the Notre Dame Cathedral was damaged in the big fire.‎ B. The French government organized the People’s Design Competition.‎ C. The kaleidoscope is designed using traditional architecture technology.‎ D. It remains to be seen whether “Paris Heartbeat” will be adopted.‎ ‎10. Where is the passage possibly taken from?‎ A. an entertainment magazine B. a newspaper C. a geography textbook D. a guide book ‎【答案】7. B 8. D 9. D 10. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两个中国设计师所设计的“Paris Heartbeat”,以及故事发生的背景。尽管政府还未确定会采取哪种设计，但两个设计师认为他们的设计能够满足人们对重建巴黎圣母院的高度期待。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章3-6自然段的叙述，尤其是第三段的Named “Paris Heartbeat”, the design replaces the old top with a kaleidoscope( 万花筒) of multifaceted mirrors, which is combined with a mirror roof, reflecting the ever–changing urban environment.可知，本文主要讲述两个中国建筑师为Paris Heartbeat所作的设计。B. The design of Paris Heartbeat by two Chinese architects .（两个中国建筑师设计的Paris Heartbeat）符合以上说法，故选B项。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第三、四段的内容the design replaces the old top with a kaleidoscope( 万花筒) of multifaceted mirrors, which is combined with a mirror roof, reflecting the ever–changing urban environment.…The “time capsule” moves up and down, breathing and beating together with the city.可知这两段主要解释了kaleidoscope( 万花筒) of multifaceted mirrors和floating “time capsule”的设计理念。D. make an explanation（做解释）符合以上说法，故选D项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的Though people still don’t know what kind of design ‎ the French government will choose, 可知人们还不知道政府会采用什么样的设计。D.

The right amount of sleep is essential for anyone who wants to do well in tests or sports. And lack of sleep affects everything from a person's ability to pay attention in class to his or her mood. It also damages teens’ ability to do their best in athletics. Unfortunately, research shows that many teens don't get enough sleep, and more than 20% of high school students fall asleep in class.‎ Until recently, teens were often blamed for staying up late, oversleeping for school, and falling asleep in class. But recent studies show that teens’ sleep ‎ patterns actually differ from those of adults or kids. These studies show that during the teen years, the body’s biological clock is temporarily reset, telling a person to fall asleep later and wake up later. This change might arise from the fact that the brain hormone melatonin (褪黑素) is produced later at night for teens than it is for kids and adults. This can make it harder for teens to fall asleep early.‎ These changes in the body's biological clock are in line with a time when they're busier than ever. For most teens, the pressure to do well in school is heavier than when they were kids, and it's harder to get by without studying hard. And teens also have other time demands — everything from sports and other extracurricular(课程外的) activities to fitting in a part-time job to save money for college.‎ Early start time in some schools may also play a role in this sleep shortage. Teens who fall asleep after midnight may still have to get up early for school, meaning that they may only squeeze in 6 or 7 hours of sleep a night. A couple hours of missed sleep a night may not seem like a big deal, but can create a noticeable sleep shortage over time ‎【答案】Possible Version one:‎ Although enough sleep plays an important role to study efficiently and perform in sports, researchers indicate many teens are suffering sleep shortage. ( 要点1) The major factor lying behind is the change of adolescent biological clock, which causes them to sleep late. (要点2) Meanwhile, busy and challenging high school life leaves them less time for a good sleep. ( 要点3) Early morning classes are also to blame for its contribution to teens' sleep loss. ( 要点4) 68 words Possible Version two:‎ Researches show that many teenagers lack enough sleep, which is vital to their academics and athletics. ( 要点1) The change of teens' body biological clock making teenagers night owls, may account for this problem. ( 要点2) Another reason is that teens have to lessen their sleep time to catch up with their busy and challenging school life. ( 要点3) Additionally, school early schedules add fuel to adolescent sleep insufficiency.
