More than nine out of 10 young people expose themselves to the blue light from smart phones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as “extremely worrying”. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.‎ ‎ In reality, getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. “The blue light from these devices suppresses (压制) the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, so it’s important to avoid them before bed time,” said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire. ‎ ‎ Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion of people thought to be getting too little sleep had risen by a fifth since a “bedroom poll” conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.‎ ‎ Last week opticians warned that overuse of smart phones may be increasing people’s risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said, “Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes.” So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you’re looking at a smart phone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 32 times a day.‎ ‎24. The purpose of the passage is to ________.‎ A. stress that people don’t use smart phones.‎ B. remind people of enough sleep.‎ C. ask people not sleep too much.‎ D. tell people not to use smart phones before bed ‎25. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?‎ A. According to a new survey, more than 28 million people in the UK get more than seven hours ‎ sleep a night. ‎ B. More than 90% young people expose themselves to the blue light from smart phones before bed.‎ C. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 91% said they used electronic devices before going to bed.‎ D. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 30 times a day.‎ ‎26. According to what Andy Hepworth said, overuse of smart phones may be increasing people's risk of _______. ‎ A. weight gain B. cancer C. eye damage D. heart attacks ‎27. Teenagers are generally thought to get sleep of _______ a night.‎ A. about 9 hours B. 7-8 hours C. less than 7 hours D. more than 10 hours C The more scientists find out about how a child goes from being hardly able to see when just born to being able to talk, ride a bike, draw, and invent an imaginary friend by the age of five, the more they realize that the baby’s brain is a magic learning machine. Its future --to a great degree --is in our hands. ‎ Judit Gervain and her team tested how good newborns are at telling apart different sound patterns. Using modern technology, the researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard audio sequences (音频序列). In some, the sounds were repeated in an ABB structure, such as a mu-ba-ba. In others, an ABC structure, such as a mu-ba-ge. They found that brain part responded more strongly to the ABB sequences. In a later study, they found that the newborn brain was also able to tell the difference between audio sequences with an AAB pattern and those with a ABB pattern. Not only could babies notice repetition, they also were sensitive to where it came about in the sequence. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. Position is key to language. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: “John killed the bear” is very different from “The bear killed John.” ‎ Elsewhere, researchers led by Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by television, audio books, the Internet, or smart phone doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s development. ‎ They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. The researchers expected the group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the group who experienced the same sounds face to face. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies exposed to the language through human interactions were able to tell the difference between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies ---- no matter whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio ---- showed no learning at all. ‎ ‎“We were blown away.” Kuhl says. “It changed our original thinking about the brain.” The result of this suggests that social experience is necessary for a child’s development. ‎ 28. What did Gervain’s research find? ‎ A. Babies’ brains could recognize different sound patterns.‎ B. Audio processing was not well developed in newborn babies. ‎ C. Which brain part was used to process speed. ‎ D. Babies’ brains could understand grammar. ‎ ‎29. What is the main conclusion from Kuhl’s study? ‎ A. Brain development is improved by interacting with people.‎ B. It’s important to expose babies to language from many sources. ‎ C. Foreign languages help a baby’s brain develop. ‎ D. Nine-month-olds’ brains develop the quickest. ‎ ‎30. How did Kuhl feel at the result of the study on nine-month-olds? ‎ A. Moved. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Encouraged. ‎ ‎31. Which opinion is supported by the text? ‎ A. Babies shouldn’t be allowed to watch TV. ‎ B. We can influence the way a child’s brain develops. ‎ C. Babies’ brains develop in the same way at the beginning. ‎ D. Early exposure to audio programs advances brain development. ‎ D China‎ suffers choking smog, mass destruction of habitats and food poisoned with heavy metals. But ask an environmentalist what is the country’s biggest problem, and the answer is always the same. “Water is the worst,” says Wang Tao, of the Carnegie Tsinghua Centre in Beijing, “because of its shortage, and because of its pollution.” “Without water,” agrees Pan ‎ Jiahua, of the Chinese‎ ‎Academy of Social Sciences, “people cannot survive in a desert.” Wang Shucheng, a former water minister, once said, “To fight for every drop of water or die. That is the challenge facing China.” He was not exaggerating.‎ China‎ uses 600 billion cubic meters of water a year. The national average hides an even more alarming regional difference. Four fifths of China’s water is in the south, particularly the Yangtze river basin. Half the people and two thirds of the farmland are in the north, including the Yellow‎ ‎River basin. Beijing has the sort of water shortage usually associated with Saudi Arabia: just 100 cubic meters per person a year.‎ The water available for use is thus so bad. Song Lanhe, chief engineer for urban water quality monitoring at the housing ministry, says only half the water sources in cities are safe to drink. More than half the groundwater in the north China plain cannot be used for industry, while seven tenths is unfit for human contact, even for washing.‎ The best answer would be to improve the efficiency with which water is used. Only about 40% of water used in industry is recycled, half as much as in Europe. The rest is dumped in rivers and lakes. Wang Zhansheng of Tsinghua University argues that China is neglecting its urban water infrastructure, leading to more waste. Water prices in most cities are only about a tenth of the level in big European cities, yet the government is unwilling to raise them, for fear of a popular criticism. The result is that China’s “water productivity” is low.‎ Rather than making wise reforms in pricing and water protection, China is focusing on increasing supplies. The best known such project is the Three Gorges dam on the Yangtze. But this year an even vaster project----the South North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程）is due to start. It will link the Yangtze with the Yellow River, taking water from the wet south to the dry north. When finished, it is intended to deliver 45 billion cubic meters of water a year and to cost a total of 486 billion yuan ($79.4 billion).‎ The environmental damage could be huge. The Yangtze is already seriously polluted. The project so far has reduced the quantity of underwater life in the Yangtze by over two thirds. And that was before it even opened. Ma Jun, China’s best known environmental activist, says, “the government’s preference for giant engineering projects only makes matters worse, causing us to hit the limits of our water resources. The water crisis is driving China to desperate but eventually unhelpful measures.”‎ 32. From the first two paragraphs we know that _________. ‎ A. water is badly polluted in most of the area of ‎China B. the water in China is unfit for people to survive in a desert C. Wang Shucheng was sad about China’s future D. people in North China are facing a more serious water shortage ‎33. China can raise “water productivity” by _________.‎ A. offering diverse water supplies and conservation B. strengthening construction of water infrastructure and recycling C. raising water prices in big cities as European countries D. building up more giant water projects and cooperating with neighbors ‎34. According to the author, the South North Water Diversion Project is _________.‎ A. a vast and significant project B. a huge and promising project C. a giant but unsuccessful project D. a costly but effective project ‎35. By saying “The water crisis is driving China to desperate but eventually unhelpful measures” in the last paragraph, the author implies _________.‎ A. there is no good way for China to solve the problem of water crisis B. more giant projects like the Three Gorges should be built C. it is urgent for China to deal with the crisis of water shortage and pollution D. China should put forward other efficient ways instead of those giant engineering projects 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，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。‎ New research helps to explain why screaming is disturbing and useful.‎ Screams, like those we hear in horror movies, have a special quality that separates them from other noises we make and hear. These screams are recognized by people all over the world.‎ ‎ 36 Every kid in every culture screams. Every adult in the context of a true fear responds with screams. So it’s just a feature of the human mind and brain．‎ David Poeppel is a neuroscientist at New York‎ ‎University. He wondered why screams were recognized the same way by people all around the world. So, he and his colleagues set up an experiment.‎ They recorded screams from movies and from volunteers who took part in the research. 37 ‎ ‎ Instead, they measured how quickly the sounds in the scream changed in volume. It was in this area---the change in volume that screams stand apart from other sounds.‎ When the volume of a sound changes that quickly it has a quality called “roughness”.   38 David Poeppel and his team found that car alarms, sirens, and alarm clocks also have this quality, this “roughness”.‎ The scientists then studied how this “roughness” changed brain activity. They asked the volunteers to listen to different types of screams and alarms in an MRI scanner. The researchers found that the greater “roughness” of a sound, the more it activates the amygdala. 39 The amygdala acts like a gauge (计量器) that says “Wow, this sound has a lot of roughness in it; that’s particularly alarming and scary.”‎ Screams, it turns out, are a direct link to the part of our brain that tells us whether we should be afraid or not.   40 Now, we know why a scream gets so much attention, so quickly. A. People who hear these rough sounds are also more likely to react to them very quickly. B. People of all cultures and languages hear the same thing in a scream: fear. C. A scream is to say “I’m in trouble and I need help”. D. The amygdala is an area deep in the brain that answers to fear. E. The more roughness a sound has, the more worrying it is. F. Screams played a very important evolutionary role in our survival. G. The scientists, however, did not measure the screams for loudness.‎ ‎ 第II 卷 ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ It was the day before my daughter’s birthday.

Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when 61 (choose) where and what to eat. This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled. As we all know, McDonald’s is one of the best-known 62 (restaurant) in the U.S. and even around the world, 63 these days the company leaders are seeing numbers they probably do not like. In the last quarter of 2014, McDonald’s income dropped by about $300 million. The January earnings report brought more bad news. Worldwide sales dropped for the 64 (eight) month in a row and even more than expected. Fortunately, McDonald’s is 65 (work) hard to get their customers back.
