Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

But I can hear my neighbor’s alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt if he gets to work on time.‎ A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening. He’s happy to stay up watching TV till after midnight, while I go to bed early and try to sleep.‎ Well, it might not be his fault after all. I’m called “a lark (百灵鸟)”and my neighbor “an owl (猫头鹰)”‎ We all have inside “clocks” in the brain to control all kinds of bodily functions and it is reset every day by light. These inside clocks run to a different schedule in “larks” and “owls”. If you have a fast clock, you like to do things early, and if you have a slow clock, you like to do things late.‎ Because we live in a 24/7 world, scientists believe it’s important to understand a person’s “chronotype”—the time of the day when they function the best. It could help us lead a healthier life.‎ A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes.‎ And he has advice for those who can’t choose their working hours:“If that’s not possible, we should be more careful about light exposure,” says the professor. “You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike. The minute the sun sets we should use things that have no blue light, like computer. . . screens and other electronic devices.”‎ ‎8. How is the passage mainly developed?‎ A. By presenting and solving problems.‎ B. By explaining the cause-effect relationship.‎ C. By giving examples and drawing a conclusion.‎ D. By analyzing differences and providing advice.‎ ‎9. What does the underlined phrase “burning the midnight oil” in Paragraph1probably mean?‎ A. drilling for oil in the midnight B. using too much oil in the midnight C. staying up late D. getting up late ‎10. We can learn from the passage that the author’s neighbor__________.‎ A. almost always gets to work on time B. has to work deep into the night every day C. is passive during the day but energetic at night D. is easily woken up by his alarm clock in the morning ‎11. Things with blue light are not recommended after sunset because blue light .‎ A. may cause sleep problems B. will make you nervous C. will reduce your work efficiency D. may make you sleepy D Try to Be Optimistic I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.‎ I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places that I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.‎ The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”‎ My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration (移民)officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.‎ From my experiences I have learned one important rule; something good is certain ‎ to happen in the end if you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.‎ ‎12. How did the author get to know America?‎ A. From her relatives B. From her mother C. From books and pictures D. From radio programs ‎13. For the first two years in New York, the author .‎ A. often lost her way B. studied in three different schools C. did not think about her future D. got on well with her stepfather ‎14.

She helped her family with her English ‎15.

Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 17 ‎ Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 18 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.‎ Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 19 ‎ ‎20 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.‎ A. Laughter can change one’s life.‎ B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.‎ C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish（减少）both stress and pain.‎ D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.‎ E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.‎ F. Laughter is the best medicine.‎ G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.‎ 第二部分：英语知识应用 （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，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ Brownie and Spotty were neighbour dogs who met every day to play together.
