Researchers studied about eight thousand children whose parents took part in the research on early childhood.The parents answered questions by telephone at nine months and again at four years. Researcher Erika Gaylor asked parents to follow routines (惯例) like reading books or telling stories to their children.Children who go to bed after nine o'clock took longer to fall asleep and slept less.Children also got less sleep if they did not have bedtime routines. A separate study found that more sleep may even make a person run faster.The study was small — seven players in the Stanford University football team.For the study, they aimed for (争取) at least ten hours of sleep each night during the season.After seven to eight weeks of more sleep, the players ran faster in short training races.They also felt less sleepy during the day. Stanford sleep researcher Cheri Mah says sleep should be part of a player's training program.This is some of her advice: Adults should try to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night.Teenagers and young adults should aim for nine hours or more.Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.And take brief naps during the day to get more sleep. 21．The underlined “that” in the first paragraph refers to “________”． A．a bedtime rule B．a fouryearold child C．a book D．eleven hours' sleep 22．What does Erika Gaylor think can help children fall asleep? A．Talking with children. B．Doing the same things at bedtime. C．Asking doctors for advice. D．Going to bed after nine o'clock. 23．From the fourth paragraph we can learn that ________. A．football players need more sleep than others B．players are easily injured if they don't sleep well C．too much training can make players feel sleepy D．enough sleep can make players do well in races 24．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Bedtime rules lead to better skills. B．Bad sleeping habits cause health problems. C．Children need more sleep than adults. D．Bedtime rules make children sleep more. B Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people only read the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people don't take time to read real news. They attempt to catch the reader's interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. However，they may read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper any more. They say they get the news on television now. More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news? 25．According to the passage, newspapers are ________. A．more popular today B．less popular today C．as popular as before D．getting more and more popular 26．According to the author, which of the following newspapers will most probably attract the reader's attention? A．The ones with interesting pictures and exciting headlines on the front page. B．The ones with sports news on the front page. C．The ones with classified ads on the front page. D．The ones with gossip columns on the front page. 27．According to the passage, most people read all of the following EXCEPT ________. A．the sports page B．comics C．advertisements D．real news 28．The author's attitude toward newspapers is ________. A．sympathetic B．critical C．negative D．undetermined C After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it? That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What's worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools. However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked parttime, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher. In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book. True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child. 29．Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital? A．They all wanted to have a good rest. B．What the doctor said made them worried. C．The author didn't do well in the exam. D．They focused on the scenery along the road. 30．How did the author manage to get high marks? A．By listening carefully. B．By being confident. C．By getting help from his classmates. D．By reading as many books as possible. 31．We can learn from the text that ________. A．the author's sight recovered finally B．reading made the author more sensitive C．the author's mother didn't work to look after him D．reading made the author not worry about his sight 32．Which of the following could be the title of the text? A．My eyesight trouble B．An unforgettable experience C．About Mother's love D．With ears wide open D According to a study in Norway, students who stayed in school longer than others of their age scored higher in intelligence tests. In the middle of the 1950s, the government began requiring students to attend school until the age of sixteen instead of fourteen.Communities had almost twenty years to make the change.So some students went to school for seven years while others went for at least nine years.This difference gave researchers the chance to see if the extra schooling had any effect on the development of intelligence. All young men in Norway must take a test of their cognitive (认知的) abilities at age nineteen in preparation for required military service (兵役)．This is commonly called an IQ test. The researchers compared the test results of 107,000 young men to their years of schooling.Taryn Ann Galloway, a researcher at the University of Oslo, says，“The young men who were basically forced to stay in school for two years longer actually do have higher IQs.So, based on that, we can say that increasing schooling did actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities.” An average IQ was one hundred.Most people scored between eightyfive and one hundred and fifteen. Ms Galloway says that students who attended school for nine years scored seven points higher than those who attended for seven years.Those who went for eight years scored about four points higher. Experts have debated for years about the degree to which people are born with intelligence or develop it later.This is the nature versus nurture (教育) argument — the influence of biology compared to the environment where people are raised and educated.This study seems to support the nurture side. 33．According to the present law of Norway, children shall ________. A．attend school until they are 14 B．attend school until they are 16 C．attend school for at least 16 years D．begin to attend school at the age of 7 34．In order to carry out the study, the researchers ________. A．interviewed 107,000 students B．got some help from the government C．examined students' cognitive abilities D．compared the IQ test results to the years of schooling 35．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The ways of education. B．The purpose of the study. C．The importance of the study. D．The effects of the environment. 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。 My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night.

I think that it is a good idea. Everyone knows that we are busy all day. Seldom do we know what is happening both at home and abroad, let alone what we can do for our country. By reading newspapers we can get more information about the world outside. So I think “Friday News Hour” can broaden our mind and enrich our school life. What’s more, it will help us improve our reading skills. As for my suggestion, I think it’s better to have it twice a week. And we should make a choice about what we’ll read. I am sure everyone will benefit a lot from this activity.
