3.A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’.It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest.1.The number of people believing politicians and journalists has __________.A.increasedB.not changedC.decreased2.Experts think this problem ____________.A.will get better soonB.will not get better soonC.will get worse soon3.Stories say businessmen give money to _______.A.politiciansB.politicians and journalistsC.journalists4.Mr Smith thinks politicians make laws __________.A.to help their friendsB.to help himC.to help everybody5.People can now check stories using _________.A.the newspapersB.the televisionC.the Internet

    Owls and Larks
    1 In this article,we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep. But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things. If this process is interrupted by,say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how dama- ging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
    2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through hab- it,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.
    3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion. On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learning一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
    4 As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps, as these may keep people up at night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.
    However,if you are having problems getting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol, take nicotine(尼古丁) , do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log,whereas others will never go near the stuff for fear of being awake all night. However,the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening,and if you drink coffee before a nap,remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

    Paragraph 4______
    A: What Should We Avoid?
    B: How Much Sleep Do We Need?
    C: Which Is Better,Being an Owl or a Lark?
    D: Why Do We Need Sleep?
    E: What Makes People Owls or Larks?
    F: What Helps Us Fall Asleep?

    答案:A
    解析:
    段落中含有明显段落主题词sleep“睡眠”,因此B(包含sleep一词),D(包含 sleep一词)和F(F中的asleep“睡着的”与sleep“睡眠”意义呼应)可能是答案。比较这几个选项:B项“我们需要多少睡眠?”,D项“为什么我们需要睡觉?”, F项“什么帮助我们入睡?”。段落开头部分(段落第三句)直接提出问题“我们为什么需要睡觉呢?”接下来的句子对这个问题进行了回答:我们需要睡觉来使大脑有机会重建白天存储的记忆并把这些记忆和以前所学的东西联系起来。如果睡眠过程被打断,就不能进行有效的记忆存储。由此可见该段主要是在讨论和分析“我们为什么需要睡觉”这个问题,因此答案D项。
    段落中没有出现明显的段落主题词。段首陈述了一种普遍存在的观念,但是作者认为这是错误的看法:人们天生是云雀(早起的人)或是猫头鹰(晚睡的人)。接下来分析原因,解释为什么这样的看法不正确:究竟人们是早起的人还是晚睡的人主要与生活方式,年纪和个性相关。接下来的句子是以生活习惯为例进行进一步的分析。由此可见该段主要内容是在讨论和分析“造成人们早起或晚睡的原因”,因此答案为E项。
    段落中反复提到owl和lark,因此这两个词可能是该段主题词,因此选项C 可能是答案。从整个段落的内容来看,段落一开始分析了为什么有的人习惯晚睡,接下来对比分析了为什么有的人习惯早起,接下来提出问题:是早起好还是晚睡好? 对于这个问题作者没有直接进行回答,而是提出“根据自己的工作,娱乐过着充实的生活而且有充足的睡眠让你的精力充沛才是关键”,由此可见整个段落主要围绕“是早起好还是晚睡好?”这个问题展 开进行讨论,因此答案为C项。
    在段落前面部分nap“午睡”一词反复出现,段落开头部分是关于nap的建议:失眠专家建议不要午睡。段落后面部分也提出了一些建议:不要喝很多酒,不要抽烟,不要喝咖啡。由此可见整个段落在讲述为了获得良好的睡眠应该注意避免的事物。因此答案为 A项“我们应该避免什么?”
    题干意为“睡眠帮助大脑……”。利用题干中的细节信息词sleep和brain作为定位线索,在第一段中找到相关句:In this article, we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep.But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things.If this process is interrupted by, say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how damaging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.定位线索词集中出现在第一段第四句中,该句意为“我们需要通过睡眠来帮助大脑有机会重建在白天存储的记忆”。由此可知答案为F项“重建在白天存储的记忆”。
    题干意为“要照顾小孩子的父母往往……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语parents, very young children作为定位线索,在第二段找到相关句:The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.定位线索词集中出现在第二段倒数第二句中,该句意为“很多早起的人之所以早起是因为习惯,例如,要照顾小孩子的父母”。由此可知要照顾小孩子的父母习惯早起,因此D项“起得很早”是答案。
    题干意为“一种好的生活方式意味着一个人会……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a good lifestyle作为定位线索,在短文第三段中找到相关句:The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book,movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion.On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learn-ing一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life(与a good lifestyle呼应)in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.定位线索词出现在第三段最后一句,斌句提到“过一种兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,让充足的睡眠为你带来充沛的精力是关键”。由此可知兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,即拥有一种好的生活方式意味着有带来充沛精力的充足睡眠,因此该题答案为A项“睡眠充足以获得充沛的精力”。
    题干意为“忠告大多数人……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语good advice和 most people作为定位线索,在最后一段中找到相关句:As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps,as these may keep people up at night.If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.However,if you are having problems get-ting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid.

    More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

    Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
    Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
    These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night. He added that it might be a good idea for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
    Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep,for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
    For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
    Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview,Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed."It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake,"he said.

    One of the sleep problems is waking in the middle of the night,unable to______.
    A:fall asleep again
    B:become more energetic the following day
    C:sleep less than 7 hours
    D:confirm those serious consequences
    E:suffer sleep problems
    F: sleep more than 8 hours

    答案:A
    解析:
    Investigators … found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling , than…该句回应了文章的主题―睡眠时间太长不是好事。对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系,但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题,因此判断E(睡眠时间长和睡眠时间短的人所面临的睡眠问题)是答案。
    第四段只有一句话:Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep , for instance…这句话表明了该段的中心是“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险“。因此选B。
    第五段一开始就提到了Kripke的研究,但后来也说到Sleep problems included … A和F容易相互成为干扰项,具有一定的迷惑性。但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”属于Kripke的问卷上要回答的内容,和Kripke的研究有关,所以判断A是答案。
    第六段中出现的Kripke found , Kripke noted和he added表明Kripke的观点和态度应该是该段的中心,对比被选项,排除C(段落中没有出现批评的话语)和F(段落中没有具体提到睡眠问题的表现形式),而该段倒数第二句中one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed(克服失眠的方法之一是少花时间在床上)与D呼应。
    根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。因此要借助句意来判断,答案是F。
    借助句意“根据报道,睡眠时间长的人更有可能……”,并结合文章主题(睡眠时间长不是好事情)判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容(利用题干中的Long sleepers和 more likely作为答案线索): Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.
    句意为“其中的一个睡眠问题是在半夜醒来,不能……”文章第五段倒数第一句话提到午夜醒来很难再次入睡,直接判断A合适。
    句意:“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚……的人有更高的死亡风险。”在第四段找到相关信息:people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.判断C是答案。

    Owls and Larks
    1 In this article,we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep. But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things. If this process is interrupted by,say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how dama- ging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
    2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through hab- it,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.
    3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion. On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learning一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
    4 As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps, as these may keep people up at night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.
    However,if you are having problems getting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol, take nicotine(尼古丁) , do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log,whereas others will never go near the stuff for fear of being awake all night. However,the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening,and if you drink coffee before a nap,remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

    A good lifestyle means one can______.
    A: sleep enough to bring most refreshment
    B: keep away from coffee in the evening
    C: stay up till the early hours of the morning
    D: get up quite early
    E: store memories in the brain
    F: rebuild memories stored during the day

    答案:A
    解析:
    段落中含有明显段落主题词sleep“睡眠”,因此B(包含sleep一词),D(包含 sleep一词)和F(F中的asleep“睡着的”与sleep“睡眠”意义呼应)可能是答案。比较这几个选项:B项“我们需要多少睡眠?”,D项“为什么我们需要睡觉?”, F项“什么帮助我们入睡?”。段落开头部分(段落第三句)直接提出问题“我们为什么需要睡觉呢?”接下来的句子对这个问题进行了回答:我们需要睡觉来使大脑有机会重建白天存储的记忆并把这些记忆和以前所学的东西联系起来。如果睡眠过程被打断,就不能进行有效的记忆存储。由此可见该段主要是在讨论和分析“我们为什么需要睡觉”这个问题,因此答案D项。
    段落中没有出现明显的段落主题词。段首陈述了一种普遍存在的观念,但是作者认为这是错误的看法:人们天生是云雀(早起的人)或是猫头鹰(晚睡的人)。接下来分析原因,解释为什么这样的看法不正确:究竟人们是早起的人还是晚睡的人主要与生活方式,年纪和个性相关。接下来的句子是以生活习惯为例进行进一步的分析。由此可见该段主要内容是在讨论和分析“造成人们早起或晚睡的原因”,因此答案为E项。
    段落中反复提到owl和lark,因此这两个词可能是该段主题词,因此选项C 可能是答案。从整个段落的内容来看,段落一开始分析了为什么有的人习惯晚睡,接下来对比分析了为什么有的人习惯早起,接下来提出问题:是早起好还是晚睡好? 对于这个问题作者没有直接进行回答,而是提出“根据自己的工作,娱乐过着充实的生活而且有充足的睡眠让你的精力充沛才是关键”,由此可见整个段落主要围绕“是早起好还是晚睡好?”这个问题展 开进行讨论,因此答案为C项。
    在段落前面部分nap“午睡”一词反复出现,段落开头部分是关于nap的建议:失眠专家建议不要午睡。段落后面部分也提出了一些建议:不要喝很多酒,不要抽烟,不要喝咖啡。由此可见整个段落在讲述为了获得良好的睡眠应该注意避免的事物。因此答案为 A项“我们应该避免什么?”
    题干意为“睡眠帮助大脑……”。利用题干中的细节信息词sleep和brain作为定位线索,在第一段中找到相关句:In this article, we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep.But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things.If this process is interrupted by, say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how damaging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.定位线索词集中出现在第一段第四句中,该句意为“我们需要通过睡眠来帮助大脑有机会重建在白天存储的记忆”。由此可知答案为F项“重建在白天存储的记忆”。
    题干意为“要照顾小孩子的父母往往……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语parents, very young children作为定位线索,在第二段找到相关句:The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.定位线索词集中出现在第二段倒数第二句中,该句意为“很多早起的人之所以早起是因为习惯,例如,要照顾小孩子的父母”。由此可知要照顾小孩子的父母习惯早起,因此D项“起得很早”是答案。
    题干意为“一种好的生活方式意味着一个人会……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a good lifestyle作为定位线索,在短文第三段中找到相关句:The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book,movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion.On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learn-ing一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life(与a good lifestyle呼应)in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.定位线索词出现在第三段最后一句,斌句提到“过一种兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,让充足的睡眠为你带来充沛的精力是关键”。由此可知兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,即拥有一种好的生活方式意味着有带来充沛精力的充足睡眠,因此该题答案为A项“睡眠充足以获得充沛的精力”。
    题干意为“忠告大多数人……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语good advice和 most people作为定位线索,在最后一段中找到相关句:As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps,as these may keep people up at night.If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.However,if you are having problems get-ting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid.

    More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

    Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
    Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
    These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night. He added that it might be a good idea for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
    Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep,for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
    For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
    Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview,Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed."It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake,"he said.

    To get a good night's rest,people may not need to______.
    A:fall asleep again
    B:become more energetic the following day
    C:sleep less than 7 hours
    D:confirm those serious consequences
    E:suffer sleep problems
    F: sleep more than 8 hours

    答案:F
    解析:
    Investigators … found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling , than…该句回应了文章的主题―睡眠时间太长不是好事。对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系,但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题,因此判断E(睡眠时间长和睡眠时间短的人所面临的睡眠问题)是答案。
    第四段只有一句话:Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep , for instance…这句话表明了该段的中心是“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险“。因此选B。
    第五段一开始就提到了Kripke的研究,但后来也说到Sleep problems included … A和F容易相互成为干扰项,具有一定的迷惑性。但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”属于Kripke的问卷上要回答的内容,和Kripke的研究有关,所以判断A是答案。
    第六段中出现的Kripke found , Kripke noted和he added表明Kripke的观点和态度应该是该段的中心,对比被选项,排除C(段落中没有出现批评的话语)和F(段落中没有具体提到睡眠问题的表现形式),而该段倒数第二句中one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed(克服失眠的方法之一是少花时间在床上)与D呼应。
    根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。因此要借助句意来判断,答案是F。
    借助句意“根据报道,睡眠时间长的人更有可能……”,并结合文章主题(睡眠时间长不是好事情)判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容(利用题干中的Long sleepers和 more likely作为答案线索): Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.
    句意为“其中的一个睡眠问题是在半夜醒来,不能……”文章第五段倒数第一句话提到午夜醒来很难再次入睡,直接判断A合适。
    句意:“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚……的人有更高的死亡风险。”在第四段找到相关信息:people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.判断C是答案。

    填空题
    The people injured in the accident (send) ____ to the nearest hospital for treatment last night.

    正确答案: were sent
    解析:
