More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
2 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 re-freshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
3 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 cau-tioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一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.
5 For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep ques-tionaires,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.
6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more like-ly 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: sleeo more than 8 hours答案：F解析：该段中只包含两个句子，而每个句子中提到了have trouble falling asleep“很难入睡”，这表明该段主题应与睡眠问题相关。选项E和选项F都直接提到了sleep problems “睡眠问题”，因此推测答案可能来自这两个选项。选项E意为“睡眠时间长的人和睡眠时间短的人遇到的睡眠问题”，选项F意为“睡眠问题的分类”。结合段落内容来看，段落第一句主要提到people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight“每晚睡9-10个小时的人即睡眠时间长的人”的情况，段落第二句主要提到people who slept only 7 hours each night“每晚只睡 7个小时的人即睡眠时间短的人”呼应，因此E是答案。
整个段落只包含一个句子，该句主要提到以前的研究揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与B项“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致。所以答案为B。
A和F容易相互成为干扰项，这对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Kripke的研究直接有关，所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题，因此A是答案。
剩下的3个选项中，选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为本小题答案的可能性很小，选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”，整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法：Kripke found... (Kripke发现）; Kripke noted... (Kripke指出…); he added...（他补充说…），根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评，因此C是干扰项，答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因，然后指出克服失眠（睡眠问题的具体表现）的一种方法。
利用题干中的名词短语a good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic 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．依据该句可直接判断F项“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的其他用词，这样在文章中找到相关句：Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight（与long sleepers呼应）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．依据该句可直接判断E项“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：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. A项fall asleep again“再次入睡”是fall back to sleep的近，义结构，所以答案为A。

Sleeping
People who sleep for more than eight hours a night do not live as long as those who
sleep for six hours,according to the biggest study yet into sleep patterns and mortality（死
亡率）.
Scientists have no explanation for the findings and do not know if they mean people who
like a lie-in（睡懒觉）can extend their lives by sleeping less.
Although it is a common belief that sleeping for at least eight hours a night is vital for
health and well-being,the six-year study involving more than 1.1 million Americans older
than 30 found that those who slept for less than eight hours were far from doing themselves
any long-term harm.
"Individuals who now average 6.5 hours of sleep a night can be reassured that this is a
safe amount of sleep.From a health standpoint,there is no reason to sleep longer,"said
Daniel Kripke , a professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at the University of California, San
Diego.
Dr. Kripke said,"We don't know if long sleep periods lead to death.Additional studies
are needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve your health."
The scientists,who were funded by the American Cancer Society,found that the best
survival rates were among the men and women who slept for seven hours a night.Those
who slept for eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die during the six-year period of the
study,when other factors such as diet and smoking were taken into account.
Even those who spent a mere five hours a night in bed lived longer than those who slept
eight or more hours.However,an increasing death rate was found among those who slept
for less than five hours.
Dr. Kripke said,"Previous sleep studies have indicated that both short-and long-duration
（持续时间）sleep had higher mortality rates. However, none of those studies were large
enough to distinguish the difference between seven and eight hours a night,until now."The study shows that the longer you sleep each night,the longer you'll live.

第8题：
单选题Passage 1People often complained about not gettinga good night's sleep, but sleep patterns differ from person to person. Most adults require six to eight hours of sleep to function well, while others survive on only a few hours. Still, most people today think of sleep as one continuous period of downtime. This is not the way people used to sleep. According to researchers in earlier times, people divided sleep by first sleep a few hours, waking up, then going back to sleep.Before the 18th century, people had no gas or electricity in their homes. Fire, candles, or oil lamps were the common forms of lighting. This lack of artificial lighting in homes contributed to people's sleep patterns. It made sense for people to go to bed early. If you live in this time period, you might be a hard-working farmer, and you would come home, eat and quickly fall into bed exhausted. You would probably go to sleep at 9:00 or 10:00 P.M. In this first period of sleep-called first sleep-you would typically sleep until midnight or shortly afterwards.Halfway through the night during a period some call the watch, or watching period. When you came out of first sleep, you would stay in bed and relax quietly. You might talk with a bedfellow, meditate on the day's events or the meaning of a dream, or just let your mind wander. If you enjoyed writing or drawing, you might get out of bed to write a poem or story or draw a picture.Then you would start to feel sleepy, so would return to bed and fall asleep again for your second sleep. This period would continue until early morning when daylight arrived. Again, with no artificial lighting in homes, people naturally woke up early to take advantage of sunlight.Today, human may consider divided sleep a strange habit, but sleep researchers say that it is actually a more natural sleep pattern. Dr. Thomas Wehr of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has studied human sleep. He thinks that modern sleep problems occur because the orderly, natural way of sleep is breaking through the more recent continuous sleep pattern. Wehr and other scientists believe that artificial lighting has altered the way people sleep. In a research study, he asked 15 adults to rest and sleep in darkness for 14 hours(from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M.). At first, the subjects took a few hours to get to sleep, and then slept 11 hours a night. Then overtime, they switched to divided sleep. They fell asleep for about 3 or 5 hours in the evening, stay awake for an hour of two and the slept again for four hours till early morning.Unlike the people in the study, we modern humans generally do not practice divided sleep. However, many of us have the experience of waking up in the middle of the night. We usually consider this a sleeping problem, but perhaps we should look at it as natural behavior. Divided sleep may be the way we should all be sleeping.A first sleep followed by a relation period and a second period of sleep could help all of us to beat the stress of our fast-paced lives.In paragraph 5, what does the research study suggest about divided sleep?ADivided sleep is a strange way to sleep.
BDivided sleep is a natural sleep pattern for human.
CDivided sleep occurs when people sleep with artificial lights.
DDivided sleep means sleeping 11 hours in one period.

单选题Passage2People often complained about not getting"a good night's sleep"，but sleep patterns differ from person to person. Most adults require six to eight hours of sleep to function well，while others survive on only a few hours. Still，most people today think of sleep as one continuous period of downtime. This is not the way people used to sleep. According to researchers in earlier times，people divided sleep by first sleep a few hours，waking up，then going back to sleep.Before the 18th century，people had no gas or electricity in their homes. Fire，candles，or oil lamps were the common forms of lighting. This lack of artificial lighting in homes contributed to people's sleep patterns. It made sense for people to go to bed early. If you live in this time period，you might be a hard-working farmer，and you would come home，eat and quickly fall into bed exhausted. You would probably go to sleep at 9：00 or 10：00 P.M. In this first period of sleep-called first sleep-you would typically sleep until midnight or shortly afterwards.Halfway through the night during a period some call the watch，or watching period. When you came out of first sleep，you would stay in bed and relax quietly. You might talk with a bedfellow，meditate on the day's events or the meaning of a dream，or just let your mind wander. If you enjoyed writing or drawing，you might get out of bed to write a poem or story or draw a picture.Then you would start to feel sleepy, so would return to bed and fall asleep again for your second sleep. This period would continue until early morning when daylight arrived. Again, with no artificial lighting in homes, people naturally woke up early to take advantage of sunlight.Today, human may consider divided sleep a strange habit, but sleep researchers say that it is actually a more natural sleep pattern. Dr. Thomas Wehr of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has studied human sleep. He thinks that modern sleep problems occur because the orderly, natural way of sleep is breaking through the more recent continuous sleep pattern. Wehr and other scientists believe that artificial lighting has altered the way people sleep. In a research study, he asked 15 adults to rest and sleep in darkness for 14 hours(from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M.). At first, the subjects took a few hours to get to sleep, and then slept 11 hours a night. Then overtime, they switched to divided sleep. They fell asleep for about 3 or 5 hours in the evening, stay awake for an hour of two and then slept again for four hours till early morning.Unlike the people in the study, we modern humans generally do not practice divided sleep. However, many of us have the experience of waking up in the middle of the night. We usually consider this a sleeping "problem", but perhaps we should look at it as natural behavior. Divided sleep may be the way we should all be sleeping. A first sleep followed by a relation period and a second period of sleep could help all of us to beat the stress of our fast-paced lives.What is the main purpose of paragraph 2～4?ATo explain what happens in a night of divided sleep.
BTo give an opinion about the divided sleep pattern.
CTo describe the life of farmers before the 18th century.
DTo explain the lives of writers and artists before the 18th century.

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
2 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 re-freshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
3 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 cau-tioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一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.
5 For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep ques-tionaires,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.
6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more like-ly 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.Long sleepers are reported to be more likely 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: sleeo more than 8 hours答案：E解析：该段中只包含两个句子，而每个句子中提到了have trouble falling asleep“很难入睡”，这表明该段主题应与睡眠问题相关。选项E和选项F都直接提到了sleep problems “睡眠问题”，因此推测答案可能来自这两个选项。选项E意为“睡眠时间长的人和睡眠时间短的人遇到的睡眠问题”，选项F意为“睡眠问题的分类”。结合段落内容来看，段落第一句主要提到people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight“每晚睡9-10个小时的人即睡眠时间长的人”的情况，段落第二句主要提到people who slept only 7 hours each night“每晚只睡 7个小时的人即睡眠时间短的人”呼应，因此E是答案。
整个段落只包含一个句子，该句主要提到以前的研究揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与B项“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致。所以答案为B。
A和F容易相互成为干扰项，这对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Kripke的研究直接有关，所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题，因此A是答案。
剩下的3个选项中，选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为本小题答案的可能性很小，选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”，整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法：Kripke found... (Kripke发现）; Kripke noted... (Kripke指出…); he added...（他补充说…），根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评，因此C是干扰项，答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因，然后指出克服失眠（睡眠问题的具体表现）的一种方法。
利用题干中的名词短语a good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic 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．依据该句可直接判断F项“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的其他用词，这样在文章中找到相关句：Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight（与long sleepers呼应）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．依据该句可直接判断E项“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：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. A项fall asleep again“再次入睡”是fall back to sleep的近，义结构，所以答案为A。
利用题干中的名词结构one survey, higher risk of dying作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：one report（与 survey呼应）demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than peo-ple who sleep more．依据该句可直接判断C项“睡眠不足7个小时”是答案。 -
第11题：
You would imagine that sleeping was a quiet and peaceful experience but in reality，our brains are more active during some stages of sleep than when we are______。A.wake
B.awake
C.waken
D.awaken答案：B解析：本题考查同根词辨析。题目意为“你可以想象睡眠是一种安静和平静的体验，但在现实中，我们的大脑在睡眠的某些阶段比我们清醒时更活跃。”A选项为动词“苏醒，复活”，B选项为形容词“醒着的”，C选项动词“醒来，睡醒”， D选项动词“唤醒，激起”。题干中有are，因此横线处需要一个形容词。

Cats are creatures of habit.They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time.They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.
Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps（打盹）.Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit.Cat naps help to build up energy in the body.They are also a good way to get rid of trouble!Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans,some experts behave that people can improve their moods.People might become happier.
A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day.The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes.
Winston Churchill took cat naps.So did Presidents Harry Truman,John F.Kennedy and Lyndon B.Johnson.These famous men were known for their energy.They were also able to work long hours,often into the night.Napping was their secret.
Perhaps more people learn from cats and take naps to feel better and live longer!

This period would continue until early morning when daylight arrived. Again, with no artificial lighting in homes, people naturally woke up early to take advantage of sunlight.Today, human may consider divided sleep a strange habit, but sleep researchers say that it is actually a more natural sleep pattern. Dr. Thomas Wehr of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has studied human sleep. He thinks that modern sleep problems occur because the orderly, natural way of sleep is breaking through the more recent continuous sleep pattern. Wehr and other scientists believe that artificial lighting has altered the way people sleep. In a research study, he asked 15 adults to rest and sleep in darkness for 14 hours(from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M.). At first, the subjects took a few hours to get to sleep, and then slept 11 hours a night. Then overtime, they switched to divided sleep. They fell asleep for about 3 or 5 hours in the evening, stay awake for an hour of two and the slept again for four hours till early morning.Unlike the people in the study, we modern humans generally do not practice divided sleep. However, many of us have the experience of waking up in the middle of the night. We usually consider this a sleeping problem, but perhaps we should look at it as natural behavior. Divided sleep may be the way we should all be sleeping.A first sleep followed by a relation period and a second period of sleep could help all of us to beat the stress of our fast-paced lives.What conclusion does the writer make about divided sleep?AIt is one type of sleeping problem.
BIt may help people handle daily stress.
CIt is not the best sleep pattern for everyone.
DIt is even a common practice in modern times.
