time would have a chaotic effect and throw everyone off balance.scientists have shown that teens are more active later at night than children and adults, so most teens are probably staying up late for whatever reasons. “the researchers measured the presence of the sleeppromoting hormone (荷尔蒙) in teenagers saliva (唾液) at different time of the day.” they learned that the hormone levels rise later at night than they do in children and adultsand remain at a higher level later in the morning. measuring the hormone in the saliva is a good way to show that most teens have sleep problems, but changing school schedules isnt the best way to fix this. most people arguing against changing school schedules would say that it would only cause teens to stay up and wake up later, thus leaving them with the same problem.the biggest problem schools would come across from changing their schedules would be the afterschool sports and job conflicts students and teachers would meet. “teachers reported that students were more alert, and research showed that afterschool sports and jobs would suffer.” students in that area might have been able to deal with less time for jobs and sports somehow, but some of them have practice and earlier plans that would become conflicted if this change were to occur. most students rarely have time to play a sport and do homework before 9 or 10 oclock. opening schools later may have worked for some areas, but the reality is often very different.21the meaning of the underlined word “chaotic” in the first paragraph is close to “_”apositive bapparentcnegative dabsurd答案与解析：c词义猜测题。根据文章第二段最后两句以及第三段首句的内容可知，改变学校的上课时间会产生负面影响，故此处chaotic意思同negative。22most teens have sleep problems because _.athey are more active than children and adultsbschool work takes up most of their timectheir hormone levels are higher later at nightdthey probably like staying up for no reason答案与解析：c细节理解题。由文章第二段中的内容可知：大多数青少年有睡眠方面的问题是由于他们体内促进睡眠的荷尔蒙含量到深夜才升高。23which of the following is true according to the passage?athere are many conflicts between students and teachers.bsome of the teachers have practice and earlier plans.cmost students are able to do sports and homework before 9：00.d. ways to solve students sleep problem vary from area to area.答案与解析：d细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可得知，解决青少年睡眠不足的问题采取的措施因地区而不同。24the passage mainly develops by _.agiving reasons bshowing examplesccomparing facts doffering solutions答案与解析：a推理判断题。由文章内容可知，这篇文章首先提出观点，然后阐述各个方面的原因，写作方法应是a项。bi travel a lot, and i find out different “styles” of directions every time i ask “how can i get to the post office”foreign tourists are often confused in japan because most streets there dont have names. in japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. for example, the japanese will say to travelers, “go straight down to the corner. turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. the post office is across from the bus stop.”in the countryside of the american midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. there are no mountains，so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances. in kansas or iowa, for example, people will say, “go north two miles. turn east，and then go another mile.”people in los angeles，california, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “how far away is the post office？” you ask. “oh，” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” you say, “yes, but how many miles away is it？” they dont know.its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. what happens in such a situation? a new yorker might say, “sorry, i have no idea.” but in yucatan, mexico，no one answers “i dont know.” people in yucatan believe that “i dont know” is impolite. they usually give an answer，often a wrong one. a tourist can get very, very lost in yucatan!25when a tourist asks the japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _.adescribe the place carefullybshow him a map of the placectell him the names of the streetsdrefer to recognizable buildings and places答案与解析：d细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句：“in japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names”和接下来所列举的事例可知：日本人用可辨认的建筑物指路。故选d项。26people in yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.ain order to save timebas a testcso as to be politedfor fun答案与解析：c推理判断题。根据第五段的“people in yucatan believe that i dont know is impolite. they usually give an answer, often a wrong one.”可知答案为c项。27what can we infer from the text?aits important for travelers to understand cultural differences.bits useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.cpeople have similar understandings of politeness.dnew yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.答案与解析：a推理判断题。根据文章第一段及整个文章的发展脉络分析：选项c、d显然是文章的细节，而选项b只说明了游客问问题的合适方式而没有提到回答的文化背景，因此，选项a更能涵盖文章的主要内容。cdrying food is a simple, lowcost way to keep food safe for eating. a piece of equipment that uses the sun is a good way to dry food. the simplest solar dryer is called the direct dryer.it has a cover made of clear glass or plastic. when the sun shines into the box，heat is produced. the heat is trapped inside the box and cannot escape back through the cover. the heat dries the food. the solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black. this is because dark colors hold heat while light colors reflect it. one way to make the sides black is to use wood that has been blackened by fire.the box can be made of almost any material such as wood and metal. the surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. a surface made of wires with small square openings works very well. you should use wire with the largest openings that do not allow the food to fall through. air that comes in from below the wire surface will also carry away water evaporated(蒸发)from the food as it dries.a direct dryer will dry most vegetables in twoandonehalf to four hours at temperatures from 43 to 63. fruits take longer，from four to six hours at the same temperatures. solar food drying is fast，safe and lowcost. solar dried food tastes delicious and looks good. it is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin c are kept in the food.28we learn from the text that the solar dryer works well when _.athe cover of it is heated by firebthe sides of the box are black csome heat can escape from the topdfood takes up a small space in it答案与解析：b细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“the solar dryer works better if the sides of the box are black.”可知应选b。29the surface where food is put should be _.adried by wind or airbpainted with light colorcmade with small openingsdmade of glass or wire答案与解析：c细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“the surface on which the food is placed should permit air to enter from below and pass through to the food. a surface made of wires with small square openings works very well.”可知，盒子的底部应该通风，所以要有洞。30we can learn from the text that _.aits easier to dry fruits than other foodbfood dried by a direct dryer looks black cit takes long to dry food with sunshinedsolar drying is a healthy way to dry food答案与解析：d推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“it is also healthy because nutrients such as vitamin c are kept in the food.”可知，利用太阳能烘干食物是一种健康的方法。31which of the following would be the best title for the text?ahow to keep foodbhow to dry foodcthe direct dryerdthe solar power答案与解析：c主旨大意题 。从全文可知，本文主要讲了一个简单的太阳能烘干器的制作过程。dthe number of speakers of english in shakespeares time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the united states, canada, great britain, ireland, south africa, australia and new zealand. in addition to the standard varieties of english found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms. in fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of english in addition to their own languages. the purpose for english learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. the main reason for the widespread demand for english is its presentday importance as a world language. besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, english is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. it is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. it is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former british colonies. many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the west. 32what would be the best title for this passage?athe difficulties of learning englishbinternational communications cthe standard varieties of englishdenglish as a world language答案与解析：d主旨题。根据第三段第一句及全文的内容：英语在各个国家的各个领域的应用，可推知此题的答案为 d。33which of the following statements is not true?asome 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of english. bthere are some 260 million native speakers of english in the world. cit is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of english. dpeople learn english for a variety of reasons. 答案与解析：a细节题。根据文章第一段中第二句及第二段的第一句的描述可推知此题的答案为a。34according to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of english?ait was popular during shakespeares time.bit is used in former british colonies. cit serves the needs of its native speakers. dit is a world language that is used for international communication. 答案与解析：d推断题。根据文章最后一段的描述，英语在世界不同领域、不同的地区的使用，可推知此题的答案为d。35what forms an ad
