Long-term effects include obesity，insulin(胰岛素)resistance, and heart disease.A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that were losing one hour of sleep each night一一more than two full weeks of sleep every year.The good news is that，like all debt, with some work，sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch upFor the longterm lack of sleep，take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep patternGo to bed when you are tired，and allow your body to wake you in the morning(no alarm clock allowed)You may find yourself catatonic(有紧张症的)in the beginning of the recovery cycle：expect to have ten hours shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however，the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.So earn back that lost sleepand follow the dictates of your innate(固有的)sleep needs. Youll feel better“When you put away sleep debt,you become a superman，”says Stanfords Dement,talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested51If you have shortterm sleep deprivation, _.Ayou can think and remember things clearlyByou can still see everything very clearlyCyou can drive your car easilyDyou may have a poor sight52The example of sleep math is used to show_Ain what case you build up a sleep debtBwhy you need six hours sleep every nightCwhy you are full of energy even when you dont haye enoug sleepDyou should drink coffee to keep energetic when you dont have enough sleep53The author begins Paragraph 3 with _.Aan orderBa storyCa definition Dan example54By saying the undedined sentence in the last paragraph，Dement means _Aa superman always needs a lot of sleepByou will be in a good state with enough sleepCyou can become superman after you repay your debtDYou will become superman if you dont make up for sleep debt55What might be the most suitable title for the passage? ACan you catch up on lost sleep?BHow can you keep energetic?CCan you have a good sleep?DWhat is sleep debt?第卷(非选择题，共35分)第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。The International Coast Clean-up is an organization that is set up to help the environment in the worid，especially the areas near the watersRecently，more than a half-million vulunteers are taking part in an international movement to comb the worlds shorelines for cigarette butts, bottle caps and any other rubbish they can findThe Intematiohal Coast Clean-up is in its 14th volunteers ready to collect more than 10 million pieces of rubbish along 19,308 kilometers of shoreline in 70 countriesSponsored(赞助)by the Centre for Marine Conservation and several other nonprofit(非盈利的) groups and corporate sponsors, the activity is a one-day attempt to improve conditions on important waterfronts.Cigarette butts are by far the most common item, with exactly 1.6 million picked up and counted in the last years clean-upThey were followed in numbers by food wrappers，pl
