Their parents had passed away long ago. Sam had taken care of Julie by himself. One day, Sam woke up at three in the morning as usual. When Julie was sleeping alone, Sam left their little house to send newspapers. When he found an old man sitting in front of their house, Sam was so surprised that he stopped to look at him closely. It was an icy morning and he looked very cold. The poor old man didnt have anything to cover himself with. Sam went into his house to get the old man a blanket （毯子）.However, there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his fathers coat. It was the only thing of his fathers that he had left. Sam wrote a short note.“Sir, I found you sleeping in front of my house. This is my fathers coat. I hope it fits you well.” He put the note in a pocket of the coat, and covered the old man with the coat. Then he went to work. When he came back three hours later, both the man and the coat were gone. Sam thought that it was the best thing he could have done with his fathers coat. That afternoon, Sam hurried home after school because Julie was at home alone. However, Julie and the old man were standing in front of the house, and Julie shouted to Sam, “Brother! Hes our grandfather!” The grandfather smiled and said, “Sam. Thank you for giving me the coat and letting me know how good my grandson is.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker. Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies dont pay overtime. Their workers dont get more pay for more work. Some people think its their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they dont work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying,“All work and no play makes Jack a dull （迟钝的） boy.”If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world. 56.A Japanese worker works more hours a year than a French one.A. 513B. 1,646C. 2,159D. 3,80557.The word “extra” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”.A. 正常的B. 额外的C. 有用的D. 少量的58.People in get only two weeks of paid vacation a year.A.

They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.61.This passage is probably taken from .A. a story bookB. a poster C. a science fictionD. a medical magazine62.Whats the best way to increase workers effects?A.

B how often询问动作发生的频率，四个选项中只有About twice a month.（大约每月两次）和Almost every day.（几乎每天）表示频率，故排除、两项。再由下句“我忙于我的学业”可知，“我”在网上与朋友聊天并不频繁，故选项。40. D 句中已有主语it，weather（天气）是名词，故感叹句用what引导，排除B、C两项。再由下句句意“我们不能去玄武湖划船了”可推知，现在天气不好，故用形容词bad。因此选D。三、41.A important “重要的”；expensive “昂贵的”；useless “无用的”；interesting “有趣的”。 由第一段第二句中的because it was a gift from his father(因为这块表是他爸爸送给他的礼物)可知，前文应该是指这块表不贵，但对他来说很重要，故选A。其他三项不符合语境。42.B 根据上下文情景可推知， 这位农民要寻找自己的表。find“找到”；search“在中搜寻”；watch“观看；注视”；study“研究”。空格后the barn作宾语,所以search符合题意，句意为“在搜寻谷仓许久之后”。43.D 由上下文情景可知此处表示“这位农民向在附近玩耍的一群孩子寻求帮助”。ask for help是固定搭配， 意为“寻求帮助”。44.A promise“承诺，许诺”；teach“教”；warn“警告”；believe “相信”。 由后面the person who found the watch would be rewarded（找到手表的人将得到奖赏）可知，promise（承诺）符合题意。 45.C angrily “生气地”；slowly “慢慢地”；immediately “立即，马上”；hardly “几乎不”。由此句中的 hurried（赶紧，赶快）可推知，孩子们马上冲进了谷仓，因此immediately符合题意。46.D 本文主要叙述了找表的过程，因此watch符合题意。句意为“他们到处搜寻，但仍然没能找到那块手表”。47.B way “方法”；chance“机会”； lesson “功课，教训”； smile “微笑”。由下文After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!可知，这个小男孩又进去找那块表。因此可推知，一个小男孩让这位农民再给他一次找表的机会。48.B throw “丢，扔”；send “送”； give “给”； catch “抓住”。 根据后面的came out可知该句表示“因此农民又把那个小男孩送回谷仓找表”，故选B。49.C come“来”；know“知道”；succeed“成功”；suggest“建议”。由前句After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!和句末where the rest had failed中的关键词failed可推知，succeed符合题意。50.C beautiful “美丽的”；smart “聪明的”；peaceful “安静的；平静的”；quick“迅速的”。由than可知空格处与后文中的excited（兴奋的，激动的）相比较，故peaceful符合语境。句意：这告诉我们相对于在兴奋的心态下，有时在平静的心态下人们能够更好地思考。四、51.C 由短文第二段最后一句“It was an icy morning and he looked very colD. ”可知答案应为C。52.C 由短文第二段中的“.Sam left their little house to send newspapers.”可知，萨姆早上的工作是送报纸，故答案为C。53.A die“死”；go on“继续”；leave home“离开家”；pass by“经过”。结合上下文意思可知，pass away意为“去世；消失”，与die意思相同，故答案为A。54.D 由短文第三段中的“However，there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his fathers coat.”可知，答案应选D。55.B 阅读全文可知，文章主要讲述了男孩的善举无意中促成亲人相认的故事，故答案为B。56.A 由短文第二段中“In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year.”可知，每个日本工人每年比每个法国工人多工作513个小时，故选A。57.B 由画线单词所在句句意“一些人在时间工作是因为他们想要赚到更多的钱”可推知画线单词extra意为“额外的”，故选B。58.C 由短文第四段中“In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks.”可知，美国人每年有两周的带薪休假时间，故选C。59.C 由短文第四段内容可知A项错误；由第一段中“They dont have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.”可知许多人说他们没有足够的时间放松，故B项错误；由第三段中“However, many companies dont pay overtime.”可知许多公司不给加班者额外的工资，故C项正确；由最后一段中“One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days.”可知不到一半的人享受了他们全部的假期，故D项错误。60.A 由短文第三段中“Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they dont work more hours.”可推知“许多工人不得不工作很长的时间”。故选A。61.D 在第一段和第三段中，医学专家和睡眠专家分别分析了中午小睡一下对人们的好处。由此可以推断，这篇文章摘自一本医学杂志，而不是一本故事书、一张海报或者一本科幻小说。62.D 在第三段中，专家指出，提高工作效率最好的方法是小睡一下，但最多睡20至30分钟。63.B 由第三段的第一、二句Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people sho
